As we settle into the nighttime of dispair, fret not, for the Sun will rise again!

Good morning!!

We, here, will always remember those who died on September 11, 2001, as we seek to protect the Republic from all who will do her harm!!

President Gerald Ford's health has taken a turn for the worse. That's all there is at the moment.

As reported here yesterday, scientists in Canada have been able to cure diabetes in mice.

The Iranian President says "no country in the world looks upon America as a friend."

And in Britain, a professor is suggesting that clothes for fat people should have a helpline number sewn into them.

For AMERICA - The Right Way, I remain yours in the Cause, the Chairman.

NINE SHOPPING DAYS LEFT!!

[Molly Pitcher]

Chairman, thank you, and thank you for repeating the fascinating news about the possible diabetes breakthrough. Our son's 20th anniversary fighting that disease comes Monday. He was in the hospital the whole week before Christmas that year, and was discharged Christmas Eve. We were pretty stunned/ nervous/exhausted taking him home that night.

[Miss Marple]

Good morning! I am interested in that article, too. My dad died from heart problems brought on by diabetes, as well as other complications, and I hope that a cure spares others from that type of suffering.

[Miss Marple]

Evan Bayh has announced that he is NOT going to seek the presidency. I find this very interesting, considering he had the largest warchest after Senator Pantsuit.

*sigh*

Just popped in and found the news about our kayak .... a whole lot of kneelin' will be going on ... 'tis true.

Old Soul has a bump on his noggin .... he swung around too fast and bonked his head of the doorknob .... clearly not the brightest canine in the pack ...

[lysie]

Good morning,everyone.

I'm feeling better...not 100% though.

The sun is up; I'm on my second cup. That's my ....(That's my pitiful poetical contribution)

[The Coopster]

Hey you!

Haven't seen your posts in a while.

How's my fellow mud worshipper?

[Guenevere]

I've declared today is a 'day off'...

Hubby is still struggling with an upper respiratory virus....very miserable.
So far I'm OK.....but I'm Lysoling the house, wiping down phones & computers and sleeping on the sofa, now that he's in his coughing stage.

Last night I gave him an old fashioned Vicks Vaporub rubdown, just like my grandmother did me.
It really helped!....

We're trying to get well, stay well....as young son is due in for Christmas and we've planned a camping trip for the whole family!

And those of you who have loved ones in nursing, assisted living homes....I know you're feeling ragged too.
I talked with a friend yesterday....we were both there for an event at my dad's-(her mom's) assisted living...

..She said she is exhausted, and I knew I was.

Next week will get even busier---more running around, shopping/baking--, so I declared a 'day off' today!

Christmas shouldn't be a time of exhaustion & ragged nerves....

..It should be glorious, and a homecoming for many families...and peaceful.

I've surprised myself at my organizational skills this year...(I was not organized at birth!)...

..and mainly I'm OK/cool cause I kept reminding myself of the real meaning of this season!

Having said that, is it me.....or do the stores, shopping malls, etc. seem a bit lackluster this year....kinda ho hum?

ALmost like Christmas has come and gone....and it's still a week away?

Items are already being marked down, way down.

I bought a DVD interactive game at Belk's 3 weeks ago....and returned it yesterday for a price correction because they had already marked it down 20 dollars!!!!!!

No one much says 'Merry Christmas' and folks don't really seem in the mood.

Again, is it me.....or do you all notice this too.

My husband says it's because Christmas has been hijacked by the liberals so much, folks are just tired of fighting it.

[lysie]

Good morning. Sorry to hear that your hubby is not feeling well.

old fashioned Vicks Vaporub rubdown

Mom used to do and the pin an clean old sock around our neck to keep the heat in.

[Miss Marple]

Hi, Guennie! I haven't been out shopping much, as we got our buying done early. It does seem that things aren't as festive this year, but I have attributed that to our warm weather here. It doesn't seem very Christmasy in these parts when the temperature is in the 60's. It feels like March here.

I woke up this morning with the cat sleeping on my stomach and my daughter's little dog sleeping down by my feet. I felt like Ellie Mae Clampitt with her critters.

I am wrapping and baking today...hope that gets me in the mood!

[Guenevere]

Lysie, that's exactly what my grandmother did!!
..Vicks with an old, clean sock safety pinned to my neck..LOLOL!!

I always worried the safety pin would come undone....I was just a kid.

How you and I must have looked with old socks pinned around our necks....LOL!

Indeed Jane, not a lot of merriment at the malls, for sure.

[M Kehoe]

I and the First lady will ask the Lord of all to give wisdom and skill to kayak's doctors to cure her and make her whole. We also ask the Lord to comfort kayak's family in this time of crisis.

In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

GOOD A.M. CHAIR, ALL, FROM THE MISSISSIPPI GULF COAST, USA, BRUISED BUT NOT BROKEN!!!!

Needless to say that our 'coffee' conversation was on the foster children coming, in fact, D going to visit them this morning. Permission has been given to her to take them out and she is thinking about taking them for some hamburgers, maybe go to WalMart, Tracy is really excited, so are me, Terry and scpically Allie. Here is the clincher, yesterday we were able to hold a baby, I mean baby too and D is thinking, I think I know what she is thinking and that is one reason she wants to go back today.
I got a neighbor who told me he was a foster child and was adopted by the foster parents and he, his wife, her mother offered to do anything at all to help with the children. Amazing how things just happen, coming from our neighbors on both side of us as well.

It was mentioned that maybe D will home school the 5 year of girl, don't think so, we think that it will do her better if she went to school for the association with the other children. We think it will help her.

Sorry bout my ranting and raving but this is one each old man just waiting for those children.

I hear MO calling for his breakfast, right outside my door too. Ya know, I think they have me figured out.

Proverbs 27:5

Wounds from a friend are better than kisses from an enemy.

Merry Christmas!

[gulfcoast6]

Goodness gracious, here is the secret to getting to feel better, a small bowl of grits with lots of butter!!!!

[lysie]

Thanks, Toby. I bet that would help.
