Friday Fill-ins

1. If you _take time to smell the roses, you’ll be surprise at how fast the stress in your life disappears_.
2. _When I’m happy I sometimes start_ singing la la la
3. I have to ask you _did you vote_.
4. _I don’t have any_ vices; _but I have a number of bad_ habits.
5. I didn't have time _to call you_.
6. _Lobster_ is something I love beyond all reason.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to _watching a movie on Netflix_, tomorrow my plans include _going to an intimate dinner with 600 people_ and Sunday, I want to _recover from Saturday night_!

Yup, I voted! Even though I didn't get a sticker and I couldn't take a picture, I voted and I am happy with the outcome!!! lol have fun at that intimate dinner! btw...I changed some things over on the Fill-Ins...here's the blurb I'm leaving for folks who play:

Thanks for participating in the Friday Fill-Ins :-) I've changed how it's to be played a bit, because it seems spammers are using the Fill-Ins to attract people to their blogs and try to sell products. From now on, I will personally be checking each blog to make sure the Fill-In post is at the top! If it's not, the person's URL will be deleted from Mr. Linky and noted as Spam. Just wanted to let you know!

Oh yes, I voted. I wasn't pleased with the outcome and I wasn't surprised but I will certainly support our President.

Your intimate dinner with 600 truly made me laugh out loud! Have a great time!

You can have all the lobster. I won't fight anyone for that. The only shellfish I like is shrimp. Hope you have a great weekend!!

Quotes

Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.

Morality cannot be legislated, but behavior can be regulated. Judicial decrees may not change the heart, but they can restrain the heartless.

A right delayed is a right denied.Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction.

Martin Luther King Jr.

No one is born hating another person… People must learn to hate and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.
Nelson Mandela

We can disagree and still love each other, unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist
James Baldwin

There is a fine line between free speech and hate speech. Free speech encourages debate whereas hate speech incites violence.
Newton Lee

The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything.
Albert Einstein

"The point is that there are always obstacles, whether they seem insurmountable or merely bothersome. The question is not how difficult the path, but whether in your heart, you wish to undertake the journey."
Zandru's Forge

Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive because your words become your behavior. Keep your behavior positive because your behavior becomes your habits. Keep your habits positive because your habits become your values. Keep your values positive because your values become your destiny.
Mahatma Gandhi

“I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...
― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

You've Got To Be Carefully Taught
You've got to be taught
To hate
And fear
You've got to be taught
From year
To year
Its got to
Be drummed in your dear little ear
You've got to
Be carefully
Taught
You've got to be taught
To be
Afraid
Of people
Who's eyes are oddly made
And people who's skin is a different shade
