I have always believed words are powerful, which is one reason why I read so much.
I love this quote;
Words - so innocent and powerless as they are, as standing in a dictionary, how potent for good and evil they become in the hands of one who knows how to combine them. ~Nathaniel Hawthorne
Nations and whole civilizations have risen and fallen, mass genocides, general human dysfunction has all been because of the power of words.
You are quite welcome, Hawk. Nice star by the way.
The storm took down about a third of my Bradford Pear today. Which was fine really...damn tree is gonna come down sooner or later - it's easier to have it come down a little at a time I guess. My son's buddy sent my a picture so I knew it was going to be a hellofa job to chop up, but the boys said that they were going to start working on it, so I was expecting to see a lot less tree on the yard when I got home.
Right. They were in there playing on the daggone computer..."Oh it's too wet mom...you'll sink right into the mud...can't chop it up yet...". I changed clothes, went out to the shed and got my axe...and had about a fourth of it chopped up before my neighbor and his wife came home across the street and yelled out "where are the boys??". I told him they were useless teenagers and I was over them. The heck with them. Yeah I was MAD. He went to the front door and called the boys out...told them to get their butts outside and let's get that tree chopped up. We came in just shy of 8pm...all done. Took all 5 of us...what a mess! But I am so glad it's done!!
