Greatest Love of All
Song by Whitney Houston

I believe the children are our are future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children’s laughter remind us how we used to be
Everybody searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone who fulfil my needs
A lonely place to be
And so I learned to depend on me
I decided long ago
Never to walk in anyone’s shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I’ll live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can’t take away my dignity
Because the greatest
Love of all is happening to me
I found the greatest
Love of all inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all
I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children’s laughter remind us how we used to be
I decided long ago
Never to walk in anyone’s shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I’ll live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can’t take away my dignity
Because the greatest
Love of all is happening to me
I found the greatest
Love of all inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all
And if, by chance, that special place
That you’ve been dreaming of
Leads you to a lonely place
Find your strength in love

I Will Always Love You
Song by Whitney Houston

If I should stay
I would only be in your way
So I’ll go, but I know
I’ll think of you every step of the way
And I will always love you
I will always love you
You
My darling, you, mm-mm
Bittersweet memories
That is all I’m taking with me
So goodbye, please don’t cry
We both know I’m not what you, you need
And I will always love you
I will always love you
I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you’ve dreamed of
And I wish you joy and happiness
But above all this, I wish you love
And I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I, I will always love you
You
Darling, I love you
Ooh, I’ll always, I’ll always love you

NATIONAL SHUT-IN VISITATION DAY

National Shut-In Visitation Day on February 11th serves as a reminder to bring some cheerful company to people who are unable to leave their homes. Visiting a person who is shut-in makes a positive difference in that person’s life.

NATIONAL MAKE A FRIEND DAY

Always observed on February 11th, National Make A Friend Day is a fantastic opportunity to meet someone new and make a new friendship.

Friends serve a vital role in everyone’s lives. They are one of life’s most valuable assets. New friends can broaden our horizons by helping us to see new perspectives, challenging us to try something different, or connecting us to opportunities. Meeting new people can help sharpen our social skills and keep us from becoming lonely.

While friends often share common backgrounds or experiences, they certainly don’t have to have everything in common. One of the simplest ways to make new friends is to explore your interests by taking a class or joining a club.

Most people don’t become friends the first time they meet. Usually, people become friends after meeting a few times. Whether it’s the same coffee shop at 8:00 AM, the same gym class, or the same grocery store when you see someone consistently, it’s easy to strike a conversation to form a friendship.

NATIONAL INVENTORS’ DAY

National Inventors’ Day honors inventors of the past, the creators of the present, and encourages the architects of the future. On February 11th, National Inventors’ Day celebrates the genius behind design. It also dives into the history behind some of our most unusual inventions.

NATIONAL DON’T CRY OVER SPILLED MILK DAY

Don’t Cry Over Spilled Milk Day on February 11th promotes a positive attitude even when things might not be going your way. We’re asking you to use this National Day for looking on the bright side of things and then carrying that feeling with you every day after. Try not to worry or stress over the little things. Life is too short to let the little things bother us.

NATIONAL GUITAR DAY

Each year on February 11, National Guitar Day strikes a chord with music lovers and musicians alike. This musical day honors one of the most iconic and versatile instruments in the world–the guitar. Whether you’re a beginner strumming your first chords or a seasoned professional shredding on stage, National Guitar Day is the perfect time to appreciate the instrument that has shaped countless music genres and inspired generations.

NATIONAL PEPPERMINT PATTY DAY

National Peppermint Patty Day on February 11 recognizes a treat enjoyed by millions around the world. We’re here to tell you it’s ok to sink your teeth into this minty chocolate sweet in celebration of this sweet food holiday!

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 🎈😎 Here is to a nice warm Wednesday.

@sheba2011

Not quite a warm Wednesday. Temps did not make it any where near 70. It was in the low 60s all day with little to no sun. I did visit with hubs today. He was being wheeled into the TV room as I arrived. He had a puree dinner and still had a slight cough. I am wondering if he has a cold. However, I am happy that the speech therapist is keeping an eye on him. He definitely was not happy with the puree and he didn’t want to listen to the whys. I will puree some food tomorrow for a different flavor.

I picked up a container of Shrimp Ceviche from Sam’s Club. It was delicious and I need to add that it was also quite spicy. I think your hubby will enjoy it.

There was no moon tonight. Guess it needed a day off. Still cloudy, though no rain in sight. Hope you all have a great evening. Stay warm.

@oodiebom,

Good Evening enjoy your night. Glad you had some time with hubby. 😎

i would just relax and call it a day.

