Good Morning !! Good Morning!!
Sorry I have been absent for several days. I’ve been under the weather. Hubby has had a very bad cough for several weeks so Tuesday and Wednesday were doctor days.
DH will need a MRI and a appointment to see a neurologist. He has some symptoms of Parkinsons the doctor wants to outrule. I’ve had a bad infection (UTI) and on anti biotic right now.

I am so concerned for the people of Haiti. I am suggesting to all that Samaritians Purse is a great organization to send donations if at all possible.

Yorkie...I’ve not found your post about possible problems with your dear yorkie! Prayers for you and the precious furry family member...Lindy.

Prayer for the Unborn

Lord I pray this frosty morn
for those souls that are not yet born
still a fetus in the womb
souls of love that you would groom

keep them from man's every whim
whose abortion rates are dismal grim
destroying those that you create
playing God with children's fate

they name it "choice" to soothe their guilt
dissolving that which you have built
to live and love in You abide
is ended in infanticide

of all the sins that man has wrought
this is the worst one of the lot
Lord, of this evil we repent
for killing of the innocent

woe to those on judgment day
who stand before you when you say,
" I judge you not, but to these I give,
these souls that you denied to live,

will judge you now at heavens gate
and hold the power of your fate
so hope their mercy will abound
for in you was no mercy found"

I took the liberty of changing FH's words from "Sunday morn" to "frosty morn" for today.
Hope you don't mind, Fish Hawk.

Good morning, Fish Hawk!

Hi Polly.

Joining you in praying for the poor people in Haiti. Also praying for good results on your hubby's tests.

Hope you are both feeling up to par very soon.

Hugs .... have a Terrific Thursday.

20%!!! pay increase in January??? Unconscionable!

President Obama recently approved a 2% salary increase for all federal employees effective January 1, 2010.

Members of the executive, legislative and judicial branch are due for an automatic 20% pay increase in January as well. All this on the backs of seniors who will not incur any COLA increases for several years.

For the first time in history, the Congress will not allow*
*an increase in the social security COLA (cost of living adjustment).*

*In fact, The Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation predicts there may*
*not be any COLA for the next three years.

However, the per person monthly Medicare insurance premium, part B, will be increased from the 2009 premium of $96.40 to $104.20 in 2010 and to $120.20 for the year 2011.

Please send this to all seniors you know. Remind them not to vote for any incumbent senator or representative.

The only way we can take this country back is to clean out those who have become career politicians and are driving our republic into the ground.

Gail, I received this via email a few days ago. Can you imagine the nerve of these people? Time to let them know We The People will not stand for this.

Good afternoon, GG. Thank you.

I decided that no-one would mind this re-run. :)

Have a Terrific Thursday.

[JustAmy]

Happy Thursday, Meg.
Wonderful graphic this morning. Thank you.

Been thinking of you and your file retrieval.
Hope things are going better today.
Try to take more chocolate breaks.

Have a Delightful Day.

Dittos to what Meg said, Yorkie.

Let us know how Lindy is doing.

Hugs ..... thinking of you.
