Think it is ZZZZZZZZZZZ time for me.. found a knife which was my wine opener. After giving away my good wine I had left 2 bottles. opened a calif chardonnay (which I don't part like) but it was okay. No wine opener to be found .

naughty cats!??????????

Used a knife. Hmmmmm.. the cork adds a distinctive sensation.

Love you all & really appreciate your knowledge & sharing. It is a good thing, isn't it?

(what!!!!!!! is your definition of love?)

Mine fits what I wrote.

Actually, after years of reading some rather 'off the wall' comments, I decided to respond to one. He's kinda like a fixture around here. You know, something ya gotta grin and bear to be here?

Seriously, he HAS made a couple of good comments. Few and far between, but good nonetheless. He's generally just a rabblerouser. He's great for sh|ts and grins.

anyone else watching this foxnews footage of the raid?

[cyncooper]

Yes, Lori... she was so heavy on my heart when captured.

Her brother served as spokesman for her family and did a fine job. I was always impressed when he spoke.

Rick Levanthal on live with Shep showing video he and his camera guy taped earlier of a raid.

[amom]

Two men worked for Saddam. They were Intell officers who were responsable for handling POWs that belonged to Iraqis. They both had 'attitude'.

[DollyCali]

You obviously have maturity. We all have our good days & bad days. It is nice to have this forum when we have our "bad days" we wont be totally castigated. It is good to know we can "unload" & our friends will understand, comment appropriately (put us in our place, educate, affirm etc)... the males I have noted have some more tension along this line. Probably understandable with the long hours, tension of war & LIFE that is present for all of us.

I appreciate how gently you all help esp the younger participants to this thread. I cannot fanthom the maturity of the high school participants !!!

At that age , well, I was a space cadet!!!! BIG TIME

[cyncooper]

Shep gone, Laurie Dhue in. With Brian. They'll keep speaking with Rick----except they lost the connection. They'll fix it.

Here is an excellent post.

Walking the walk no more-The Arab world now knows they must take the United States seriously.

They are looking for Ba'ath party officials. Major John Kirkpatrick talking. Says they are secret police. Going to question them.

Had about 100 Marines involved in the raid.

[oceanperch]

watching a video thread of Leventhal on a raid....

Shepard Smith has the family here in stiches. We think Shep needs some sleep he is getting pretty rummy.

I was just watching about Udai and his porno collection, booze and herion.

I mentioned early on that I wondered how he could be so evil the guy was wasted off his arse thats how. Just as I suspected.

Wow did you guys see those gold plated guns. The shame of it all is the creep was even hoarding the UNICEF care packages for children.

I will be REALLY ticked if the U.S. pays any debts left behind from SH Regime.
