I hope it’s “just” work, too! My hubby asks about his absence after every weekend thread! He (as well as myself)
loves his aircraft graphics!

Thanks, Seven, for the latest news....

U.S. Tells Israel Iran’s Nuclear Threat Is Not Imminent

Right, and we can just sit and talk with them. I hope to heck Bibi knows not to believe a word or promise, or even something on paper, that obama says.

Why I like this site. Just about anywhere else, I’d be being called a monster who should never be allowed near children. As I’m a teacher, I get rather sick of it being suggested I’m dangerous to kids because I have conservative views.