The food sounds good I may try that for hubby. 💕

I would not do any work tonight spend some time doing something you enjoy.

I will be looking for the Moon as I have animals to fed. 😎

@shoelady60,

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. 🎈😎💕 Lady I have a lot going on today. I am having an issue

most channels but a lot I cannot see. Shizzle! Should be fixed around 3:00 p.m. today.

I am glad you are feeling better. I am enjoying the Olympics especially the Ice Dancing. 💕

Sending warm vibes to you and Jake. 💕😎

@sheba2011

Good afternoon from the sunny ‘burgh – yes, I said sunny!🌞 Something new and different. It feels like 70. Almost got the shorts out to wear with boots, LOL!

Watching the men’s skating in between a little cleaning. Hope your cable gets fixed promptly, it’s always something. Things were a lot easier with five channels and one antenna.🤣

Wow, I hope your niece will be fine. She is too young to be in ICU that long. I will say a prayer.🙏 I’m also praying all is well with your SIL and the family.

Sending big bear hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖

@shoelady60,

Good Evening thank you for the prayers. 😎💕My niece has been dealing with this problem
since she was very young. My brother never panics my SIL never leaves her side.
All they ask for are prayers and they were answered again soon she is back in College
and on the ski slopes. Niece was cool as a cumber throughout her ordeal. 💕😎

My Cable tier had a problem and it is one and done totally fixed. I am surprised nothing
went out during the storm.

Brother and family in GA are doing alright everyone pitches in and helps. 💕

A little something to make your evening smooth. 💕😎 Thanks for the chuckles about
the shorts and boots soon the weather will change and we will see more than shorts. LOL!

