Dearest sweet you.
I share in your happiness with your Marine!
God bless and keep him.
He’ll make all of us proud (as if we aren’t already!)
Yep, soup it is!!!
Dearest you, don-o.
You know my (our faith) sustains me.
God bless you and your family.
I’m so happy to hear about your Marine!
DrO was also a pilot.
I’ll be all right..... but never the same.
Thank God, I have my grandson from the Cayman’s here with me.
XOXOXO
Go spend time with your Marine son. His job is 1000 times more important, than little ol’ me.
Make that a trillion times more important, because you have shown in your lousy response you can't even be gracious when offered an apology that you didn't merit.
I stand by my words: You're rude.
No. You don't get off that easy. Go read her posting history. Read and understand how spectacularly wrong your judgement is. I am not saying you must agree with her; but, you will find one who works hard to express her thoughts clearly and logically; and to do so as cordially as possible. I know for a fact that she relishes intellectual jousting with worthy opponents.
Give that a try and leave off with the insults.
But that's OK, Terry.
We're at peace, all is well.
You’re the very best and I mean that seriously with all my heart.
I’ll not spend (waste) another minute on that poster.
God bless.
Wait....LOL.
Watch him be one of those “have to have the last word” peeps.
LOLOLOLOLOL.
Wait. I am "that guy"....when it comes to insulting my love.
You are a gift to so many of us, just imagine many giving you ethereal hugs! And DrO too. Because God's goodness passes all understanding --- we'll see it all someday.
(((((don-o)))))
You two!!!
Couldn't agree more with that. This year would have been unbearable without the support system here.
How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization
http://www.amazon.com ^ | May 2, 2005 | Thomas E. Woods
Thomas Woods’ book titled HOW THE CATHOLIC CHURCH BUILD WESTERN CIVILIZATION is an unanswerable antidote to anti-Catholic bashers and their mindless sychophants. Prof. Woods provides a compelling case that Western Civilization could not have thrived without the valuable achievements of the Catholic Church over the past 2,000 years.
Prof. Woods survey of the Catholic Church in late Ancient History and during the Dark Ages makes clear that the Catholic Church authorities and especially the monks were invaluable in preserving learning. He makes clear that the early Catholic monks and nuns were the only literate people in Europe, and they preserved learning by hand copying books and teaching. Prof. Woods’ treatment of this historical episode gives the thoughtful reader an insight as to how crucial those who were in religious orders were to European recovery.
Prof. Woods’ chapter on Medieval universities is solid. He gives the conditions under which teachers and students operated and makes clear that the “Age of Scholasticism” was an intellectually vibrant age. The books gives examples of the curriculum and the emphasis on logic and reason both in learning and solving intellectual issues. The Age of Reason actually began in the Medieval Catholic universities rather than in the 17th and 18th centuries. Prof. Woods’ evaluation of Medieval Scholasticism compares favorably with John Baldwin’s THE SCHOLATIC CULTURE OF THE MIDDE AGES, 1000-1300.

Thank you very much for these links. They’re very valuable and I know I’ll be linking to them again!
dear steve,
SINCE ‘Free Republic’ is SUPPOSED to be a forum of the exchange of free thought, and since my America has not gone completely totalitarian, yet, and lastly, since I have worn the uniform of my country of birth, this all comes down to one thing, my retort:
“Sez you!”
Madame,
Since:
“Terry, I have evidently offended you and I am sorry. The link I sent was something I had written on this very subject several times before. I could have cut-and-pasted the whole thing to you but I was in a hurry. My Marine son is in town, won’t get to see him again for at least a year, depending where they send him— we were about out the door.
Next time I will try to communicate more adequately. Merry 2nd Day of Christmas to you and all your loved ones. “
situation understood, and accepted.
Thank you, Terry, for these gracious words. A Happy 2015 to you -— enjoy your blessings and may God grant you many more.
