Good Morning LJA. It’s nice to see you here.
Good Morning Everyone! It’s a busy couple of days ahead.
Good morning. Keep praying!
Molly, I’m sorry the flu got you. I hope you get better soon.
Thanks, Molly! Praying hard for a McCain-Palin victory tomorrow!
Have a great day everyone!
My South Africa travelers just finshed customs and are heading to the first Dulles Airport restaurant they can spot for a hearty breakfast.
Jem...that Johannesburg-Dakar flight is showing it is still enroute - 12 hours late now. I got a ping from "flight-aware" telling me to CALL the airlines for information regarding Flight 207. Good thing I am not totally feint of heart.
Glad to see the "perky Katie" is flustered :-)
PRAY WITHOUT CEASING!!!
That’s just the way international travel is. I think Raven would back me up on this. When traveling, you need to be prepared for schedule changes, cancellations, and hidden fees. At best an itinerary is a rough plan. The key when these things occur is to be patient, persistent and polite. And stubborn.
I’m glad the travelers are at Dulles.
Good morning all. Sure have needed Freerepublic lately, I am hoping that my computer-wise daughter can get my new hard drive installed soon. I would like to post more but my computer freeze up too much right now.
I am praying hard for this nation.....also prayers for all that need them.
By the way, I heard on the news last night that Phillip Berg has a new suit at the Supreme Court this morning - Sutor is getting it :-( He is asking for a production of Barry's official birthcertificate. He says that zero had a "certificate of live birth". In 1961, Hawaii had a law whereby a family could reguest one. Berg believes zero has a legal Kenyan birthcertificate and has that live birth one his Mother filed. Berg says he absolutely was not born in the US.
Another point he made...the reason why zero won't produce his college records is because he received "foreign student" aid during his college years. Naturally, he would have had to show that Kenyan birthcertificate.
Then I have a question...when I got my passport, I have to present my official birthcertificate - not a copy.
What do you all think?
Didn’t finish my thought :-) So, does Barry have a passport?
So sorry it was the flu, please take care of yourself, now and don’t overdo. We miss you when you’re not here.
OH YUM, lysie. Thanks for breakfast, you are such a dear, now off for coffee.
Barry has had to have a passport to travel from the U.S. to Pakistan, Indonesia, and 2/3 times to Kenya. (The home of his birth). I don’t think his “grandmother” half sister and half brother would “tell a lie” about being with his mother during his birth.
I hate to disagree with you. But it is very common, in some countries, for people to lie. They may lie to give themselves more status or because they think the lie is what the questioner wants to hear. We have to be careful in our foreign country to ask questions which don’t give a clue to what we want to hear. For instance, we don’t ask “does this road go to the beach?” The local sees our picnic stuff and realizes we want to go to the beach so the answer is “yes.” Instead we’ll ask, “what is the best way to get to Depapre?” Then we’ll get the best directions.
The family in Kenya may think it gives them more status to have been present at birth. I don’t give them credibility without other verifying information.
I know this doesn’t support our position. I’m not of the culture that necessarily gives the questioner the hoped-for answer. ;)
Thanks for the breakfast, lysie...yummy.
Molly, sorry you are ill, hope you get to feeling better real soon.
Last week, someone stole all the McCain/Palin signs in our little country town. I called the police and our little newspaper. My sister was visiting from Florida and we made a new sign for my yard since it is hard to get McCain signs.
I was gone the rest of the week and when I got home over the week-end, I check to see what was said in the our little newspaper. I was sooooo disappointed, they wrote the article as though both parties had lost signs. My neighbor’s Obama sign is still there...has been there since July. I live on Main St. and all the Obama signs are there on Main St. (all 5 of them) and all the McCain signs were gone...didn’t take a genuis to know what had happened but our little paper couldn’t print the truth.
Praying for this nation and it’s future.
Good morning. I was wondering where you went. Glad you stopped in to let us know.
Lysie, how are you? I was telling my sisters about your surgery, is there a name for the type of surgery you had on your hip? It was amazing how fast you were back on your feet.
Thank you for the information Jem. Guess I’ve been to Westernized. That type of thinking is beyond me...I’ll keep that information. Sometimes I’m just too gullible.
I guess we’ll never know where he was born.
[Note – obviously, some of this stuff is a stretch, trying to make for good reading, but much of this could, in fact, happen. Think about it before you vote tomorrow!]
