The newspaper said the United States has a warrant for the arrest of Abu Anas Al-Liby, the most senior al Qaeda member to be captured since the start of the U.S.-led war in Afghanistan, but has been negotiating with Sudan for more than a month to have him transferred to Egypt.

Look what some kind soul donated to the Canteen. An omelet maker, as seen on T.V. We can make omelets in the microwave. Any kind you want - Mexican, Denver, Cheese, Vegetarian, Plain - whatever. Also have some colloidal juices (=healthy) and a San Francisco bakery assortment.

And Happy First Day of Spring to all....

Good 1st Day of Spring to you Billie. Sunny skies and 72 degrees predicted for today.

Looks like a good day to work in the yard and garden.

Here is a picture of a very proud Mom. I am sure she is a worried Mom also.

Brossoie says her son, who received the Bronze star for valor in the Afghanistan war, has always been "very passionate about the honor." (AP Photo/Stephen J. Boitano) -

Happy 1st day of spring (even though it feels like mid-winter here in KY).

VOA has, thankfully, posted a reminder to all FReepers that the Rick Rescorla story is going to be covered on Dateline NBC tonight at 8 pm EST. Please go to THIS LINK for further details from VOA.

No, I still can't see your logo! But, as I said, as long as everyone else can, then it must be working, and it's just a glitch here for me. My other AOL images have opened - yours is the only one that isn't. However, I saw yours last night. Go figure!

I know - it's probably T Man - he hacked into my files and put a hex on some of them. :)

**Happy Spring!! It's snowing and freezing rain here in Connecticut! **

It's chilly here too...about 45 presently but should get up to 70 today. brrr. :o)

I'll be planting a few bushes and some snapdragons in the front gardens. I'll be thinking of you.

**i'm just kidding with ya**

[Billie]

Now SEEEEEEEE?! No sooner had I posted my reply and looked again at yours, it opened! T Man must have lifted the spell again. :)

[daisyscarlett]

What, no beast today? Beamer will be thrilled. Your plans do include him today, don't they?

[SAMWolf]

Morning All. Gonna be busy today, they actually expect me to do some work. I'll be hit and runn posting until I get home.

Happy 1st day of spring from rainy Virginia Beach, VA! (from a Navy wife and native of Louisville, KY and yes it's pronounced 'louavull', folks *L* Get it right please)

Hampton Roads is getting geared up for the (long overdue) homecoming of our beloved USS Theodore Roosevelt on Mar 27th. I don't know anyone on board but I'll still watch it on the local news and shed tears of joy for this homecoming. Then I have to prepare for my husband's homecoming (fast attack sub not attached to TR battle group BTW) in early April. *s*

But for now, since my youngest son is taking a nap, I'm gonna follow his lead. *s* Have a great day everyone!

[4TheFlag]

Thanks for the chow Lady!! Looks great!!!

Beamer!!! Get away from that table!!!
