Here are a few more great quotes from the 2003 movie Seabiscuit.

"You don't throw a whole life away just because he's banged up a little."
Tom Smith.

"You know, everyone thinks we got this broken-down horse and fixed him. But we didn't. He fixed us. And in a way, we fixed each other, too."
Red Pollard (Toby Maguire) :)

I seen the movie 'Seabiscuit' but I never seen the movie 'Secretariat' (it's about a horse who is a Triple Crown winner in 1973 and I meaning the Kentucky Derby,Preakness and Belmont Stakes)...beside the last Triple Crown Winner is Affirmed in 1978 so many horses may have won Kentucky Derby and Preakness but never win in Belmont Stakes...and I mean in the right order.:halo:

Hey Jade.

Yeah, Seabiscuit is a great movie and Secretariat is great too. We have always loved animals. We have 5 cats in the house, several and several more in the barn. We have 4 American Quarter horses and 1 Paint horse. My mom especially loves the horses, and we watch all the Triple Crown races every year. So I know all about Affirmed and all of that. I'm starting to think that we will never have another Triple Crown winner in our lifetime. But I still look forward to watching the Kentucky Derby. Thanks for your comment. :)

I have missed a few of these since I last checked this thread. They are all so amazing. You have a way with selecting the right quotes and making the artwork.

    ((So... the latest is that the woman who reported the folks to the police, called the guy who handled the appeal (after we left the room) and told him that if he doesn't make sure to get the folks out of the building, she'd make things difficult for him. The property manager told ma a few days ago, and ma told me today. So, anyone know what that would be called? Coercing, bribery, influence peddling? Would that invalidate the eviction? This is Section 8 housing, so low-income housing. The appeal decision should in theory get here next week or maybe Friday, and they can appeal again, maybe this one would be in real court... don't know. I will advise the folks contact legal aid and see what they say.))

    ((Correction: the parents are caving, they are planning for the move ON January 1st, without waiting to hear what the appeal decision is, and not willing to fight it. I stormed out of their place tonight (punched the call button for the elevator... they may have heard it), because I know they could win the second appeal hands down (they don't want "more of the stress from all this", they would discuss shit when I went to the bathroom tonight). I reminded them they may not get the entertainment center through the door to the apartment, we probably will have to take the claw legs off the table for the first time ever, but they have their heart set on it. ))

    ((My right middle finger, behind first knuckle, left a bit of skin on the button... I was that angry. They decided this without talking to me, saying they were "tired of the stress". They're set on a two bedroom apartment ($154 more than the current, at least), it's up to me if I want to move, they said. Once we leave this place (section 8/low-income housing, the waiting list is over 2 years), that's it... the building manager retires later 2025... she pulled a string to get me in here))

    Did you know.....The original candy canes were straight sugar sticks that were often used to decorate Christmas trees. The first historical reference to the cane shape was in 1670, when the choirmaster at Cologne Cathedral in Germany bent the sugar sticks into the shape of a shepherd's staff. Candy canes remained white until the early 20th century when red stripes and peppermint flavor became popular.

    ((So... the folks called me upstairs to help figure out how to get their SSI paperwork to the new landlord... we were discussing it, when the landlord emailed that all three of us are denied... mostly the main thing was "poor rental history; insufficient income (they're on SSI); no credit file; if no judgment was rendered on them after they appealed the initial eviction notice, then they gave their 30 days notice, can they rescind that (this is Minnesota, ya shure, ya betcha) and stay?
