Thought I forgot, eh?  Nah. I just received a surprise visit from my grandson bearing gifts -Starbucks’ caramel frappacino.  I love that man!  I say man because he’s turning 18 next month, a Thanksgiving baby.  We were listening to different styles of rap music.  
The movie today is ” The Commitments“.  The movie is a true original – funny, touching, and has an excellent soundtrack.

Google:  “The Commitments is a 1991 Irish-British-American musical comedy-drama film based on the 1987 novel of the same name by Roddy Doyle. It was directed by Alan Parker, and written by Doyle, Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais. Set in the Dublin Northside, the film tells the story of Jimmy Rabbitte (Robert Arkins), a young music fanatic who assembles a group of working-class youths to form a soul band named “The Commitments”.”

There are a few things I believe in. Love is definitely the first, most important of all. It matters not really, what you love but the idea of loving something that is key. Of course my love of family comes to the forefront as I’ve told many times here and will again. Love of my life referring to a man? I’ll never tell…

Loving your circumstances, surroundings, way of life, all of that is individual and you may love it or hate it, but loving Life itself should be the most important in those lesser terms.  

Before this gets too maudlin, I truly believe in two things, Murphy’s Law or what goes around, comes around!😂

Good morning snow on this Columbus Day celebrated, not actual, which brings me to a point of contention.  Why are dates changed willynilly to afford a Monday-day-off?  I guess I’m old school, but changing traditional holidays to fit a work schedule irritates. 
It’s time to answer Ceenphotography.com‘s questions again, and I wish more people would participate so we get to know you better!  Thank you, Cee!  Here is a copy of her post today:

My answers are:

1.  The most perfect food for me in every respect is vegetables.  I absolutely love fruit also, but for my well being, veggies is the choice.  Comfort food I grew up with such as macaroni and cheese, beef stew, chicken and dumplings, all are delicious, but now it’s just me, I try to eat mostly vegetables, with an occasional frenchfry thrown in, but hey, potatoes are vegetables too!

2.  I usually focus on today, because I’m old!  Give me a break!  Seriously, the future for my children and grandchildren is of great concern to me, as are the people and planet we live on.

3.  I would interview John Hazelbaker who came to this country with the British to fight in the Revolutionary War.

This week I was inspired again, by my oldest son who never ceases to amaze me by the vast amount of knowledge he has.  We used to call him the walking encyclopedia.  He turned fifty this year; he is married to a wonderful woman and they have a five year old daughter.

This week I’m hoping the snow leaves and we have a few more autumn days.  However in the seventies it always snowed on Halloween dispelling the kids hopes of not having to cover their costume with a heavy coat.  All the work put into great costumes and then it would turn cold and snow on the big trick or treat night.

They knew they shouldn’t be in this part of the museum. Joe and Frank always loved seeking out places that were off the beaten path and sneaking into the back rooms of the museum was intriguing. The rest of the school tour was busy listening to the lecture from the curator on the latest acquisition, a mummy.  

Most of the children were oblivious to the history of Egypt and half heartedly lent an ear to the long winded authority. If the mummy wasn’t covered in old strips of linen chasing someone on Halloween night, they were disinterested.

Frank and Joe on the other hand, wanted to see the real thing instead of only the sarcophagus. Entering the back room with a posted sign, “Employees Only”, they found what they were looking for. It looked fairly innocent and they exchanged expressions of disappointment. Not to be deterred, they inspected it more closely. “This is fake! Joe laughed. “It’s only a plaster model!”

“Yeah” Frank replied, “what a ripoff!” The two boys tried lifting it up since it might be just a cover for a real mummy. The mold broke, crashed on the floor, revealing a plastic dummy. “Yeah, ripoff!” Joe answered.

They say “a rose by any other name would smell as sweet” Shakespeare knew what he was talking about!

A flower named Rose
Color, scent extraordinaire
Is simply divine

I was reading a post, looking at their entry for a photographic challenge and entered my response in the reply section. I clicked send and the words “saw this” were transformed into “swaths”. I don’t know who or what does the spell check feature but has anyone else noticed the words are changed into sometimes nonsense words or that they put words that are completely unrelated to the sentence you’re writing?  It seems superficial to me.  Is it a computer?  It had to be programmed by someone, right?  And whoever programmed it used a dictionary at some point?  Or is it programmed and maintained as a colossal joke on everyone?

So I’m asking you now–

What is the worst spell check that happened to you?

Please tell all in the comments below and I’ll post them on Wordless Wednesday! I’m a rebel😂
