I found no new photos of the president today but there are some photos of Laura in Paris, at the conference on Missing and Exploited Children. As Tony Snow's assistant conducted the press briefing today, and the State of the Union address is next Tuesday, January 23rd at 9:00 PM EST, it seems likely it is crunch time for getting the address ready.

Defense Secretary Gates continues his visit to Iraq, in Basra and Talil, where he is being briefed.

Jay Hein, Director of the WH Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives, discussed the President's compassion agenda and the recently launched Compassion in Action Roundtables.

Text of Dana Perino's press briefing today (information on SoTU).

Yes, by your reply I can tell you were the one I was thinking of.

Your bonus points answer about all the dead wood was amazing. Who would have thought the storm/s could have taken out so many trees?

[GretchenM]

Wow, thank you DCMB. I have the same problem -- I find it in one store and then they stop stocking it. The stuff is great and it was wonderful to finally find a soap that didn't gave me a migraine, regular headache, or irritate my skin. Thanks!!!!!

lol

I must admit odd word here and there but nothing that would get me as a host to warn the poster.

I have had the odd freepmail from time to time saying we are not serious enough about issues that are somber such as awards for people who have died in action that on those days we should be more respectful.

I have read through the dose for those days and have felt there was nothing said that might offend but then some people like to find things to offend them they see it as their mission in life to restrict and repress others.

My previous post was not a criticism of you posting the request tonight as you have obviously had something more specific said to you but I must admit I have not noticed anything undue.

[snugs]

Prayers that your financial situation improves shortly.

[GretchenM]

Thanks for the heads up re Pippin.

Coarse language? When was that

Glad you asked this. I've been lurking for a long time and posted just a little, but in the years I've been lurking I don't remember any curse words. What constitutes "coarse" language?

[GretchenM]

FRmail to you on the subject.

[snugs]

Thanks Gretchen and sorry and thanks if I have not thanked you for tonight's dose

[snugs]

Freepmail back to you

Hey everyone,
I really need some cheering up. Tomorrow is my birthday and I won't say how many. It is the first one without my brother, husband, and mother. This is the first time I have been so sad since their deaths. We are going out to eat tomorrow.

[GretchenM]

I pray your life is so filled with delicious new things and beautiful memories of times past that you don't have a spot left for gloom or sorrow to sit and talk to you.

Question please. I just noticed I have a tag??? line? Is that the correct term for what's in parenthesis at the end of my name? If so, how did it get there? Just curious, cause I didn't write it. Not complaining just curious. Thanks. Mupcat.

Pick up a quick job doing magazine merchandizing. Go to your grocery store and ask who is the magazine company that provides your magazines. Then get the telephone number and call them. I guarantee that you will be hired.FReepmail me if you need help.

JimRob issues blank tag lines with your account activation. The only way I know to get a tag line behind your name is to type it there yourself. Does anyone else know your FR password?

Mama B, I just read this and like it very much, this last Christmas was my first without both parents, both died very young, my dad was 63, and my mom was 69.

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, Love leaves a memory noone can steal!

I echo Gretchen's remarks and go for nice comfort foods tomorrow.

I suspect you typed that comment in the tagline box instead of your reply box.

You have said what I wish I said but you were so much better. Thank you.
