http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/f_rose.gif Welcome to the Precinct! http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/f_rose.gif 

http://www.mountainsnmore.n et/gopusa/mday.gif

http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/f_rose.gif "A mother's love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity, it dares all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path" - Agatha Christie (1890 - 1976)

I hope that all http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/gopusa.gif mothers will have a wonderful day! http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/daisy.gif

Remember that Fox News Sunday will have a salute to the troops today. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/usflag22.gif

I have a question for our military members. Are military trials ever televised? I certainly hope not. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/shocked1.gif

http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/yikes.gif Krispy Kreme stock is down! A lot! They think it might be the result of all the no carb diets. I wonder what this means for Dave and the http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/gopusa.gif Krispy Kreme franchise?

So far there are 6 people charged in the prison abuse scandal. Perhaps there will be more but not yet. Over 200,000 soldiers have served honorably, thousands upon thousands of medals have been awarded for acts of valor, hundreds of thousands have acquitted themselves with honor. Do they get attention or headlines? No! They have no political value for the liberal media. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/fire.gif

Remember the big fit Kerry threw when the Bush campaign used a fleeting image of the WTC in a campaign ad. The Kerry campaign is blatantly using the prison abuse pictures to solicit campaign donations.Kerry camp asks Rumsfeld to quit (http://www.gopusa.com/cgi-bin/ib3/ikonboard.pl?act=ST; f=28;t=11525) http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/bushsign.gif

Evidently Sadr didn't get the sorry memos from our administration. He's playing hardball while we're putting on the gloves. He wants to keep female soldiers as slaves. Al-Sadr Dismisses Bush Apology for Abuse (http://www.gopusa.com/cgi-bin/ib3/ikonboard.pl?act=ST; f=18;t=11526) http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/it.gif

The Utah Republican Party state convention failed to re-nominate Rep. Chris Cannon to return to Congress. Cannon has sponsored bills to change laws for illegal immigrants. According to the American Conservative Union Cannon has voted the conservative way 96% of the time during his years in office. This is one of the highest conservative ratings in Congress so it is obvious that the delegates have turned him out over one issue. There will now be a Republican primary and Cannon still may win that. Your thoughts? http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rock.gif

Someone will be along with our http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/gopusa.gif Touch of Trivia soon. Be sure to participate. It's fun. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Words of Wisdom: "You say the report was well known. I don't know how you know that. All I know is when it made the public, when somebody took a secret document out of prosecutorial channels and released it to the press, I do not believe it was yet anywhere in the Pentagon. Certainly, I had not been given it or seen it." *Donald Rumsfeld to Hillary Clinton at the Armed Services Committee hearing

Puhleez! Sen. Joe Biden said, Bush must "demand the resignations for whoever is involved in this policy, and that includes Lord God Almighty himself. It includes anybody involved."

Please remember to pray for our President and for our servicemen and women who are still in harm's way.

God Bless our great country. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/flag19.gif *May Freedom ever ring!

Happy Mother's day to all you Moms! I will be working tomorrow (well on Mother's day), so I thought I would post now.

Quote[/b] ]MyAslan, it's good that your father-in-law is safe over in Iraq. Can you give any idea of what he is doing without compromising any information?

My father-in-law is a Viet Nam veteran who is now serving in Iraq. He has something to do with those convoys. He does say that they are very tired because they get very little sleep. But we are so happy we got a letter from him. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif

Quote[/b] ]Cannon's failure to win re-nomination from his own party's convention is extraordinary and becomes a strong signal to the nation that voters are tired of immigration business as usual and that incumbents who constantly and aggressively violate their constituents' wishes on immigration may indeed be punished. From Chuck Muth's email letter.

