Bless your heart--you have a lot on your plate. I am glad your Dad is going to get to come home. At least that's one extra trip you won't have to make every day. Do you get some professional help with him at home?
When the president was at the G8 conference, I sent them an email and said:
"Do you think it would cause C-Span too much pain, to show America our President's meetings, speeches, etc., during the next fews days, while he's across the big pond? I'm not talking about the protest, either. While I realize you'd rather show that, America is interested in the President, not the trouble makers."
Lot of good it did. I don't remember them showing any of it. I could be wrong---have been before. :)
Speech was good--if you turned your TV to high volume. C-Span is worse than the MSM and PBS. At least the few times the MSM shows the President; they keep the volume where we can hear.
He was on a kick tonight about President Bush participating in a Huge coverup--something about the illegal aliens. What REALLY bothered me about it was that there was a Republican Congressman on the program giving all the "supposedly" dirt about it. Republicans really know how to eat their own.
I have been searching for photos of the twins and have quite a collection--some I'd seen before but many, I had not. What do you all think about doing a photo display of them on their birthday, November 25? Of course you all would have to actually post them, since I still don't know how to do it, but I could send you my file, which should save some search time and there's lots of time between now and November, to put it together. Who knows, I might be smart enough to help out by that time. Don't count on it though because although I consider myself pretty intelligent, I'm a little challenged when it comes to the internet and pics.
Although several of you have told me how, I STILL don't quite "get it". I think I just have a mental block about it. Same thing with most card games. I beat my husband and his friend playing poker once and still don't know how I did it. Hubby showed me over and over and over how to play and keep score and I just never grasped it.
lol. Karl Rove is howling with laughter. Lordy, are the Dems in trouble. I've learned that when Mr. Rove shows teeth... there's a kaboom! on the horizon. :)

How true. I think that 'ol Joe Wilson and Chuckie Schumer jumped the shark yesterday. I hope they all see those photos of a gleeful Karl. It will fry their brains.
Hi, snugs -- sent my card via snailmail about two days ago. Don't know how long it will take but it's somewhere between here and there. Thanks for the update on your dad.
I think it's a great idea and would be more than happy to help you. However, I know you can learn to post photos. It's not hard. Heck, if I can learn it, ANYONE can. :-)
Since we're talking November, there's no rush. Later today or tomorrow, I will FReemail you instructions that are easy to follow. You can practice and gain a little confidence by putting up a miscellaneous test thread. No problem.
I don't get the feeling, I KNOW that O Reily is a self serving aggrandizing pontificating jackal of an idiot.
Thanks for sending the card I think it can take anything from 4 - 8 days probably dependant upon what day you post the letter because there are probably so many flights per week the mail is on.
I don't get the feeling, I KNOW that O Reily is a self serving aggrandizing pontificating jackal of an idiot.
There is always that of course but I still feel he is anti British and does not want to understand the slight cultural differences plus meaning of words between English and American people. I hate saying it but many Irish people are not sympathetic to Britain especially when it comes to to terrorism and he has just returned from a holiday to Ireland and since this holiday which happened to coincide with the attack he has been even more anti British.
I like your idea re the twins.
I know you can learn how to post photos. Anyone who can figure out how to get online, find FR, and post replies can learn how to post photos. Perhaps you are a visual learner and need to see the thing coming together before it sticks, and then repetition cements it (along with a few good notes). But you can't learn if you don't try, so I encourage you to try again, and again, and keep at it. It sounds like the key is being walked through it, writing it down, repeating it, till it sticks.
I've often thought, when reading posts such as yours, that if the person who wants to learn how to do this had someone on the telephone with them, or at their elbow, giving step-by-step instructions, it would be a lot easier and go more quickly.
I think you are correct. And one thing is for certain O Reiley is only concerned about himself.
Yes, that one translates perfectly. ;-)
Hi tm2. We are allowed to meet only during the school year, on school property, so I don't get to see her right now. We are writing to each other, though, routing letters through the Mentor Program Manager's office.
I just spoke with the MPM this AM and apprised her of my move to another city at the end of July and asked if she thought I might be able to meet with my mentee once a month for two hours when school resumes, as I am not going to be able to go 80 miles round trip each week to see her for an hour; also, I do not know what my schedule will be like after I move. She said she doubts the school would do that but certainly is willing to find out (some teachers resist the mentees being taken out of class even for an hour a week, although most of them are begging for "More mentors!"). As of now, the future of the mentoring relationship is in God's hands and I'll know more in the autumn.
Hello Gretchen prayers for your that you can sort out something re mentoring I know how much it meant to you.
