I talk to him when I’m lonesome like; and I’m sure he understands.  When he looks at me so attentively, and gently licks my hands; then he rubs his nose on my tailored clothes, but I never say naught thereat.  For the good Lord knows I can buy more clothes, but never a friend like that.  ~W.

Oprah’s new network “OWN” has a show called Master Class, this one featuring Diane Sawyer.  Diane quoted a few quotes that I want to remember, so I am sharing them with you.  The first was said to Diane in regards to relationships, with no credit given to the originator, “A criticism is just a really bad way of making a request.”  So way not just make the request.

Talking further about her relationship with her husband, laughing is sustaining, Napoleon said “woman laughing is a woman conquered.”
