Welcome lavaroise. I gather St.Louie1 is explaining about the hugs? LOL -- mind if I listen in? I still haven't figured it out exactly. I have noticed that he tends to get winded by dansangel's hugs though. ;)

Today started raining and now it's a beautiful, light-hearted day outside. The mecurial moods of the weather are following the flow of my day, which started out pretty terribly and is now proceeding quite wonderfully.

[Billie]

LOL! YIKES! How awful to even think of such a thing as taking flowers that don't belong to you! How very hillary-ish. :)

[lavaroise]

La Varoise in French?

You're the second freeper who finds out. (It is the feminin for Le Varois). I'm no lady but she is a sort of mascot lady reminding me of times past.

[lavaroise]

Oh grooooan...that is soooo bad.

I just like owing one to you...

[Billie]

My other name is porcupine. I don't think I have a chance.

Well, unless you're a 'girl' porcupine, there's not much danger of getting a hug from louiewolf. :) I mean, he loves hugs and all, but don't think he'd be willing to risk being stabbed a gazillion times to get one. :)

"To: lavaroise; LadyX
You talkin' 'bout NAN, lavarock?

Pfffftttt....are you going to take that from LadyX-Y-Z????"

Instigator...:(
Why don't ya use the whole alphabet while you're at it?

[Billie]

Beer... So much more than just a breakfast drink!

LOL! Did you see this, 'nad? "Beer - it's what's for dinner."

'pod, 'nad makes his own beer. You two should talk about this. LOL!

'All mankind is in their debt'

02/04/2003

By BRUCE NICHOLS / The Dallas Morning News

HOUSTON - The lives of the seven Columbia astronauts were celebrated Tuesday in a short, somber service laced with Old Testament wisdom and attended by thousands who remembered them as explorers who dared to dream.

"Today we remember not only one moment of tragedy but seven lives of purpose and achievement," President Bush said at the service. "To leave behind Earth and air and gravity is an ancient dream of humanity - for this seven it was a dream fulfilled."

President Bush wipes his face before speaking at the memorial service.

Thousands of people bunched together on a mass of green lawn stretching more than 200 yards from the white, square-shaped building that houses Mission Control at the Johnson Space Center. Many of them knew the astronauts who died early Saturday when space shuttle Columbia disintegrated in the skies over Texas.

President Bush encouraged the mourners to remember that "great endeavors are inseparable from great risks." And he told the NASA workers at the private memorial - which was also aired on all major networks and news channels - that, "In your grief you are responding as your friends would have wished, with focus, profession and unbroken faith in the mission of this agency."

"The families here today shared in the courage of those they loved, but now they must face life without them," the president said. "The star is lonely, but you are not alone. In time you will find comfort and the grace to see you through."

" How much longer can one pout to a lady and exclusivity?"

Perceptive man, you are!

We ladies here believe in civility and forgiveness
and demureness - bribery - sweetness -
and sometimes, even payback..:))
