I had fun at the retreat! :O)

hehe !! Glad ya did, too ! :O) Welcome back ...

[Billie]

Wanted to say hello, RA - Still think it must be very exciting to work at NASA. :)

But I trust you in California know what you are doing.

LOL. Think again, Pip. It was Californians that elected Davis, not once, but TWICE. And now it is beginning to look like Cruz Bustamonte is leading the race to replace him, another liberal democrat.

No matter how he presents himself, Bustamonte IS a liberal. He comes from the county where I live. I don't know him personally, but I know his family. His niece used to work for us at our business. He would probably be a better Governor than Davis, but only marginally.

I am sincerely hoping that we can pull off a miracle and get Tom McClintock elected. This is a man who can begin to repair the damage that has been done to CA.

I'm glad you like the Aqua graphic - yes, of course, keep it. I made it as both a thank you and a consolation for having to work so hard in such a short time. You did great, Sistah! It WAS your idea, and your layout - I helped with the mechanics, that's all. :)

Hi, Dubya. :)

[Billie]

Thanks, Dansy. :) It's been nice and 'cool' almost today, so wasn't bad working over there this morning. :)

[Dubya]

Doing good Billie. Hope you are too. Me and Rosie are working a little outside and come in to cool off for a while.

Hi, Lori - got your mail, got mine changed. :)

The Federalist OPINION IN BRIEF "The American founders and their successors clearly felt free to depart from the particular civic statutes of ancient Israel, but they largely based our legal system on biblical moral law, so there's nothing heinous with showcasing the most famous statement of that moral law. Almost all Alabama citizens recognize the Ten Commandments as something special, and displaying them (as opposed to a cross or a passage from the book of Romans) is largely inclusive, since Jews and Muslims -- as well as Christians -- revere the words from chapter 20 of Exodus. Furthermore, the First Amendment was designed not to keep state rotundas Bible-free but to keep the federal government from establishing a denomination (like the Episcopalians) as the preferred group to which state-required taxes and tithes had to flow. Even with that amendment now applied to states through the 14th Amendment, no one is alleging that Moore in his court decisions has replaced Alabama state law with Leviticus, or that those who do not honor the Ten Commandments are silenced in his courtroom." --Marvin Olasky "An Open Letter to Justice Roy Moore" thanking him for his defense of religious liberty and states' rights in this landmark case, has now received over 65,000 signatures.