I think the constituents know what they want. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/twothumbsup.gif

I think that the dems want Rumsfeld to quit or to be fired, because it would be a dent in Bush's armor and they KNOW it. I wish Kerry and Kennedy would shut their yaps. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/notalk.gif The majority wants Rummy to keep his job, so the dems are working contrary to the majority. Lets hope this helps Bush!
http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/bushsign.gif

I think I have told you that I have a part time job, for extra money. Well, a girl who worked there, died yesterday after having a seizure in her bathtub. She has a son who is three and a husband. Please pray for them. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/grouphug.gif

Talk to you all later,

Happy Mothers Day to all you wonderful mothers here in GOP Land! I hope you have a wonderful wonderful day!

I am trying to stay away from most of the news...since I makes my blood boil. I shout at the tv..as you all know. Did some major stuff the other day. So I am giving myself and my blood pressure a little break today. I have read the headlines...but thats it.

Saw just little snippets of Rummy the other day...and that stupid old F**t byrd. Gawd why do they let him stay? They need to have a major house cleaning to get rid of them! I could give them a list!

KK stock down??? Well its not cause we dont do our parts here!! Dave...should be here soon...lets see today...something calming....I know...CHOCOLATE!

Good morning and happy Mother’s Day to our motherly types.

Over thirty years in the service, that’s a long time MyAslan, he must be a general to be bale to stay that long.

Quote[/b] ]I shout at the tv..as you all know.

My wife won’t let me shoot at the TV because of the noise and possibility of flying glass.

Quote[/b] ]Gawd why do they let him stay?

I ask myself that question every time I see Byrd brain and http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/frog.gif. *How can people vote for a man that, at the very least was driving around drunk with his pregnant girlfriend in the car? *http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/frog.gif's wife gave him the boot but not the liberal horde of Mass. *

I wonder what federal charges can be brought against http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/frog.gif that would get MJ exhumed for a closer look a the cause of her death?

I’m going to Austin to play with my mother today. *My older brother will be there at about noon and I suppose we will all go out to eat. *She was here yesterday and while I was digging a hole for the tree she brought she said that she wised she was 18, so I thought that if she young again she would dig the hole for me, but she said that she would do flips in the grass because it looked so soft.

Happy Mother's Day! http://smilies.sofrayt.com/fsc/tulips.gif

flower ~ I'm just about at the "burnout" level too. They really knew what they were talking about when they said that this was going to be a dirty campaign. At least on the http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/jacka.gif part. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rolleyes2.gif My TV remote is wearing out from SMS (sudden mute syndrome) and RCC (rapid channel change) http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laff.gif

I couldn't believe it about KK http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif ~ we're sure doing our part. I've got the pounds to prove it. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin2.gif

P.S. ~ mornin' GR ~ have a loverly day with your mom. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/yes.gif

Quote[/b] ] Do they get attention or headlines? No! They have no political value for the liberal media.

Sadly, this is too true. Unless you want to count the "oh so" patriotic Ted Koppell and his shameless politically motivated "so called" tribute to our war dead. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tqrolleyes.gif

Quote[/b] ]The Kerry campaign is blatantly using the prison abuse pictures.

If ever there was human garbage, it's J.F'nK. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/fire.gif

Quote[/b] ]He wants to keep female soldiers as slaves.

If anyone thinks this isn't a "different" kind of war, I've got news for them. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/yikes.gif Did anyone hear an apology from the good muslims re: this. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rock.gif

Quote[/b] ]I think that the dems want Rumsfeld to quit or to be fired, because it would be a dent in Bush's armor and they KNOW it.

Well, IMNSHO, they can wish in one hand and spit in the other, and see which one gets full first. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/fire.gif Somewhere along the line, the Republicans have to start protecting their own. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/teeth2.gif

"K" ~ sorry to hear about your friend. My heart and prayers go out to the family. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif

Quote[/b] ]There will now be a Republican primary and Cannon still may win that. Your thoughts?

