I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, One Nation Under God, Indivisible, With Liberty and Justice for All.

Great presentation FReezy. Okay, I cheated - got here before the 3 hours waiting period. It's not a federal crime is it?

Did the tourist thing in Washington DC in the mid 90's as a chaperone with a group of high school foreign exchange students. Really enjoyed the visit and the sites. Spent a lot of time reflecting at "The Wall" with some of my old buds.

I stood outside the fence at the White House and just shook my head in disgust. Too bad the DC Chapter had not yet been formed. Didn't carry a sign, but I staged a silent protest against the occupants.

Thanks for the information about the citizens of Washington DC.

May I be the second one to congradulate you on your very first FR's Finest post!

Great Job!

[The Thin Man]

Where's our ping? When you create a thread you need to let others know about it. You shouldn't be afraid, I mean it isn't that bad.

Actually, it's pretty creative and one might even call it ingenious (not me, of course).

Now I just need to get a new monitor because obviously the colors aren't showing up correctly. Let's face it, no one in her right mind would use those colors! :)

Good Morning Free!

KOOOL!

Ya did a great job with this thread!

sounds like another saver for sure!

but you left me off the pinglist :O(

I'm just up the road from you and did you ping the DC gang?

[Pippin]

Hi, TTM!

I see you got to the thread EARLY! :O)

Are you on the East Coast?

[Pippin]

Hi, Dave!

I waited until the occupants of the WH had changed in 2001! :O)

[Molly Pitcher]

Excellent Free. You've shed quite a bit of light on the DC subject. Does your screen name, then, refer to yourself...a DC Hostage??

Love the wild colors,too - sure woke me up! LOL!

[dansangel]

Excellent presentation - the colors are so ***you*** - a veritable *quilt* of a thread. Fantastic!

Congratulations and kudos to you. Your research and hard work have paid off!

((((((((Freezie))))))))

PS - I'm with (((((The Skinny Dood)))) - you really need to ping everyone - LOL!!

[dansangel]

((((((Hugs)))))))) to all of you for a wonderful *Tuesday* at the Finest!

Neat thread today. How any one lives there is beyond me..I thought Memphis was bad.

Coffee's on

Don't worry -- if it's a federal crime, you won't be busted -- not in DC!

[FreeTheHostages]

but you left me off the pinglist :O(

Silly hobbit! I posted before I went to bed but I did not ping until this morning. You have your ping. :)

[FreeTheHostages]

Thanks. You mentioned "wild colors." Hmmm. Curious. Perhaps you and The Thin Man have the same monitor brand?

All I know is I followed Billie's recipe exactly. So far as I an tell I did everything right. ;)

[Molly Pitcher]

LOL! It's a perfect marriage of content and execution...let's put it that way!

God Bless Our Military

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Below are names of some of our FReepers' loved ones who are serving our country. If you have someone you would like to add, please address a post to Billie; Mama_Bear; Dansangel; Dutchess; Aquamarine and we will add their name to this list. As we pray for them, we pray also for all our nation’s leaders, and military personnel, and their families and friends. May God hold them close to His heart.

~~~~~~~~~~   ~~~~~~~~~~

We ask Lord, that You guide the leaders of our great country in their hour of decision. The burden that has been placed on their shoulders is overwhelming. We ask that with Your infinite wisdom You guide them gently to the right decisions.

Please give us the strength, Lord, to get through each difficult and devastating day that faces each of us and our country. Protect and guide our Military that are now being called to duty, strengthen them in their trials and temptations; give them courage to face the perils which beset them; and grant them a sense of your abiding presence wherever they may be; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

lol, your tag line "is reality optional?" works perfectly with today's topic

[FreeTheHostages]

:) Good morning. Thanks for the coffee -- if everyone's not already been woken up.
