A wonderful devotion this morning. Thanking God for His provision for all of those on Flight 1549 that day, and for providing for us daily.

I’m fixing to post an article about the NO COLA raises for several years, would appreciate some comments and bumping.

Isn’t he a doll? He is a ‘sheltie’ pup, Polly. Poms are also adorable!!! (Good luck on the house training!) Is he a pomeranian? How old is he?

Good Morning Yorkie. Hoping that Lindsy is doing much better.

Kioki is a Pomeranian, his color is almost apricot. I will try and take a photo of him today as he may be going home tonight. Our son and daughter in law bought him on a moment's notice in Hawaii on a recent trip. They were actually waiting for their flight, and saw him at a street fair, and bought him, a carrier, a permit and boomerang! On the flight home to Los Angeles. He is so smart and fun!! I am a hopeless dog and cat , yeh animal lover... minus of course the reptile family!

I had a viola link I had downloaded from my files..It was a viola when I posted it..I was going to use it recently and copied my original frame I had saved in text files and was stunned at what showed up in my frame.
I have several I had seen subbed..but the porn was shocking.

I don’t think you can save pictures at tinypic..You can at Photobucket..I have been using Photobucket to store my Sunday opening graphics so they won’t disappear or get subbed.
I download them the week I am going to post them so none of my “saved for later” graphics were in my Photobucket account. unfortunately. I use Photobucket to save my backgrounds..thank heavens..I lost most of what I had in my files.
I was stunned when I discovered that I was wailing over lost graphics (my doing)and the poor people in Haiti were losing lives and suffering so.
I have stopped wailing over pictures lost...

[MEG33]

Your baby graphics are so wonderful, Amy!

Its a Coming

Three strangers strike up a conversation in the passenger lounge in Bozeman , Montana , while waiting for their respective flights...

One is an American Indian passing through from Lame Deer, another is a Cowboy on his way to Billings for a livestock show and the third passenger is a fundamentalist Arab student, newly arrived at Montana State University from the Middle East.

Their discussion drifts to their diverse cultures. Soon, the two Westerners learn that the Arab is a devout, radical Muslim and the conversation falls into an uneasy lull.

The cowboy leans back in his chair, crosses his boots on a magazine table, tips his big sweat-stained hat forward over his face, and lights a cigarette. The wind outside is blowing tumbleweeds around, and the old windsock is flapping; but still no plane comes.

Finally, the American Indian clears his throat and softly he speaks, ‘At one time here... my people were many... but sadly, now we are few.’

The Muslim student raises an eyebrow and leans forward,’Once my people were few,’ he sneers, ‘and now we are many. Why do you suppose that is?’

The cowboy removes his cigarette from his mouth and from the darkness beneath his Stetson says in a smooth drawl . . .

‘I reckon that’s ‘cause we ain’t played Cowboys and Muslims yet,
but I do believe it’s a-comin’.

What surprised me about that video is Johnny Carson singing! I don’t remember him being in the Rat Pack! His voice was quite good I thought!

Gotta run....going to lunch with girlfriends today! We are all wanting to be free from snow.....LOL!

DEAR GOD: PLEASE HOLD OUR FALLEN

“‘I reckon that’s ‘cause we ain’t played Cowboys and Muslims yet,
but I do believe it’s a-comin’.”

We need to actually make serious war on the radical killers of islam, but with the bowing and scraping socialists in D.C. we are likely to do nothing until they hit us again, and we get a conservative in office. Face it, we are in dire straights and D.C. has no intent of actually doing anything but cementing their control over us. We’re far more likely to see the U.S. Army on our own streets before we see them in force on arab streets.

Note due to insensitivity on my part, arab and islam and muslim will be treated like the french, and NOT capitalized for the foreseeable future, or until the start of the 22nd century!

Father O’Malley rose from his bed. It was a fine spring day in his new Washington DC parish. He walked to the window of his bedroom to get a deep breath of air and to see the beautiful day outside. He then noticed there was a jackass lying dead in the middle of his front lawn.

He promptly called the US House of Representatives for assistance.

The conversation went like this: “Good morning. This is speaker Pelosi.

How might I help you?”

“And the best of the day te yerself. This is Father O’Malley at St.Brigid’s. There’s a jackass lying dead in me front lawn. Would ye be so kind as to send a couple o’ yer lads to take care of the matter?”

Speaker Pelosi, considering herself to be quite a wit, replied with a smirk, “Well now father, it was always my impression that you people took care of last rites!”

There was dead silence on the line for a long moment.

Father O’Malley then replied: “Aye, that’s certainly true, but we are also obliged to first notify the next of kin.”

Good one, Amy!