Terri ~ I sure hope the Utah electorate send a loud and clear message to the Republican Party that they want a real Republican and not a PC RINO puppet. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rock.gif

Think I'll go check out the KK's before they go out of business. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laff.gif Have a beautiful and blessed Mother's Day all you wonderful mothers. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/twothumbsup.gif

Happy Mother's Day! Especially to all the http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/f_rose.gif fantastic mothers http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/inlove.gif in the Forum. Our mothers are the best. I think a few of them even adopted a couple of us whippersnappers. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laff.gif Well, according to the schedule, I am posting the trivia. Now, it is indeed trivia, rather than an opinion questionnaire, but I tried to go easier on y'all (I think) http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/lookaround.gif . Anyway, I know I haven't been around the past 2 days, just been swamped, but I wanted to give you guys the trivia before we head to my MIL's house for brunch. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/twothumbsup.gif *Have a marvelous Mother's Day; I shall return later, and to catch up. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif *An especially great Mother's Day to the four mothers who mother me the most in the Forum, Terri, RIM, stormy, and flower. (I am not leaving anyone else out on purpose; either you are too young to be a mom to this whippersnapper, or not quite motherly enuff. Maybe next year. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rotflo.gif ).

Good Morning All: Looks as if we are in for a beautiful Mothers Day here in NC. Happy Mothers Day to all, and I hope you have a wonderful day.

Seems that both of the Kerry's are fond of the F word. Reporter on FOX just said it was not bleeped in the newspaper. Rich Crud. They think their rich status exempts them from being civil.

I certainly hope Utah's Cannon has fired his last shot. Its highly unusual for a state convention not to support the candidate in office.

Flower, WVs Byrd got into office many, many years ago when all the people from WV were Dimocrats and with all the pork he has garnered for the state, they aren't about to get rid of him. There are only two ways to oust him - the President will have to start vetoing bills that benefit him and the Rep majority will have to squeeze his pipeline to the Pork.

Still running behind and need to get with it. Have a great day.

Happy Mother's Day everyone. *When my son called to wish me a great day, I had to ask him if he had done anything for his wife. *After their first child I had asked him what he did for her and he said, "But she isn't my mother..." *Duh.

No Terri, a military trial will never be televised.

Too bad about the KK thing, but I am certainly not responsible. *There is something about people all around me talking about avoiding carbs that makes carbs all the more appealling to me. *So I have to run an extra mile tomorrow? *http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tread.gif

The Democrats have been running dirty campaigns for years. *Maybe I'm biased, but I have always thought the Republican candidates had more class. *President Bush certainly does.

Too bad Rummy can't afford to slap the press now the way we all know that he can. *I miss that. * http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif

Sadr isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, so as I believe Napolean put it, "Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake." *It's only a matter of time before opportunity knocks. *

MyAslan, tell your father-in-law thank-you. *He is undoubtably one of those old soldiers who enjoys keeping the pups out of trouble, and they are indeed invaluble.

Did someone mention the bloated Senator Byrdbrain and Teddy? * http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/fire.gif * (You know that someday they are both going to explode, don't you? *We can wait.)

Okey Dokey! *I got worried about the http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cowboy7.gif this morning and the natural thing for me to do was get pRIMrose worried too. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin2.gif

So between us we started scrambling around for trivia questions in case our http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cowboy7.gif had forgotten. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

Just about the time we got them all thought up he came riding in on his big white horse and posted his. But! Being female RIM and I were thinking about Mother's Day and seeing how today is Mother's Day I think we won't waste our questions either, so let's call it a Mother's Day bonus. You get to answer two sets of trivia questions today so sharpen your pencils, put on your thinking caps and see who gets the most right. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin5.gif

http://www.mountainsnmore.n et/gopusa/trivia/1.gif What is your favorite Mother's Day memory? http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/inlove.gif

http://www.mountainsnmore.n et/gopusa/trivia/2.gif Do you visit your mom on Mother's Day? *(If you are still living at home, do you celebrate Mother's Day?) http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/daisy.gif

http://www.mountainsnmore.n et/gopusa/trivia/3.gif Tell us your favorite story about your mother. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/chatter.gif

http://www.mountainsnmore.n et/gopusa/trivia/4.gif Did/does your mother work out of the home? *Doing what?

