Hello again, Wolfstar! Very nice pictures of Condi in Iraq. How I admire her. Congratulations on your new job, too!
a walk along the beach. Very relaxing
A great place to be. We are lucky to have so
many great beaches here.
Lol. Aren't you cute? :)
LOL! While you were asking the mods to pull yours, I was asking them to pull this one. Although I usually try to get the weekend thread(s) posted by about noon or 1:00pm Pacific time, it's been a crazy couple of weeks for me. From now on, I'll make a point of giving you and the other Dose custodians advance notice if I can't put a thread up before around 5:00pm Pacific.
But Mike, thank you so much for caring enough to jump in. That was truly wonderful of you. :-)
Congrats on the new job Wolfstar! Thanks for the Pix, I'm enjoying looking at them. And very moving to see our good President console the grieving families.
Yes, I get confused with all of them. It may be expensive to live here but I have never lived in a place where relaxation is so close.
Dare I say without fear of getting flamed that not only has she traveled more but she has done so mainly alone (apart of course the usual entourage) which IMHO is because the President can trust her to spread his message rather than hers which may not have been the case with the previous incumbent.
His presidential duties certainly require him to do many, many different things, and I love the pictures of him comforting people, too. His compassion really shows through.
No one's fault, Mike. Sometimes life just gets in the way and throws us a glitch from time to time. No big deal. Truly.
For those who don't have a good handle on what's important in life, look at the face of that grieving widow at the top of the thread.
No arguments from me on that.
It does--you just can't fake that kind of compassion! Love that man!
Me too. So very much to admire about that man.
Hello again to answer your question which I had done on the other dose but when I went post it had been pulled.
Yes there was a game today, Charlton drew 2:2 with near neighbours Crystal Palace and because of results elsewhere Palace were relegated.
I will post a couple of photos of Charlton's mascot's in a few minutes.
No flames from me on that observation, not even one colored in yellow crayon, I definitely agree with you.
I WANNA BE FIRRRRRSSTTT! I want a toaster like that one! hubba-hubba! LOL!
He is a very compassionate man, and I am proud that he is our President.
Thanks for your kindness. Outsourcing has complicated so many lives. Company CEO's may see some benefit, but for us worker bees, it's just not worth the trouble.
I've said that because there are multiple layers of companies involved where I work. The client company, and several outsource vendors. The main one is IBM. I was working for them until this past Friday. The client company is not happy with them and has not been sending much work their way. So IBM has been laying off like crazy.
I was able to land a job directly with the client company. However, it's a contract for six months. It will take me through the end of the year. After than, who knows. But I'm much better off that the 50+ people who've been laid off just this month alone.
ANNOUNCEMENT:
If you missed the Tom Delay Tribute Dinner earlier this week, C-Span is re-broadcasting it NOW (9:30 PM EST)!
http://inside.c-spanarchives.org:8080/cspan/schedule.csp
NOTE: It plans to re-broadcast today's National Peace Officers Memorial Service featuring a speech by the President at 2 AM EST!
He sure does. That's why it takes a toll on him. A person has to genuinely feel emotions such as compassion and shared grief in order for it to take a toll on them.
Condi is spectacular. There's no other word to describe her. And I appreciate your kindness re my job.
