- - OOPS!! Wrong image!!

Well - - -

Okay, better, but here is how we really *see* you - -

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

We so appreciate your dedication to being informative and helpful on any given day, but you have gone above and beyond the call this week, ensuring we have vital information in one place.

So many posters have jobs, restricting the time they can spend here, and you make it effortless for them to keep pace with the rapidly changing events.

Knowing I speak for all who come to The Finest Room,
I warble the applicable lyrics from that show:

"Hello, Dolly!
Well, hello, Dolly!
It's so nice to have you here
Where you belong.

I never knew Dolly
Without you, Dolly
Life was awfully flat
And more than that
Was awfully wrong."

One of our long ago traditions of a sort, as Billie can confirm, was in exchanges during the Whitewater Years on FR when Pharmer Phil showed us the light..:))

When SocksC. (underbed@WH.gov) was our source for the real goingson in the White House and was injured fleeing for his life, he ended up on Phil's Pharm in CA to be nursed back to health.
I of course sent phlowers to Pharmer Phil and Marion - phlox and phorgetmenots.
Thus was born deliberate misspelling of "f" words - phor you - phorhevinsake - Phorum - Phree Republic?

I therefore accord you, Dolly, not with a 'showy' bouquet today,
but a bunch of these - -

~ ~ ~ Phorgetmenots for the Unphorgettable Dolly ~ ~ ~

If any are offended by my use of humor this day, it is intended only to highlight our appreciation for Dolly's extraordinary efforts on our behalf.

Like all of us, I struggle from moment to moment coping with the things all over my beloved South that are unfolding before our eyes...alternate wanting to weep aloud with streaming prayers of thanks for all we so often take for granted.

May God have mercy upon and comfort all of those affected...

Thank You Ms. Maggie!

How very sweet of you to make up this clever "thank you". I do appreciate it.

It has been therapeutic for me to research out info and share. I am basically going to other threads & a few of the radio/TV stations websites in the Gulf area

Love your post, Lady. We still have to laugh even though the news is bad. A friend sent this to me this morning and I had to laugh:

59 and Pregnant

A woman went to the doctor's office, where she was seen by a young, new physician. After about four minutes in the examination room, the doctor told her she was pregnant. She burst out, screaming as she ran down the hall.

An older doctor stopped her and asked what the problem was, and she told him her story. After listening, he had her sit down and relax in another room.

The doctor marched down the hallway to the back where the first doctor was and demanded, "What's the matter with you? Mrs. Terry is 59 years old, she has four grown children and seven grandchildren, and you told her she was pregnant?"

The new doctor continued to write on his clipboard and without looking up said, "Does she still have the hiccups?"

(God bless President Bush.)

I would be lost in cyberspace if not for Aunt Billie.
