He was born in 1672 in Wiltshire. He spent four years traveling in Europe, studying politics and writing poetry, and became a Commissioner of Appeals on his return to England. His shyness made public office difficult. His most famous work is the play Cato, a tragedy about ancient Rome. He died in 1719. _________________ SURVIVOR-10 YEAR REMISSION-APRIL 9, 1998-2008-CELEBRATE!   Carol Adventure Seeker Joined : 03 Sep 2006 Posts : 3577 Location : The Seaside Mood :  Character Name: Kate Thorvald Subject: Re: Quote   Fri Apr 27, 2007 9:22 am Nice quote Rhonda. _________________ "It's a miracle!"   Susie Old Rugged Cross Age : 66 Joined : 03 Oct 2006 Posts : 4936 Location : What A Friend We Have In Jesus Mood :  Character Name: Walk Tall Subject: Re: Quote   Fri Apr 27, 2007 6:06 pm That was really great Rhonda. _________________ I could give up chocolate but I'm no quitter!   Rhonda Prairie Survivor Joined : 07 Sep 2006 Posts : 5999 Location : Out of My Mind!!

Our lives are connected by a thousand invisible threads, and along these sympathetic fibers, our actions run as causes and return to us as results." – Herman Melville About Herman Melville American author Herman Melville is best known for his epic whaling novel, Moby-Dick, which wasn't recognized as a masterpiece until after his death. He was born in New York in 1819. At age 20, he went to sea on a whaling ship. His seafaring adventures included time with cannibals in the Marquesas Islands, the basis for his successful novel Typee. His later, more philosophical, novels were not as well received as his early adventure yarns, and he died in obscurity in 1891. _________________ SURVIVOR-10 YEAR REMISSION-APRIL 9, 1998-2008-CELEBRATE!   cinlynn New Pioneer Age : 41 Joined : 17 Apr 2007 Posts : 84 Mood :  Character Name: Half-Pint Subject: Re: Quote   Sat Apr 28, 2007 1:38 pm I got a few my great grandma always told me. Men are just bigger boys with more expensive toys. and Men never grow up they just get bigger and more stubborn. And my favorite is the main reason men get married is cause their mamma's get tired of raising them so they have to get a wife to raise them.   LHDaisy New Pioneer Age : 21 Joined : 11 Mar 2007 Posts : 281 Mood :  Subject: Re: Quote   Sun Apr 29, 2007 5:05 am That was realy nice!   Rob Ingalls Friend for Life Joined : 20 Feb 2007 Posts : 2992 Location : Michigan Mood :  Character Name: Subject: Re: Quote   Sun Apr 29, 2007 6:29 am Stephen King said the real reason people get married is that nobody wants to be alone in bed when the monster finally comes out of the closet.   Rhonda Prairie Survivor Joined : 07 Sep 2006 Posts : 5999 Location : Out of My Mind!!

Fail better." – Samuel Beckett About Samuel Beckett Samuel Beckett, the absurdist Irish playwright known for his darkly funny minimalist plays like Waiting for Godot and Endgame, won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1969 and reportedly gave away most of the money to needy artists. He was born in Dublin in 1906 and moved to France to join the resistance during World War II. His plays, poetry, and novels used elements from burlesque and vaudeville to explore the human struggle to make sense of life. He died in 1989. _________________ SURVIVOR-10 YEAR REMISSION-APRIL 9, 1998-2008-CELEBRATE!   Savannah "Psalm 34" Joined : 07 Sep 2006 Posts : 12524 Location : Sheltered in the arms of God Mood :  Subject: Re: Quote   Sat May 05, 2007 8:33 am Rob wrote: Stephen King said the real reason people get married is that nobody wants to be alone in bed when the monster finally comes out of the closet.

With female menopause you gain weight and get hot flashes. Male menopause — you get to date young girls and drive motorcycles. - John Wayne _________________ SURVIVOR-10 YEAR REMISSION-APRIL 9, 1998-2008-CELEBRATE!   MattLabMyLove Ingalls Friend for Life Age : 27 Joined : 12 Dec 2006 Posts : 3150 Location : Matt's # 1 admirer!

Watson About Thomas J. Watson American businessman Thomas J. Watson built IBM into a Fortune 500 company. He was born in rural New York in 1874. He sold sewing machines, musical instruments, and cash registers before becoming president of the Computing-Tabulating-Recording company, which merged with IBM in 1924. His paternalistic business style was a model for later Japanese management, and his motto, "THINK," became his company's slogan. Under his leadership, IBM funded the first computers. He died in 1956. _________________ SURVIVOR-10 YEAR REMISSION-APRIL 9, 1998-2008-CELEBRATE!   Amy Town Business Owner Joined : 09 Oct 2006 Posts : 1788 Location : Michigan Mood :  Subject: Re: Quote   Tue May 22, 2007 5:00 am Good one, Rhonda!
