A Bedtime Story for Boys and Girls

I liked this story so much that I reblog it. I hope my great-grandchildren can read it one day.

SUPER STORM

How a Super Storm affects a tiny island!

Children swept away into the sea never to be seen again.

I’ve had my OP and am recovering. More about it later.

I thank all of you for your good wishes.

Cheerio, Auntyuta 🙂

We need your help!

A Dose A Day

Calling all bloggers. Please repost this to reach more people.

I was watching this morning’s newscast and there are still hungry typhoon victims not reached by help.

Typhoon Yolanda left millions of people homeless, starving and worst, without a family. Please do something to help.

PLEASE REBLOG.

You never know how much generous people can reach this.

In this week’s Time Magazine JOEL STEIN writes that people are wasting a lot of time. They should really leave that to the professionals.

He says about 20% of the 31,000 volunteer Wikipedia contributors spend more than three hours a day editing entries.
People answer surveys on pop-up ads, phone calls and e-mail. – – – –

He points out that before the Internet came along, most people rarely wrote anything at all for pleasure or intellectual satisfaction after graduating from high school or college. – – – –

I just read this book review and am fascinated by what this Czech author has experienced during the course of his life, how he fared as a Jew under the Nazis and under Communism.

Fashions on Melbourne Cup Day

Today was Melbourne Cup Day in Australia. Fashions are very important on that day. When you go to the above link you can get a bit of a glance at some of the fashions. Enjoy! 🙂

Zacchaeus, a senior Tax Collector and a Wealthy Man (Lk 19-1-10)

Zacchaeus said to Jesus: “Look, Sir, I am going to give half my property to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody I will pay him back four times the amount.”

Occasionally there may be a wealthy person in our society who does likewise. Wouldn’t it be a marvellous world if more wealthy people had a similar attitude?

I want to mention here that you can now find “The Crisis of Civilisation” among my pages at the top. You may remember that I reblogged it from The Guardian.

Do I give up or fight on?

I am so sorry, Robyn, that all this makes you feel so tired right now. You are a very brave woman and I hope that all your fighting and struggling may result in some changes to help people who are in desperate need.

Caught in the Act (of Reading): Edwin Turner, Master Book Thief

I just read this interview and found parts of it very thought provoking. I reblog it so that other interested people might get a chance to read it and be inspired by it.

WordPress.com News

Book lovers, lock your libraries: a voracious reader is among us. We recently chatted with Edwin Turner, the mastermind behind Biblioklept, a popular literary blog dedicated to books, art, and the ways in which the two shape our world. Join us for a conversation with Ed about blogging, literature, and finding a sense of community through the solitary act of writing.

Why did you start Biblioklept?

In September of 2006 two friends suggested I start a blog. I thought the idea of blogging was kind of silly, but I started Biblioklept as a WordPress.com blog after doing some basic research into the various platforms out there. Then I started writing. And then I became addicted.

How did you come up with the intriguing name?

I think it was just there, waiting for me. Like a lot of people who read, I keep lists of words — I mean…