http://www.mountainsnmore.n et/gopusa/trivia/5.gif What would you most like to do for your mother today if you could? http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rock.gif

http://www.mountainsnmore.n et/gopusa/trivia/6.gif What is the most practical thing you learned from your mother?
*
http://www.mountainsnmore.n et/gopusa/trivia/7.gif Was/is your mother involved in politics?

http://www.mountainsnmore.n et/gopusa/trivia/8.gif How many children did your mom have? *http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/members.gif

A bit on the chill and damp side this a.m.

pRIM, I like the Debra Saunders quote. *Is she a black woman? *If she is, I think we used to have her column in our newspaper, but haven't seen her in a loooong time.

Quote[/b] ]. *After their first child I had asked him what he did for her and he said, "But she isn't my mother..." *Duh

My husband's been pulling that one for 35 years. *It makes me want to say, "And you're not a father," but I hold my tongue because it really doesn't bother me. *Sassy is as sassy does.

I see the http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cowboy7.gif is doing the trivia today and don't think I can answer any of the questions correctly, but answer them I will, especially since I must have either joined the whippersnapper class myself. *http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rotflo.gif *or *http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rockingchair.gif ed on http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cowboy7.gif s toes just once toooooo * *often!! *Yeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaa wwwwwwwwww!!

Which foreign "dignatary" (sp?) stayed at the White House more than any other person from overseas during the Clinton Administration? Who has stayed there the most (from overseas) during GW's administration?

* * * * *John Huan

* * * * *Tony Blair

Quote[/b] ]The Democrats have been running dirty campaigns for years. *Maybe I'm biased, but I have always thought the Republican candidates had more class

I don't think we've resurrected quite as many denizens of the cemeteries to vote as have the Dems. *We're usually not as blatantly vociferous as they are, either. *They're really outdoing themselves, this year, though. *Most of the party seems to have been infected with mass insanity. *Do they really not know how they sound? *The whole bunch of them sound like traitors to the country. *If they aren't aiding and abetting the enemy with their outlandish rhetoric, I'll eat my shirt with no salt and pepper. *Please pass the starch.

I think Dyrtybyrd must have gotten all the pork for WV that was supposed to come to WI. *We're ranked 49th for the amount of money that comes back into our state from taxes that we've paid the federal government. *Don't know who is 50th. *Anyhow, Russ Feingold and Herb Kohl can say they've done their very best *to keep that pork barrel from ever being dumped this way. *I wish someone could tell me *what the heck Feingold has ever done for the state. *Yes, I know, Campaign Finance Reform, but I meant something positive. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laff.gif And not unconstitutional.

I've been moving material, sewing machine and sweeping scraps, thread and pins off the floor. *The kids are coming over this afternoon and I thought I could do that much in their honor. *Wait, a minute, it's supposed to be in my honor, isn't it? *Well, I think I'll go put it all back and let them move it. I'm in the middle of a pair of pants, a ladies' hat and an American flag. *The flag is closest to being done. *There are just too many interruptions.

Have to get busy and keep on with the cleaning and straightening.

I'd do the Mother's Day trivia but my mother died when I was 3, so I don't remember her at all.

I would wish my mother a Happy Mother’s Day, but she is off seeing the sights in Germany and searching for family records.

It is fair to partly shabby day here in Central Wyoming today. The http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cloud.gif fairly large and kind of dark on their bottoms this morning.

It seems that Italian authorities have arrested some people, believed to be terrorists, that were headed to Iraq. It seems that the men in question were members of one of the offshoots of Al-Qaeda.

I don’t why I watch the McLaughlin group. It is same bunch of crap every week. Eleanor Clift and her liberals friends can’t find anything the president and his administration do that suits them.

The first court-martial for the abuses in the prison abuse case will be May 19. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/reporter.gif are that the trial will be open to the public. This highly unusual, because the military usually keeps them pretty quiet. No word on if the trial will televised.

