As we settle into the nighttime of despair, fret not, for the Sun will rise again!!
Good morning!!
We, here, will never forget those who died on September 11, 2001, as we seek to protect the Republic from all who will do her harm!!
Sorry for late start--jet lag.
Algore will be testifying on the Hill about globull warming, and will also deliver to the Congress "hundreds of thousands" of letters and postcards he has received demanding climate change legislation.
Meanwhile, the European Union says mankind must keep the increase in planet temperature to less than two degrees Celsuis over the next century (yep-100 years)--but the goal is alledgedly unattainable.
One of the reasons it may be unattainable is that globull warming is so bad, that Mars is heating up. So that means that mankind has somehow caused the Sun to get hotter? It's all George Bush's fault.
For AMERICA - The Right Way, I remain yours in the Cause, the Chairman.
OH! How wish those words were true, stopem. Unfortunately, depending on who we have to oppose her if she does make it to the ballot, she has approximately a 50-50 chance. 40+% of the electorate will vote for her because she is a CRAT. They would vote for the CRAT on the ballot if it was the infamous 'yellow dog', a chimpanzee, a reincarnated Hitler, a mosquito, or even a banana plant. And 40+% will vote for our Republican candidate. That leaves the 20+-% that are VERY A-political that we MUST win over or our next Commander in Chief is going to be the wicked witch, Obama Hussein Osama bin Laden, or a dark horse from the CRAT or even possibly a mosquito.
Oh yea! for the water. And am so glad you considered using the suggestion. Many think it silly. But my Mother understood. I was the middle child...the problem child..the daughter who always dragged stray, hurt animals home. I am 60 now and still doing it. Have a rescue in one spare bedroom at this very moment.
What a wonderful story! I had the pleasure of meeting the dog who was the recepient of the pacemaker. He is a beautiful, big ol' yellow lab. He lives on a farm outside of San Antonio, where I live. I talked recently to his "primary caretakers"...Over two years since he was given the pacemaker, he is again chasing sticks, aggravating the sheep and helping to drive in the cows. Mama would be pleased. She was a farm girl herself. :-)
My grandmother had a mutt named Shep. She raised chickens outside the small town I was raised in. To sell the eggs. As dusk fell, Grandma would tell Shep to put the chickens up...He herded them all in..would come sit and give her a huge smile....she would ask him..Did you get them all..off he would go..laughing out loud..running around the chicken house to make sure...back he would come...another huge grin..Grandma would shut the door to the hen house...Feed Shep...all was right with the world.
By the way, I don't recall seeing you on ATRW before but, I do miss things..WELCOME!
Your life sounds wonderful. I was raised with horses. My other grandmother, paternal one, was a horsewoman. Successful in a man's world. She taught me to ride English. Starting when I was three. I now have a four year old grandson. I cannot imagine him sitting a huge beast like that and riding as I did. Hopefully, when husband retires, he can take this country girl back to where she belongs. Tho I do love San Antonio. Your stories make me "homesick" for the country. And the beasts.
Thank you for your kind welcome.
Yes -- I second that....welcome !!!!
WE moved up here just before Katrina hit, I moved in with my daughter as my wife died 6 years ago and they built me a 'shack in the back' (I wanted to respect their privacy) and often wonder whey had not done this years ago, I love it up here.
And thank you kindly also!
Your daughter is blessed to have you there. Katrina certainly dealt ya'll a blow, didn't she? I am glad all survived. Bless you and your family.
Back in the late 50's I was at Lackland for my basic, went to Alaska from there.
The whole coast is trying to come back, slowly but surely.
I have met so many who did their basic at Lackland. My husband did his at Ft. Bliss. Then Ft. Hood. 2nd Armored Division. Same division my father was in during WWII. Hell on Wheels. Division is no more. But I have the patches still.
I liked that town, lots to do there. I even went to the Alamo.......
The Commiemom is about to be brought up short...
