London's Westminster Abbey was consecrated on this date in 1065. There has been a church on the site since the late 8th century, when a small community of monks formed a monastery there; it's possible the site dates back as far as the early seventh century, to the time of the first Christian king of the Saxons, Saberht. King Edward I (later known as Edward the Confessor) decided to expand the Benedictine monastery around 1040, and ordered construction of a new stone church in honor of Saint Peter. The church became known as "west minster" to distinguish it from Saint Paul's Cathedral, which was the "east minster." By the time the church was consecrated 25 years later, Edward was too ill to attend, and he died a few weeks later. He was buried in front of the high altar.
Most of the original abbey was lost when Henry III decided to remodel it in the new Gothic style during the 13th century.
Beginning with William the Conqueror in 1066, Westminster Abbey has witnessed all but two coronations. It has hosted 16 royal weddings, and houses the remains of 17 monarchs. It is also the final resting place of many notable writers, poets, scientists, and politicians.
contemplativeYou Are Charming and Unique |
 You are attracted to the counter culture. Mainstream culture doesn't have a lot to offer you. If people want to think you're flakey, that's fine. You're getting more done than they are. You don't need much in life. You just want to be seen and appreciated for who you are. You can be a bit too honest at times. And most people find that refreshing. |
Too stressed to sleep. If I don't have a few dozen ulcers by now, I'd be surprised.....

A blonde gets a call from a bill collector "We have been waiting for payment for your new windows for over a year. When can we expect to get paid?" The blonde replies: "How stupid do you think I am? When the salesman sold me the windows he told me they would pay for themselves within a year."

contentHAPPY VETERAN'S DAY......AND "THANK YOU"!!!!
gratefulIt's Halloween, one of the oldest holidays in the Western European tradition, invented by the Celts, who believed Halloween was the day of the year when spirits, ghosts, faeries, and goblins walked the earth. The tradition of dressing up and getting candy probably started with the Celts as well. Historians believe that they dressed up as ghosts and goblins to scare away the spirits, and they would put food and wine on the doorstep for the spirits of family members who had come back to visit the home.
