Thank you, Mixer - we're so happy you are a part of this thread, too. And I would bet that our President and our troops are on all our minds, despite the lighthearted nature of today's thread and posts. I know it weighs heavy on President Bush's heart to have to do what he's having to do. God Bless that man - he's tried so hard to make 'diplomacy' work.

Hi, Billie!

I'm doing my best to make this thread light in spite of what is going on!

I don't mind telling you I'm nervous about the speach tonight.

I think I'll be staying on line during the speach so I can be with you and the others. Looks like we're in for some turbulant times, but we shall hold a steady course!

May God be with President Bush and Prime Minister Blair!
