Today's Tids Issue 4.588
Don't fight it:
It seems the melodies
on this day of hearts,
Have a way of creeping into my very soul.
To touch, inspire those precious parts.
To feel it inside, the love that others hold.
A day to exult in that emotional release,
That comes like a symphonic triumph, or;
A simple tune that brings a smile of peace.
For love on this rhapsodic day, ten plus four.
Isn’t of symbols, material things to display.
It is of honesty, of longings deep and true.
It is inward, a unique sense points the way,
Pure love, is quiet, giving, known by two.
One of the great things
about today February the fourteenth is that it just missed being Friday the Thirteenth.
Today we have to pause
a moment to remember those young hearts that stopped beating this day in 2018 at
the Marjory Stoneman Douglas School, and the hearts so full of love left
behind, broken forever in an instant.
Irony: Drawing trees on
paper.
The Question:
What percentage of millennials choose Valentine’s
Day to pop the question? Get engaged? Do people still say “Pop the Question”? Bonus:
What happened in Chicago on this day in 1929?

I don’t want to scare anybody
on this loving day, but yesterday the US Household debt crept over $14 Trillion.
That’s Trillion with a capital “T”. It isn’t really all bad, it just soundsa-na
ominous. The largest chunk by far is the Home Mortgage, which is generally offset
by solid equity. Household average Mortgage is $213 700. The next highest debt,
which is precarious, is Student loans, now at about $36,500 per. The rest are
Auto - $10.1K; Credit Card $5.8K and Personal Loans - $7.2K. BTW, the $14 Trill
is an all-time record. But love will get us through, right? Even though many home
values are inflated, and rents have climbed to over 30% of average incomes.
Financial squeeze
is not as comforting as a Valentine’s Day squeeze.
This country is nutty.
Now you have Dems and Repubs pointing to each other saying, Nancy’s demeaning
of America was worse than Trump’s, (And vice versa) …Nana, na-na na-na-na …! recess
is over Kids.
Context:
A message sent by a prison inmate.
Are they playing more beautiful
music this morning, or is it me looking for beauty in everything I see?
It is one of those frigid days around
here,
but the fever from pounding hearts will keep us warm, just in case you forgot the
theme of the day.
The most ludicrous news
of all is about what celebrities do to other celebrities on Twitter.
Synonym:
A word you can use when you can’t spell the word you prefer.
Reading Between the Lines Movie Reviews:
--Regardless of whether or not it is good, kids will
probably love Sonic the Hedgehog.
--Downhill is an American remake of a serious Danish
dark comedy, where the new US version stars are comedians Will Ferrell and Julia
Dreyfuss, in supposed dramatic roles. And avalanche roars down a hillside
toward the lodge at an Alpine ski area. Hubby Will grabs his cellphone and runs
while wife Julia and puts arms around kids and watches, terrified at fast approaching
death. The rest of the films is about the wrath of Julia against scardy-cat
Hubby, and which partner the kids respect, leading to a disappointing a cornball
ending. Critics don’t like it. people hate it.
—There’s not a chance of my ever going to see The Photograph.
It is about a young woman mourning her mom who died much too early. She finds a
photo that sets her investigating only to find a beautiful love.
--People like Portrait of a Lady on Fire. It’s about
a woman hired to paint a wedding portrait of a bride to be, a woman who just left
the convent, The ex-nun observes the artist from afar and the two gorw close together
and fall in love. Well-acted.

The Answer:
$43% of Millennials say that they save February
Fourteenth to say “Will you marry me?” Bonus. On this day in Chicago in
1929 in a garage, Al Capone disengaged from life seven of his rivals in the “Valentine’s
Day Massacre.” How sweet of him.
Vegetarian:
Latin phrase, original meaning; “Really bad hunter”.
As dreams
today are of perchance a candlelit dinner, or a walk on a beach holding hands,
or perhaps just staring endlessly into dark lilting eyes, here is a tune that
will draw you in.
How unoriginal am I –
playing Chopin for Valentine’s Day. But if it stirs the heart, it stirs the heart.
Have wonderful day, E-v-e-r-y-b-o-d-y! And weekend of course.
