lysie ~~~ I got goosebumps just reading your report ..... I can only imagine how inspiring and emotional it must have been to actually be there!

ALL ~~~ if you haven't seen this thread, I highly recommend it ..... and if you can, click on the link near the top and listen to that haunting version of the song that I will now always associate with 9/11.

Morning!

lysander - Excellent! Glad you enjoyed it so much.

Raven - So Will Ed Bryant keep his House seat? Or did he give it up to run for the Senate?

Just remembered: Labor Day...Anniversary of Bush's Labor Day 2000 "Clymer" remark. LOL!

Isn't it great that the media continues to give us so many candidates for the "Clymer" of the Day/Week/ Month??!! sigh....

Good morning, all!

Nita - thank you for starting today; I really needed the sleep. Was very tired last night. Much better today.

[Neets]

Good morning...glad to be of help...sorry it wasn't a rousing start. Havening troubles getting motivated today..LOL.

[lysie]

Welcome home, Chairman. We have been following you travels. :-)

[Chairman_December_19th_Society]

sorry it wasn't a rousing start.

No need to apologize, I am thankful you took it upon yourself to get us all going this morning. I appreciate it.

Have to restock the fridge and cupboards today. Mrs. Chairman and I will be leaving for the store soon.

[Chairman_December_19th_Society]

Welcome home, Chairman.

Thank you. Glad to be home. It was a nice vacation, but it is always good to return to the nest.

Good morning toots...

Prayer needed. My brother called my mom yesterday to report that my nephew was in a bad car accident yesterday. The front of his car was hit by someone who ran a red light. The police said if it had struck further back, he probably would have been killed. As it is, he has cuts and bruises and a crack in his leg so is wearing an inflatable cushion cast.

This nephew, in my opinion, needs something to shake him up. He hasn't had a real stable home life as he's lived with his mother after she left my brother. Seems like not too many good values ever made it very deeply into him. I appreciate prayers for him.

I'll call my brother soon to find out more. Today is his birthday.

Prayers lifted, Mr. M.

Weinberger warns of nuclear blackmail by Saddam

[Neets]

Prayers MM.

[Mr. Mulliner]

Thanks for that link, Molly. What Weinberger said is just what I was telling my sister about why going to war is important. I don't think Saddam's direct threat against the US is the big issue, although people keep focusing on that. It's what trouble he can cause in the region and eventually become a bigger threat through nuclear blackmail that provides good reason to take him out now.

Welcome home, Chair!
Anxious to hear about your adventures.
:o)

[Mr. Mulliner]

Thanks for your prayers, you two. I'll report on my nephew when I get more.

I'm still very unfamiliar with my new employer, Vanderbilt University. But just now I came across this editorial which I consider good news about the new university president.

Vanderbilt's Politically Incorrect Chancellor Bucks the System

[Molly Pitcher]

Thanks for the ping to the Frontline on Faith show. Have posted the info to my church's listserve, and am hopeful it'll be a worthwhile show, even if Frontline....

Okay. Back to work.

[Mr. Mulliner]

You'll like this one, I think.

George W. Bush: The Marathon President

[Molly Pitcher]

Yes! That seems to be a new site to me...

[bevlar]

http://www.skeeterbites.com This is a site where you can type in a zip code and get the "skeeter forecast" anywhere in the US.

According to this, skeeters are heading for Oregon.....well, that coincides with the report we are actually going to have a chance for rain tomorrow...figures.

Prayers to all who are in need.....

We found something interesting buried in the study we cleaned out this weekend: An old protest flyer from the late 60s at the Univ. of Ill.

It says SMASH ILLIAC IV,

and promises workshops and teach-ins and members of the Black Panther party, members of various anti-war groups and music all day!

These flyer were routinely handed out on the Quad, and neither my husband nor I participated in these events. That's my disclaimer! LOL!

Probably need to send this off to the Univ. archives, where I once took a class and worked........
