Mornin', everybody !! Happy Saturday.

Cooling off today. Earlier this morning it was 64 degrees I think. 52 right now...

Have a cup while you FReep !

For those who prefer hot chocolate.....

Good morning, FSE, have added your cousin's name to my military prayer list. Say hello to your mom and dad for me! (and could I ask what is your status right now? I may not remember it correctly, but it seems like you were about to enter the Reserves not long ago?)

And two weeks ago right now, I was in shock...

Morning, Miss Dansy. Thanks for putting up the weekend thread for us - and yesterday's beautiful Valentine Special, and you're doing Monday's thread, too! Wanna do Tuesday's? LOL

On one of my Clara Harris threads, someone asked about a picture of 'Don Juan', Clara's hubby David.

Here are a few pics of David, et al coming up:

Thanks for adding him to your prayer list, I appreciate it.

I'm still in school, going through my last semester of ROTC. I still have some school to do after that, but then I'll be commissioned and on my way to the Big Show in the Middle East (or Korea, wherever it is by the time I get out of school).

And here is one with multiple folks. Bottom right is Gail Bridges, David's sweetie pie. David on rop right...

Morning, Cap'n - you're a tough taskmaster! No consideration for our one-armed LadyX? No compassion? No sick leave? At least, give her a desk job while she heals. :)

Hi, gunner!

[Billie]

Good morning, .45Man - didn't we see you here just yesterday? And here you are again. :)

Gail Bridges

The daughter of a Baptist deacon, Gail Bridges was once a high school cheerleader, then the wife of an insurance agent and finally a divorced mother of three when she became David Harris' office receptionist and the other woman in his life at age 38. Her ex-huband accused her of having a lesbian affair, and this fall he took her to court seeking custody of their children.

David Harris

David Harris, 44, was a well-liked Clear Lake orthodontist who grew up in Pearland as the son of a school principal. He played piano and drums and a couple years ago recorded a CD of Christian music with his Baptist church's band. His teen-age daughter noted that he was very funny and easy to talk to. He taught her how to play the piano, and she wanted to study to become an orthodontist like him.

Now this is weird...

Gail Bridges ("Leslie")

Tape provided by Blue Moon Investigations

Wearing disguises and taking assumed names, Gail "Leslie" Bridges and Julie Ann "Lisa" Knight appeared on a segment of the Sally Jessy Raphael Show called My Husband Spies on Me in April 2001 to discuss their ex-husbands' scheme to prove they were having a lesbian affair. They say they are only friends.

((((MEEKIE)))!

Thanks for the coffee, sweetie!

You've no idea how profoundly grateful I am for the prayers Freepers have offered on my behalf after my automobile accident Thursday. It is an awesome thing to be thus buoyed, and my thankfulness for the protection a loving God extended is magnified by your words.

It still is beyond comprehension that the 4-door Olds Cutlass surrounding me was a mangled mass of crumpled steel; hood lying up on the windshield; wheels crushed inward; 3 of the 4 doors jammed; smoke rising; driver's window glass completely shattered when my head struck it; and 5' 4 1/2" 118 lb. me sustained only the slight scalp laceration (no sutures needed) and broken arm.

No one but God could have written that scenario ~ ~ ~
His mercy is without limit, and all praise is given Him for the outcome.

Help was immediate, the rescue squad soon there, and I could not have asked for better medical care, despite an extremely busy Emergency Room.

I am blessed, and know it - and deeply touched by the outpouring of the keynote of Free Republic - the care and love given to one another when trouble descends.

From the bottom of my heart, I thank you.

OK. You've had your break (no pun intended). Get to work getting us out into the harbor so we can get under way. Exercise will do you good.

Thank you for posting that stunning graphic, Meek, and for doing this in their remembrance. I too have a Rally today and, like Humble, hope the rain stops. If not, I'll still be there - proud flag flying right outside the gates of McChord AFB. I'd like our Chapter to get a banner made too, what a great idea. Enjoy your day firends, cheers :)

Good morning FR's Finest!

I'm so glad you are OK!
You type pretty well with your left hand. ;-)