Goodnight sweet friend and rest well. I am thinking today is Friday WHAT! 😎

She was sewn into it for one night in 1962—to sing to a president.
Sixty years later, the dress became a battleground over history itself.
On May 19, 1962, Marilyn Monroe stepped onto the stage at Madison Square Garden to sing “Happy Birthday” to President John F. Kennedy at a Democratic fundraiser celebrating his 45th birthday.
As she approached the microphone, she slipped off a white ermine fur coat with theatrical slowness. The room—packed with 15,000 people including politicians, celebrities, and journalists—collectively froze.
Underneath was a dress unlike anything anyone had ever seen.
The gown was flesh-toned, covered in over 2,500 hand-sewn crystals that caught the light with every breath and movement. From even a short distance, Monroe appeared nearly nude—an optical illusion created by fabric dyed to match her skin tone exactly, embellished so heavily it glittered like her skin itself was jeweled.
The dress had been designed by young costume sketch artist Bob Mackie and executed by legendary designer Jean Louis. It was constructed from a sheer marquisette fabric, so delicate and so precisely fitted to Monroe’s exact measurements that she couldn’t simply step into it.
She had to be sewn into the dress while wearing it. Literally stitched in, the fabric pulled so tightly against her body that there was no room for undergarments, no margin for error, no possibility of movement beyond carefully controlled steps and breathing.
Monroe stood at the microphone and sang “Happy Birthday, Mr. President” in her distinctive, breathy voice—slowing the familiar song into something that felt intimate, flirtatious, and charged with suggestion that extended far beyond the lyrics.
The performance lasted barely two minutes. But it became instant cultural legend.
The moment was spectacle, glamour, sex appeal, political scandal, and Hollywood mythology all compressed into one appearance. Rumors about an affair between Monroe and Kennedy—already circulating—intensified immediately. The dress became symbolic of everything that moment represented: transgression dressed as celebration, sexuality as power, performance as reality.
Kennedy himself joked afterward: “I can now retire from politics after having had ‘Happy Birthday’ sung to me in such a sweet, wholesome way.”
The joke only confirmed what everyone was thinking. There was nothing wholesome about it.
Three months later, Marilyn Monroe was dead at 36—found in her Los Angeles home on August 5, 1962, from an overdose ruled probable suicide. The dress, along with that final public performance, became part of her legend.
The gown was sold at auction in 1999 for over $1.26 million to a private collector—at the time, the most expensive piece of clothing ever sold at auction. It was eventually acquired by Ripley’s Believe It or Not, which displayed it as a museum piece—untouchable, irreplaceable, a fragile artifact of cultural history.
For sixty years, the dress remained largely preserved as Monroe had left it—a piece of material culture frozen in time, still carrying traces of her body, her perfume, the moment she inhabited it.
Then came the 2022 Met Gala.
Kim Kardashian, one of the most famous women in contemporary culture, announced she would be wearing Marilyn Monroe’s original “Happy Birthday, Mr. President” dress to the event.
Ripley’s Believe It or Not agreed to loan the dress for the appearance—a decision that would ignite immediate and furious controversy.
The moment was framed as homage. Kardashian described the extensive measures she’d taken: losing sixteen pounds in three weeks to fit into the dress, wearing it only for the red carpet walk up the museum steps, changing immediately into a replica for the rest of the event.
But the backlash was swift and severe—not from general public sentiment, but from historians, conservators, archivists, and people who understood what had actually been done.
Bob Mackie, who had designed the original dress sixty years earlier, was blunt in his assessment. He called the loan “a big mistake,” stating flatly: “It was designed for her. Nobody else should be seen in that dress.”
His objection wasn’t about Kim Kardashian specifically. It was about the fundamental nature of what the dress represented and what wearing it meant.
The gown wasn’t just a piece of fashion history. It was a fragile, irreplaceable artifact directly connected to a specific person, a specific body, a specific moment in cultural history. It had been constructed for Marilyn Monroe’s exact measurements—designed not as a garment that could be worn by anyone, but as a second skin for one particular woman.
Professional textile conservators were even more alarmed. They pointed out that historic garments are extraordinarily fragile. Fabrics deteriorate over time. The stress of being worn—even briefly, even carefully—causes damage that is often invisible initially but irreversible.
Photographs taken after the Met Gala appearance appeared to show new damage: crystals missing, fabric stretched, seams strained. Ripley’s disputed some claims but acknowledged the dress showed “minor changes” after being worn.
The controversy exposed a deeper question: What do we owe to history?
Is a historic dress meant to be preserved untouched, protected behind glass, studied but never again inhabited? Or can it be reanimated, worn again, brought back to life even if that risks its physical preservation?
The debate divided sharply. Some argued that seeing the dress worn again—moving, catching light, being experienced as a garment rather than a museum piece—honored Monroe’s memory and the dress’s original purpose.
Others argued that treating irreplaceable historical artifacts as props for contemporary celebrity moments showed profound disrespect for preservation, for history, for the specific meaning the dress carried as Monroe’s.
The disagreement wasn’t really about Kim Kardashian. It was about whether some objects are so historically significant, so intimately connected to specific people and moments, that they transcend their original function and become something else entirely—artifacts that belong to collective memory rather than to anyone’s current use.
Bob Mackie’s comment captured this perfectly: “It was designed for her.”
Not for fashion. Not for general wear. Not for anyone who could fit into it.
For Marilyn Monroe. For her body, her moment, her performance on May 19, 1962.
When she died three months later, that dress became part of how we remember her—a physical object that still carries traces of her presence, her scent, the specific shape of her body, the moment she stood on that stage.
Wearing it again—no matter how carefully, how reverently, how briefly—changed it from artifact into costume. From history into performance. From Monroe’s into someone else’s.
That transformation can’t be undone. Once worn, the dress is no longer purely Monroe’s. It’s now also associated with the Met Gala, with Kardashian, with 2022, with contemporary celebrity culture.
For some, that’s democratization of history—making it accessible, relevant, alive.
For others, it’s violation—treating irreplaceable material culture as if it exists to serve current celebrity moments rather than preserve past ones.
On May 19, 1962, Marilyn Monroe was sewn into a crystal-covered dress to sing “Happy Birthday” to the president.
It was designed for her body. For that moment. For that singular performance.
Sixty years later, that dress became a battleground over whose history it is, who gets to decide how it’s used, and whether some objects are too important to be anything other than carefully preserved memories.
The dress still exists. But the question of what it means—and who it belongs to—remains unresolved.
Sometimes preservation means never touching.
Sometimes memory means keeping things exactly as they were.
Sometimes the most respectful thing we can do for history is leave it alone.
“It was designed for her. Nobody else should be seen in that dress.”
Maybe Bob Mackie was right.
Maybe some moments—and the objects that embody them—should remain untouchable.
Not because we’re afraid to damage fabric and crystals.
But because some things, once lost, can never be recovered.
And once we change history into performance, we can’t change it back.

