BTW...The mediaWhores have been awfully quite over the numbers of the crowd that paid their last respects to Mr. Reagan. Anyone here know the actual count?

I'm now down to using the TP - no more kleenex in the house.......

Thanks for posting this.

This morning's service was magnificent. Because Reagan lived a long and full life, the morning was triumphant. "Amazing Grace" indeed.

This evening, the boy of Illinois and the politician of Washington, returns as the man of California.

The West reclaims him.

I assume that is Pacific Time, right ??? .....

I think so .. but don't quote me on it

Sigh, will be missing the live broadcast tonight, but will be taping C-SPAN and checking in here later.

One of my best friends called this afternoon. He just got laid off of his job 3 weeks ago abd his fiancee broke up with him two days ago and is moving out so we feel that he needs us more tonight.

Will check in later. Really hate to miss this, but I feel so bad for this guy & he would do the same for me,

[Mo1]

I'm getting close to using that

I've got plenty in the house.........pulled out the last packet of Kleenex after Lady Thatcher's.....even hubby needed some then.

[Friend of thunder]

Really hate to miss this, but I feel so bad for this guy & he would do the same for me

Reagan would approve. Prayers for friend.
