What kind of salad? What went with the potatoes? Dessert will be what? Who's making it? Gourmandic gourmets want to know!
Lastly, who did the dishes?
Thank you Missouri.
They may stretch our necks on all the gibbets in the land. They may turn every tree into a gallows, every home into a grave, and yet the words of that parchment can never die. They may pour our blood on a thousand scaffolds and yet from every drop that dyes the axe a new champion of freedom will spring into birth. The words of this declaration will live long after our bones are dust. To the mechanic in his workshop they will speak hope; to the slave in the mines, freedom; but to the coward rulers, these words will speak in tones of warning they cannot help but hear. Sign that parchment. Sign if the next moment the noose is around your neck. Sign if the next minute this hall rings with the clash of falling axes! Sign by all your hopes in life or death, not only for yourselves but for all ages, for that parchment will be the textbook of freedom the bible of the rights of man forever. Were my soul trembling on the verge of eternity, my hand freezing in death, I would still implore you to remember this truth: God has given America to be free.As he finished, the speaker sank back in his seat exhausted. Inspired by his eloquence the delegates rushed forward to sign the Declaration of Independence. When they turned to thank the speaker for his timely words he couldn't be found, and to this day no one knows who he was or how he entered or left the guarded room."
Would we let them down? God bless every FreepeR that supports FR, not only via money, but by Bumping these threads, and fighting for our freedoms.

Personally - I have to do it - I've got to do the drive over the Verrazzano Bridge and NOT see what I've known for so long.
And I've got to take my 3 year old to 5th Avenue to see the windows - I think I want to see them more than I think she needs to - but its all part of growing up!!!!!!!
I don't know what else to say.
Thank you North Carolina.
It gets better - she knows all the words (almost) to God Bless America. and heaven help us if anyone says anything when President Bush is on the TV. In the very strident tones, that only a 3 year old can do "Mommy, be quiet, the President is speaking"
Heck - she was only 4 months old and was working with me as a greeter at the polls in '98.
Sure you do. "Thank you". To the founders, Reagan and every other American fighting for our freedoms ....
including YOU.
What else can I say? Night!
God Bless and I hope you got some really great presents!
The thing I miss most during the holidays is the chestnut roasters on the corners. That we don't have in Delaware.
There is nothing like a bag of hot chestnuts while walking along looking at the lights of NYC.
On the other hand we've got people around here that have no compunction about the electric bills and do lights like you would not believe. Some of the displays make mid-town Manhattan look like child's play. And you've got to know that is a tough thing for a New Yorker to say.