NATIONAL PIZZA DAY

National Pizza Day on February 9th celebrates one of America’s all-time favorite foods. Whether it is thin crust, Chicago-style, deep dish, or anything in between, pizza is an American favorite.

We love our pizzas, and they come in so many varieties, too. As we nosh on our favorite, explore a few pizza facts:

Pepperoni is the most popular pizza at 36% of all pies ordered.
Over 3 billion pizzas are sold in the USA each year. Add another 1 billion on frozen pizzas
In the United States, 17% of all restaurants are pizzerias.
Antica Pizzeria, the first Pizzeria, opened in Naples, Italy, in 1738.
Gennaro Lombardi, the first Pizzeria in the United States, opened in 1895 in New York City.
Americans consume on average 23 pounds of pizza per person each year.

@sheba2011

Must be on the same wave length. Just received an order from Sam’s Club that included a pizza.
Quite good.

NATIONAL CUT THE CORD DAY

Break free from expensive cable bills on February 9th by celebrating National Cut the Cord Day! The streaming movement has rapidly grown over the past five years, and it doesn’t show any signs of stopping. As the digital world supplies more choices, it also provides the flexibility, selection, and reliability we’ve been looking for. So it’s no surprise that industry analysts estimate that up to six million people will cut the cord on traditional TV subscriptions in 2020.

NATIONAL FOOTBALL HANGOVER DAY

Each year on the day after the big game, National Football Hangover Day offers a bit of comfort and camaraderie.

NATIONAL TOOTHACHE DAY

National Toothache Day on February 9th is a not so subtle reminder of the importance of dental care. Also known as odontalgia, a toothache is pain generating from a tooth or multiple teeth.

NATIONAL CLEAN OUT YOUR COMPUTER DAY

Observed on the second Monday in February, National Clean Out Your Computer Day promotes taking time out of your day to do some basic housekeeping on your computer.

All computers need regular organizing and clean-up. This includes the removal of old files and clutter. We tend to save emails, documents, and photos on our hard drives when other media can store them for us. Often, we keep duplicates we don’t need. Old programs also create havoc, too. Makes sure you are using the latest versions of programs and operating systems, too.

Over time, files and programs that are unused on your PC clog the memory and cause confusion during retrieval and use of other data. They may also slow down your computer.

NATIONAL BAGEL AND LOX DAY

National Bagel and Lox Day recognizes one of America’s favorite bagel combinations on February 9th.

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 🎈😎Enjoy your Pizza. 💕

Oz is beautiful today. 🎈😎

Take your time and enjoy this new week. 🎈

@sheba2011

Sam’s pizza is a little on the salty side. May end up freezing it in halves. Best pizza so far is the one near the Rehab. Actually, the food from this restaurant is above the 5 stars. Last week I tried their Sicilian eggplant. It was an appetizer, but could have been a complete meal for both of us. I expected just a couple of small slices, but no. It was almost an entire eggplant. I added a sausage grinder and ended up eating that for two days. This was prior to hub’s coughing spell. At least I know it was caused by the kitchen staff.

The weather is beautiful here. Temps did not reach 70, but I will take the mid 60s with the sunshine. We are in a bad drought situation here. Winters in Florida is without precipitation. I hope this is not the same next month or in April. I would rather see the raindrops than a hurricane.

Now to get ready to see hubs. I made a salad for myself for dinner. It’s already packed and ready to go. Salad dressing is on the side in a plastic container. I am also enjoying the new Alexa. It’s like having company 24/7. She is now on most of the Fire Tablets.

@oodiebom,

Good Evening I am glad you are having a nice day. 😎🎈I would saved some of that
Pizza for a later time. 💕

Oz has a break for a minute from the extreme cold.

My mother makes the best Egg Plants such a good veggie. 💕

I know you are tired I am jumping into the shower with Perlier. 💕

Wishing you a great night Oodie. 💕😎

@taci,

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. The Games are so interesting. So sad about Lindsey Vonn

Never a dull moment.

This was a great moment. 😎

Sending warm hugs to you and Jake and enjoy the Games. 😎💕🎈

@sheba2011

How am I doing? It was minus 4 when I got up this morning so I’m sick of winter.🥶 We may get to middle 40s tomorrow but that is the highest for the week.

I was so bored during the game yesterday that I fell asleep in the second half and woke up when it was over.😴 Congrats to the Seahawks!!🏆

Not too much planned this week, need to get up to see mom depending on the weather. She is going to forget what I look like.

