Why should any CONSERVATIVE AMERICAN care about a wedding of ROYALs?? Wake me when its over!!!! I’m not into the MONARCH THING. We do have a KING here — King Zero of KENYA!! ;-)
I think you’re forgetting that over here the steering wheel is on the other side!
Hmmmm......there’s problems afoot-—before the ceremony, Harry went up to the three and chatted with them-—the one on the right, in beige, dimpled up and gave Harry a 100 watt smile.
Chelsy’s not gonna like that.
The Shuttle Launch has been scrubbed due to technical problems! :)
I just sent an email to FOX & Friends and one to Smith himself.
Thoughtful and sweet .. just as she appears to be.
She’s a glorious addition to the monarchy.
I wait on my husband every day. I do his laundry, cook his meals, and clean the house. I consider it an honor.
Well, here I am at Cape Kennedy and the launch has been scrubbed!
Sorry for you but that has to royally piss zero.
Complete trash. No class commies.
I think that more priests should be clear about the requirement for modest dress in church (and not just for weddings).
&&&
Amen. Some of the outfits I see on women in church are just appalling. I feel sorry for the men who are trying to concentrate on the Mass.
Look at the prom dresses these days. They show much too much, but, then, unfortunately, many teenaged girls are totally lacking in modesty or moral constraint when it comes to sexuality.
Bummer.
Did the Zero’s pending arrival jinx the launch.
Oh - is THAT what is going on!? ;)
No wonder they were always honking and waving at me. I figured they were just happy to see a Yank!
The 3rd photo shows Moochelle from the horse's rear. There is a very large extra panel (blue vertical stripes) insert in the back of the shirt to cover the girth. Incidentally, that photo reminds me of this one:
The thought crossed my mind. Obama shutters the shuttle program. NASA workers were banned from watching the fruits of their labor launch d/t Obama's visit today.
Perhaps the launch is postponed while Obama enroute on the chance he has schedule conflicts (e.g. golf and basketball) in a few days.
I do as well. Generally my mornings are not hetic at all. I was trying to watch and do what I normally do for him. I only work part time outside the home. I better get back to the dusting. I hate dusting.
It’s a wedding. Hello........... My husband had the same attitude. Fortunately, he had to go to work.
In the wee hours of the morning after all is put away, the land is quiet, the Queen is asleep in Buckingham Palace and the Royal scepter has been polished, will we hear the young Duke report: “It’s good to be King!”
Nothing against them, but thats what I was thinking. Didn’t we go to war with them a while back so their lives wouldn’t affect us?
