U.N. inspectors took off for Iraq on Monday to resume.

Storms with a mix of snow and freezing rain has left thousands of people throughout the New England without power.

Certification of senator-elect Jim Talent is this week with swearing , hopefully, soon to follow.

Dems are at it again and will continue to try to block another Bush nominee, appeals court nominee of U.S. District Judge Dennis Shedd.

The former president Carter returns to the White House as a Nobel Peace Prize laureate and guest of President Bush. I hope he brings his manners with him

A letter, gentle lady.

[nicollo]

By all means. Here's the quotation again, plus the citation:

I shall not weight my message to you with an expression of my respect for the concentrated power in this country that you gentlemen represent. The safety of the country lies in the fact that you neutralize each other, and in the growing conviction of the country that the truth is not in you, but that it lies between you... I am not thereby consigning you all to an Ananias club, however strong your desire for close association under some banner, but I am explaining to you how each one of you saves the country from the rest.

-William Howard Taft, addressing an Associated Press dinner in New York from Boston by telephone, from "Taft ‘phones Speech Here from Boston," New York Times, April 26, 1912

Just tell your friends at the coalition to buy my book. Out next Spring, from McFarland & Co, William Howard Taft and the First Motoring Presidency: 1909-1913

[I don't like the title, either. Mine was, "American Colossus: A Friendly Reassessment of the Motoring Presidency of William Howard Taft, 1909-1913"... authors have little say in these things.]

Dog - Are you still waiting to hear from WC???

I have first-hand experience with WC's in Europe, and talking to them does not usually do the trick....sometimes money is required....

[Utah Girl]

Back at ya.

It depends if the hole is in the floor or not.

[Bitwhacker]

Hmmmm.....I know the type....tall, yet kinda short....fat, yet kinda thin....but always -- ALWAYS -- they know about the HOLODECK!!!!! Oh, the shame......

[Molly Pitcher]

OMG!

Yep! These older folks are desparate to maintain their independence, and caution & common sense go out the window.

That's all right, Mr. M. We all use the thread for venting, dumping....

tomorrow I will have to pose a question, needing advice.

You're right, Monday could be part of the problem.

Have you made a list...of the positives....negatives....

Sometimes writing it down, seeing the thoughts on paper helps you to make a decision.

It's only normal that you might spend some time searching for the right course for YOU, the best way for you to use YOUR talents.

So your Vanderbilt experience, even if you leave it behind, isn't necessarily without its value.

Volley!

[Mr. Mulliner]

Very cool, Nicollo. I'll be glad to push your book.

Incidentally, I used to work in publishing (sort of), doing proofreading, writing critiques and even doing a few major edits.

[Molly Pitcher]

Yes, Utah Girl, my friend's brother lives near the parents, and he had to put a stop to this operation....

[Bitwhacker]

Is it free if the hole is NOT on the floor????

[Guenevere]

#233...Dog, I respect you, and you know I do!

But I don't believe in a New York minute he was chaste & true to his wife!

There are too many people who can & have testified otherwise!!

Now, he may or may not have had Addisons.....but I still claim his lifestyle was part of his undoing!
Good grief, Dog, he was 'seeing' a mobster's girlfriend!!

[Molly Pitcher]

I have first-hand experience with WC's in Europe, and talking to them does not usually do the trick....sometimes money is required....

Poor Dog has to bribe the Workmen's Compensation people???? What kind of country are we living in???;^))

.......Or are you serious???

[Mr. Mulliner]

Grrrr! I just got a negative to add to the top of the list. The lastest e-mail is a "statement for peace." It's a pledge to "nonviolent resistance" by a Ground Zero rescue worker. That is absolutely obscene, in my book. The writer is trying to speak for the victims of 9/11 and oppose any violent response to that act of terrorism. Now I've heard everything!

[Molly Pitcher]

Very sad, misguided, and ultimately leading to more atrocities.....

[Bitwhacker]

Nooooo...WC's....The Loooo.....were you talking about something ELSE?????

[still lurking]

It depends on the meaning of is.

If said hole is on the floor and most likely readily available to all and asundry it IS free.

But, if said hole is in an area free from sidewalk traffic and bordered by walls of any kind, it IS not free.

[Dog]

It was all media hype....:-)

[Molly Pitcher]

Yes! I thought you meant Water Closets, but then you mentioned TALKING to them for Pete's sake, so what was I to think?????

[Guenevere]
