    That's good for you but what about the rest of us?

    @Lon Tanner

    I think at the moment you seem to be a happy go lucky person, after reading your posts. No troubles, good food etc etc. Make the best of it, Lon . Life is short. Stay out of trouble, wear your mask when u need to and be happy.

    Remember the proverb, thousands of years old: "Bad Company Corrupts Good Morals" ?

    The happy go lucky care for nothing world is bad company. Few (if any at all) can be found with good morals.

    I have been looking at individual avatars on this forum and sometimes one reminds me
    of sometinng. For instanice there is one that reminds me of a captain of a ship, standing
    on the bridge, giving orders. I don't know what type of order but he is respectedand lends
    confidence to those around him.

    And there are others. I happened on this thread of Susan 's and read the threads and
    listened to some of the music and another avatar came to mind as I brushed my harmonica
    across my lips. I was going to post that individual's avatar but decided against it, but that
    avatar would be appropriate. Anyway that avatar reminds me of a song that I've heard over
    the year, a song I like, and many have sang the song over the years, but here's one from the
    front porch. I don't know the singers.

    Jeff,
    Most often I have seen good morals, good company, can make some "turn over a new leaf"!

    Bill,
    You are not at all imposing on my thread. I do appreciate it, that you take the time to go through my threads and music.
    About the appropriate avatar you have in mind for me, now what may that be.? I am sure you have a nice one in mind. Though,
    for the moment, I would prefer not to have one. Thank you.

    Yes, this is true, in line with the other proverbs as well.

    Note that good company is not always , maybe hardly ever, possible to find,

    yet yes, when people give up, renounce bad company, and stick with good company, they are blessed and may well turn over a new leaf,
    AND it shows in their lives ... they become (if they endure) , good company also.

    Oh, just noticed: you said "can make some" ... I think rather it permits, or allows some, to turn over a new leaf - they still have a choice, and most people go back to bad company after some time whether short or long.

    @Susan Paynter, Sorry, no I didn't have one for you, assuming if you wanted one you'd already have it, but sometime I stay off line and read
    threads while I play my harmonica. I play the harmonica to exercise my diaphragm and my lungs in an effort to breathe better. When I see
    a music video I generally listen and if I like it I try to play some of it. Sometime a post on a thread will remind me of a song and I look it up on
    line and play some background or some fill. I have no agenda or preconceived notions about any members. Just hanging out.
