'I can never sufficiently express my deep gratitude to you, darling May, for the way you have helped and stood by me in these difficult times. This is not sentimental rubbish, but what I really feel.'

OFF TOPIC
This magnificent ball gown was worn by duchess of Portland Winifred Cavendish-Bentinck, a much admired and respected society beauty, a humanitarian and animal rights activist in fancy, dressed here as Duchess of Savoy, at Devonshire Ball 1897 (which ofc was also attended by George V and Queen Mary)
"You have never left me for a single day since that sad event. I fear darling my nature is not demonstrative, but I want you to understand, that I am indeed grateful to you, for all you have done these busy months for me & I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your love & for the enormous help & comfort which you have been to me in my new position.
I can't imagine how I could have got on at all without you, I shall never forget it...My love grows stronger for you every day mixed with admiration & I thank God every day that he has given me such a darling devoetd wife as you are....God bless you my sweet Angel May....''

This isn't the first time. Last year, the IDF would leave behind explosives disguised to look like toys (they did this in Lebanon as well)
get some sense of humor liberals and democrats. You are boring
The haters and losers, they came with their guns. Guns they want to ban by the way. Very sad. They shot me but missed. Badly. They only clipped my ear. I said to the doctor afterwards, great doctor by the way. The best. I said "I've got two ears but I'm sure I can do without one. I can win an election with one ear and Biden wouldn't even win with three." He laughed and said "sir, I've never seen someone heal from a gunshot wound so quickly." The quickest, I hear folks. The quickest. It's an incredible thing.