There are http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/reporter.gif that the UN arms inpectors under Hans Blix were also taking bribes from Saddam Hussein to look the other way.

More details are also coming out about the http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wmoon.gif fund raising scandel. Don’t know what they are yet.

Guess I’ll do http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cowboy7.gif triva:

1. Which three presidents were elected and re-elected without a majority of the votes cast (i.e., less than 50% of the vote)?

Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford

2. Where will the 2006 Southern Republican Leadership Conference be held?

Miami Florida

3. What did Earl Mitchell create in 1917 in Chattanooga, much to the delight of southerners for generations to come?
Krispy Kreme donuts

4. What did William Blaxton introduce to America in 1625 (in Boston), even though it is considered to have always been "American" ?

6. What did Senator John Kerry vote 350 times for during his career?

Tax increases

7.Who did Senator John Kerry vote AGAINST pay raises for over 20 times (22, to be exact) ?

Pay raises for the military *

8. Which foreign "dignatary" (sp?) stayed at the White House more than any other person from overseas during the Clinton Administration? Who has stayed there the most (from overseas) during GW's administration?

Yasser Arafat(Clinton) Ariel Sharon(Bush)

I had something very interesting to say when I came in from outside but I have forgotten what it was. It may have related to the way PFC Lynch was treated while in Iraqi custody.

BTW, my dad has decided that he will not go to DC to speak at the dedication of the WWII memorial. No pictures of him and Bob Dole I guess. He says that he doesn’t want to leave my mother with my sister for that long but I thing he wants to go to a family reunion that is going to be on the same day.

There was abuse of prisoners but some of the pictures are of pretty tame treatment of prisoners. One thing that the press fails to mentions is that an Iraqi guard had given a pistol to a prisoner and there was an American shot. That may be why some of the prisoners are naked. One prisoner said that every thing changed after the shooting happened. A picture of a naked man with troops holding dogs on either side of the man looks bad but we don’t know who this guy was or how dangerous he might be.

What will the Hamill story be worth?

My mother lives in http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cloud9.gif with the :angels: now, but I hardly ever missed a Mother's Day visit when she was alive.

http://www.mountainsnmore.n et/gopusa/trivia/3.gif Tell us your favorite story about your mother. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/chatter.gif

My mother had a trick mind. She never argued about anything. If the conversation turned to something she didn't like she simply changed the subject. And that was the end of that, period. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laff.gif

Ah, touche'. Who wants to bet me that more people will answer the RIM/Terri trivia than mine? http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laff.gif Ok, I suppose I better answer theirs for now; my answers will be later....

http://www.mountainsnmore.n et/gopusa/trivia/1.gifWhat is your favorite Mother's Day memory? http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/inlove.gif When I was really a whippersnapper (as in 8 or 9) I had a childrens' cookbook I received from my grandmother, and made my mom a heartshaped cake with pink icing, and in red hots, spelled out Happy Mother's Day. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin2.gif My mom was impressed.

http://www.mountainsnmore.n et/gopusa/trivia/2.gifDo you visit your mom on Mother's Day? *(If you are still living at home, do you celebrate Mother's Day?) http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/daisy.gif Yep, saw her this morning at my MIL's house, along with my entire household family, my sister and BIL, and FIL. We hung out by the pool in my MIL's development after that. The boys all had fun. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

http://www.mountainsnmore.n et/gopusa/trivia/3.gifTell us your favorite story about your mother. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/chatter.gif This is a tough one. You may recall, I work with my mother twice a week, so there are lots of not-so-pretty tales I can recall. One of my mom's biggest accomplishments was putting together a colossal 40th birthday surprise party for my dad. My mom is generally great at organizing parties. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

http://www.mountainsnmore.n et/gopusa/trivia/4.gifDid/does your mother work out of the home? *Doing what? As stated above, my mom works with me twice a week. She does all the bookkeeping stuff for the http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/orange.gif grove company we run.

