....As he picked her up and hugged her, she repeated over and over, "Daddy, I found you!"

That is so sweet, and as always, today's daily bread provides nourishment for our soul.

[Billie]

LOL!! Cute! (- she's pointing her finger at us as if to "tell" us to wear red!)

Well, yes, she is. And are you? I am, to be sure, wearing my favorite hat!

[Billie]

Good morning - got your red tie on today? Everyone's wearing a bit of red today, you know!

[Kitty Mittens]

I Love your Graphic of our First Lady, (((((((Billie)))))))!

[Billie]

Ah, yes - I see you *are* wearing your red! :)

Thank you, Miss Kitty - you are very elegant this morning. :) We should call you "Scarlett Kitty". :)

Well I'm a little limited on my ability to wear red on Fridays. I work 2 jobs & my 2nd job requires me to wear dark blue pants & a white shirt which I just wear to both jobs. I have tried to wear some red (clip on) earrings but I have almost lost them more than once, so I would rather not wear them. I could wear a red neck scarf, in fact I have one with a flag motif on it, but we are not allowed to wear scarfs at my part time job (that requires me to wear the uniform). I have a flag pin, but I forgot it today.: )

[Billie]

You can always wear red lipstick - like I do. LOL

News you can use with all the "anti-s":

For Immediate Release
Office of the Press Secretary
October 6, 2005

Fact Sheet: Plots, Casings, and Infiltrations Referenced
in President Bush's Remarks on the War on Terror

President Discusses War on Terror
at National Endowment for Democracy

Overall, the United States and our partners have disrupted at least ten serious al-Qaida terrorist plots since September 11--including three al-Qaida plots to attack inside the United States. We have stopped at least five more al-Qaida efforts to case targets in the United States or infiltrate operatives into our country.

10 Plots

The West Coast Airliner Plot: In mid-2002 the U.S. disrupted a plot to attack targets on the West Coast of the United States using hijacked airplanes. The plotters included at least one major operational planner involved in planning the events of 9/11.

The East Coast Airliner Plot: In mid-2003 the U.S. and a partner disrupted a plot to attack targets on the East Coast of the United States using hijacked commercial airplanes.

The Jose Padilla Plot: In May 2002 the U.S. disrupted a plot that involved blowing up apartment buildings in the United States. One of the plotters, Jose Padilla, also discussed the possibility of using a "dirty bomb" in the U.S.

The 2004 UK Urban Targets Plot: In mid-2004 the U.S. and partners disrupted a plot that involved urban targets in the United Kingdom. These plots involved using explosives against a variety of sites.

The 2003 Karachi Plot: In the Spring of 2003 the U.S. and a partner disrupted a plot to attack Westerners at several targets in Karachi, Pakistan.

The Heathrow Airport Plot: In 2003 the U.S. and several partners disrupted a plot to attack Heathrow Airport using hijacked commercial airliners. The planning for this attack was undertaken by a major 9/11 operational figure.

The 2004 UK Plot: In the Spring of 2004 the U.S. and partners, using a combination of law enforcement and intelligence resources, disrupted a plot to conduct large-scale bombings in the UK.

The 2002 Arabian Gulf Shipping Plot: In late 2002 and 2003 the U.S. and a partner nation disrupted a plot by al-Qa'ida operatives to attack ships in the Arabian Gulf. The 2002 Straits of Hormuz Plot: In 2002 the U.S. and partners disrupted a plot to attack ships transiting the Straits of Hormuz.

The 2003 Tourist Site Plot: In 2003 the U.S. and a partner nation disrupted a plot to attack a tourist site outside the United States.

5 Casings and Infiltrations

The U.S. Government & Tourist Sites Tasking: In 2003 and 2004, an individual was tasked by al-Qa'ida to case important U.S. Government and tourist targets within the United States.

The Gas Station Tasking: In approximately 2003, an individual was tasked to collect targeting information on U.S. gas stations and their support mechanisms on behalf of a senior al-Qa'ida planner.

Iyman Faris & the Brooklyn Bridge: In 2003, and in conjunction with a partner nation, the U.S. government arrested and prosecuted Iyman Faris, who was exploring the destruction of the Brooklyn Bridge in New York. Faris ultimately pleaded guilty to providing material support to al-Qa'ida and is now in a federal correctional institution.

2001 Tasking: In 2001, al-Qa'ida sent an individual to facilitate post-September 11 attacks in the U.S. U.S. law enforcement authorities arrested the individual.

2003 Tasking: In 2003, an individual was tasked by an al-Qa'ida leader to conduct reconnaissance on populated areas in the U.S.
