in the end we are all descendants of adam and steve
nice pics!
Thank you 
Ok, there goes my theory. lol.
Yes. Thatâs how things were done in Malaysia 40 years ago. Itâs better there, now.
Nice!
Deviant.
I used to go there quite a bit but every day the ancestorial line forked off and I began to find things I wished I had never learned about my ancestors.
You canât change the past, only learn from it and be better than they were.
My zucchini plants are doing well.
And the peas.
The pepper plants are coming along.
The basil is getting out of hand.

Excellent advice but unattainable goal. I do hope you enjoy researching your ancestors.
Beautiful garden.
You donât think you can be better? Why not?
Thank you
I took Hollyâs advice. I went to my cousinâs wedding. It was fun. She went to my wedding 7 years ago almost now and gave $0 as a gift. I just gave her $100 for 2 people, which I think is very low. I usually give $200. It was still better than $0 and if you live eye for an eye, you donât improve anything. Why would I want to let a cheap person turn me into one?

Thatâs awesome of you.
How can we make our world a better place if we donât try to be better?
Hubby and I went out to dinner once, celebrating paying off one of his student loans and the birth of our son.
A couple a few tables over were attempting to have a nice quiet meal too.
The baby was a bit fussy and we tried to calm him down.
The lady came over and struck up a conversation with us. When we explained we were out celebrating and why, she was touched.
Their last child had gone off to college and they were out celebrating being empty nesters.
When we went to get our check, which never arrived, we found out that the couple paid for our dinner.
Three or four times a year, I try to pay for someoneâs meal. Usually a couple like we were. One year, there was a young navy couple. I asked the seating hostess to remain anonymous, and paid for their meal. The young lady was in tears, the man looked offended.
If has been great fun surprising people.
I think there was a movie about a child trying to do three good things to three people, and have them do three good things, etc. etcâŚ
I strongly encourage anyone to do a good deed, anonymously or not, your choice.

Wedding gifts depend entirely on the couple to me. When I got married, I explicitly asked guests to not give presents. I didnât need anything (including money) and didnât want to throw their gift away and then send them an insincere card about how much I appreciated it as it sat in the nearest dumpster. Iâm grateful all of my friends respected my wishes.
A young couple just starting out clearly needs money and I can see them getting nice gifts. By the time theyâre 30, Iâm not sure a large cash gift makes sense anymore. It also depends hugely on the financial situation of the giver. If youâre invited but youâre broke, you shouldnât skip rent to give a gift.
Anyway, itâs nice of you. Iâm just not as concerned about gift giving at weddings.
Because it appears they were lifelong servants of the Most High God and while I am a believer, I do not actively attend church anymore. (faith without worksâŚ) I am more of an occasional spectator.
You wouldnât. Giving is a great way to demonstrate that you are not a cheap person. I donât know why you would even attend a cheap persons wedding.
Dusty and I simply didnât invite anyone to our wedding, except our boss and two poor witnesses.
I got my new windshield. So clear.
