[Billie]

Wanted to drop in on my way out the door to say good morning to P & P.

Amy, the Christmas Welcome graphics you've been posting every day for the past couple of weeks are just beautiful!

Away in a manger!

No crib for a bed.

The little Lord Jesus lay down his sweet head.

The stars in the sky look down where he lay.

The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay!

Good Morning, Meekie.
Good Morning, Carl.

Looks like coffee weather in Dallas today.
We may get a little rain on Friday ..... if so, foggy weather will follow.
When we get a white Christmas, it is the foggy kind.
Have a wonderful day.

Wasn't it a great sight to see the Iraqi people celebrating the capture of the tyrant?
That picture should made the demwits cringe.

"Fear will leave us when we remember that God is always with us."

Good Morning, Mayor.
Hope today finds you and yours well.
How's the job hunting going?

Thank you for the Daily Bread and the coffee this morning.
Both are a welcome sight.

[JustAmy]

Good Morning, OESY.

Thank you for the post commemorating the anniversary of the Wright Brothers flight.

Aren't the advances in flight during the past 100 years amazing?

[JustAmy]

"he'd still be voting even after death."

I would laugh but your statement is so very true.

[Darksheare]

Thanks for dropping by, be careful out there.

[Darksheare]

I know, it's horrible.
Yet strangely funny.

Revealed: Qantas Airlines Mechanics' Wicked Sense Of Humor
(The following e-mail whizzed around the web recently.)

After every flight, pilots fill out a form called a "gripe sheet", which conveys to the mechanics problems encountered with the aircraft during the flight that need repair or correction. The mechanics read and correct the problem, and then respond in writing on the lower half of the form what remedial action was taken, and the pilot reviews the "gripe sheets" before the next flight.

Never let it be said that ground crews and engineers lack a sense of humor. Here are some actual logged maintenance complaints and problems as submitted by Qantas pilots and the solution recorded by maintenance engineers. By the way, Qantas is the only major airline that has never had an accident.

P = The problem logged by the pilot.
S = The solution and action taken by the engineers.

* * *

P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement.
S: Almost replaced left inside main tire.

P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough.
S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft.

P: Something loose in cockpit.
S: Something tightened in cockpit.

P: Dead bugs on windshield.
S: Live bugs on back-order.

P: Autopilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200 feet per minute descent.
S: Cannot reproduce problem on ground.

P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear.
S: Evidence removed.

P: DME volume unbelievably loud.
S: DME volume set to more believable level.

P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick.
S: That's what they're there for.

P: IFF inoperative.
S: IFF always inoperative in OFF mode.

P: Suspected crack in windshield.
S: Suspect you're right.

P: Number 3 engine missing.
S: Engine found on right wing after brief search.

P: Aircraft handles funny.
S: Aircraft warned to straighten up, fly right, and be serious.

P: Target radar hums.
S: Reprogrammed target radar with lyrics.

P: Mouse in cockpit.
S: Cat installed.

P: Noise from under instrument panel. Sounds like a midget pounding with a hammer.
S: Took hammer away from midget.

A great read from our Freeper Uncle George. Hope you don't mind me sharing.

DID YOU KNOW?

As you walk up the steps to the Capitol Building which houses the Supreme Court you can see near the top of the building a row of the world's law givers and each one is facing one in the middle who is facing forward with a full frontal view - it is Moses and the Ten Commandments!

As you enter the Supreme Court courtroom, the two huge oak doors have the Ten Commandments engraved on each lower portion of each door. As you sit inside the courtroom, you can see the wall, right above where the Supreme Court judges sit, a display of the Ten Commandments!

There are Bible verses etched in stone all over the Federal Buildings and Monuments in Washington, D.C.

James Madison, the fourth president, known as "The Father of Our Constitution" made the following statement "We have staked the whole of all our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for self-government, upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God."

Patrick Henry, that patriot and Founding Father of our country said, "It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded not by religionists but by Christians, not on religions but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ".

Every session of Congress begins with a prayer by a paid preacher, whose salary has been paid by the taxpayer since 1777.

Fifty-two of the 55 founders of the Constitution were members of the established orthodox churches in the colonies.

Thomas Jefferson worried that the Courts would overstep their authority and instead of interpreting the law would begin making law....an oligarchy....the rule of few over many.

The very first Supreme Court Justice, John Jay, said, "Americans should select and prefer Christians as their rulers."

How, then, have we gotten to the point that everything we have done for 220 years in this country is now suddenly wrong and unconstitutional?

Please forward this to everyone you can. Let's put it around the world and let the world see what this country was built on.