http://www.mountainsnmore.n et/gopusa/trivia/5.gifWhat would you most like to do for your mother today if you could? http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rock.gif Good question. I would say send her on a cruise, but she does that several times a year on her own with her fiance' (before you ask, yes, my parents are divorced, obviously). Perhaps send her to a spa for a massage. I know Meryl sure likes that a lot, as do I and my sister.

http://www.mountainsnmore.n et/gopusa/trivia/6.gifWhat is the most practical thing you learned from your mother? Staying organized. I am good at it. My sister and my dad are terrible at it. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif
*
http://www.mountainsnmore.n et/gopusa/trivia/7.gifWas/is your mother involved in politics? Not in the least little bit, although she is learning. My greatest accomplishment in my mom's political arena was getting her to reregister from a lifelong Dem, to registering Independent. She even generally votes Republican now. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif

http://www.mountainsnmore.n et/gopusa/trivia/8.gifHow many children did your mom have? *http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/members.gif Hopefully, just my sister and I. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif

http://www.mountainsnmore.n et/gopusa/trivia/9.gifThinking back to your childhood what was the best thing your mother cooked/baked? Actually, my mom was not a big baker, or a chef for the most part. However, her best dishes were homemade (not Kraft) Macaroni & Cheese, salmon croquets, and chicken soup.

Now remember you guys, you can answer the questions above, but at least try to answer the others, too! http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/28.gif

Now, about the past 2 days (without benefit of reading the Precinct yet except today). Friday, as mentioned, I went to a http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/coffee.gif reception of the Chairman's Circle/Statesman Society members at RBC Centura (bank) with Tom Gallagher, the Florida CFO. He was in town to push for petition signatures (Sarasota was the statewide kickoff) to repeal the "bullet" train, a fiscal imminent disaster waiting to suck $3 billion out of the state budget, and which will be largely unused by anyone. It is to create an 80 mile stretch train between Tampa and Orlando, paralleling an already existing Interstate (I-4). It will not be much of a "bullet" train (under 100 miles per hour) compared with overseas trains (such as in France, England, and Japan) which travel at speeds of around 230 mph. It will also pull highway/transportation dollars from local needed road projects around the state, as well as from law enforcement and classrooms, from Florida's already extremely tight budget. At noon, I attended (with Matt) a luncheon featuring Gallagher, with about 160 people sponsored by the Sarasota Republican Womens' Club. Lastly, at 2:30, Gallagher and about 15 of the "faithful" went out in a local neighborhood (Oyster Bay) getting petition signatures to repeal the bullet train. We got about 150 or so for him in Sarasota. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/twothumbsup.gif Personally, I can think of many ways to spend $3 billion in Florida tax revenue than this train. Let's hope the governor and Gallagher get the 800,000 or so signatures needed to get in on the November ballot.

Yesterday, I went to services in the morning with the older boys. Mitchell had another Bat Mitzvah from his class. After services and the luncheon, we went home, changed into our scout uniforms, and went to serve 2-hours with other scouts from our troop sorting food collected by the local postmen on their routes, in a food collection drive for the local foodbank. Following that, we drove to Turtle Beach (south end of Siesta Key) for a relatively informal Eagle ceremony/Court of Honor for one of the scouts in our troop. Immediately after that, we came back home, Mitchell changed back into a suit, and I drove him and a neighbor to the aforementioned Bat Mitzvah girl's evening reception. On the way home, I picked up Meryl and I Thai food for dinner. Otherwise, it was a relatively quiet day! http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif

Anyway, gotta get back to pampering the lady of the househould, and making sure Mitchell and David are doing a good job washing our cars. *http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif *Give your mom (where possible) a hug for me if you can, and have a great Mother's Day. *http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Charie, the slight was duly noted, and I apologize. You can mommy me anytime you want http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif . I just figured you've been sending me kisses *http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/inlove.gif so much lately, "mother" wasn't quite the image I had in mind for you. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif flower, I wasn't trying to add to your age, just that you do try to mother me often enough, so I thought I would include you regardless of age.

