Thank you Miss Behave.

[TexKat]

Never mind...lol...I found it. Forgot it was in Italian - Stati Uniti. Duh. Well, not all the wheels are working after being up since 2:30 a.m.

LOL, after searching the page up and down for about 5 minutes and pondering what was up with this, I finally thought about doing a page search for Bush and thats how I found it. So don't feel bad.

We just got back from Bally's.

As in exercise, workout?

[FormerNavyBrat]

Thank you.
We get EWTN, but it switches over to TBN midafternoon. I really wish it were EWTN 24/7.

I watch it online...don't have cable, don't watch broadcast TV....the screen is small, but the sound is good!

Doh! Five months with a cable modem and it takes someone else to point out the obvious. :)

**I remained pretty stoic until the pallbearers turned on the top of the steps on their way back into the Basilica**

That moment got me too.

[Salvation]

**it is reversed...so that the ordained face their people.**

I figured this was the reason! Sort of a final "God be with you!" (Good-bye)

[Okies love Dubya 2]

I think it got to me because it was 'wow, we're never going to see him again--he's really gone.' If I hadn't been trying to get the baby back to sleep, I think I would have been sobbing :(

I also heard last night that he writes for the Wanderer.

That moment got me too.

Me three. I'm a terrible funeral cryer anyway, I don't even have to know the people - I still lose it. As soon as I see other people crying, like in the crowd today, I'm toast.
I'm glad DH went to work early so I could sit and sniffle in peace without him thinking I'm a big baby.

That's exactly what I was feeling, too.

IN case anyone's interested, the ETWN rebroadcast has just begun again...12 noon mountain, 2 eastern...

Very, very, very *good* light infantry. Ever see one of those guys give a demonstration? Stunning to see them in action - those halberds are *not* just ceremonial pieces.
