Noives? What is "noives?"

Daughter is scraping herself off the ceiling. Mrs. MacNessa is passed out drunk on the sofa, and I'm seeing centipedes and snakes!

"If I am captured, I will continue to resist by all means available. I will make every effort to escape
and aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy."

Ms Feather...*hugs*...how are you? I am recovering, along with my whole office, from a cough/cold thingy. It laid me completely out last week. The office is filled with coughing people.

How are you doing? Snow? Staying warm?

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS AND OUR BELOVED NATION!



"The Star Spangled Banner"
Verse Four
(Click)


Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Please let me know by Freepmail if you would like
to be admitted to or released from my music ping list.
