Thought for the Day "If reality wants to get in touch with me, it knows where I am." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Handy Latin Phrases
when describing our troops . . . in Latin:
suaviter in modo, fortiter in re
"gently in manner, strongly in deed"

On this Day in History 1944 General Dwight D. Eisenhower,
future President of the United States,
received his fifth star
Happy Bill of Rights Day!

ACDC ~ For Those About To Rock

I don't want to have a temper tantrum... I am in the middle of a full blown tantrum! Oh spotsy belle has nuttin on me and my tantrum..... Seriously want to know why? Comeon ask me why!

[MoJo2001]

Samoa and American Samoa aren't that big. The likelihood of being related is greater than not. I sent information about ProudPatriots to three of my cousins that could really help our cause.

I'll get back to you when I get a definitive answer. My aunties (their moms) have all stated "they'd love to help", but that's just what Bobby pulled on me. I'll get a better feel when I speak to them on the phone.

[Kathy in Alaska]

No, I don't!! LOL!! I'm leaving them out. So there!! You know you could have taken them out. I have been known to do so. Hehehehe

We love "u's" in our names. Except I have only 2 "u's" on my birth certificate and it's a long name. Not too bad. LOL!

[Kathy in Alaska]

I like gingerbread cookies.

Sounds like some good lessons today.

Sometimes you have to wing it: In snowless Independence, Kan., 4-year-old Janina Richmond-Reck makes an angel out of leaves.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Michael's wish: Five-year-old Michael Rusing desperately wanted to play in the snow, but his family worried that his inoperable brain tumor made him too sick to travel to the mountains. So Joe Anstett (third from right) enlisted the help of a radio station and Mount Baker Ski Area to truck snow to Michael's Bellingham, Wash., home. Soon Michael, with the help of Brian Kent, was sledding like an Olympic luger.
