@Sadteen my favorite movie is Saving Private Ryan...What many people don't realize about that movie is that it is based on actual events including the letter that Abraham Lincoln wrote to Mrs. Bixby in Boston who lost 5 sons in the Civil War...There is a copy of that letter in The Bicentennial Family Bible that was published in 1974 and 75 I believe...My mom still has that family Bible today...I also love the movie The Count Of Monte Cristo starring Jim Caviezel and Guy Pearce and Richard Harris... Have a great day...Take care and GOD bless... ... View more

Good Wednesday afternoon dear friend...Let's see if this will put a smile on your face...  A retired man now volunteers to entertain assisted living and hospital patients. He visited one hospital in Brooklyn and brought along his portable keyboard. After telling jokes and singing songs at patients’ bedsides, he said farewell and said, “I hope you get better.” One elderly gentleman replied, “I hope you get better, too.” have a blessed day...Take care and GOD bless... ...

@Sadteen thank you friend for such kind words...And to answer you're question @Sadteen I have been inspired by many in my life...But I will name a few that have been a huge inspiration for me in my life...To name the very first is of course my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ...It is not popular to say that today and in some countries it would even cost you your life to confess that...But GOD has saved me from suicide, and several other times in my life from a certain death...Then of course my mom, she has been through a living hell in her life but she has always held her head up and kept everything including our family together...I would then have to mention my very good friend and mentor Howard Collar (who is no longer with us) he taught me most of all that I know about logging and felling trees...He logged well into his seventies until cancer crept in and took him...My two uncles on my mom's side Eddie and Jr. are real blessings to have as uncles, when growing up on my grandparents' dairy farm we three shared a bedroom that was filled with laughs and lots of unwanted smelly air (if you get my meaning) lol...My Granddad my mom's dad, he worked from sunup until sundown seven days a week, and even past sundown many times...His work ethic has greatly inspired me...Then I would have to mention my Drill Seargents when I was in Army Basic Training, Drill Seargent Holiday, Drill Seargent Uribe, Drill Seargent Thompson, Drill Seargent Miller, and Drill Seargent Ward...They taught me a lot by going above and beyond one's capabilities...Last I would have to mention the Bible (KJV) also inspires me to try and be a better person and more tolerant as well as forgiving... Have a blessed night...Take care and GOD bless... ... View more

@Sadteen & @Chloelynn thank you for the friendly response...You just being yourself some will love you for who you are and some will not...But just know that you being you makes all the difference in the world...Especially in you're world where others know you and love you...Everyone else will just have to miss out on having some good in their life...

@Sadteen If you have lived long enough in this life you will find out that no matter what you do or say there will always be those who will not like you no matter what...Even if you like them that is just how everyday life is...The best thing you and I can do friend is like and love ourselves...You can't go wrong by doing that...I have gone out of my way for some people I have encountered in my life and it never made a difference on how they felt towards me...That is just how life goes sometimes...Do I regret doing that??? No...Because in the end I still did what I would normally do...Help someone who needed help at the time... Have a blessed night...Take care and GOD bless... ... View more

