A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day 09-16-02

Carry_Okie and Billie

[Billie]

Morning, Grampa Dave! Great way to start the week off, isn't it?! :)

[LurkerNoMore!]

Thanks for the ping, Syncro.

Meeting NattieShea was a true pleasure!

I'd like to add something I noticed about her and her sister. Yes, they were both well mannered and mature, but they are also alot of fun to be around. I watched them run and play and laugh, and it is obvious they are enjoying their childhood as well as knockin' 'em dead scholastically.

Kudos to you and your wife, Carrie_Okie.

[Billie]

Oh good I am glad you saw it!

It was amazing. Hard to believe the size of that flag!

[Temple Owl]

Good morning Finest. You really are.

[The Thin Man]

What an absolutely delightful profile. It made my day! Maybe one day I'll be as bright and well-rounded as Miss NattieShea, but I doubt it. :-)

[Carry_Okie]

Here they were at a birthday party for a friend of mine:

They were going on a hay ride.

We like it here.

It's a pleasure to get to know you and your wonderful family. God bless and keep you all. JL

Good morning Finest. You really are.

[NattieShea]

Thank you so much for your nice letters to me. You taught me about how diabetes affects people.

[Billie]

Good morning, T Man. I see you are on your very best behavior today. :) Understandable, considering the guest of honor today. :)

[NattieShea]

Hi Billie! Wow! THANK YOU!

I don't know what to say!

Santa Cruz may be known around the world as "Surf City," but our appeal for outdoor enthusiasts doesn't end with the waves. If there's an activity involving water, boards, wheels or feet, you can bet that there's a place for it in Santa Cruz County. Kayaking, mountain biking, cycling, hiking, golfing, sailing, fishing, camping, horseback riding, kiteboarding, windsurfing, skateboarding, and of course surfing, are just some of the activities you can enjoy in Santa Cruz County's great outdoors.

Sounds heavenly to me.

[Billie]

So glad to see you're posting these other photos. I had a hard time knowing just when to stop!

[NattieShea]

How would a Thin Man be well rounded anyway?

[Grampa Dave]

Great way. This thread and the thread about the 5 all American Al Qaeda thugs arrested in Buffalo being registered Rats has made my day.

On one hand we have a great Conservative Carry and his daughters. On the other hand, the connection between the rats and the Islamakazi Thugs gets clearer each day. I think that there is an incredible lesson between these two differences.

[Billie]

Are there some phlox in those phlowers, M? :)))

By the age of eight, she had completed her first year of high-school algebra and was factoring quadratics in her head.

< snip >

Her political education in political economics is taking a serious turn to the right. She started a college-level economics text last year and is learning ever more about how liberals think. Last year's term paper concerned five books by Charles Dickens, An Angry Boy Who Changed the World

Here is the conclusion to that paper:

Dickens was so distracted with his anger over his childhood, that he couldn't see the benefits of the Industrial Revolution. Industry gave work to poor people so that they could provide children food and shelter. Technology made essential goods available to those who couldn't otherwise afford them. The migration of workers to the factories spurred business for remaining farmers. Industry created demand for interesting new skills. Technology created new opportunities for professionals to solve complex problems. The Industrial Revolution produced the wealth that, in time, improved living and working conditions for everyone. ^25,26

Through his novels, Dickens’ subjective perception of the Industrial Revolution created a culture of hostility against industrial development and a habit of depending upon government to solve the problems by restricting business. That cultural bias has the capability to harm the poor and middle class workers whom Dickens was trying to help.

It took WAY too long, but she did OK.

Whoa !! I'm sitting here with my jaw wide open, and speechless. I'm impressed.

Way to go Powerbaby !

Hi, Nattie! I'm glad Dad let you stop in for a little while! Hope I got the purple right! You are a such a delight!

Santa Cruz County offers a lodging and dining selection to satisfy every style, taste, and palate. From remote inns in the woods with warm, homemade muffins at breakfast to luxurious resort facilities where you can relax and enjoy full-body pampering, we've got it all.

Sounding better and better.

Are there really THAT many commies out there?
