Quote of the Day 2008-05-20 21:10:18 “The best six doctors anywhere
And no one can deny it
Are sunshine, water, rest, and air
Exercise and diet.
These six will gladly you attend
If only you are willing
Your mind they’ll ease
Your will they’ll mend
And charge you not a shilling.”

Two Life Paths 2008-06-01 12:36:40 “Two roads diverged in a yellow wood
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as a far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth.
Then took the other as just as fair
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear
Though as for that, [...] Read more:Paths