Quote[/b] ]I know you only asked for three, but I found a bunch. Actually, you have two, RIM. The key phrase was "elected and re-elected". You have 2 that are correct, the two you show that were elected twice without a majority. History is full of instances where a president was elected only a single time without a majority. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laff.gif

Incidentally, ALLEN did fantastic on the trivia http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/twothumbsup.gif , although everyone appears to have answered the Kerry questions correctly.

Afternoon All: Palestinians dressed as women fired on a group of Israelis attending a memorial service for a woman and her 4 children that were killed last week. The Israeli military and police killed both of them. If they like to dress like women they should have moved to SF - they would have fit right in.

Been a beautiful day here. Nell's daughter came for a visit and brought her a present. I got her a pair of Rockports and she really likes them. I've still got the drearies from my sinus problem, but at least the headache is long gone. I'm sure theres a big battle going on inside, somewhere, between the antibiotics and the liberal bugs that infected me. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

Laurie ~ I know you are http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/happydance.gif all over the place. The boys should be home by now and we probably won't hear from you very much for awhile.

ALLEN, when I first read about Cannon I thought the same thing. But I got this blurb from NumbersUSA and is exactly the opposite. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif

Quote[/b] ]The Utah Republican Party state convention just a few minutes ago failed to re-nominate Rep. Chris Cannon to return to Congress.

One of the nation's foremost champions of amnesty for illegal aliens, Rep. Cannon must now face Matt Throckmorton in a Republican primary of voters in June.

Cannon's failure to win re-nomination from his own party's convention is extraordinary and becomes a strong signal to the nation that voters are tired of immigration business as usual and that incumbents who constantly and aggressively violate their constituents' wishes on immigration may indeed be punished.

Cannon's loss today is even more important because his pro-illegal positions were obviously the key reason.

Throckmorton, a former member of the Utah legislature, has made immigration reductions one of his two main campaign issues and has pounded Cannon for weeks for his years of working for high immigration and rewarding illegal aliens.

I know he voted 96% conservative, so I can't imagine why they would turn him out over immigration. Most of them support amnesty and open borders.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO EVERYONEhttp://smilies.sofrayt.com/fsc/congratulations.gif...and also to the surrogates, male or female, that fill that void absent a biological one.

I am sure some others have slipped in and out...so hey! to them as well.
My http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/compute.gif is working again. *I think I caught that nasty virus that was going around. *Either that or I deleted something valuable....again. *I love downloading, installing, <s>deleting</s> http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/propeller.gif: *removing components. *Only it is usually a component that is shared by other programs. * Well, while I was upset about that, and the fact that I would have to reinstall-losing all my IE desktop shortcuts and favorites, and Outlook folders because IE is not my default browser, SBC/yahoo/dsl is; http://smilies.sofrayt.com/%5E/j0/lightbul.gif I decided that I would rearrange furniture, meaning my desk area, before I would reinstall the OS on my computer. *And as long as I was rearranging, I would put the cable extension and connector on to the present setup on my TV

Well, the do-hickey that makes a TV cable-ready fell off the back while I was connecting those parts...yes, I de-energized all the applicable parts before embarking on this journey. *Only now, I have no TV, and need to buy another. *Gosh, what a job that is going to be. *
SO. *I became even more energized to get my computer up and running so I could http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/madgo.gif regarding the military incidents in Iraq...In a way, it is a good thing that my TV is broke. *I certainly couldn't tolerate anymore visualizations and <s>reporting</s> dramatizations from that head-line grabbing bunch of traitors CBS and their band of dimwits.

The whole plan of dim attack is taken from http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/yo-yo.gif hanoi kerry and hanoi jane. *THEY are doing everything they can to liken the Iraq war with vietnam. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/noway.gif *http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/yo-yo.gif kerry and his princess bride are killing our troops. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smash.gif and http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smash.gif and hoping that their socialist protestations force something--anything, to fall out of the tree. *Well, guess what wannabe pretender to the throne, all that is going to fall from the tree, are outraged American citizens.

