President Bush honored the 2006 NHL Stanley Cup (hockey) Championship Carolina Hurricanes at the White House. [I lost the b key on my keyboard with the Great Water Mishap earlier this week so if I type a b that doesn't show up, and forget to copy and paste it in, please insert it mentally into the text. In my replies I might start typing a v in place of b.]
Secretary of State Rice hosted a meeting of "the Quartet" to discuss events in the Middle East.
Defense Secretary Gates and General Pace held a news conference at the Pentagon. Text here.
National Security Adviser Hadley conducted the press briefing today, discussing the National Intelligence Estimate (NIE), text and video here. The NIE is "an effort to bring together all the elements of the intelligence community and come out with a consolidated set of judgments about the situation in Iraq." It is a new document, provided to the president to develop a new strategy or new approach to Iraq.
Laura Bush promoted heart health awareness by attending the Red Dress Heart Truth fashion show in New York.
GO COLTS!!
Well, that worked :)
Seriously, say hello from all of us. We miss him tons.
"Hope there are some photos"
Thanks for reminding me . . . I will definitely take my camera!
LOL thanks for understanding. It's kind of funny to read my b-less posts.
green with envy!!! Tell him the President needs to talk more to the people!!! WITHOUT the media filtering....he needs to talk about Iraq~not shy away from it!!!
The differences are subtle, but sublime. You'll have to taste for yourself.
OK..I'm jealous!
Seriously, I hope you have fun. Lots of Pics please.
I do hope you'll take lots of photos!
Thanks for the kudos, kitkat.
Honey doesn't live here any more. Actually, he wasn't much of a honey 6efore he decided to depart. Someone suggested I use the 6 key as a su6stitute for the second letter of the alpha6et. What do you think? Do you like v or 6 6etter?
Even if I get the replacement, I'll keep this key6oard 6ecause you never know when something might happen and all the stores are closed and you are going to 6e desperate to use your PC!
The way American southerners 6ar6ecue meat, it is slathered with 6ar6ecue sauces whose flavors would make me shudder to think of adding mustard, and I LOVE mustard. I even eat it on eggs. If the chef left off the traditional sauces, then mustard would go very well.
Of course you thanked me and it was my pleasure to be of help to you.
Using the 6 key was a great suggestion. You can't get any closer to b than that.
How do you use honey to get the real "6" 6ack?
Dr Deb:
Tony Snow will definitely be awesome. Saw him in Wisconsin for a luncheon in which he spoke. I could of listened to him for hours. And yes - he does go around to each and every table for pictures and talking.
He is unbelievable........Enjoy yourself!!!!!!
Okay...I hate you.
Just kidding, but I am officially jealous that you get to meet Tony Snow...and get to hear him speak.
Tell him HI from the Snowflakes at FR!
Hey Everyone. I just want to thank you all for your prayers. Here is an update on what's going on.
My Grandmother had her knee surgery this morning. It went great. She's fine and back home resting already. On the deal with her rapid weight loss the doctor's still don't know anything. She should get her blood test results back Monday or Tuesday. If she's able to walk from her surgery by Monday or Tues then she'll go into the hospital for more tests. Bless her heart. She told me the other day she's so scared it's something terribly wrong that's causing her weight loss. Please, continue praying it's nothing serious and if it is please pray she can overcome it.
My Mom went back to the doctor the other day. Her doctor had no idea what those sores are on her face so he took 5 viles of her blood. She has a very bad staff infection and yes the places on her face are staff infection. It is spreading. Her doctor put her on the highest powered antibiotic he could without putting her in the hospital. He wanted to put her in the hospital but she talked him out of it. ugh Personally I think he should have put her in anyway. He said if she gets worse over the weekend he wlll or if she's not better by Monday then she'll be put in the hospital. Continue praying for her as well...please.
I am still sick. I'm a little better but not much. Most of you know I have bad asthma. I am having to switch asthma specialists b/c the one I'm seeing now is a quack. She gives me medicines that I have told her I've taken before and they don't work. Anyway, I don't feel bad at all. I'm just exhausted b/c my cough gets 100 times worse at night when I lay down. So, I can't rest. Sometimes I pray that I'll collapse just so I can get put in the hospital so I can rest.
That's all for my update. Thanks everyone for your prayers. Prayer is a powerful thing! I love you all!!
At least half of this should 6e interesting.
