Anyway, that's honestly what I think and I have to wonder if anyone else thinks the same? Am I alone in this Shangers? If so, I will just withdraw as I can no longer abide this.

Morning all. Seems like a cold day coast to coast to coast, so a hot breakfast might be in order. Enjoy.

Every time I see your series of shut down posts Marc, I think the same thing. It is after all only 6:23 p.m our time and an hour earlier on the left coast, yet your posts seem to have the effect of shutting down the Shang as no one posts anything after them. It is barely suppertime for us. I think the posts do more damage here than the good you may think they might do by the constant repetition. I dunno for sure, but I am so very tired of the same old, same old, same old each night. No offence intended but really, do you think Jeanne cannot survive a night without this repetition? Surely not me, nor I bet Jeanne either.

Sorry you feel this way, Don. It is not my intent to "shut down" postings. Still, I say good night to everyone, which is my right. I also say a special good night to Jeanne, and lately to Leslie. I have spoken with both of them via email and directly asked if it upset them in any way being singled out for a special good night. Both have said that they felt comforted by this idea that someone was thinking of them, especially under the respective circumstances they are both experiencing.
So, I am hoping that Sonal is correct and feels like I do that I am just saying good night from where I am located.
Paix, mon ami.

If you liked the old TV show, Candid Camera, and want a morning chuckle, check out the woman in the mirror at SAP. I am still laughing.

Had an interesting moment at the dentist's office this morning. I was sitting waiting for my appointment when the receptionist asked me if I minded letting an emergency patient come before me. "No problem", I replied. The emergency was for a Royal Newfoundland Constabulary (RNC) officer, our police force, who had just lost a filling. When he came out and I was about to go in, he said, "Thank you for letting me jump the line ahead of you." "No problem", I again replied, and then I added, "thank you as well."
He asked why I was thanking him, and I said it was a general thank you for all of the RNC force, just for being there when we need them. We shook hands, smiled, and parted ways.
So, sometime today, tell someone out there that you are thankful for the jobs they do for all of us.
Paix, mes amis.

Had some sad news from one of my superintendents. She had to put her dog down this past weekend. (Cancer--he was 11 years old.)
Morning, Sonal. How is your cold today? Scrabble record improving any?
Sorry to hear that news. It is always hard to hear of a dog being put down, since it is never easy, regardless of the age.

Sonal, you might want to print this off and give it to your superintendent. It might help. Merci.
Rainbow Bridge
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Morning all:
Sonal, sorry to hear your news. Dog's [ as with most pets I think ] become members of the family.
Marc, I agree, it never hurts to say "thank you". I remember a time I got a speeding ticket. I was angry as I didn't think I deserved the ticket....everyone else, it appeared, was going the same speed as I but I got tagged. After getting the ticket I said "thanks, you were only trying to protect me from myself" And I said it sincerely.... the office was truly moved by this. Magically when I paid the fine it was lower and no points were deducted...... you think that was a "play it forward" moment... I thought so.
