[The Mayor]

Beautiful layout Billie..

[MeekOneGOP]

Hey, thank you !

Are ya'll getting any rain down that way ?? It rained last night and we've had more showers this morning. It's still raining.

Much welcomed in January, too, I guess. We need the rain, and I understand January and August are typically our dryest months ...

[Billie]

Oh, yes, I 'hoped' you would be here today for this one, Maggie Marine! Knew if you were here, you would hail your brothers and sisters, and have some neat graphics as well as stories to tell!

Some will remember this when I posted it two years ago.

(((((Rus)))))) and (((((dutchess))))))

Happy FRiday to you both. Rus - thank you for your words of inspiration once again.

[Kudsman]

Oh good, here you are. Sorry for being a little impatient, but I already brought a cake over to yesterday's thread. With your permission I'd like to leave another one here.

Happy 1st cyborg. (again) :-)

[Kudsman]

I meant to ping you also to #45

[dansangel]

You did *not* need to lose 10 lbs, dear Lady, judging from that picture. Had you posted that photo on the FReepercise thread, I would have cut you down to *half* of the exercises!

:-)

hehe...thanks! running out to get my coffee LOL

[LadyX]

Rumor has it, Billie, that when a certain Naval Diver
was Freeping in California,
he substituted *This Sign* for his Free Republic one!

[Kudsman]

The Few, The Proud. This country's greatness is rooted in those willing to give their all. A squid offers thanks to all the Jarheads that have ensured (and continue to ensure) our freedoms and way of life.

....a quilting injury -- a small scissor cut -- to my left forefinger.

Awwwwww :( - did you have to have stitches? (and if so, were they done by hand?) :) I guess I just want to be like you and the rest and have a hand injury. It seems all the fad.

LOL! Well, believe me, if I could have chosen, I would at least have chosen my RIGHT hand! (so many things are just not possible for me to do, like....I can wash my hair, but can't do a thing with it afterwards! I can't sign a check 'cause it looks like hen scratching! I can zip my jeans with one hand, but can't button them, can't open a jar, or cut my meat...on and on) Your hand better?

Actually, yes, thank you. Swelling is almost gone and only pain is when I forget and 'turn' or 'twist' or lift anything much heavier than a piece of paper. :)

[Billie]

I bet it locked up because it's so cooooooooold!

LOL!

[LadyX]

I used my telephoto lens to scan the Other Side of South Carolina,
and found Cousin Dixie thusly - - -

Wake up and Report for Duty, Miss Whistling Dixie !!!

[LadyX]

Not knowing in what state you reside, Kudsman, in The South, you probably would have registered as Kudzuman, denoting 'Very Strong and Powerful'..|:>))

[knighthawk]

Thanks! I need that. I hate the cold.

[The Thin Man]

Wow Billie, you really went far back on this oldie but goodie.

Also, I have to say I'm fascinated with your hostess graphic. It tells a lot about what's going on behind the scenes and some of its not pretty.

Of course your head is the highest. Hogging the spotlight!

Not surprising dansy has somehow bullied her way into second-in-command.

Then there is poor Aqua being shunned by the rest of you. How cruel of you to publicly shame her like that.

:-)

[LadyX]

Okay - you have wrung from me, respecting greatly the likes of you, display of this emblem:

(Of course, bearing the fact we are
The Best Part of the Navy!!)

[The Thin Man]

(TMan - you did declare this is "Be kind to The Dutchess Day," didn't you?)

Absolutely not! Why would I ever declare such a thing?

Lady, you've been misinformed.

[Billie]

Morning, Sistah! Thank you! I do hope g'nad is around today.

PING, PING, PING! G'NAD!!!!
