"...and this is part of what this thread has developed into a place to enjoy what the President is doing primarily but also a safe place for friends to met and share."
Amen! Regular Dosers or regulars @ other Threads also should feel safe & welcome to share happy things;sad things happiness to *see* others we're getting to know without the word hi-jack being brought into it...Especially after the all clear goes up and things are respectful of The spirit of the Threads they frequent...The Dose/ The Finest wherever...Those are my 2 faves and where my FRiendships are forming.& where I love to chat with folks.
Prayers and hugs to you, and you know there are and will be continuing prayers for your hunky Jonathan. You and Mike are the heart and soul of America .. God be with you all. You know your Dose sisters and bros are always here for ya.
You have a very handsome son. I remain grateful for men like him and his dad.
Oh snugs...I'm sorry I missed seeing your post before now. I see you have gone now. Hopefully the 'puter problems will all be resolved and I will be around more now.
I'm up - trying to solve a plumbing problem and just decided that it's beyond my ability. Going to bed, to call a plumber in the AM who hopefully will respond within the day. The toilet in the bathroom off of this office I'm sitting in is leaking like a sieve and I'd try to fix it if only the cutoff valve weren't also leaking. Without being able to cutoff the water, I'm not up for attempting to fix the leaking ballcock - so it's up to a plumber.
I'll watch him as he works and probably hate myself for calling him - as I'm sure the solution is simple. But at this hour, I'm stumped, tired, sweaty, and pooped to boot. I give up. I bought the replacement parts but not being able to cut off the water was the final blow in my "Do Is Yourself" attempt. Rats.
I heard the President's speech today - bold, proud, filled with facts. I hope the Dims were listening. They of the "new plan" don't seem to know that the President is doing such an excellent job in this War on Terror and the Iraq war. God bless our President.
But the truth is that the Democrats get their points out there, without ceasing, over and over and over, and without the White House countering them, the American public gets brain washed into thinking that the Democrats are right. Unfortunately, the President has to make his case, over and over and over again. It's the only way to counter the lies of the Left and I hope that he does more of what he did today - point by point, listing the things that Al Qaeda would like to do to us, and their agenda. He needs to say this more than once.
He needs to say it, over and over.
Repeatedly. He needs to make his case that he is doing what is required in the War on Terror. I hope he's learned the lesson that the truth just doesn't come out by itself; that he has to make the case before the American public, over and over.
I sound like a broken record, with the "over and over" but truthfully, it's what the Democrats do, and if the White House doesn't fight back the same way, I'm afraid the debate goes in favor of the Democrats just because of repetition.
Will freep you later today with the recipe.
Mystery I would like to recommend this Blog to you by a Mom with sons in the Army it is a inspiring comforting blog.

Titled "Dwelling In The Shelter"
Jonathan has many prayers going with him -- even from us lurkers.
You are all such good friends...I am humbled.
There's nothing more appreciative than prayers and I thank you.
"You are all such good friends...I am humbled."
& reading this touches me...
Take Care! & Prayers! & Hugs!
thanks!!!
I've said it before...I don't know what I would have done without Freeper Help the night my Dad died, and my Mom called me to give me the news. I was like a deer in headlights. I couldn't move. I just typed and cried. Normally, I'm an A personality type that does everything for everyone else and faster than just about anyone else....but I couldn't think enough to complete a sentence.
You'll get through this, and so will your son. Be strong for him, and count on us for help!
I think it hard to trust a "man" in a dress.
