Good morning Dave and thanks!
I agree, it's just not the same around here without John's essay every week. Going without for a few weeks makes one appreciate it even more. :)

Yeah, ya never know what ole Howie's gonna come out with. Go, Howie, go !!! ...

Dean, of humble upbringing on Park Avenue and in the Hamptons, says he's "tired of coming to the South and fighting elections on God, guns and gays." So he's coming to the South, fighting this election on God, guns and gays instead. Dean is a man of deep religious conviction in the South, signaling he plans to invoke Jesus in speeches throughout the Bible-Belt.

Dykes for Dean

[Aquamarine]

Thanks John. You did a fantastic job on this essay, took me a while to get this part though..."Regarding his penchant for gaffes, Howard Dean, who's recently complained of being manhandled by rivals (and has the bruises on his arms to prove it!)"...just hilarious!!

Good morning Libertina! Is it still snowing there?
The temperature has been getting down in the single digits at night here all week and we're supposed to get some snow in here tomorrow. Wouldn't you know I had plans to drive over the mountains tomorrow!

The more you look forward to heaven, the less you'll desire of earth.

Thanks for the reassurance and coffee every morning.

Hope everything is going well for you this week. :)

[Aquamarine]

Thanks MEG! It's always good to see your comments, here and around the forum. Your concern for our military is so obvious. :)
Did OhioWfan ever receive any news on her son Eric last night?

[Aquamarine]

Good morning Nic! You have the cutest gifs! lol

[iceskater]

Excellent job - both of you!

JH2, how do you keep coming up with such great lines? What a gift you have!

Have a great day.

It took less time for the 3rd Infantry Division and the Marines to destroy the Medina Republican Guard than it took Teddy Kennedy to call the police after his Oldsmobile sunk at Chappaquiddick.

And Ted is one of the biggest spenders around! Thanks for putting things in perspective this morning.

Good morning Free. How's the quilt coming? ;)

[Donaeus]

Good morning ya'll and welcome to a JohnHuang2/Aquamarine Thursday! I didn't want to come to work today, then I remembered another of John's gems was waiting to be read perfectly highlighted by Aqua's photos. I couldn't get in the front door fast enough! :) We won't tell my bosses why I'm so happy to be here. LOL Have a great one everybody!!

God Bless Our Military

Below are names of some of our FReepers' loved ones who are serving our country. If you have someone you would like to add, please address a post to Billie; Mama_Bear; Dansangel; Dutchess; Aquamarine; deadhead and we will add their name to this list. As we pray for them, we pray also for all our nation's leaders, and military personnel, and their families and friends. May God hold them close to His heart.

~~~~~~~~~~   ~~~~~~~~~~

We ask Lord, that You guide the leaders of our great country in their hour of decision. The burden that has been placed on their shoulders is overwhelming. We ask that with Your infinite wisdom You guide them gently to the right decisions.

Please give us the strength, Lord, to get through each difficult and devastating day that faces each of us and our country. Protect and guide our Military that are now being called to duty, strengthen them in their trials and temptations; give them courage to face the perils which beset them; and grant them a sense of your abiding presence wherever they may be; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Hi John...EXCELLENT...JUST EXCELLENT. I FORCED myself to watch the debate Sunday and just knew that you had great material to work with. Have missed your 2 cents! (no more vacations for you friend!)

Aqua....wonderful job with the layout. The madcow is way too funny!

[Aquamarine]

Yikes!! lol

[Aquamarine]

Good morning Dolly! Just love that colorful font, it wakes me up! :)

[FreeTheHostages]

How's the quilt coming? ;)

LOL, step 1: clean my quilting space. Step 2: quilt. I'm still kinda stuck at Step 1 and find myself skipping to Step 2. It's . . . messy and chaotic. Kinda like a fight with The Thin Man.

[Aquamarine]

This is great! John, did you see this, you're motivating people to go to work. LOL!

Thanks for the kudos, happy to hear that everyone enjoys Thursday's so much. The credit goes to John.
