That is funny! And there we are, except for LionsDaughter! However, if you look at the youngest, you can imagine LD. The girls look very much alike. They are, however, six years apart.

[Dog]

I guess....:-)

I am so news deprived today...

[Dog]

I think you look like Glenn Close......I really do.

[Jemian]

Jim, you are very sweet.

Has there been any pronouncements from the US government about North Korea? I'm reading that North Korea claims we're making noises against them, but I haven't read any charges on our part. In other words, it appears to me that NK is making this "crisis" up in order to seem important.

[Molly Pitcher]

Yes, slow, except for the Peterson business, and a few reports out of Iraq..sort of behind the scenes stuff...and the return of the former POWs to the US.

[Dog]

Someone on another thread who knows I dislike those Christy Lane commericals ......told me they are back......ugh!

[Molly Pitcher]

We're having ham and assorted side dishes.

Enjoyed your reports of Natchez and Vicksburg the other day. My parents took us there back in the early 60s, and it was fascinating.

There was a large antebellum house in Natchez we visited too.

I really sense the ghosts at all those old Civil War sites, don't you??

[Molly Pitcher]

LOL! Thanks for the warning.....I mean...oh! I've missed them soooo much! LOL!

[Jemian]

Well, well, Germany begins groveling!

I'm not as mad with Germany as I am with France. But this a quick acceptance of an apology will only promote more inscincerity. Germany only wants our business. ItHe isn't sorry enough - yet.

I have always felt one of the problems is that we often DO teach our kids but often there is too much dillution with what else we have in our lives..

The fast pace, the materialism, warped priorities.. all in the name of "doing what is good for our family" .. all interrupt the ability to form the connection for adults, as well as children with a close walk with God.

My Mission times in Haiti hit home the fact that people of the third world hunger for god's message & truths - it is easier for them to grow & be strong even in their hunger & problems w/abusive governments. It is easier to fight off the external, than the internal cancers..

Just my 2 cetns.

Have a wonderful Easter, friends.. Be safe & enjoy family, friends & worship.

For those of you who are Jewish, (and I know there are a few) I do hope that your Passover celebrations bring you also closer to our God and his promises.

Praise God that the war is "more gentle" now & that many of our troops are home with their families...

God bless you all!

Gd looked for ghost all the time we were there. I told her at the Texas memorial that the man holding the musket moved it up and down. She looked at it for the better part of an hour and you know, she finally saw it move, so she said. This trip was most impressive, and I have seen it lots of times over the years but it meant more to me this year.

I am off to bed for some much needed rest well, kinda. Must got finished with one of my d 'health dinners', bless her heart, think I am making myself a penut butter 'samwich' just for 'topping off'. See ya'll in the A.M.

[Iowa Granny]

Stay away from that peanut butter. It will clog your arteries. D know this, and so do you. You don't want to take any downtime to have your arteries Roto Rootered out, do you?

[Dog]

I want to wish everyone a Happy Easter and will see you all tomorrow afternoon...

Night everyone!

[Iowa Granny]

Rest well, FRiend.

[Mr. Mulliner]

Jemian, you know that Glenn Close played Cruella Deville, don't you?

[Chairman_December_19th_Society]

Good night, sir! Menana!

[gulfcoast6]

OK, YOU sound like my d so, two can't be wrong and besides, I AM OUT OF PNUT BUTTER!!!!

Chris Shays was just on Fox. I can't forgive this guy for the way he stood up for Clinton when he got caught with his pants down.

Off to try to get some sleep.

[gulfcoast6]

Forgot, already been rotor rooted, I know what you mean.

Today was work day, which meant radio time. C-Span ran a symposium with three ex-AG's, Nicholas Katzenbach (JFK/LBJ) Ed Meese (Reagan), and Richard Thornburgh (Bush). I wish I could have heard the entire discussion, as it was fascinating.

One topic was the Michigan affirmative action case. The moderator started it off by saying that the AG and the Soliciter General, Ashcroft and Olsen, wanted to file an amicus brief declaring "diversity" in admissions neither a valid public policy goal nor constitutional. The President's White House legal advisor argued against it, and the President ordered the AG and SG to change their breif accordingly. The panel was not concerned with the merit of the argument (other than to say that the brief filed was consistent with the plaintiff's argument). The discussion regarded the political influence upon the SG, particularly.

Meese said that Reagan never interfered with AG/SG filings. They all accepted the fact that the President is the boss. They also agreed that if the SG was so offended by the political pressure, he ought have resigned.

What I get from this is that the story of Olsen's offense at the President's directions was not so great as to demand resignation. That is, either Olsen suffers from pride of office, or his conviction, and offense, as purported by a certain (offensive) Freeper was not so great.

Nicollo is very amused.

LOL! I had to do a google search to find out who she iw. I am totally out of the pop star culture.But I figured my nearest and dearest would know so I did a quick poll of the three living here. Results:

"No way! He's crazy!" This was from the youngest.
"I'm not sure who Glenn Close is. And why would you be compared to a man, anyway?" This was from Jemians Terror. When told who Glenn Close is and who made the comparison, he said, "Mom, be wary of relationships formed on-line." LOL!
Finally, "Not all. No similarities. For starters, she's tall and you're..." Hubby is having to explain at church why he has a black eye. LOL!
