Good Morning HLL. Wow, looks like I need to go to the bookstore.

I hope you have a terrific day!

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

This is going to be a crazy day. I got up early, mowed the lawn, watered the flowers, put my linens in the laundry, vaccumed, showered, made breakfast... all before 8:45am. I did all that because I have so much office work today that I needed an early start....

Only problem is now I am so tired I can barely stay awake to do my work!

[SassyMom]

You are extremely ambitious! WHEW! I'm tired just listening to all you have done already. *smile*

Well, go take a power nap and then do your office work.

Are we ready for the mega hurl McCartney wedding pix with Chelsea and the Toon. (According to Cindy Adams)

Both made the guest list...

And Jen Aniston has come down with a rash from Brad's beard!! We predicted it first..

I just got this from hubby. Enjoy!

Hello Folks:
The following message is from Lt. Col. Rick, a career U.S. Air Force officer presently stationed at the Pentagon. The event he experienced in a Pentagon cafeteria occurred only this week. His message is as follows:

Cafeteria at the Pentagon

"I just witnessed something I don't think I'll ever forget. I was down near the cafeteria in the Pentagon meeting a friend for lunch and I see a very large crowd of people inside. I walk in and soon find myself standing less than three feet away from our Commander-in-Chief and right beside the Secretary of Defense (and a bunch of Secret Service folks). President Bush was walking around shaking hands and thanking all of us for what we do.

He kept saying to people "Don't Worry" -- as if to say, I've got it under control. He must have shaken 1000 hands or more. What particularly struck me was his presence - not a particularly large man in stature, but he had an aura of a giant - a smile on his face, yet you can sense he was a man on a mission - a man of purpose and conviction - there was just this feeling that he is THE MAN, and he is in charge - he had a quiet confidence that was deafening!

Then, a group of folks just behind me started singing God Bless America and, in no time, the entire room - which was packed - was singing the song. It was enough to give anyone goose bumps. If there was a dry eye in the place, I couldn't see it (probably because my eyes weren't too dry).

It was just one of those once-in-a-life-time experiences that I shall never forget. After God Bless America, there were a few chants of "USA-USA-USA," followed by a lot of applause. When President Bush finally made his way toward the entrance, he turned with his confident smile and waved at everyone, and the room just erupted in cheers and whistles and applause. I've been to professional football games where the noise wasn't that loud. It was just such a wonderful experience and it made me:

1) So very happy that George W. Bush is our president and Commander-in-Chief.
2) So proud to be an American.
Just thought I'd share."

WOW!! Isn't this memo great!

All set for the wedding pics. I saw one already of Twiggy arriving. She was bra-less. Is Chels really going to show? I thought Hillary grounded her because of last week's tabs? LOL....

[homeschool mama]

Some of us over on the Dose have read this book...wonderful doesn't come close to describing it! :o)

[daisyscarlett]

Morning SASSY; I have been thinking about you and wondering if your family is near the fire zone in Colorado? ..

[Carolina]

Wow! Thanks for sharing that.

We've had a lot of bashing the President around here lately that it's been painful to come to FR. Some days I think I've wandered into DU *shudder, shudder*.

[SassyMom]

Hi Daisy! No, my family is north of Denver. But, they are getting all of the smoke from the fire. I am really sad and frightened by these fires. The one south of Denver has burned 76,000 acres. The fire in Glenwood Springs has burned 10,000 acres. My mom said that it is so dry. Please pray for the safety for the fire fighters and the residents of these areas. Also pray for rain, they need moisture! There are fires in Durango and Trinidad also. Thank you for asking. So far my family is safe.

[SassyMom]

Thank you for sharing this. What an encouragement! GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!

[pubmom]

Inspiring read, thanks!

[daisyscarlett]

I certainly will pray for the safety of the residents of Colorado and the brave firefighters and, most of all, RAIN....

Flames soar near Crystal Peak at Lake George, Colorado in the Hayman wildfire June 10, 2002. A ferocious wildfire closing in on the outskirts of metropolitan Denver devoured tens of thousands more acres, doubling in size and forcing the evacuation of as many as 30,000 people, officials said.

I picked this book up at our local library. It's a rainy day here. A good day for a good read. Is there, or have you thought about, starting a Freeper book club discussion thread? Just wondering.

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

The Guild already has a mandatory weekly reading list. Those would include

The National Enquirer
The Globe
STAR Magazine,

along with Page Six.

I guess we would read hardcover books, but I wouldn't want it to cut in to our serious business.

:)

[SassyMom]

ROFLOL.... I love the reading list. hahahahaha

[Rita289]

Great! I should be able to keep up easy enough while waiting in the check-out line at the grocery store!

[Aggie Mama]

Can someone please answer the question: Why is it that naked women threads are posted in Breaking News, but the Guild is relegated to "chat/General interest"? I'm really sick of the gratuitous picture threads. It reflects poorly on FR and really alienates 50% of the readers to FR.
