Now neat that you scanned NattieShea's signature to post here! That is very special, but so, too, is your purple FR Finest graphic for her!

Our 4br, 2.5b, 2400 sf wood frame home appraised this year at $930,000. We live in the sticks on 14 acres.

Good afternoon, Pippin.

Isn't NattieShea something? Imagine how different our country would be if even half of our children had the upbringing that she is receiving. The hope for our future is in our families, that is what it all boils down to.

Dems Fume as Al Qaeda Cell Political Ties Revealed

Democratic Party insiders are said to be furious over published reports identifying the five al Qaeda cell members arrested over the weekend in Lackawanna, New York as registered Democrats.

Sunday's Buffalo News initially revealed the inconvenient detail, noting first that "members of Lackawanna's Yemeni community describe the five arrested men as 'all-American.'"

"They include a telemarketer, a used car salesman and a former high school soccer star who was named friendliest in his class. Four are married, and three have children. All are registered voters — Democrats," announced USA Today on Monday, picking up the News report.

News of the al Qaeda cell's political affiliation can only exacerbate the party's already growing image as being soft on terrorism. Monday morning, for instance, noting that the Lackawanna five will be unable to go to the polls in the future, WABC Radio's Curtis Sliwa joked, "There's five less votes for Hillary Clinton."

Some Republicans see the "Al Qaeda were Democrats" reports as poetic justice.

Over the years, Democratic Party spinmeisters and their liberal media friends have repeatedly attempted to make hay over the political ties of domestic terrorists like Timothy McVeigh, whom President Clinton once tried to tie to conservative radio talker Rush Limbaugh.

Hi Billie. Sorry I have been a no-show around here. Took a day off yesterday and just vegetated. I think that is what I must have needed because today I feel soooooo much better. :-)

[Billie]

CO, the funny thing is that The Thin Man has had this long-standing "Chalk One Up For Me" thingie with a couple of us here! And to have NattieShea play on his 'well-rounded' remark without knowing him was just too clever!

[Billie]

I hope you're having a good day, Pippin. :)

[Pippin]

Yes, She is someone special.

An example of what can be accomplished when we keep our children out of the clutches of the system wich poisins a child's mind as soon as they start in kindegarten.

God bless NattieShea and Carry_Okie and thier family.

[Billie]

:)I think it's time to call the pharmer. :)

[Syncro]

Wow, beautiful pictures thanks.

PowerBaby, what a nice smile!

I cut a lot of firewood in that area in the sixties...is your place right off 17? It looks familiar.

What a beautiful house you built, Carry.

[Billie]

This is what Grampa Dave was talking about earlier this morning! I say, "Who's surprised?"

[lodwick]

Goodness! Wasn't that what Prop.13 (?) was all about? The actual tax is on what the owner paid for the property - and not some whackjob's perceived valuation?

[Pippin]

I wasn't feeling too well over the weekend, I think I'm coming down with some sort of cold or virus. I came to work today, and feel kinda bad and kind of good at the same time.

Oh, Well, I'll try to take it easy for a bit.

How is your day going?

[Carry_Okie]

Thank you. We'll gladly accept all the prayers we can get. Things are getting a bit dicey around here.

[lodwick]

Even bears need some down time

Great to know that you're back up to speed

[Gabz]

Thank you for the lovely welcome.

I don't often post on the Finest threads - but I do enjoy them - As I said sometime ago you and your team do a fabulous job with them!!!!

[Billie]

I'm glad you're feeling better! I wasn't around much over the weekend either. I've been missing daisy already though! I know how busy she has been, working to get some profiles ready for when she will be gone the end of this week and all next week! : (

[Billie]

I'm sorry you werern't feeling well this weekend either, Pip. Hope it isn't the beginning of the flu.

Day's good, thanks! :)

[Carry_Okie]

That wasn't my house Lodwick posted. We live on a ridge overlooking the old Glenwood resort.

Here is PowerBaby doing a little, um, constructive play.

That's a Bobcat excavator... and it's running. :-)
