Hopefully when the rivers recede after the big rains the past couple of weeks, I will be able to do some serious fishing.

Sounds like prime conditions for fishing. Let us know if you catch the big one.

God Bless Our Military ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Below are names of some of our FReepers' loved ones who are serving our country. If you have someone you would like to add, please address a post to Billie; Mama_Bear; Dansangel; Dutchess; Aquamarine and we will add their name to this list. As we pray for them, we pray also for all our nation's leaders, and military personnel, and their families and friends. May God hold them close to His heart.

~~~~~~~~~~   ~~~~~~~~~~

We ask Lord, that You guide the leaders of our great country in their hour of decision. The burden that has been placed on their shoulders is overwhelming. We ask that with Your infinite wisdom You guide them gently to the right decisions.

Please give us the strength, Lord, to get through each difficult and devastating day that faces each of us and our country. Protect and guide our Military that are now being called to duty, strengthen them in their trials and temptations; give them courage to face the perils which beset them; and grant them a sense of your abiding presence wherever they may be; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Great essay and layout presentation.

Sure glad we have an expert to expertly present what the experts have to say.

[Diver Dave]

I'm going to have to leave for a while and do some Christmas shopping. Will be back early evening.

Whadja get me? Whadja get me? Whadja get me?

[dutchess]

Wow John...what a biting essay...Love you man!!!!

Aqua. Great job. I glanced at the essay last night and had NOT A CLUE how I would illustrate it. You did great sistah!!!! Hope you got a lot of Christmas shopping done...I might try this weekend (ugh...in the BEST of circumstances I HATE SHOPPING! (except for grocery stores....I LOVE grocery stores...especially out of town or "speciality ones" Poor hubby when we travel abroad...most people like museums, churches etc...me...give me a small village grocery....may not buy anything but sure like to look...wierd huh?) ((((aqua)))))

[GailA]

Thank you, I'm still an emotional wreck and the physical stuff acting up sure doesn't help it.

[Aquamarine]

What would we do without the experts. ;)

[Aquamarine]

Whadja get me? Whadja get me? Whadja get me?

Didn't know what to get you so I'm giving you some money to get whatever you want. :)

[Aquamarine]

(except for grocery stores....I LOVE grocery stores...especially out of town or "speciality ones"

I have an aunt that's like that. Whenever she goes to a new town she loves to go to the grocery store and look around (she's also a great cook).

[Aquamarine]

Sorry to hear that (((Gail))). Know this is a rough time for you, just have to believe that things will get better one day.

[dutchess]

I'm still an emotional wreck and the physical stuff acting up sure doesn't help it.

Oh Gail...I've been so "self-absorbed". I can't imagine what you are going through. Please know my prayers and love are with you. Give that Rocky an extra special hug. Think DK would like that. (((((gail))))))

[Aquamarine]

Hope you and your dad are having a good night. Know how hard it can be to lose a loved one this time of year (((Dutchess)))

"Good evening, dear JohnHuang2 -- Maggie Malone here.
LadyX has been detained, and asked me to do a survey for her on your essay this week.

Glad to oblige, I csught a few reactions of some so-thrilled-to-be-so-wrong sore losers umm -- overjoyed liberals -- on the subject of the "free failing economy."

As for "Which means experts got it right but the economy got it wrong. Again." -- here is one:

"But Terry assured us all we had to do was hate Bush..."

"Again, the reason given for why he thinks things are gloomy
is because experts got it right
but the economy got it wrong."

"But that sounded so utterly profound -- "

Last but not lest, was this gal --

"Summing up the economy overall, real GDP rose 3.9% in the third quarter; DOW rose 5% in November; employment rose to 94.6% rate in November; as profits keep rising, earned income keeps rising, spending keeps rising, investment keeps rising, exports keep rising and oil prices keep falling, core inflation remains tame; ditto interest rates. Armed with these statistics, experts say the economy looks grim. If only Kerry had won on Nov. 2. Then would our economic future be safe."

"I think I need some Dean Scream Therapy..("

(Love whatcha do, JH2!!)

[Aquamarine]

So happy you could fill in for LadyX (who must be on assignment again).

Your survey is quite funny Maggie.

[Darksheare]

Good evening.

[LadyX]

"Your survey is quite funny"

Consider the subjects, Aqua, and how strange is their inability to process anything normally!

One wants to yell at them,
"For pete's sake, get some good ideas and develop them, instead of whining and whimpering and distorting and spewing hatred..."

What a sad and miserable lot they are....

[LadyX]

How art thou, Darks of The North??

[Darksheare]

The usual for me.
Wandering, clanking chains, moaning ethereally.
Unfortunately, I don't scare too many people with that.
*sigh*
/ joke


It's been an interesting day.
Had a troll from the United Arab Emirates show up.
He was shown the door.

[LadyX]

There was one other fella among those I intervewed,
but I couldna get a word outta him...

What a pathetic lot, those libs...

(Guess Pippin has several like him in her office..:))

[Darksheare]

I got info out of him.. not the info I wanted, but I got info out of him.
