Welcome to Sanity Island

President Bush traveled to Manassas, Virginia today where he addressed a crowd at Micron Technology Virginia on Fiscal Responsibility.

The full text of his remarks can be read here.

Ninety six years ago today, our fortieth president was born, and later tonight, Former First Lady Nancy Reagan will present our nation’s forty-first president, George Herbert Walker Bush, with the 2007 Ronald Reagan Freedom Award at a gala dinner in Beverly Hills, CA at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

To honor President Ronald Reagan on the anniversary of his birthday, President George W. Bush has designated United States Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton to place a wreath on President Reagan’s gravesite on his behalf. Colonel James B. Seaton III, Commanding Officer at Camp Pendleton, will conduct the ceremony, which will commence at 11:00 a.m. with a music prelude beginning at 10:30 a.m. by the Camp Pendleton band and the United States Naval Academy Men’s Glee Club. The ceremony includes a color guard, chaplain, a brass quintet, a 21-gun salute, the placing of an official wreath from the White House on President Reagan’s gravesite, and a fly-over by the March Air Reserve Base. The ceremony’s guest speaker will be the Honorable Edwin Meese, former Attorney General under President Reagan, who will deliver personal remarks.

LOL! I am sick to death of winter!!!

We just obtained a policy for me --- Blue Cross, I think. I have gone all my life without any medical insurance. I hope this doesn't jinx me.

The buttermilk recipe is the best, or so I've been told.

One thing is sure about this. It will have way too many pecans. I did not have a measuring cup handy and it was past time to add them so I just picked up the bag and dumped them in. That is ok, though. We all love pecans.

[onyx]

Our trees were loaded, so I put pecans into almost everything I made. :0)

OH NO! I typo'd my own screen name.

You're forgiven omyx. LOL 

[onyx]

I'm leaving this week's typo stand ......lol.

My folks don't have medical insurance. Too expensive. I on the other hand have Medicaid and Medicare.

LOL -- I know I have to have eye surgery --- detached retina in right eye.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Hey, that reminds me, I never did hear an update about you going blind in the one eye. Was that permanent or just sort of a temporary blindness that you had?

[onyx]

Right. It's very high priced, but DrO said I have likely exhausted my luck and since he's paying for it.....

[onyx]

It's a detached retina -- which makes the sight seem like there's a dark gray drape over it.

Good thing you have insurance, if you have to have eye surgery.

[BigSkyFreeper]

My parents won't even enroll in AARP, even though they have been getting the mailers for about 10 years now. LOL

[onyx]

I think the laser surgery here is not all that costly. My pest control guy had it and his was $1800 for both eyes.

[onyx]

AARP is a rip off.

[sissyjane]

When are you having it done?

[BigSkyFreeper]

Ahhh! That's what that was. Hopefully that will be corrected soon. :)

[BigSkyFreeper]

Yep. That it is. The mailers are just an annoyance. My other grandparents STILL get AARP mailers every year.
