Speaking in St Louis, where he was campaigning in his own re-election bid, Mr Bush said: "I want to congratulate my good friend Prime Minister John Howard, who won a great victory."

On Saturday, August 14th 2004, 24Karet became my wife. It was a perfect day, with close friends and family all gathered to celebrate with us. For all our FRiends here on FR, here are some pics of the joyous day. My best man asks me wether I would like to slip out a side door: My father and older brother with me before the ceremony: "You may kiss the bride!" At the park for pictures after the ceremony: The best man and maid-of-honor: All in all it was a glorious day, and I wanted to share a few moments with...

Cancer is a funny illness that comes in all shapes and sizes, sometimes better or worse. Sometimes a short fight, sometimes a long fight. The key word is fight. I must encourage you to always keep the faith. The faith in your doctors, the faith in the medicine, the faith in your family, and most importantly the faith in yourself. This, my friend, is absolutely the best thing you can do for yourself. Your strength gives so many others hope and inspiration, including myself. I returned to professional cycling because of people like you, cancer patients who want to live...

I asked a lady to marry me over the weekend. She said yes. We have known each other about 6 weeks, dated 2. This is crazy, I know but we both felt it was right and I need God to lead the way. Please pray for us, Jerry and Dorothy. Pray that the pending issues will be resolved.

My brother, conservative fellow-in-arms has just successfully completed his final day in a prestigious medical school in the Midwest. As a graduate of the Naval Academy and patriot, he has opted to embark on flight surgeon-training following his internship at Bethesda. He is too humble to post this himself, so consider your compliments forwarded to him, since I will post him the entire mailbox.

<p>Gov. Haley Barbour was sworn in as Mississippi's 63rd governor today and pledged to make jobs a priority in his administration.</p> <p>"This is the moment to lift our horizons for Mississippi," Barbour said in his inaugural speech.</p> <p>"I envision a Mississippi of growth, hope and prosperity; a state that not only produces more and better paying jobs for our working people, but a home that raises up the prospects of all our people and elevates our respect for all our people," he said.</p>

I know this is somewhat presumptuous that anybody would care, but I found out today that I will be a new father in about 8.75 months. Part of me is scared because I firmly believe that raising a child into a good person is probably the most important thing a person can do in their lives. The only reason I am posting this is that I bet this value is shared by a great many people in this forum, and our anonymity allows a comfortable level of discourse. (Wait, that's two reasons.) Anyway, wish us luck.

Hello all! Thought I would let my friends and family at Free Republic know that on July 4, 2003 at 1:00pm I will be married in Glen Dale, WV. Of course anyone with a Freeper name like sonsofliberty2000 would HAVE to wed on the Fourth of July. :-) I just wanted to share with all the joy and excitement I feel and will gladly listen to any advice the other married folk here might dish out. Thanks, Nick Queen
