Thought for the day...

Already celebrated New Year with my daughter in the Republic of Georgia via Skype a few hours ago. They were big on fireworks in Tbilisi raucously bringing in the New Year while confined by the chinese death flu. Seemed like everyone was firing off rockets from their rooftops.

‘Panic’ in Depoe Bay after tsunami sirens activated to warn of high winds
A visitor, Leah Godfrey, said she sprinted to her car after hearing the sirens sound. “Please reserve the doomsday siren for actual doomsday,” she wrote on Facebook.

What ever happened to giving credit to an author when you copy and adapt their material?
Anyone reading this article in USA today would get the idea that Norman Lear was the creator of the show, when it was in fact Johhny Speight in the UK in 1965, called "Till Death Us Do Part".
Same roles, in many cases the same script, same issues race, religion, politics. it was adapted and ran in many countries
The US show quite often showed identical versions with practically no script change, just adapted for US audience..
No credit given to J.Speight

3. The man at the BBQ Grill is the closest thing to a king.
4. In a negotiation, never take the first offer.

10. Always protect your siblings. #Important
11. Don’t let a wishbone grow where a backbone should be.
12. If you need music on the beach, you’re missing the point.
13. Carry two handkerchiefs. The one in your back pocket is for you. The one in your breast pocket is for her.
14. You marry the girl, you marry her family.

I like #23, that made me laugh.
Never put it in writing and you can deny it ever happened...
If only someone had told me the importance of the mint...#17 always worked for me after #18.
