Today President Bush met with Tom Bock, the national commander of the American Legion in the Oval Office, as well as John Sommer, executive director of the American Legion's Washington office and Jim Nicholson, Secretary of Veterans Affairs.

He also met in the Oval Office with Belgian Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt to discuss key elections in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

First Lady, Laura and daughter Barbara were in Ghana today, where Mrs. Bush addressed an audience at the Accra Teacher Training College in Accra, Ghana, to launch the African Education Initiative Textbooks Program. They also visited with patients at the Korle-Bu Treatment Center, and with Peace Corps volunteers, marking its 45th anniversary this year.

Former President George H.W. Bush was in Pakistan today visiting survivors of the 2005 earthquake.

Enjoy your trip to Sanity Island and the Daily Dose!

Just look at it this way, mystery. If he puts panties on people's heads, he'll be famous..........and then so will YOU. :)

I will pray for you.

It was exactly three years ago that we found out Eric was being deployed, and within a week he was being processed. (I can't remember that military term for it).

We hardly had time to breathe, let alone get worried........did we?

I can't believe it's been three years!!

I hadn't read the whole thread when I posted before..

I am "sorry" if that is the right term...that you are going to be going through the anxiety of having a loved on in Iraq...

I will keep positive thoughts...just like for the birth upcoming...

God Bless you and your family, M_A!

What's your problem? Did you go searching for threads to harass people? Get over yourself.

No. Too many people make unfounded remarks about others when they do not understand different cultures. I will not "get over myself" because I did when I started traveling 30 years ago to Europe on business. Ever try it? Or do you... what?

I know that. I've met a lot of Europeans. When I was in Germany 10 years ago, they wore very small framed glasses with very short hair. We Americans looked like nerds with the lens style at the time here in America. I was trying to make the point that there are differing cultures on this side of the pond from Western Europe. Just as we all speak differently in different parts here in the USA.

Wow, aren't you special? I couldn't care less how much you've traveled.

**because I did when I started traveling 30 years ago**
I'm not even 30 years old. I'm 22. And my only point was that you were being way too harsh about a comment that really wasn't worth getting upset over.

Well, maybe when you grow up, you may understand the facts of life.

My 28 year old daughter has traveled to Praque, Rome, Paris and Luzerne Switzerland. Sometimes, an understanding of other Western cultures help one envision other portions of the plant Earth other than playing Nintendo games while living with Mommy.

When most of us here were your age, we were married, and owned a home.

Sooo, what is your long term logistical plan, and short term strategic plan?

I don't know where that came from??

Apparently I accidently stepped on some European toes.

No offense meant. However, I must complain on behalf of all 300 pounders. We're (they're) people too.

Go to the medicine cabinet.

Get out your meds.

Take them.

Don't call me in the morning.
