  • Love Is a Metaphor: 99 Metaphors of Love
    LOVE IS A METAPHOR: 99 METAPHORS OF LOVE https://www.thoughtco.com/love-is-a-metaphor-1691861 1. A Fruit Love is a fruit, in season at all times and within the reach of every hand. Anyone may gather it and no limit is set. (Mother Teresa, No Greater Love, 1997) 2. A Banana Peel I look at you and wham, I'm head over heels. I guess that love is a banana peel. I feel so bad and yet I'm feeling so well. I slipped, I stumbled, I fell. (Ben Weisman and Fred Wise, "I Slipped, I Stumbled, I Fell," sung by Elvis Presley in the film Wild in the Country, 1961) 3. A Spice Love is a spice with many tastes--a dizzying array of textures and moments. (Wayne Knight as Newman in the final episode of Seinfeld, 1998) 4. A Rose Love is a rose but you better not pick it. It only grows when it's on the vine. A handful of thorns and you'll know you've missed it. You lose your love when you say the word "mine."(Neil Young, "Love Is a Rose," 1977) 5. A Garden Now that you're gone I can see That love is a garden if you let it go. It fades away before you know, And love is a garden--it needs help to grow.(Jewel and Shaye Smith, "Love Is a Garden," 2008) 6. A Plant Love is a plant of the most tender kind, That shrinks and shakes with every ruffling wind. (George Granville, The British Enchanters, 1705) 7.

  • August 2012 Newsletter
    August 2012 Newsletter ------------------------------------ Yesterday & Today Records P.O.Box 54 Miranda NSW 2228 Phone: (02) 95311710 Email:[email protected] www.yesterdayandtoday.com.au ------------------------------------------------ Postage Australia post is essentially the world’s most expensive service. We aim to break even on postage and will use the best method to minimise costs. One good innovation is the introduction of the “POST PLUS” satchels, which replace the old red satchels and include a tracking number. Available in 3 sizes they are 500 grams ($7.50) 3kgs ($11.50) 5kgs ($14.50) P & P. The latter 2 are perfect for larger interstate packages as anything over 500 grams even is going to cost more than $11.50. We can take a cd out of a case to reduce costs. Basically 1 cd still $2. 2cds $3 and rest as they will fit. Again Australia Post have this ludicrous notion that if a package can fit through a certain slot on a card it goes as a letter whereas if it doesn’t it is classified as a “parcel” and can cost up to 5 times as much. One day I will send a letter to the Minister for Trade as their policies are distinctly prejudicial to commerce. Out here they make massive profits but offer a very poor number of services and charge top dollar for what they do provide. Still, the mail mostly always gets there. But until ssuch times as their local monopoly remains, things won’t be much different. ----------------------------------------------- For those long term customers and anyone receiving these newsletters for the first time we have several walk in sales per year, with the next being Saturday August 25th.

    LIGHTING OUR ADVENT CANDLE OF LOVE READING AND REFLECTING This morning we light our fourth Advent Candle, READING FROM THE BIBLE Jeremiah 31: 1-9 and Luke 1: 67-79 the candle of love. REFLECTING As we light the candle of love, we remember that Jesus teaches us What makes a house grand to love God with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength, Ain’t the roof or the doors to love our neighbors as we love ourselves, If there’s love in a house and to love our enemies and those who persecute us. It’s a palace for sure We light our Advent candle of love, Without love knowing that love comes from God, It ain’t nothing but a house and that all who sincerely love God, A house where nobody lives and love other people, Without love it ain’t nothing know God, But a house, a house where because God is love. Nobody lives. Tom Waits May the flame burning on the candle of love Love is a rose but you better not pick it be the flame that burns in our hearts: It only grows while it’s on the vine the light of Christ’s love, A handful of thorns and you’ll know you’ve missed it the light that liberates, heals and reconciles this world. You lose your love when you say the word ‘mine.’ Neil Young *SINGING LIKE ANGELS Jesus, Jesus, oh, what a wonderful child. OFFERING OURSELVES THROUGH OUR GENEROSITY Jesus, Jesus, so holy, meek, and mild; OFFERING OUR LIVES AND GIFTS IN SERVICE TO GOD new life, new love, the Child will bring.

As a candidate, Ventura created impressions of honesty with his straightforward, candid style; even his inaugural address was unscripted. As governor, however, Ventura came to rely on a team of speechwriters to help him meet his speaking demands. In this essay, I present an interview with one member of Ventura’s communications team, Steve LeBeau, who addresses the challenge of writing speeches for an unconventional client with a penchant for improvisation.
