The rabbit needs some Trix, by any means necessary!

Don't you think, after all these years, he deserves some?

Should we start a campaign to get him some Trix?

The Man from Snowy River

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Man_from_Snowy_Ri...

... a 1982 Australian drama film based on the Banjo Paterson poem of the same name. Great story line and acting. Prominent themes such as hard work and honesty were demonstrated throughout the movie. I remember the exceptional scenery and musical score. The soundtrack is very nice.

With Tom Burlinson, Terence Donovan, Kirk Douglas, Sigrid Thornton, etc.

--- ♥ --- The Most Beautiful Flower --- ♥ ---

The park bench was deserted as I sat down to read

Beneath the long, straggly branches of an old willow tree.

Disillusioned by life with good reason to frown,

For the world was intent on dragging me down.

And if that weren't enough to ruin my day,

A young boy out of breath approached me, all tired from play.

He stood right before me with his head tilted down

And said with great excitement, "Look what I found!"

In his hand was a flower, and what a pitiful sight,

With its petals all worn - not enough rain, or too little light.

Wanting him to take his dead flower and go off to play,

I faked a small smile and then shifted away.

But instead of retreating he sat next to my side

And placed the flower to his nose

And declared with overacted surprise,

"It sure smells pretty and it's beautiful, too.

That's why I picked it; here, it's for you."

The weed before me was dying or dead.

Not vibrant of colors: orange, yellow or red.

But I knew I must take it, or he might never leave.

So I reached for the flower, and replied, "Just what I need."

But instead of him placing the flower in my hand,

He held it mid-air without reason or plan.

It was then that I noticed for the very first time

That weed-toting boy could not see: he was blind.

I heard my voice quiver; tears shone in the sun

As I thanked him for picking the very best one.

"You're welcome," he smiled, and then ran off to play,

Unaware of the impact he'd had on my day.

I sat there and wondered how he managed to see

A self-pitying woman beneath an old willow tree.

How did he know of my self-indulged plight?

Perhaps from his heart, he'd been blessed with true sight.

Through the eyes of a blind child, at last I could see

The problem was not with the world; the problem was me.

And for all of those times I myself had been blind,

I vowed to see the beauty in life,

And appreciate every second that's mine.

And then I held that wilted flower up to my nose

And breathed in the fragrance of a beautiful rose

And smiled as I watched that young boy,

Another weed in his hand,

About to change the life of an unsuspecting old man.

Yahoo guidelines prohibit the use of profanity ...

Do you think he sets a good example?

Biden ... "dropping the f-bomb"

"Profanity is the attempt of a lazy and feeble mind to express itself forcefully."

"Profanity is the use of strong words by weak people."

"When a man uses profanity to support an argument,

it indicates that either the man or the argument is weak - probably both."

~ Mark Twain

POLL >>> Kool-Aid or V8 <<<

Since the "deem and pass" method seems to be the order of the day ...

Do you think I could just arrogantly "deem" my taxes to be paid this year?

POLL: forced to submit or rage against the machine

There are many possibilities.

Considering health-care reform ... here's one that comes to mind:

"For What It's Worth" -- Buffalo Springfield --

Album: Buffalo Springfield

There's something happening here

What it is ain't exactly clear

There's a man with a gun over there

Telling me I got to beware

I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound

Everybody look what's going down

There's battle lines being drawn

Nobody's right if everybody's wrong ...

Most of the time, I'm a purist -- Original Premium Salines (Nabisco). Triscuit, Wheat Thins and Cheez-It are also favorites. Then, of course, there's Barnum's Animal Crackers. (Where are the bunnies?) Hope everyone is having a good Monday. :o)

Let's see how creative you can be! :o)~

You've just become the proud caretaker of a bunny.

Now, to choose a name. What would it be?

Myself: current collection - only 25, or so

past collections - I lost count (They come, and they go.)

"Progress" is usually a good thing, but are "updates" and "upgrades" always better?

Or do they just make for more confusing ways to "screw things up?"

(Just one of those passing memories.) (( LOL ))

My bunny rabbit friends tell me that it can have a powerful effect on bunnies
