In response to "Keep on trying."

I hear you! I do my best to do things well enough and I keep at them, but I'm not going to kill myself because if keeping at something useless, the effort I put in is useless. When I realize that I quit.
I admire what you did with the fish pond and it made me smile. And to think that you did it in one day! Wow!

In response to "Capital punishment "

The bible also says “turn the other cheek”. ( It’s full of contradictory stuff!)
It’s a complex question & I’m not sure how I feel about the death penalty.

In response to "Texting "

I think texting is detrimental to our communication skills because so many people use emoticons and abbreviations that when it comes to actual conversations they've forgotten how to use words. It drives me crazy when my granddaughters are texting while we're trying to have an actual conversation. I've said on more than one occasion what is it going to take to have your undivided attention. In my home, cell phones are shut off between 5:00-7:00 for family interaction time.

In response to "Blessings "

Excellent point! I have to take time out now and then just to say to myself, you have nothing to complain about when compared to others. I have a small medical condition but not life threatening. I am 79, see good, hear good, walk good - no complaints I say. So we do need to remind ourselves how good we have it.

I guess as you get older it comes before us more, like for Willie Nelson in his 90s. Age is a big factor. But, since we have no real control on age, we all age, we must make the best of it.

Blessings to you, and thanks for reminding me how go I have it!

Laurel and Hardy

Prompt: "Fine Mess"
Oliver Hardy often said to Stan Laurel in several Laurel and Hardy films, "This is another fine mess you've gotten us into." What is your definition of a fine mess and what kind of images does the word mess bring into your mind?

I remember Laurel and Hardy from when I was very young. Their films would often play at our local cinema.
I’ve seen little pieces of their classic scenes pop up on Facebook occasionally, and as they say, you’d have to be dead not to raise a laugh, or at least a smile.

I believe I’ve been known to use the term,’fine mess,’ on a few occasions in my life, and have been in a fine mess myself on more than one. It’s usually been when someone starts out with good intentions and things go awry.

We have a family member who currently has got herself into a fine mess and it’s hard at the moment to see how she’s going to get out of it.

All sorts of people, even those who should no better, such as politicians find themselves there too. It’s usually drugs, greed, or an old fashioned sex scandal one those occasions. They often lose everything they worked for because of one stupid mistake and find themselves in hot water. Or in those cases a ‘fine old mess.’
