Think I can get one of those funny hats on ebay? I like em. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

As usual, I love the still photos at fr. More time for reflection looking at stills than watching tv. I do like flash cartoons though.

This morning, Fox was showing the towers and the planes again. I'm not sure that was necessary but guess they thought it was a good idea. I won't ever forget that day whether I ever see that footage again or not. I like to watch the historic documentatories and I also agree with Rush Limbaugh that maybe when they left out asbestos, the steel wasn't fireproof.

Awesome pictures. Thank you. The faces of freedom in the little children.

My impression is that they're supposed to resemble roosters - - at least that was the first thought that entered my mind, after I got up off the floor from laughing.....

This morning, Fox was showing the towers and the planes again.

The reason Fox was showing the towers and the planes is to remind us why we must win the fight against the terrorists.

My best friend was a German kid in Germany when Americans marched in about 1944?. He said he remembers the Hershey bars and other food they got from the soldiers. The Germans were actually starving. He said the black GI's seemd to be the kindest.

[MissAmericanPie]

Sorry, that should have read "military issue", I have been making goofs all day, me tired. I am so greatful to all of you devastatingly handsome soldiers that I can be tired, in the safety you provide, after a week of entertaining friends and family that I hold so dear, I hold you all dear to me also. Happy New Year and may it be the best you have ever known.

Awesome pictures. Thank you. The faces of freedom in the little children.

As a grandparent of 9 , 6 of which are wonderful grandaughters , I love to see the pictures of the smiles. I cannot imagine any society denying the pleasure of organized learning to any child!

A society that does that is a decaying society!
