The President and First Lady spent the New Year weekend at their ranch in Crawford Texas returning today to Washington where they paid their respects to former President Ford whose body is laying in State in the Rotunda. Later on he and the First lady visited Mrs Ford at Blair House.

The President's father also paid his respects to President Ford today as did Donald Rumsfeld

On Saturday Vice President Cheney attended and spoke at the State Funeral of Gerald Ford

Doing the right thing isn't always easy, but it's always right.

Words to live by!

Yeah, I was thinking the very same thing...maybe something I said will impact his thoughts---I can only hope.

Thanks for your kind words, SCB and mystery-ak!

I'm sorry about your experience mystery-ak. You'd think people would have more decency. I wrote on a different thread on FR that perhaps WE failed President Bush, instead of it being totally the other way around. President Bush simply held us to a higher standard of understanding. ---A different take on all this. I like to look at both sides. There's plenty of blame to go around for people not understanding why we're doing what we're doing, and some of it has to do with capacity to comprehend the bigger picture, too.

Snugs, this is the Blair House, and trust me, it's not large. Of course, I'm thinking only the yellow building is the Blair House, and maybe not, but there are stairs leading up to each of the other buildings. When you're there, looking at it, the impression is that the yellow house is the Blair House - only.

But look - it's 4 stories high.

what a neat pix of moon/sun.. Thanks star..just hitting a few of my pings (late) as I was gone a few days.

Nord.. good for you on response to post office comment. I so often bite my tongue as I DONT have the time & know if I "get into it", I will really stress myself up & wont change any of the idiots minds.(I am really trying to manage stress ...so much you can't help , but you can avoid some things)

[DollyCali]

Thanks for the Blair house link.. the signatures are fun.. I need to get busy here at home.

I LOVE but always make a mistake when I begin catching up with pings, when time is tight (as it is now).

[NordP]

Thanks for your kind words of encouragement! We all need to be there for each other--share stories and go back out there and "get 'r done." ha ha

I hear you--it IS scary; but this year I'm adopting the "Network" approach to being P.C. and/or non-confrontational. ---"I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore." ;-) It's easier for me to defend someone else than it is for me to defend myself. I just kept that as my mindset--NO ONE was going to talk like that about MY President!

All of us here on the Dose know the facts and IMHO, with the Dems in power, we MUST rehearse our talking points and USE them. We MUST remain calm and confront. It's a good life lesson, with the bonus of being a Winter Warrior for our President, and our Country. The Dems simply CANNOT have my Country!

VISUALIZE: Mentally put yourself back in the times of when we first broke from England, and think---Founding Fathers.

It was regular people like us that made the difference then, and we'll make the difference now.

Bigger is even better when you enlarge it, which I won't do here. I may blow it up and frame it. Isn't it glorious and supernatural? Only God .....

[STARWISE]

By the way, Missy ... you had a VERY glamorous New Year's. Nice .... ;)

[DollyCali]

Oh,Star.. it was a whole weekend of fantasy & fun.. 4 star hotel, restaurants, SUPER spa "stuff"... I was spoiled but now back home & to "reality"

[DollyCali]

doesn't matter if it is real or "enhanced" ...it is gorgeous!

[STARWISE]

You don't think you'll be just as pampered in less opulent fashion back home? I think and hope you will. ;)

[StarCMC]

WOW!! I came here at your invite and read that -- good for you!! I love it when people stick up for the truth!!

[NordP]

Welcome to our humble gathering! StarCMC - I told you it was a great thread! Thank you for your kind words. The Dose usually comes out as a new day...right around 4 or 5 PM PT...

Would you like to be on our ping list? Let me know, and I'll tell the fantastic few that post The Dose each day.

NordP

[StarCMC]

I would love to be on the pinglist! :-)

[NordP]

Would one of you put StarCMC on The Dose ping list? I don't know who has the master list, but figured one of you would.

Thanks!

[GretchenM]

Star is added as you requested.

[NordP]

Thank you GretchenM!!!