Good Wednesday morning friend...Today we will see what weird yet true facts about the second state in our Nation...  Pennsylvania... 1). Pennsylvania became the second state to ratify the U.S. Constitution on December 12, 1787. William Penn founded it as a haven for Quakers, and its capital, Philadelphia, played a significant role in the American Revolution. 2). Pennsylvania's motto is Virtue, Liberty, and Independence  With God, All Things Are Possible... 3). The Keystone State is one of Pennsylvania's nicknames...Keystone is an architectural term that refers to the stone in the center of an arch. Without that piece, the whole arch would fall apart. The name is used to refer to Pennsylvania because it was an important state in the founding of the United States. It was important politically, geographically, and economically. The keystone is also the Pennsylvania state symbol. 4). The history of Pennsylvania stems back thousands of years when the first indigenous peoples occupied the area of what is now Pennsylvania. In 1681, Pennsylvania became an English colony when William Penn received a royal deed from King Charles II of England. Although European activity in the region precedes that date (the area was first colonized by the Dutch in 1643). The area was home to the Lenape, Susquehannocks, Iroquois, Erie, Shawnee, Arandiqiouia, and other American Indian tribes. Most of these tribes were driven off or reduced to remnants as a result of diseases, such as smallpox. The English took control of the colony in 1667. In 1681, William Penn, a Quaker, established a colony based on religious tolerance; it was settled by many Quakers along with Philadelphia, its largest city, which was also the first planned city. In the mid-1700s, the colony attracted many German and Scots-Irish immigrants. While each of the Thirteen Colonies contributed to the American Revolution, Pennsylvania, and especially Philadelphia was a center for the early planning and ultimately the formation of rebellion against King George III  and the British empire, which was then the most powerful political and military empire in the world. Philadelphia served as the nation's capital for much of the 18th century. During the 19th century, Pennsylvania grew its northwestern, northeastern, and southwestern borders, and Pittsburgh emerged as one of the nation's largest and most prominent cities for some time. The state played an important role in the Union's victory in the American Civil War. Following the Civil War, Pennsylvania grew into a Republican stronghold politically and a major manufacturing and transportation center. During the 20th century, after the Great Depression of the 1930s and World War II  in the 1940s, Pennsylvania moved towards the service and financial industries economically and became a swing state politically. 5). "We have a famous Groundhog". Gobbler’s Knob in Punxsutawney is home to a four-legged meteorological celebrity. Punxsutawney Phil is famed for his ability to block sunlight, and then either observe or not observe the shadow which he may or may not be casting, to predict the end of winter. For some reason, this has become an enormous, nationwide prediction tradition. 6). The first public zoo in the US was the Philadelphia Zoo. The zoo opened on July 1st, 1874. It was signed into existence on March 21st, 1859, and it was supposed to open sooner, but it was delayed because of the Civil War. The first chimpanzees and the first orangutans born in the United States were born at this zoo. 7). Have you ever wanted to visit George Washington’s hair? How about Thomas Jefferson and Napoleon Bonaparte? Of course, we all have! But only in Pennsylvania could your dead famous people's hair dreams come true. Specifically, the collection of Peter A. Browne’s on display at the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University in Philadelphia had those very pieces on display until March 24. 8). The name Pennsylvania comes from Latin "Penn" comes from William Penn, who founded the colony. He wanted to name it after his father. The second half, "Sylvania," is the Latin word for wood. In Latin, the name Pennsylvania translates to "Penn's Woods". 9). The Philly Cheesesteak was made in Philadelphia in the 1930s by two brothers who ran a hot dog stand. There are also famous handmade pretzels that German settlers brought over. Whoopie pies were also created in Pennsylvania by Amish women. 10). The chocolate capital of the US is in Pennsylvania. A fun fact about Pennsylvania is that the chocolate capital of the US is located within the state. It is in Hershey, Pennsylvania, which is where the headquarters for the Hershey Company and their chocolate factory is located. Hershey is well known for its chocolate products like Hershey Kisses, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, and Kit Kats. The town also has an amusement park and a museum dedicated to chocolate. You can find their chocolate everywhere in grocery stores, gas stations, or candy stores. 11). The first American piano was built here. It was designed and built in Philadelphia by Charles Albrecht in 1789. It was a Square Grand piano, and it sparked the popularity of the piano in the United States. 12). The Crayola headquarters is in Lehigh Valley, PA. Over three billion crayons are made in Pennsylvania every year. Along with the crayon factory, there is a Crayola Experience, which has activities for families. 13). Pennsylvania is bordered by six states and one lake. Lake Erie borders the northeastern part of the state. From Lake Erie going clockwise, the states that border Pennsylvania are New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia, and Ohio. 14). Independence Hall in Philadelphia was built in 1732. Independence Hall is an important landmark in North America and was originally called the Pennsylvania State House. One of the interesting facts about Pennsylvania's history is the importance the hall has, as it is considered the birthplace of the country. The Declaration of Independence was adopted here, and the Constitution of the United States was drafted and signed here. All thirteen colonies were represented at that time except Rhode Island. 15). The Liberty Bell is here. The bell used to be in the tower at the Pennsylvania State House but is now across the street in the Liberty Bell Center. The bell first cracked on its first test ring and was recast twice during its early years. The timing or reasoning behind the current, well-known crack is unknown. It likely cracked in the 1840s, and they tried to repair it in 1846. However, the repair did not work, and it now stands as a cracked and silent monument to US independence.
