President Bush says "great job" on the tribute to The Guild daisyscarlett!

Lodwick, a special thanks to you! Besides your wonderful company everyday I always enjoy all the funny jokes, links and pictures you bring by.

Everyone at the The Guild is a great bunch of people and I'm honored to be a part of it everyday.

I've had a chance to meet two Guilders in person, Iowa Granny and LBGA. Two great ladies I'm proud to call friends. IG and I only had a short time to meet while she was in town. LBGA and I got together twice, once where we spent the day at the pool when she visited Disney World for a convention, (LBGA there's money in it for you if you don't post the picture of us sitting at the bar) the other time for a nice Japanese dinner. I hope one day we can all get together for a big Guild party!

Thanks for your FR's Finest threads Billie, they're a wonderful addition to FR! I wish I had more time to do more than lurk occasionally but HLL has kept me busy with The Guild threads.

I'll post some of my favorite stuff from The Guild later.

As if going to jail wasn't humiliating enough, Amy Fisher gives Lizzie tips on how to survive in the joint. I can hear Lizzie muttering, "How gauche!"

AMY Fisher has some tips on how fellow scandal siren Lizzie Grubman can survive her final days in Suffolk County Jail. Fisher, who went to jail for shooting her ex-lover's wife, is now a columnist for a free Garden City, L.I., newspaper, the New Island Ear. She addressed a cheeky checklist of jailhouse tips to the penned-up publicity princess, who will get out of jail Nov. 29 with time off for good behavior.

* "If bland mashed potatoes and plain noodles are not your cup of tea, you don't have to accept this common food," Fisher writes. "Since you're Jewish, ask for a kosher meal. You'll receive a TV dinner with enough frozen kugel to keep the meat on your bones."

* "Be sure to shower in your socks. If you don't, the foot fungus you'll acquire will last far longer than your stay. It would look hideous all squished up in a new pair of Prada shoes. Even after the guards make you scrub the shower rim for a few hours, it's still there. Be careful."

* "Since a hairbrush is a foreign object to the jail keepers, you develop knots quickly. Don't fret, your golden locks can be saved. Just find a kind inmate to whip them into cornrows."

* "As for maintaining the color, you can always volunteer to mop the floors. No one will know if some of the bleach ends up on your roots. Besides, mopping can prove to be a beneficial skill; you'll know if your maid is doing it properly."

* "You'll be able to watch television in jail. If you're not a Jerry Springer fan, you'll become one. If you're very lucky, your fellow convicts will put on the soap operas in the afternoon; it should give you some good dramatic pointers for your ‘released from jail' speech."

In memory of my fellow Vietnam helicopter pilots who were killed in that war the following were lost on NOV 25. God bless them all.

1967 MAJ Evart E. Robeson (USA) -- US Army, Age 35, Rapid City, South Dakota
1968 1LT Johnny W. Benton (USAR) -- 11th ACR, Age 21, Jerome, Idaho
1970 WO1 Freddie L. Lockhart (USAR) -- 1 SIG BDE (USAR), Age 37, Terra Alta, West Virginia
1971 MAJ Robert B. Swenck (USAF) -- 37 ARRS, Age 38, Louisville, Kentucky
1971 CPT John W. George (USAF) -- 37 ARRS, Age 26, Big Rock, Tennessee

From a friend of MAJ Robert Swenck's family;
You have never been forgotten.
Bob, you certainly made an impact on the students you taught and those you didn't. I still remember your showing me the coffee table that you had crafted for Jim. It was beautiful and so were you. You are not a forgotten individual. You mattered. It was an honor to know you. Love - Sheryl

Tribute to MAJ Swenck and CPT George: KIA, Gia Dinh, South Vietnam

MAJ Swenck and CPT were killed when their HH-53C (Jolly Green 70), took ground fire during a rescue mission. The crew stopped at a forward base camp to make sure the chopper was safe to fly. They encountered a heavy rain storm on the flight back, when the chopper took more fire and the pilot was hit. It began a slow, controlled descent and impacted in the Nha Be River. Once it hit the water it did a severe end over flip, and the chopper sank immediately. Three men, Capt. John W. George, Maj. Robert B. Swenck, and A1C Thomas D. Prose were killed immediately.

Today in the creepy category we have...

IS Oprah Winfrey the next L. Ron Hubbard? The touchy-feely talk show titan is the leader of a new American religion, says University of North Carolina professor Kathryn Lofton. Oprah's 20 million followers seek spiritual transformation by following a way of life and rituals designated by her - including reading specific texts, writing and shopping, Lofton says. The professor defines Oprahism's primary tenets as "self-indulgence and relaxed reflection."

Thanks for bringing the links - I need to know this stuff. ;-)

Good morning. What a swell thread. It's fun to remember the "early days" at the Guild when we were tracking gifts of tacky glassware, china, golf clubs and fur coats to the felonious former First Couple. Now we just try to keep track of the Harlem Globetrotter as he jets around the world in search of $150,000 speaking fees and whatever babes his hosts offer.

I'll ditto the comment on HLL's chocolate chip recipe, as well as Timeout's horseradish salad. I've made both and they're outstanding.

[FreeTheHostages]

Wow, see, I didn't know ANY of this! Thanks for a very informative post.

"self-indulgence and relaxed reflection"

wow. From what little I know, that describes Oprah's theories perfectly.

[Temple Owl]

I think I told you this before, but it is worth repeating. YOU GUYS ARE JUST GREAT--WONDERFUL--TERRIFIC. It is a pleasure to view all of your stuff.
Luv yez.
