"We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail!" President Bush
The big news of the day is the death and burial at sea of Osama bin Laden. Thank you, President Bush and the US military (including my son and future son-in-law) who made this day happen. Other news is the nuptials of William and Catherine in Great Britain. May God bless their union and draw them close to Him in Jesus Christ. Alabama (my state) and other southeast states continue the task of digging out and rebuilding. A massive effort is underway with able bodies and supplies needed.
Hi everyone! It feels like home to be here!
So, what prompted this excursion into new territory?
Hi HOB!
>>o, what prompted this excursion into new territory?
Just bought a boat and it has fishing chairs. Can’t let ‘em go to waste. Besides-—everybody fishes in the South.
Up North, to pass the time, I guess they just wait for McClellan to get his army ready.
Oh my! That is a very apt picture.
The space shuttle should launch this morning around 8 central time.
Good morning.
It’s rather chilly in Northern IL for the middle of May.
Coolness is better for transplanting, though, so that’s a good thing.
Toby: YO!
It’s rather cool here in central Alabama, too. That is a good thing because when we came home from Orlando, the air con was on the fritz. Hubby will call a repairman today.
NASA ping!

True, dat.

I could be wrong, but I think there is one more. It is the last one for Endeavor.
2/3rds, can you clarify?
Yes, this is the last flight for the Endeavor and the next-to-last flight for ANY shuttle program.
This is soooo wrong.
Hi Jemian! Barb and I tied the knot on Friday evening. A nice, small ceremony.
My best wishes as you start your new life. Did you rent an island in the Seycheles for your honeymoon?
All
.. hope you had a productive & restful weekend I was pleased to see last night the Bulls kick Heat butt. I still adore LeBron but still am POd at him & want NO RING at least this year for him
Wet and dreary here since Friday morning when I was able to get some yard work & planting accomplished
Finished up the 4 videos on the play Chicago. A great community theater performance that had a total of 4 weekend run and 10 paid performances. They are on YouTube and were shot & processed in High Definition. YouTube limits you to 10 minutes per video for the free account and the copyright constraints are 15 second segments so there is that limitation which was challenging to work around.
Here is one of Act One. I had never seen the theatrical performance prior but did enjoy the movie a couple years ago.
but we must free up money for all the illegals and for the health program we DON'T want.. annoying as all getout. This idiot is destroying the fabric of our nation
Good morning Jemian and all, thanks for the ping.
Duke, congratulations to both of you! May you have many happy years together.
And even with that, just where do they think the NASA money is going? It is going, in fact, to pay the salaries of Guennie’s husband and 2/3rds, who are GENIUSES and spend their salaries on businesses which, in turn, pay other PEOPLE’S SALARIES. It is putting a lot of dollars into people’s hands who actually need the money AND EARN IT!
I’m suspecting that a few illegals even benefit from the spending habits of those in the aerospace industry. There are a lot of mexican restaurants around Huntsville, AL.
All systems GO! No constraints!
It was a beautiful launch. I watched it live on Fox and a three-minute delay on “live” NASA TV.
The cloud coverage was so thick, it obscured the shuttle and I only caught a small glimpse when it briefly passed through an open space.
Our local channel showed hundreds of KSC workers gathering in the parking lot and making a human shuttle with a circle around it.....a photo-op for posterity.
SOON....thanks to Obama....many of these people will be without a job.
It is unconscionable what he has done to our country. I am so sorry, Guennie.
Trump NOT running for president.
Huckabee NOT running for president.
It’s been a good day.
If Sarah would announce, I would be very happy.
Newt needs to give it up too. IMO.
Yes! I agree so very much.
It isn’t bad enough that the “newter” had an argument during one of this glorified interviews on TV, but this afternoon he was on Hannity’s radio program and couldn’t keep his mouth shut. I know he ticked off many of the listeners (I was one) and being on Hannity sure didn’t help him much. In fact, Hannity said exactly that!
Either is Trump!
Maybe that needs a Yippee too!!!
How wonderful. Barb sounds like an amazing person. So glad that you found her.
Best wishes for a long and happy life together.
His ego and his temper have gotten the better of him. No Newt Never!
>>If Sarah would announce
Hah !! I suggested her right here on ATRW for VP way before even McCain ever heard of her !!! But now, she has trouble beating back the meany machine.

Do you know the handshaker who gave Newt a piece of his mind?
Good morning! I have a major brain “fog” this AM. I blame the pain-killers. Today I’m calling the doc-in-the-box for the results of the MRI.
I also got attacked by a bunch of ants yesterday. I got the benadryl quickly. The itching was controlled yesterday. Now the bites have turned into little blisters. big sigh. More benadryl!
Good morning.
Ant bites are NASTY! So sorry they attacked you, Jem.
It’s a cool but pretty day here. I’ll be planting flowers in pots and gardens.
Did the Cleome I sent come up?
We’re missing you, Toby!
Not quite yet. I waited to clear an area for them. It should be anytime now.
Read a post on another thread that Paul Ryan announced he’s NOT running for senate (per FoxNews)
I’m off to seek corroboration.
Good afternoon, everybody.
I had not heard about Paul Ryan. Hmmmm. I’m not rejoicing nor mourning that decision.
I am so glad that Maria did not stand by her man, like so many others have done. According to the rumors I’ve heard is that she separated from him as soon as she learned of his infidelity.
Note to all mistresses hoping to become wives: if he cheats WITH you, he will cheat ON you.
What do you all think of Cain? Unfortunately, I am behind in my reading. I will appreciate your thoughts.
I’m willing to bet that Maria knew about it all along and hung around as long as he was being glorified. Someone must have found out the house worker and the baby and been going to call in the press, so she got out.
She also knew that he had played around before they married, why would she think he would be faithful?
Actually, I think you are correct. Yet, in the end, she has left.
Bev, so far, I like Cain. I need to find out more about him. It is still too far out for me to get too concerned.
Here's hoping I'll see you soon.
I will ask for prayers for this venture. It means a lot to me, personally, and some income stability, and it means a lot, to remote, rural communities. We can do well by doing good.
And that's the attitude of my partners.
It is a lot of work. But I've done that before. I just need a payday to come along with the work.

Tobacco is planted, as are salad greens. I transplanted volunteer corn from the former pig-pen to the main garden (for some reason, it seemed well fertilized). Okra is growing good, and the sunflowers against the fenceline are 2 ft tall.
So how's the weather up there? ;)
/johnny
It sure does.
/johnny
Prayers up! You’ve been up and down and now it is time for stability again. Best wishes for success.
I would love to see your garden, and better yet, eat one of your meals.
;o)
Have you tasted Miss piggy yet?
Good luck with new geek venture.
allie wrote to me she was conveying the message to Toby to check in at FR . Did not indicate there was any illness/medical problem
Yes. She wrote me a similar message to my FB message to her. Hence, the bowl of grits in #393. Perhaps today will be the day.
Toby, you’re a mainstay of this thread. It isn’t the same without you.
