Thank God he is home safe and sound. My heart can quit it's beating double-time now.

***sigh of relief***

Great last picture. Looks like relief on his face, too, that he is back home to his family!

Wow, seek. You must be bursting your buttons with that handsome and talented nephew. What an honor!

He did. Laura says in the video that he came back to make the gingerbread house this year.

Hi snugs. Thanks for the Dose tonight. Like others have said, I'm so relieved the President is back home safe and sound.

I've finished that book I told you about the other day. It turned out to be a disappointment because the author lost the historical story about a third of the way through. I still know almost nothing about John Snow, Henry Whitehead and the other people who were intimately involved in the fight against cholera in 1854. I still don't know how many people died in that outbreak, how many became ill, and so on.

Instead, what I learned about was the author's opinion on everything from the "stupidity" of prominent people in the mid-1800's who believed infectious diseases were all airborne, to -- believe it or not -- how the invasion of Iraq in 2003 caused an outbreak of cholera in Basra. And all sorts of other opinions from the author in between those two polar extremes.

I tell ya -- this author took the cliche "it's Bush's fault" to a new level in tying the Iraq of 2003 to the London of 1854.

I knew you would like that one

Shows that really there is nothing new in people's behaviour

Laura says in the video I admire Lady Laura the way she has accepted and performed a role she never sought or expected doing all this public speaking. She has turned out to be a wonderful First Lady. How fortunate we are.

Wonder why....

[Jewels1091]

by the way, is there a place i can see the video?

Shows that really there is nothing new in people's behaviour

Yeah. I sure was disappointed in this author. If one is going to write and sell a book as an historical work, then one should stick to the subject. About two thirds of the book was taken up by all sorts of stuff having only a tangential, if any, relationship to the original subject.

I have a feeling the chef that did it last year has gone as well so it may well be that there was no one experienced enough in that sort of design to do it.

I knew You'd know,
teeheehee!

[seekthetruth]

Thanks so much! I will try to save them!:)

Unfortunately a lot of historical books are like that.

To an extent all authors do put their slant on their work but the good ones are honest enough to say it and also mention other people's point of view.

The bad ones are those who present it as fact and leave it at that I think many history books in schools are like that.
