Good morning, All, from Las Vagas. Vacationing all week here. I have a fantasy that some day I will run into Rush or Bill Bennett on the strip here, lol! I recently built my first laptop to bring and for the first time I am connected away from home. In the past, I had too many withdrawals from FR and such that I decided it would be worth investing in a laptop.

Morning Lysie!

Always love your breakfast choices.

This Brett Favre thing continues to grow. That fellow should have stayed retired. Latest info out there is that the Packers want him back, but he'd have to now compete for the starting position against Aaron Rodgers. I think that saves him face, and gives him a chance to get back into everyone's good graces.

There are two sided to every story. I like Brett. We all make bad choices. IMO, he should take a lesson from Tony Snow..spend time with your family! That’s more precious than any football legend.

We did that last summer (on July 7 (7-7-7)) - thought it would bring good luck. Hah!! Actually we did win a few hundred - then gave it back.

We saw that communist/socialist - Jay Leno.

Yep... I think Tony Snow was a marvelous person. He got criticized an awful lot when he became press secretary, but I always thought he did a good job.

Yeah... I think Brett should concentrate on family.

I reckon time will tell.

I’m back. Today is a day of running around and tying up loose ends.

What I want to do is garden. But if I garden then I’ll be really dirty at the time to do those errands. Inside work for this AM. Maybe tonight I can garden. As long as I’m still breathing.

GOOD A.M. LADY, ALL, FROM THE MISSISSIPPI GULF COAST, USA, STILL HERE, GROWING SLOWLY FROM THE STORM BUT COMING ALONG, MORE COMMERICAL THAN RESIDENTIAL. AND WITH BREAKING NEWS! S-T-I-L-L NO SNOW!!!!

Got a apology to start with, sorry bout my mean comments about Obams, he can't help it cause he has big ears, he can't help it like I can't help posing for Play Girl, etc

If tummy doesn't stop hurting going to have to get back to New Orleans and see what is going on,

Haggle, going with Obama overseas, such a wonderful popular member of the Republican party doing such a thing, and surely you know this is one big time dig I hope.

I have come to the conclusion, there is not a better bunch of folks getting together on this site found anywhere, thanks for being here, means so much to me, breaks me out with a big ole smile every morning.

Bout time for the kids to get up and about so, will watch for the signal, door blinds opening, mu invitation to come on over.

Got to tell ya’ll something about Farve you prehaps do not know. In his new home town, Hattisburg, MS he has a very big organiation to help deprived children but as of now he is ‘busy’ talking to some folks. This information comes from his head of the organization as D called his private # given for him to be reached at the organization. He wants to take time off with his wife also. D is going to get someting from him for the ‘Back to School’ meeting for foster children, children in shelters, tell you he sure has goine up several notches in my book.

It is really weird. I can take long deep breaths when I think about it. No impedement. But sometimes it feels as if a band is about my chest and I have to push against that band. It happens when I’ve been sings, or speaking, or exerting my body (like walking down the driveway to get the mail).

Farve sure sounds like a wonderful man. It seems to me that he has to say good-bye to football. It must have been the primary activity of his life; I don’t mean priority but the #1 means to acheive his goals; and he loved it. I think it must be hard for him to walk away and is trying to strike a deal so that he can still be involved. I remember that when I left college and realized that more than likely I would never again be in such a great performing group. That put me in a depression for a long time.

Thanks Toby!

I've always admired him, and still do. I just hope this thing with the Packers turns out ok.

There isn't a Packer fan here in Wisconsin who wouldn't love to see him at the helm again this fall.

I just think its gotten to be a three ring circus at this point. I hope it gets resolved soon.

Good morning, Toby and all y'all, from overcast skies in NC.

Big story on the New Yorker Magazine cover about the Obamas in the WH. They say it's satire. McCain and Obama liberals think it goes too far. To be satire, it must contan an element of truth and be humorous.

I'm still chuckling over an FR poster's remark yesterday: "If you stand real close to Obama, you can hear the ocean."

Now, that's satire. LOL

One of my fav. memories is a vacation in LV. It was hotter ‘n hell and we would wake up, stay in the pool until noon, dress and hit the a/c’d casinos for food and the sights, then hit shows in the evening. Loved it.

ALL:
Please phone 202.225.0100 and voice your displeasure with the gas prices and that we need to DRILL here at home. That’s Nancy Pelosi’s office number. If nothing else say DRILL HERE, DRILL NOW or a variation thereof.

I tried Friday afternoon, but her mail box was full. He he - will keep it up.

Thanks, and a good week to all.

Just back read yesterday’s thread. Are you seeing a cardiologist? Please mention dusky finger tips. Dusky at rest or walking? (((hugs)))

What are “dusky” fingertips?

To: bevlar

No, no, no, no, no! The fingers are NOT dusky. I’m sorry if I wasn’t clear.

The very first thing that happened in the ER was checking the heart. They didn’t even complete the paperwork when they walked me into an exam room and hooked me up to an EKG machine. After they were satisfied that I wasn’t having a heart attack then, they took a blood sample to insure that I had never had a heart attack. Then they took a history and my bp was being monitored throughout. Before I left the ER they did a chest x-ray. The diagnosis that day was based on my history and the fact that I had a rumbling cough and shortness of breath when trying to talk.

That is what is puzzling about this thing. All the tests are coming back negative. Everything is within the normal parameters. I have no trouble drawing a breath when asked. I’m fine. Except I have trouble breathing.

“Dusky” means a darkened, bluish color. It indicates the patient isn’t getting enough oxygen.

LOL! I saw Leno (he did a show here) about 10 years ago. Unfortunately, he is such a socialist. Fortunately, he does not seem to blabber about it on his show like so many other Hollywood idiots that should just “Shut up and Sing!” ala Laura Ingraham’s book.

He has done a lot for charity up here also. He & Deanna have always been much admired for their contributions to many, many charitable causes. All the more reason why we hate to see his reputation tarnished by all the controversy going on now.

I've promised more wedding pics as they become available. Well, here are two. The first is of JT and LionsDaughter.

This next is of JT's best man and another groomsman who went to high school with JT.

The hunk on the right is the best man.

Living at ground zero as I do, I'm hearing a LOT about this whole thing. As far as Brett returning, I'd say the sentiment around here is about 65-35 against such a thing happening. People are tired of his antics, and want the team to move on with Rodgers at the helm. Ted Thompson may be taking a beating elsewhere in the country, on certain national sports radio talk shows etc., but not so much around here.
