Graeme, as is most often the case you have the ability to select excellent subject material for your posts. That, as a rule are of interest to most, if not all of our membership. Yup, you have done it once more. Now I will be hard pressed to choose between my Canadian Olympic swimmer(s) and McEvoy, should they race him in Rio. Well done (again) Sandrewn

It is a bit late, but I could not let it pass unsaid. Today is a special day we set aside to honor our Mothers. It maybe on a different day where you live, if so that day (date) is special to you as well. What ever you feel towards your own Mother, if it were not for her you would be here to read this. Some of yours may have passed on, I am lucky that mine was able to celebrate her 92nd on the 1st of May. Regardless, if I close my eyes, I can hear her voice clear as a bell over something I did as a child, those many years ago. So to all of our members who are one of these oh so special people in all of our lives. My Wish To Those You Who Are Mothers A Very Happy Mother's Day!!! Sandrewn

This man's work and achievements have provided me with many, many hours of learning through his fascinatingly visual TV docummentries. They make you want to watch. Had school been like this I would of excelled. As a new Nonagenarian, I hope he can carry on for a while yet. Wishing You Sir David A Very Happy Birthday!!! There are so many to choose from. From here (I like Sailfish) with a few clicks you can find and view as many as you want. http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/life/Atlantic_sailfish#p004y2th Sandrewn

You and I joined around the same time. I stayed quiet and you took off like a rocket. From the outset, you posted, reviewed and got involved with everything that was going on here. Then you joined the staff to help out even more. My hat is off to you, keep it up please. Finnish is supposed to be close to Hungarian, I don't think so. So I chickened out of giving you a Finnish Birthday Video. I must be going through my third childhood phase, but I like the one I chose for you. I just wanted to... Wish You Suvitar A Very Happy Birthday!!! Sandrewn

From the Summit you have reached, you can see what your tomorrows maybe, today. Congratulations, well deserved.

Author, Artist, Illustrator extraordinaire and to cap it all off an all around nice guy. You my friend add a lot to this site. Keep your bristles soft, your pencils sharp and keyboard handy. I do want to... Wish You Roberto Zuniga A Very Happy Birthday!!! Sandrewn

When I was his age, I, living in the city found my Guppies having babies was a fascinating event. This young man may well be another Steve Irwin in the making. Kudos to his parents for encouraging his efforts. Call the Midwife or Miller Wilson? Sandrewn Check out his (Miller Wilson) other vids - Bull Sharks, Eels/Catfish, Wild Rats.

Wowser, one of the Founding members of GA and a Signature Author to boot. I know it is wrong but GFD was one of the first stories I read on the internet. So when ever your name is mentioned, vampires always comes to mind, when in fact what you have done and continue to do is so much more for all of us. May your quill stay sharp and inkwell full. I really want to... Wish you Comicality A Very Happy Birthday! Sandrewn

I honestly don't have a problem with spiders, live and let live is my motto. BUT, having said that, if I was to have a similar port-a-potty experience, that might well change. Now the following people have a definite (big time) problem with our little friends, paranoid or what? 15 People Who Almost Killed Themselves Trying to Kill Spiders http://www.ranker.com/list/extreme-overreactions-to-spiders/jacob-shelton Disturbingly impressed Sandrewn

Thank you glitteryantlers for letting us know it was, International Guide Dog Day. Most people take little notice or even think or care about it. They will probably continue that way until they or someone they love or know, needs one. So hats off to all that make this possible. http://metro.co.uk/2016/04/27/international-guide-dogs-day-2016-5827258/ Dogs are not the only guide/service animals being used. I think if you look at the following, you will as I was, be impressed with the possibilities. A big thank you to all those who have made all this possible. Your work is a blessing to all those in need. http://www.petful.com/service-animal/trained-service-animals-guide-horses-helper-monkeys/ Sandrewn PS - While I was writing this post, glitterantlers posted her GD post. Rather than stop mine, I chose to compliment hers.

