With deep gratitude to all of who visited and commented over these 12 months of Monoku Mondays, I am hereby retiring this series. Keep laughing and bringing a smile to one another, we all need a lighthearted break from the serious side of life once in a while... especially on Mondays! ~ John

'Whoever has the gold makes the rules.' I believe that every language has this one as well. I know that in Hebrew it's 'If you've got the $100 bill, you get your way.' (Very loosely translated, but accurate, nevertheless). At any rate, congrats on a whole year of Monoku Mondays. You must be plumb tuckered out. If it was a resolution, then all the more credit goes to you for keeping it. If not -- make it retroactively! Cheers, Gershon

Ha,ha ha - A clear conscience is due to a loss of or bad memory - liked that a lot, now that I have started reading them, how can you not write them any more - oh well will go into your old ones! HUGS AND BLESSINGS, JENNIFER.

You make some valid points here John, a really good collection of Monoku.... I agree with all of them and like the irony and sarcasm in them...

Thank you for enjoying this ride with me, Tom. I believe you have made the journey to my page every Monday for the last year... I think that deserves some kind of prize, lol. Glad I could bring a smile, even as you have done for us at Soup hundreds of times. Blessings to you ~ John
