Hi! The presentation you wrote of sounds very interesting, but I would not feel comfortable posting it using my name because I don't have first-hand knowledge that the author would approve of posting it in this forum.

Jim Rob is a good source to give you direction on how to post it using your name, if you are certain that the author and the proper authorities would approve.

Best Regards,

Spotsy

Well, you are ahead of me! I usually don't even put anything outside. My husband just won't do lights and stuff--I might put a wreath out, but the wind here sure blows stuff around!

[Spotsy]

You are very welcome Lauren.
Adorable little angels!

Merry Christmas to you!
Do you have a tree up already?

Will you ping the vets for this.

[Spotsy]

That was meant as FReepmail - oooops!
See, I can't be trusted to do anything right.

Have some pancakes:

[luvie]

You have FReepmail!

Thanks to both of you for checking on the White House Christmas special for me. I'm home, and it's ALMOST OVER!!! But, per the paper, it airs again at 11pm Alaska time. Guess where I will be at 11p? I guess I'll go find a pancake or two. LOL!

[luvie]

Hey, Kathy! I'll be there with ya! Only mine is at 11pm CST! I was so mad I had missed it the first time, and then found out it repeated. Relief!!!

[Spotsy]

I received my Republican 2004 Calendar today featuring 12 wonderful pictures of our Commander in Chief! WooHoo!

How are you Lady Jag? Are the lungs back to full capacity? Are you in full holiday mode?

[laurenmarlowe]

Yes, Spotsybelle, I have a big Christmas tree up, and two small ones. I hope you have a blessed Christmas.

[luvie]

Be still my beating heart--I did, too! Isn't it wonderful! I can hardly wait for January to get here so I can start using it!

[Spotsy]

I am soooo behind. LOL!

I wish you a blessed Christmas also, sweet Lauren.

[Spotsy]

Yes, EVERY day will be a Dubya day in 2005. :)

[Kathy in Alaska]

It's 8pm at my house. I have to wait 3 hours! Hey, it's 11pm your time, isn't it? Is it on now?

[Spotsy]

Make that 2005 calendar.

I'm too dangerously tired to be driving or FReeping right now. (don't worry, I'm only doing the latter at the moment)

[luvie]

Yes, it is! I am taping it, but I was watching Brit Hume and forgot to change channels! Thanks for reminding me!

[Kathy in Alaska]

wOOhOO!! Spotsy...check out Barney. He is so cute. And word?
