I like such people. Because they provide me with material for my humourous articles. It's the same with real life, I find. At work or at parties and so on. People are in cliques and they feel superior to others not in the group.<br /><br />I find it's the same with me on the bus. When I sit there eating pickled onions and drinking beer people tend to avoid me and not sit near me. Just because I don't drink champagne there's no reason to avoid me!<br /><br />Keep smiling, Amelia. And pray for these people; they need it. God bless always.Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-9432469650050487352020-08-31T13:55:01.505-07:002020-08-31T13:55:01.505-07:00Very, very good message here Victor. Loved the To...Very, very good message here Victor. Loved the Tony Curtis and Gary Cooper parts, two of my favorite actors, some people thought my dad resembled Tony Curtis in some ways.<br /><br />It's very true, we can represent Christ in our blog writing and also in our behavior, one thing that really grieves me many times are cliques in blogging! I'll go to a page and it's the same dozen of women over and over at one blog, I'll try to reach out to them and usually not much in return. (Like a bunch of magpies) Ugh. To me? That is so un-Christlike since they will know we are Christians by our love, like the song. Oh well, I learned a long time ago... Some people are Christians and some people are just churchies, wanting to be part of something. <br /><br />Well Victor, I sure can't say you are cliquish. You reach out to everyone and I do know it's appreciated and the Father must smile. I think your blog is a very good example for the of what Jesus wants us to be in reaching out to others sincerely. Yep, the proof is in the puddin' as we say down south! : )<br /><br />Blessings!

One starts silently for the first few seconds making you think you've lost the sound. Another starts in black and white and then changes to colour. Another at the end, the last few seconds, has the sound of a phone ringing. The phone sound has nothing to do with the advert which has singing, like you say. But when you hear the sound you think it is your phone, or cell phone. You realise it is not, yet you notice the advert. I've been caught several times thinking our house phone is ringing.<br /><br />God bless, Mevely.

Yes, apart from being a moron; we ...Dearest Victor,<br />Yes, apart from being a moron; we got plenty of those nowadays!<br />Social media is mainly used for self exposure in a very ego centered way; bombarded with selfies! That's for sure no way to influence.<br />When I grew up and was made to represent Mom & Dad for attending a reception for the 40th or 50th wedding anniversary of one of Dad's uncles, I got told: 'Represent us well and don't tarnish our family name in any way!' That's what you went for, not for showing yourself, but representing the FAMILY. A far cry from selfies... and me-me-me attention.<br />That's also how we all got taught early on as a Christian child. Guess it will stick with us till our death and I'm proud of it.<br />As far as styles, I've never ever tried to be someone else. Just being happy with what I got and trying to take good care of that.<br />Hugs,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-82072674264088099072020-08-31T06:08:54.236-07:002020-08-31T06:08:54.236-07:00Love the funny.
