Good job Pippin! Your good heart is showing again.

[Mama_Bear]

((((((((Pippin)))))))))

So glad to finally hear from you! I was beginning to get concerned. Welcome back. :-)

[Billie]

Nice BUMP there, Joe! :) I like it!

[Mama_Bear]

This is my first attempt at making an opening post, to say it was difficult would be an understatement. You guys have my complete respect for doing this every week! I had no idea!

You did a spectacular job! Gosh, I wish my first one had looked that good.

They can be very time-consuming for sure, but also it's rewarding when they come out looking so beautiful, isn't it? You and Billie should take a bow, you both did a great job on this.

Billie has a real talent for recognizing potential hostess material. :-)

Suit Filed in Commandments Statue Fight

By MARK NIESSE, Associated Press Writer

MONTGOMERY, Ala. - Supporters of the Ten Commandments monument asked a federal court Monday to block its removal from the Alabama Judicial Building, where barricades were erected to keep crowds from pressing against the glass front entrance.

Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore installed the monument two years ago and was suspended by a state judicial ethics panel last week for disobeying a federal court order to remove the 5,300-pound granite marker.

The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Mobile on behalf of a Christian radio talk show host and a pastor, says the forced removal of the monument would violate the constitutional guarantee of freedom of religion.

Thanks for posting.

I know you've left the thread, but I'm leaving a little smoooooch for your return. :-)

[Billie]

I can't believe they're continuing with this. I can't believe they're getting away with it. Every one of them should be thrown out on their behinds.

[Mama_Bear]

GREAT NEWS!

Yes, that is wonderful news! Thanks for posting this.

[Billie]

Hi, Dutchess - Aqua and I had a few of 'those' sessions that you and I used to have. LOL! Please reassure her that it DOES get easier, will you? :)

[Diver Dave]

Great Job you're doing today, Dubya. Keep up the good work.

[Billie]

There's that coffee. :) Here's that graphic. :)

[Calpernia]

I only JUST noticed the song on that graphic now. I was so busy looking at the pics last time that I missed the words.

[Billie]

Good afternoon, Fine FReepers. :)

[Diver Dave]

Afternoon, Billie.

Looks like you "hire" the best for FR's Finest...

Hmmmm. Maybe you could hire some replacements in the Texas legislature.

"Hey you! Yeah, you dem dam dims. What's your last name and how do you spell FIRED!

[Billie]

Good morning, Cal - hope you're having a great day. Seems like I haven't gotten to spend much time here lately, but I'm thinkin' 'bout all of you. :)

[Billie]

Billie made the Ten Commandments graphic, isn't it beautiful?

Just text, but guess it's hard 'not' to make the words beautiful. :)

Mobile Press Register and the Houston Chronicle reported Sunday that the crowd at the August 16 Rally was estimated at 10,000.

Please reassure her that it DOES get easier, will you? :)

I *really* don't see what everyone's getting excited about. This stuff is a piece of cake. You just take the quaddle and nest it in the quork, careful to make sure the putanterstomp is not potfurned by the rumblestooper. Then, once the cellpaddoodle -- or is it the cellspittle -- of the tablemeister is set to a number mode HEX (where hex is defined as a new number system between 0 and 15, with letters for the numbers past 9 -- convenient, huh?), you're off and running.

Really people, I don't see the problem. Everyone's making such a fuss about it. Tsk, tsk.
