Happy Monday before the big day, Rus.
Thank you for ODB.
These help us start each day on the right foot.

Have a great day; I'm joining you in prayers for our country, McCain and Palin.

Lots of good celebrations today, Amy.

Meg .... thank you for posting and hostessing the thread yesterday.
You always do an excellent job. I do appreciate you!

I read the thread yesterday but didn't get anything posted;
I had good intentions ... does that count?

Happy Monday, Jaycee.
Great to be welcomed by that sunshiny graphic this morning.
Thank you!

I'm kinda slow this morning; I've been reading too many threads. LOL
Guess that is the reason for my mood swings. :)
Praying that we will all be celebrating tomorrow evening.

Have a Marvelous Monday.

LOL .... Written by a man, no doubt. :)

1955, hmmm. We’ve come a long way, Baby.

Isn’t that UNBELIEVABLE? I know it is hard to read, but every sentence is a GAGGER! I couldn’t even drink my coffee, while reading the durned thing - for fear of ruining my keyboard!!!

[jaycee]

Thanks Amy, for your sweet remarks....I don’t know how you do it!

I have those “mood swings” too, but don’t know what causes it~~LOL~~I thought it was a normal thing!

I was so happy McCain came here to the Tri=Cities. I am hoping and praying the polls are are wrong. I heard you can get any answer you want, if you phrase the question the correct way and I believe it. I have asked God to help us many times.

What Do Women Do All Day?

Every minute, to and fro,
That's the way my hours go;
Bring me this, and take me that,
Feed the dog, take out the cat.

Standing up, I eat my toast,
Drink my coffee, thaw the roast.
Empty the garbage, make the bed,
Rush to church, then wash my head.

Sweep the kitchen, wax the floor,
Scrub the woodwork, clean the doors;
Scour the bathtub, then myself;
Vacuum carpets, straighten shelves.

Eat my sandwich on the run...
Now my afternoon's begun.
To the baseball game I go,
When will there be time to sew?

Meet the teacher, stop the fight,
See the dentist, fly the kite.
Help with homework, do the wash,
Iron the clothes, put on the squash.

Shop for groceries, cash a check,
Fight the crowds, now I'm a wreck;
Dinner time it soon will be,
"What's for dinner?" they ask,
Wait and see.

Dirty dishes crowd the sink,
Next there's popcorn, then a drink.
Will they never go to bed?
Will I ever get ahead?

"Bring me water." "Get the light."
Turn off the TV, lock the bike.
"Where's my pillow?" "Hear my prayers."
"Did you lock the door downstairs?"

At last in bed, my spouse and I,
Too tired to move, too weak to cry.
But e'er I doze, I hear him say,
"What do women do all day?"
