QUOTE OF THE DAY: From the Presidential Radio Address, 4/16/05:
American families and small businesses across the country are feeling the pinch from rising gas prices. If you're trying to meet a family budget or a payroll, even a small change at the pump can have a big impact.
America's prosperity depends on reliable, affordable and secure sources of energy. And today our energy needs are growing faster than our domestic sources are able to provide. Demand for electricity has grown more than 17 percent in the past decade, while our transmission ability lags behind. And we continue to import more than one-half of our domestic oil supply.
Every source of power that we use today started with the power of human invention, and those sources have served us well for decades. Now it's time to apply our knowledge and technology to keep the American Dream alive in this new century. There is nothing America cannot achieve when we put our mind to it. And I urge Congress to work out its differences and pass an energy bill that will help make America safer and more prosperous for the years to come.
Oops!!! Why did I think you lived in London! *sigh* Just gotta pay more attention! LOL!

Don't worry I live about 60 miles from London just a few miles from the Channel Tunnel and Canterbury.
Welcome to FR from down under!
What do you mean kissing at the funeral? Are you talking about post #167? The picture was taken in 2000. At least that is what it says in the properties.
You're probably better of not living in the city! So noisy and all! I'll have to get out my atlas and look ya up!
No, it's the second pic in post #131. They are kissing at the Pope's funeral. Fine by me. Some seem to question the propriety.
Here is our local pub
Yes the picture was taken on an air strip in Ohio during the 2000 campaign.
aww how sweet. Thanks for that one! It's the cutest...hehe I like how she has her arms folded. Was he talking to her there or smelling her hair? lol
Kewl pictures! I have only been to England once, but fell in love with it. Of course, didn't have enough time but just to do the tourist-y things. I hope to get to come back again some day! Is that the place you and your friends met for lunch the other day when you posted your pic?
I thought so...well it's very cute, thanks for posting it.

Thanks! A neat website!
Oh, I missed those pictures in reading through the dose.
I don't have any problem either with them kissing at the funeral. At least they're not falling asleep, as a former first couple are said to have done!
Isn't it about 4:20am there? When do you sleep, girl?!!!!
Welcome! I hope you enjoy it. Drop in anytime. It's GREAT! The best part are the pictures. By the way I'm Laurie, I agree it's kinda odd they are kissing at a funeral. But, it's so sweet! Plus, I think she was comforting her.
No but I ususally go there for lunch on a Wednesday with a couple of friends but they do not serve food in the evening.
