SEP 26, 25.. GULLIBLE.. LOVE NOTES.. PANCAKES..
GULLIBLE..
The day before yesterday, SEP 24, 25, we published a Post about Punctuation.
Gullible left us the below two “priceless comments”.
They are far too priceless to be left buried in the comments of a two day old Post that may never be read!

A Gullible original:
;
Behold the mighty semicolon,
Undaunted, audacious hieroglyphic symbol,
Thy name implies a power halved—
Neither period stop nor comma pause,
But something in between
And rarely understood.
Power halved?
Ah, thy power to strike fear in the heart
of one who dares employ thee
Ranks first amongst thy kindred marks.
Generations fear thee;
generations avoid thee.
Behold the mighty semicolon!
Once upon the slippery slope,
falling inexorably into dis-use,
Rather than mis-use.
Fear not, oh semicolon.
Now is thy time upon the stage.
Thou will not disappear into obscurity,
But live in perpetuity
As a sly and winking emoticon.

Not a Gullible original:
An English professor wrote the words:
“A woman without her man is nothing” and asked the students to punctuate it correctly.
All of the males in class wrote:
A woman, without her man, is nothing.”
All of the women in class wrote:
“A woman: without her, man is nothing.”
Punctuation is powerful!!
Thanks so very much Gullible!!

The below NATIONAL TODAY Holiday was a “no brainer” for both Patti and me because we two actually do write love notes to one another far more often than only one day a year!
LOVE NOTES..
Love Note Day is celebrated on September 26 every year.
It is the one day where you get to channel your inner Victorian lover and send warm, heartfelt love notes to your partner! It doesn’t have to be National Boyfriend or Girlfriend Day or even Valentine’s Day to make someone you love feel special.
You can dedicate this day to your pets, your friends, your parents, and even yourself! We all deserve to feel loved.
It is a chance to convey your deepest emotions by writing down how much they mean to you and sending it to your lover in a scented envelope or an email. If you are not usually the wordy romantic type, then take this day as an opportunity to be a little cheesy. Even a plain “I love you” can make your partner feel happy and loved.
Writing love letters raises your serotonin levels which makes YOU happy.