I just saw a picture of glitterantlers. It shows a sad muffin, but was served on her very favorite Grandmas Pink Flamingo Tray, that tells me it has to be great tasting. That made think of the following song. The words might be hard to understand if English is not your mother tongue. So I chose this version of the video so that all could enjoy it (hopefully) as much as I do. Sandrewn

I unintentionally caused a stir in a post yesterday. This one is sort of feel good theme, but I put here to not cause any more possible grief. Besides, I like cats and found this interesting. The Circle of Life Courtesy of Sparta In The Beginning In The End Sandrewn

Tomas - That song will forever come to mind, when each and every April 25th comes around, thank you. As Graeme said, it is for all vets, past and present and I sadly fear for those yet to come. Sandrewn

I just saw your pic from 14 Apr. It looks like a restaurant near the Jaffa district of Tel Aviv right next to the sea shore. It looks you had a MACCABEE or a GOLDSTAR there, I enjoyed both (many a time). I seem to have gotten off track here (ah, memories). So in keeping with the occasion, I want to... Wish You Carlos Hazday A Very Happy Birthday!!! Having seen your Poseidon, I leave you with this Sandrewn

Looking at the your weather map, unless you are in the south central area, you should be having a bright and sunny day. Where ever you are, I hope you are having a great day. Thank you for all of your PMs and I really do like your Grandma's pink flamingo tray. My friend, I don't know where you find your posting materials, but they are great, please keep it up. All the likes (676) should tell you how very much they and you as a member of GA are appreciated here. I could not find (yet) a Glitteryantlers BD video, maybe next year. Anyways, I just wanted to... Wish you Glitteryantlers A Very Happy Birthday!!! A point of interest? I don't know if you know or like the music of Queen and the late Freddie Mercury. They did a concert in Budapest (1986) and Freddie tried to show his appreciation to the audience. Sandrewn

And finally, one I can relate to and join in with, you go Guy, and make room for me! Sandrewn

Some Spiders are really good at it (dancing that is). Sandrewn

It's a jungle out there people, so watch your backs and be careful. It lends a new meaning to 'I live to dance' or should I say ' Dancing to stay alive' ? Sandrewn

EMI! You will read this when you wake up Tuesday morning. First off, look in the mirror and what do you see? I see a GA member of just over six months, an Author of stories and poetry with over a thousand (1000) LIKES- unstoppable. You are a manic poster with loads of friends here. You have a gallery with many great photos. English is not your first language which makes all of the above all that more amazing. So to sum it all up, don't think that being a Leapling would have made you special. Everything that you have accomplished here has shown anyone with eyes to see that you are a special person. I am glad to be included as one of your friends. Sandrewn Bill. That makes two of us (sighs). I did not like the video I found for 16, so I chose the one for 18 instead. Besides, I really liked George Burns. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3c-WBn5cCg Sandrewn I answered you on the other Leap Year Day thread. Sandrewn

I went to the bank to pay a bill, just so I could have an entry marked Feb 29-16. Then back to shoveling snow (with more snow expected tonight, oh joy). Sorry to hear that, but think positive. Is that just a little bit of a smile I see there? Sounds like a case of the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. Then when you get there (other side of the fence) you realize how well off you were before (back in school). Be happy Happy Leapling Day Sandrewn

To all our members ( Leaplings ) born on the 29th of February. Happy 5th up to 30th(?) Birthday to you.

That was a great video, I viewed it several times. I noticed the fingernails and I thought that you in turn might find this pictorial article colorful. http://www.viralmoon.net/view/creative-nail-art-vm-clone/?action=next&splopt=vip&page=1 B.T.W. This post should be my first as an Awesome member. Nagyon szepen koszonjuk Sandrewn

Just had a flash back! Fall of 75, mens mess in Ismailia Egypt, a Friday night happy hour. Ten or so of us and a couple of guitars and this song being belted out. Warren Zevon (Jan 24/47 - Sept 7/03) Sandrewn

I don't care the guy says, I will not, repeat not, try this myself! Sandrewn