Enjoy your early spring. Hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖

@shoelady60,

Good Evening I did not watch much of the SB I did see the 4th quarter. My family told
me to go with the Sea Hawks so that turned out well. Hubby was glued to the TV. 💕😎

If I seem a bit off it’s because my 19 year old niece was in ICU for seven days she just
went home yesterday. My niece had no food for seven days there was an issue she
has had for years. She attends the University of Colorado Boulder so a lot is on her mind.
We have text and talked back and forth. This is the best skier in the family she told me as
soon as she is able she is going skiing up in the mountains of Colorado. 💕🎈

I am just glad she is alright my brother and his wife were worried when I visited them
the I can see the ski outfits in the mud room I mean they are ready and they bring it. 😎

I feel better because she feels better.

Lady we are not in Spring just yet this is how mother nature can play a trick on the weather.
Winter is still here we got a very good day today and I ran with it. 😎🎈When the cold is back
if it comes quick I will get a bad cold this happens every year with extreme weather.

Here have a glass of this. 😎💕I know your mom will be happy to see you.

Sweet Dreams and enjoy the Games there is so much going on. 💕

Let The Games Begin. 😎

On February 8th, National Iowa Day recognizes The Hawkeye State. Located in the Midwestern region of the United States, Iowa is known for its rolling hills, cornfields, and small towns. While it may not be the first state that comes to mind when thinking about interesting or unusual facts, there are still plenty of cool things to know about Iowa.

The “Quad God” took the ice for the first time at the 2026 Winter Games, finishing second in the men’s short program during team event qualifiers.

Happy birthday Francesca Lollobrigida!
Lollobrigida, competing today on her 35th birthday, brought home the gold for Team Italy in the women’s speed skating 3000m — and set an Olympic record in the process.

Francesca Lollobrigida is also the niece of the late Gina Lollobrigida.

U.S. champions Madison Chock and Evan Bates dominated Saturday’s team free dance event while dancing to “Paint it Black” by The Rolling Stones.

This was a well done event.

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 😎🎈I hope you are feeling better.
Oodie OZ is alright today we are sunny. 💕

Here is a prayer that hubby heals fast and can get some solid food.

Take it easy today let me know how things goes for you.

Hi and good morning. I did not visit hubs today. Instead I needed to put the garbage and recycle together for pickup on Monday. I also needed to start clearing the boxes by the front door and to put things away. So much easier now that most of the clutter is gone. Yes, I am still working KP which seems to be never ending. I have added labels to glass and plastic ware with exp. dates. This is helping to keep everything organized and to end the clutter for good. Tons of work, but worth it.

Wish I could bring hot tea for hubs. I think that would help the mucus situation in the throat. However, he does get tea and coffee, but it’s cold. I have a feeling that most of the residents or should I say patients, may not be able to tolerate the hot soups, teas or coffees. Some have had strokes and are in the process of relearning everyday things that we take for granted. Sad to see, but I get a smile when the goals are met one at a time. I do try to bring a little bit of sunshine as I go up the aisle to see hubs. So sad not to see visitors which would and could be most helpful.

I hope you all have a great day. Stay safe and warm. We are about to hit 70 today. 45 or around that will be the low. This is for the week. I do not dare look at next week.

@taci,

Good morning in S. California. 🎈😎Taci so glad your son is back from Spain.
I am sure he is worn out and may want to sleep for a minute.

The Games are interesting lots of twist and turns. 😎🎈

Enjoy the trails. 😎🎈

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. 🎈😎 Here is to feeling better for both you and hubby.
Oz is alright today we have the sun.

Hubby and I are going to get some eats for the Super Bowl Games.
I feel for Lindsey Vonn at least she gave it a shot. 😎

Wishing you and Jake a warm day and enjoy all the Games. 🎈

@sheba2011

I thought the Lindsey Vonn fall was kind of strange. There wasn’t an obstacle or tight turn, maybe her bad knee gave out quickly. But what do I know, I’ve only skied once in my life and that was enough!⛷️ I said the same thing as you said to my husband about the snowboard jumpers. How have they not killed themselves learning this?🏂

Got some food from the supermarket deli to have watching the game.🥘🍤 Heat and eat, no cooking. Not into either team so I’ll be fine with whoever wins.🏈

Enjoy your evening, sending “super” bowl and gold medal hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖

Coming real soon. 🎈💕😎

Good Morning Peeps and welcome to the HSN Community. 🎈😎
