We, here, will never forget thsoe who died on September 11, 2001, as we seek to protect the Republic from all who will do her harm!!
On the globull warming front: singer Sheryl Crow has an idea for saving the planet. When you use the rest room "we can make it work with only one square per restroom visit, except, of course, on those pesky occasions where 2 to 3 could be required."
Experts are predicting that gasoline will rise to around $4/gal this summer.

For AMERICA - The Right Way, I remain yours in the Cause, the Chairman.
It’s true kassie. Just within the last week, I disremember the date exactly. It was a blessing in the long run although hard.
Hello dear, I’ve been thinking about you. Lots of changes here in the last 24-36 hours...
kassie, we've been concerned about you. Kay died last week surrounded by her loving family, and at peace. She was buried on Sat.
(((kassie)))
Yes, it does. It truly does.
I am sitting here totally numb.
She called me every day when I was held up in a hotel room waiting for a hurricane to hit VA.
Not even my blood family called every day!
I feel like someone just hit me with a baseball bat.
I am so sorry I wasn’t here to send a last goodbye.
Lysie is so good to keep in touch with me, but there are days I don’t even turn the computer on.
I am so sorry to you all that I haven’t kept in touch.
I joined in Oct. of 98. So many changes since then. But the constant in it all was we had each other. You are dearest family to me. We’ve all been through so much together.
Oh my goodness, I can’t believe she’s gone. But am so happy her family surrounded her. She was so proud of her kids and grandkids.
(((((Kassie)))))
It seems so quick, too. In March she was continuing chemotherapy and then, she couldn’t tolerate it. There was only 3.5 weeks between her last post and her death.
I am going through challenging times right now, both Jack and I, and ATRW is one of my major support groups. We can't let Peach and her ilk destroy it or run us off.
I would say that ignoring the flamers and destroyers on this forum is the best reaction. Give them the rope and they will hang themselves.
On the 18th of April.
Just past 3 in the afternoon.
Like a sucker punch to the gut.
A day i’ll never forget.
I have missed you tho and often wonder how life is going for you.
Oh my. She was such a blessing to know.
Jemian- how is your family? All safe and healthy????
You and I joined at very close to the same time. We have been through much together. I am sitting here reading this melt-down and it seems surreal to me. Wham! Wham! Wham! Last week was just a bad week and there seems to be no end to the pain and sadness. ... I’m just going to dig in and hold on. I’ll evaluate things when the storm has passed.
MiaT has gotten repetitive and obtuse of late. Same graphics, same message and frankly, I keep missing her point. Peach, I haven’t seen the dark side of. Guennie’s post was an eye-opener.
Then, we notice the house is on fire, or other minor reality, and the internet is not so important.
After ten years of following this site, I have learned to smell the dust ups coming from ownership wanting to direct their creation in certain directions, from factions that want to flame-destroy their opposition on certain subjects and from Jim's realization that something has gone on long enough and to such a degree that he wants to make a wholesale sea-change and let everyone just deal with it.
I caught the smell of that dust-up about a month ago. I decided I would just stay uninvolved in the exchanges for the most part, and I have.
One of the biggest eye openers I have had was that some I disagreed with the most, were posters that when dealt with in real life were those I enjoyed the most and some that spoke chapter-and-verse in conservative positions the most like me were people that I did not enjoy.
Remember the Chesterton quote that I sometimes post that the Christianizing influence of dealing with our own relatives is the most humanizing and faith building experience we can ever have as oppossed to sitting in the club chatting with those we always agree with.
Jemian, that is a good idea... take a breath and re-evaluate in a few days
I need to check the radar..
Another memory of wonderful Kay. thanks for posting that kassie.
That's a good way of putting it. And, to me, it feels as if we're still getting punched.
Kassie, everyone is doing fine. Sort of. For a long time now, I've not felt 100%. But I've had no real symptoms. I just didn't feel well. On the 17th, I was asking the doc about pain medication as it was the 5th day of a headache with some accompanying dizziness and mild disorientation. Not enough for me to stop work, but enough to bother. Among the tests we did was a malaria slide. The slide itself was negative, but the lab indicated there appeared to be some infection.
So, yesterday I had my CDCs run. That revealed mild anemia but also a white count of 23. I was told the number is usually single digits. So, that means I have an infection somewhere. I'm going to see the doc later today to discuss this with her.
hmmmm could be post gall bladder stuff.
Hmmm. I hadn’t thought of that.
Frankly, I am not convinced that surgery was a good thing. I’m going to quit my diet before I lose all my addipose tissue which has adult stem cells. I’m just waiting until I can regrow a new one!
Prayers being said for your health.
I thought of you earlier this month.
My jasmine was in full bloom and smelling
so wonderful. I remembered you were the one that told me how to prune it.
Nita? It’s been so long...
I feel like I deserted the group of dear friends and family. Then to check in and find Kay is gone.
I am sure it was so hard on y’all.
You didn’t desert anyone hon.
It’s just nice to be able to say HI!! Again.
