Good Morning Everyone!!
Quote of the day :
“My father always said to ‘Stay in there and pitch!’ There are times in our lives when it would be so easy to quit, but persistence is the only way to achieve success.”
Joke of the Day:
Q: Why did Billy take a ruler to bed with him?
A: – to see how long he slept.
Thought of the day : Finish what you start
“Don’t do nothing halfway, else you find yourself dropping more than can be picked up.” – Louis Armstrong
Do you finish what you start? Or do you begin with a bang and fizzle out at the end? It’s hard to do a job or project all the way through. It’s easier to come up with excuses like “I don’t understand,” “I’m bored,” or “I don’t have enough time.” But these are only excuses, and you still have a job to do – only now it will take you longer.
Today….finish what you start.
Question of the day :
What is the next letter in the following series?
A C F H K M ___
Yesterday’s answer :
Mom, Dad, and Sis are palindromes — words that read the same both forward and backward. Bro is not a palindrome. If you read it backwards, it’s “orb.”
Extra challenge answer:Mr. Smith could be named Bob; Mrs. Smith could be named Eve or Nan. All those names are palindromes.
Word of the day:
sobriquet (noun)
NicknameBeing a large man with a big appetite, he went by the sobriquet “The Fridge”.
