I realize I'm still being exclusionary but that was the best I could come up with....

It's been pretty much raining all weekend so we went to the movies tonight.

Re Memorial Day

Hope everyone is having a nice long weekend.

Sadly we have more and more to memorialize each and every day. So I would just remind everyone (including myself) to continue praying or sending good thoughts etc.- whatever you feel is right- to not only the men and women in harms way in Iraq but everywhere.

And to their families as well....

Peace and joy to all.

Peace

Thanks anoasis! Prayers for all military members past and present this Memorial Day.

Peace would be nice. I always wonder why so many religions advocate love and yet ultimately engage in or precipitate war...

Yes it is seemingly all we can do. I will go to a remembrance tomorrow- I have been to several vigils but there is a nice one on the beach with all the names of the soldiers from the current war...

The button was stuck so this ended up double posting!!!

But now that we can edit I just changed it....

We now return to our regularly scheduled programming....

A coffeehouse? For Human Beings?


Ahhhhhh, now this feels like a comfy place ... as close to a label-free zone as I've been able to find ...


Thank you anoasis ... I think I'll pull up the cushy chair in the corner and settle in with an iced tea and an interesting book ...

Would you care for cream or sugar or just black? I have plenty of cuban coffee as well....

Of course! It's very nice on the terrace tonight.... the mango iced tea is very a local favorite.

When is Canada's memorial day? Do they have one?

We remember our fallen and honour those who have served on Remembrance Day ... Novemeber 11

We did just have a long weekend this past weekend... Victoria Day ... a remnant of the commonwealth and the birth of Queen Victoria.

That mango iced tea sounds perfect. Thank you!

Ahhh yes.... we still honor Nov. 11 as Veterens Day. Memorial Day (tomorrow) is for those who died.

And what a good idea- why lose a holiday just because you are no longer under that system of government...

Enjoy your tea and book.

The rumor that I am an alien is a gross exaggeration. I am a light being having a human experience. I hope that counts.

Just like the rest of us ...

Ah....I like the sound of this place. I am human and I enjoy being. But I don't like coffee, so maybe it's not the right place for me.

Hey - I'll post here. I even have a story. There's an old guy comes into my work. We donate bread, bagels and cakes to various organization. This 'ol guy collects for the veterans association. He's a WWI vet, yea old. I have to put take his stuff out and get it in the car for him. He brings us all lollipops and ALWAYS remebers to ask me about school. We compared our tatoos last summer.

Anyway, he was part of a group that got to go to Washington about a week ago. He told me about it, how few WWI vets there were and how proud he was to be there, and when he told be his eyes filled with tears and we hugged.

That 'ol guy still serves his country, oddly he brings food to a few needy veterans, while our countries past and present politicians have annual pensions fare exceeding a life time of social security benefits.

enjoy your day off tomorrow.

Thanks for this thread, we are all human, after all.

Stick around! Anoasis whips up a mean mango iced tea. Being half Cuban it is a requirement that I love mangoes and papaya.

Ahhhhhh, a place where there is not yet any hatred. I sincerely hope it stays that way. Good job anoasis! Nite everyone!

an Oasis filled with coffee...for humans....






sounds like home
