Thanks for the ping Wolfie. Ya'know, that p-nut butter/banana sandwich recipe was printed in our local newspaper years ago, and I made it. Yummy, but so rich, I'm still getting over it.

Lovely little dogs snugs. The one in pic 2 is quite a heartwarmer.

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Is it true that the thing is so big that clouds have been known to form near the ceiling?

[snugs]

Ziggy my favourite sheltie and the only dog we ever had. All others have been bitches, I found Ziggy to be so loving and such a character.

IMHO I think dogs make better pets than bitches.

[SnarlinCubBear]

The thing I've been told, and have seen it to be true is that dogs love females and bitches love males.

Another, "your bitch may love you, but your dog is IN love with you"

I have both at present, and Ollie runs to me and puts his arms up for a hug when I come home, and will wash my face with kisses. Emma runs to me also, but lacks the total, unbridled passion of Oliver.

Yahoo published this side-by-side comparison to show how the President has aged since 2001.

Yep, it is obvious. His suit has gotten darker.

Let me speak up for the bitches .... of dog world...LOL. I've had dogs for years, both male and female, and they've been equally loving, great protectors and companions, no matter the sex. IMO, it all depends on their genes, upbringing and training, so I disagree with that generalization.

" Everyone needs to be aware of another absolutely despicable piece of garbage by Sulzberger .. and the NYT. He's giving our avowed terrorists the location of Cheney's and Rumsfeld's weekend homes. "

I'm surprised that the NYT didn't include MapQuest directions. Have they ever done anything remotely similar regarding the Clinton's Chappaqua house and DC mansion ?
Imagine the outrage if Ann Coulter had given directions to the Wilson/ Plame abode , including the color of the house and neighbor landmarks.

. . . . SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO many AWESOME photos of our beloved president, his beloved friend (Koizumi) and his beloved assistant (Karl Rove -- too funny)!


I hope everyone had the opportunity to watch C-Span's (JUST CONCLUDED) one hour video summary of Koizumi's visit to the US -- it included the state dinner and the trip to Memphis!!


You will find additional video/photo/journalistic summaries of the President's visit to MEMPHIS here:

PRESIDENTIAL REFRESHMENT

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

The president came to town yesterday, and seemingly nothing was as it should have been.

The no-nonsense Secret Service agents stepped off Air Force One wearing gold-framed sunglasses and Elvis-like sideburns — souvenirs, it turns out, from a stop earlier in the day at Graceland in Tennessee with the prime minister of Japan.

Hi everyone. Folks on this thread might enjoy reading about a lot of the very real progress which we're making in Iraq. I put together this thread based on the May 2006 Department of Defense report on Progress in Iraq.

Please check it out, it's quite uplifting. However I'm a little disappointed at the traffic so far, only 300 or so views in 24hrs, I thought everyone would rush to take a look. I guess people are wary of doing any heavy lifting over the long weekend. But it's an easy read, I promise! , so drop on by for a Fourth of July pick me up! (You see, I'm leaning on the advertising now!) Bumps will be appreciated! ;-)

[snugs]

Good way of putting it

[DrDeb]

THANK YOU for the heads up about the President and Laura's visit with Larry King on Thursday -- the President's birthday!

Is it going to be live or pre-recorded? [I certainly hope our wonderful president doesn't have to spend his actual birthday evening with pathetic Larry King!]

[snugs]

Upbringing yes does have a bearing I agree its just that I have found dogs to be just that bit gentler and loving. I think snarlin may have hit the nail on the head from my perspective.

Hello Kelly how goes the summer holidays - do you have a summer job?

[Txsleuth]

I liked the report about President Bush in Ohio..and buying the lemonade...however, it really ticks me off..that he is doing a fundraiser for Mike DeWeinie...

I KNOW he has to---to keep the GOP seat...but DeWeinie has been anything BUT a team player a lot of the time.

Did you or anyone ever find out if Koizumi is married or not?

[Samwise]

What a great picture! I don't know who is luckier, her for having him or him for having her.

They didn't need Mapquest. They showed the only road into the Cheney & Rumsfeld houses (here's where to plant your IED!); Rumsfeld's security camera (just duck behind this), and enough info for anyone to figure out where to launch a hand held missile from the water.

What else do you need to know? (Except that no one in their right mind would buy either one of these houses now)

I sure wouldn't mind seeing an investigation of the NYSlimes.
