You're so welcome Utah Girl. I think we should all get together sometime for a Jane Austen festival, don't you?? With strong emphasis on Colin Firth, he, he...

[Molly Pitcher]

And with this, I've reached my limit for one day...

NKorea threatens first strike against US

Night everyone....Prayers for us all....

[tillacum]

Nita and lysie, are you two talking about the chuckie guy who wants gun control, yet cuddles up to the Colt Company for money? That sweetums?

[Utah Girl]

Mmmmmmm (now I sound like the youngest daughter in P&P, sighing over the men.)

[Molly Pitcher]

Remember the mother???!! Gosh, she somehow managed not to go over the top, but it was a close thing..

[Utah Girl]

She was so silly. I just loved the whole of P&P, no flaws as far as I can remember. :)

Not Tar-jay! That's too francais ...... not gonna support those weenies at all! I definitely did my shopping at Target! ...... LOL!

And, yes, it's been a tiny little respite for me. I postively hate shopping for clothes and groceries ...... but enjoy looking at decorator items and such. And I could spend my life prowling around office supply stores, hardware stores, and cloth shops ...... wouldn't buy much but would have a ball looking ....... *grins*

"What year did Joe Kennedy make his appeasement speech?"

Good question, and I was trying to remember that as I posted the above. The best I could remember from last night was 1939, but don't hold me to that. And google wasn't very good either, but I did find this

"In 1937, Kennedy began hinting to Roosevelt that he still "deserved a reward" for his role in the election. Roosevelt, who had become mistrustful of Kennedy, chose not to give him a cabinet post and instead appointed him ambassador to England. - Kennedy's ambassadorship coincided with the beginning of World War II in Europe; and throughout his three year tenure, Kennedy argued against American and British involvement in the war. Even as the Nazis rolled into France, Joe expressed his support for Hitler and maintained a position of appeasement toward Germany. - In May 1940, Winston Churchill was elected British Prime Minister. The rise of Churchill brought an end to appeasement, and hastened Joe's decline. When Kennedy publicly proclaimed that "Democracy is finished in England," Roosevelt called for his resignation."

I also searched several good "conservative" histories and biographies that I have, and although many discuss Pappa Joe Kennedy, none of them pin point this exact speech or the date.

Mansfield Park is my younger daughter's favorite of all of them. Actually, all of us like it a lot. It's more serious than the rest of them, but it is, IMO, absolutely excellent.

I highly recommend it!

[lysie]

Sweet dreams you two.

Yes, till. That is the little chuckie sweetheart we are talking about. ACKK!!

[lysie]

[Utah Girl]

You're so thoughtful, I thought maybe the documentary said what year it was. Thanks. The more you dig on the Kennedys, the more you realize how reprehensible the whole clan is. And yet the left and the media dumps all over the Bushes. Sigh.

[Utah Girl]

Oh, what wonderful pictures. :)

[Utah Girl]

Thanks for the high recommendation. I'll give Mansfield Park a whirl.

You have Target in NC???

I worked in their buying offices back when there were only nine stores.......all of them in the Minneapolis area. About a hundred years ago.......or so it seems.

[kayak]

We didn't have them in the eastern part of the state when we lived there so only became familiar with Target when we moved here 9 years ago. I think they have them in eastern NC now ..... that part of the world is the last place to get anything.

How much SNOW do you have? Enough to get excited about?

..... We might have some wintery mix tomorrow ....... :-(

... "wintery mix" includes such lovely things as freezing rain and sleet ...... YUCK!

[Utah Girl]

I love Target, my favorite store...

[MozartLover]

We have about 9 or 10 inches on the ground. A goodly amount.:) It's an accumulation from 3 storms within a week. I love it.:)

We're going to Mpls. for Mom's 80th this weekend so I'm glad it decided to snow last weeken; driving should not be a problem.......but it is COLD..............hoo yah.

[MozartLover]

I like Target, too. I was so excited when we FINALLY got one here last year.

They are a much nicer store now than they were originally; better quality merchandise, etc.

We have one of the "Greatland" varieties here; with groceries, etc.
