Just dug them out of the med cabinet.....it's probably too late but it can't hurt...
Hi Emily.
No clue on today's toons.
Even if you start taking them now, it'll probably keep it from becoming as bad as it would without them.
ME TOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Beautiful Christmas card!!
A lot better thank you the cold seems to be in retreat
Yes, it is. My first one. I was very surprised to get one.
You had a cold? Are you taking your Vitamin C?
HOw's your mom and dad?
Wow! I hear ya! I daresay she is bordering on "hot" in that picture.
I heard him speak today, and he was eloquent in his support of the President and his love of America. He is a great choice!
They look like a couple of kids ;-)
Dubya was with his daughters this year for their birthday. Last year he not only missed thanksgiving with his wife, daughters & parents , he also missed their 22nd birthday while he was with the GIs.. I am guessing the Men in Iraq would have enjoyed having Jenna & Barbara there with the president .. they would surely make sure the girls had a memorable birthday.
in case anyone missed the Fine Mind Thread yesterday on the Twin's birthday(lots of family pix as well as of girls):
I have not taken a vitamin since I was a child but I do not get more than one cold a year so I can't be doing to bad.
Mum OK settling in the home well IMHO, dad not too bad did you get my FR mail at the weekend.
You're right--one cold a year is not bad at all.
FRmail to you! :-)
Thank you for the Dose. It's appreciated!
MamaB...I'm sure Jan would have loved the lights, shiny bulbs and other Christmas decorations. By decorating..even just a little bit..you'd be remembering her joy in these merry things. What a gift that would be.
(((MamaB))) Hugs and prayer heavenward during this difficult time
He's a wise leader and I'm sure makes his choices very carefully. He's confident in his choice. :o)
Thats a great color on Laura.
I directed a couple of people who are interested in a regular dose of Barney photos to this thread. They were asking about a Barney ping list, and I don't think there is one. The dose is the best place to come for photos of the First Family and their terriers.
