The President's plane is arriving at Andrews Air Force Base at this moment.
the money part is huge for us here in NJ...$6 and even higher in some places per pack, over $18 for 3 packs, crazy
I'm not in bed yet and I want to sign up. How do we do this and still have a whole country?
Oh, maybe I can drop by sometime. I can't usually participate in graphics-heavy threads because of my dial-up, so I haven't been there.
Someday when I have some patience, I'll try. It has been in short supply the past few, tho, thanks to outside interference! Thanks for the clarification.
my daughter won't bring the baby here period...almost 11 mos. old, super anti-smoking...says it's "in" the house everywhere, which is true one must admit...
People here cry paying $4.00/pack. I can just imagine what you in NJ goes through.
Feb. 1 a county tax goes into effect to fund, get this, THE ARTS. That will raise prices 35 cents/pack more.
In my store right now my highest priced cigs are $5.20. Soon that will be $5.55. In every other county in the state of Ohio, that same pack of cigs will run about $4.90.
throw the extra weight my way, need to gain here..hoping quitting smoking vastly increases food intake and makes me gain!
I know it. Looking on the web, my goodness he has been a busy actor. I had no idea he was still acting. He was in Black Hawk Down, Babylon 5, Walker Texas Ranger, Armageddon, J.A.G. and When Harry Met Sally just to name a few.
We take this wise man's advice:

It's difficult on dial up -- so may photos.

Maica and I got to the WWII Memorial at about 4:30. A gentleman asked if we were veterans, perhaps because of our American flags. When I told him that I had been, at various times, a Navy junior, Navy wife and Navy mom, he gave us tickets to stand inside the memorial. We were standing a bit north of the color guard with a clear view of 17th street.
Just as the official cars came, two elderly gentlemen stood up from their front row folding chairs in front of us. They deserved the spot, as they were probably WWII vets themselves. We could still see between them.
The Presidential hearse stopped directly in front of us for the piping by the Navy chief. We could see the stripes of the flag covering the casket. It was very moving.
After all the official cars had passed, the boy scouts, in short sleeves, marched by. They were very impressive. Though it was about 50 degrees, they were very dignified. The people were all well behaved and respectful. It was a fine tribute to an American leader and patriot.
Precisely.
That's a very interesting exchange that went on on that thread.
More people around here should read it.
Couldn't of said it better myself!!!
This just in, Saddam(just like Edgar Stiles)IS STILL DEAD!!!!!!
**throw the extra weight my way**

This has been a good thread. Thanks for the ping. I watched all of the services for President Ford. May he rest in peace. God bless Mrs. Ford and her family.
