Introduction


"But I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall render an account for it in the day of judgment." - Matthew 12:36

I shall try to keep these words in mind as I post.

What is the purpose of this blog?
Edification, Inspiration, Amusement. (Not necessarily in that order, as the saying goes.)

It should also serve as an aide-memoire for me! Somewhere for me to share, and be able to find again, edifying, inspiring, and amusing quotes, so that I don't have to keep racking my brains so much to remember where I read something and who said it. I've a fair bit of catching up to do on that score.

So, I'll be saying stuff here periodically, as and when. And I'll try to keep idle words to a minimum. If I concentrate on mainly sharing things brighter minds than I have said, I should be ok!

    I forget where I've read things all the time. It's so annoying!

      You think you've got problems, Sunshine! Most of the time I even forget THAT I've read things.

      What a pleasure to bump into you again. I suppose we'll meet a few familiar personages again in Clare's friendly company.

      Regards,
      Uncle Odd.

      (Woohoo! It seems that I've found out how to do something around here)

    Sounds a bit dreary, old girl. I think you should stick to what you do best... give us all something to think about.

    Ole Wilson must be running a bit short of Roo and Devil Juice by now... might be a good opportunity to get the drop on him.

    Hi Dave, Clare, Sunny, and all the ex-Ignis Ardens "Alumns"!
    Yes, the Roo-brew is running low and we're all out of Tasmanian Devil Juice,
    which means my posts will probably be less coherent than usual!.

      Hello Mike! Now, what is Roo-brew?

      You have to ask oldavid to explain it to you; but apparently you take a keg of beer and you leave in the sun for a week and then you store in a cool place for a year and then something else. I will definitely have to try it when I go visit Dave in Australia (which will probably never happen;ha!).

      Hello Pearl. I don't know about smilies in comments I'm afraid.

    Y' dear ole diminutive, blond, Pommy, mother of ordinarily worrisome children,

    Is it acceptable for known un-genteel antipodeans to make flippant comments that might be intended to provoke further comments from other more genteel respondents?

    Anyhow, next time I might give a serve to the mushies... but I can't do without my Bacci.

    Odd.

      Of course it's ever-so-nice of Your Majesty to not dis-endorse the antipodean strange one.

      But I still don't like mushies.... particularly the Yanky kind.

    It's harder to put a comment on here than it is to pull the leg of the taxman.

    I much admire Your Majesty's tenacity.

    I can't reconcile this Bacci stuff with "The Resistance";... can you?

      It's difficult to reconcile it with a lot of stuff Catholics say and do!

    Shall we have a forum to discuss things on Clare?

    I've settled for the name, Faith & Fidelity.
    Now to put up a few topics. Feel free .

    G'day again, Clare. Long time no see. Glad you're still going. I still can't do without my Bacci; but ole Chesterton is a more fun way to get a good slap.

    Now, where would one find Faith and Fidelity?
