The R in the Month

Photos from Wikipedia

There 's a good girl!!

Oh,come on!!

You're a big boy now...

 When I think of the letter R,  I immediately  see before my mind's eye  a bottle of cod-liver oil!
Huh??
Yes, cod-liver oil!!

My mum used to say:" the R is in the month, which means, that you children, will get a spoonful of cod-liver oil every night before going to bed!". And so we had to swallow that nasty tasting stuff from September till May. My mum said it was healthy and protected us against all kind of diseases.
When my children were still very young, my doctor advised me to give them a similar medicine, which tasted a lot better because of the orange juice in it. And again as soon as the R was taking place in the winter months, I gave the children a spoonful of the stuff  and they didn't like it either. When April was over and May had begun, I stopped giving them this medicine!

If you take part in this game, please use the letter R in a photo, or in a poem, a story...whatever, and refer to the founder of this meme:Mrs. Denise Nesbitt and Roger who took over from her.Or show the logo of this meme in your post, or (like I do) in the sidebar.

I hope to see you all!

Q is for questions?

Were you aware of a comic book villain named the Riddler, whose garb always featured one or more question marks? Did you know that, on the campy 1960s TV show Batman, the Riddler, who was usually played by Frank Gorshin (pictured), was once played by John Astin?

Are you familiar with the song Question by the Moody Blues [LISTEN], which got up to #21 on the Billboard charts in 1970? Do you recognize Questions 67 And 68 by Chicago [LISTEN], ne the Chicago Transit Authority, which got only to #71 in 1969, but was re-released and went to #24 in 1971?

Should I introduce you to the group ? [question mark] and the Mysterians? Have you heard their hit, 96 Tears [LISTEN], which got up to #1 in 1966?

Did you know that when you enter your link onto that Linky thing at ABC Wednesday, one or more of our team will come to visit your post? Were you informed that you should check the Linky link to make sure it works with your post? Have you read in the rules that your post should both mention ABC Wednesday AND have an appropriate mention of the week's letter, such as Q is for Quotations?

Am I excited to see what quaint, quirky items you are going to share this week?

P is for PARDON MY PLANET

Today's cartoon struck a chord with me as I pondered the pandemonium going on in the world right now.  So much pain is caused by someone's religious beliefs, something that has gone on since the beginning of time.  It is "time to move on: religion has cost too much."  Take a look at this article online - it talks about how monotheism, in particular Christianity and Islam has caused so much violence.  You may not agree with it all, but it does make one ponder. I am a Christian, but don't go to church because I have to keep my personal beliefs in check.  I would end up arguing with the so-called leaders as they would consider me to be what they call a "pluralist."  From Wikipedia:

Religious pluralism is an attitude or policy regarding the diversity of religious belief systems co-existing in society. It can indicate one or more of the following:

• As the name of the worldview according to which one's religion is not the sole and exclusive source of truth, and thus the acknowledgement that at least some truths and true values exist in other religions.
• As acceptance of the concept that two or more religions with mutually exclusive truth claims are equally valid. This may be considered a form of either toleration (a concept that arose as a result of the European wars of religion) or moral relativism.
• The understanding that the exclusive claims of different religions turn out, upon closer examination, to be variations of universal truths that have been taught since time immemorial. This is called Perennialism (based on the concept of philosophia perennis) or Traditionalism.

• Can we not just live in peace with our fellow man?  Your thoughts?
