Marval Movie

 It was a choice between rapscallion or Ray day. Guess I shall salute my husband who is a bit of a rascal, with a tweak of rogue, and a sweet romancer.

Popular in the 1920s - Robert and Richard and Ruth
2010 - Ryan, Robert for boy names
Riley and Rachel rule the girls
Ray (means a wise protector) is actually his middle name, but that's what everyone calls him. Let's see what else he could be - does he look like a?
Rad (English) one who provides counsel
Rafe (Irish) a tough man
Rafferty (Gaelic) one who wields prosperity
Ryder (English) accomplished horseman
Ruiz (Spanish)  a good friend
Roe (English) one who hunts deer  (Bingo - we might have a winner)


Now the ladies - we'll do a female Rae - means innocent lamb
Rainbow (American)  symbolizes promise
Rhedyn (welsh) resembling a fern
Rohini (Indian) a beautiful woman
Ryo (Japanese)  an excellent woman

This has been a salute to my RAY of sunshine.
I feel like Sesame Street - sponsored by the letter R

R = Rude

I've been just shadowing the A to Z - not doing official posts.  But here's my Friday R contribution.

In this day and age, a certain someone (sadly) has been a HUGE influence on proper decorum. Now I'll admit, maybe I'm just not in step with 2018 morals, accepted behavior, and current code of conduct.  That's fine by me. I do not participate in Twitter, and from what I read in sound bites, I'm judging it as appalling. This is strictly MY opinion. I'm not a hot demographic - I'm not in the "base"  (thank goodness - again, my opinion).  But, I personally cannot see where total rudeness wins. Why be ugly just to be ugly?

Anyway, here are some quotes that I felt applied to the topic of Rudeness:

All words are pegs to hang ideas on - Henry Ward Beecher 1887

A Deluge of Words, and a Drop of Sense - Thomas Fuller 1732

Words - so innocent and powerless as they are, as standing in a dictionary, how potent for good and evil they become, the the hands of one who knows how to combine them - Nathaniel Hawthorne 1847

All our words from loose using have lost their edge - Ernest Hemingway  1932

You can stroke people with words - F. Scott Fitzgerald  1945

A word out of season may mar a whole life  - saying (Greek)

Have a super good weekend, and ponder what you say, what you read, and how you interpret words.

Take care, my friends