I have to stop.
On to trivia....

Looks like good trivia questions from both sides.

05-09-2004, 07:22 PM

It's me again--hopefully, I'll know more of the answers to this one! *

http://www.mountainsnmore.n et/gopusa/trivia/1.gif What is your favorite Mother's Day memory? http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/inlove.gif

Probably the last time I was recognized in church for having the most children present--6 * * But, just about all of my MD are good ones. * Those were "the good old days" to me! http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/yes.gif

http://www.mountainsnmore.n et/gopusa/trivia/2.gif Do you visit your mom on Mother's Day? *(If you are still living at home, do you celebrate Mother's Day?) http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/daisy.gif

When my mother was living, anyone in the family who could be present was at Mama's house. * Of course, we always visited her a lot, anyway! * * She was very appreciative of her kids' visits. Even mine--I'm still amazed at her patience! http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rolleyes2.gif

http://www.mountainsnmore.n et/gopusa/trivia/3.gif Tell us your favorite story about your mother. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/chatter.gif

This is a hard one--but, on her 90th b'day, she was dancing around the house, kicking up her heels and saying "at 9:00 o'clock this morning, I'll be 90 years old!" * MY mother thought every age was special! * * She never lied about her age nor hesitated to tell it to anyone who would listen. * Everyone who knew her seemed to think she was an amazing woman! http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

http://www.mountainsnmore.n et/gopusa/trivia/4.gif Did/does your mother work out of the home? *Doing what?

She hadn't worked outside the home since she and daddy left the asylum about a month after they married--except to do volunteer work for the war (canning, etc.) and then for the TB hospital! * *But, she did sell cosmetics from her home up until she was 95 years old. * *Ya'll relax--I'm sure I won't last that long. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laff.gif

http://www.mountainsnmore.n et/gopusa/trivia/5.gif What would you most like to do for your mother today if you could? http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rock.gif

Just like everyone else whose mother has already left this world for a better one, a big hug and kiss and an "I love you"! http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/yes.gif

http://www.mountainsnmore.n et/gopusa/trivia/6.gif What is the most practical thing you learned from your mother?

Probably the fact that she never gave in to doing nothing just because of a few added years. * *My mother taught more by example than with a lot of words. * http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif
*
http://www.mountainsnmore.n et/gopusa/trivia/7.gif Was/is your mother involved in politics?

No--I never heard her mention a politician until after my daddy died--however, I never heard him ask her who she voted for or tell her who to vote for--I'm sure he took it for granted that she'd vote like he did. *http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/lookaround.gif

http://www.mountainsnmore.n et/gopusa/trivia/8.gif How many children did your mom have? *http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/members.gif

My mother gave birth to 8 and raised 12 -- and, ya'll thought you had it hard with 3 to 5. * http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

http://www.mountainsnmore.n et/gopusa/trivia/9.gif Thinking back to your childhood what was the best thing your mother cooked/baked?

Everything my mother cooked was good--her kids health would probably prove that--but, I think we'd all agree it had to be her fluffy biscuits! * Nobody could make them like her! *http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/twothumbsup.gif

Bet ya'll hadn't guessed that I love talking about family stuff--reckon that's cause I know it better than most things. * http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Ya'll have a great night and I hope everyone comes back on Monday morning feeling chipper ! * http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/yes.gif

My mom and dad live 1700 miles away in Boston, and I call every single day to chat. I also print out cool things I find on the internet (mostly this website) and mail them, as my folks don't have a computer. They LOATHE Kerry. Isn't that great? My mom has six kids and I'm the oldest http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif . I was a trial. I was a hippie during the sixties, got married when i was 19 to someone not of my faith, took up motorcycles and became a conservative before anyone else in the family (from red to red, white and true Blue) http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif My mom and I talk talk talk every day about how the world would be a better place if only WE were the ones running it. My dad is a veteran of WW2 and Korea, and since he was the ships photographer, I grew up looking at eyewitness pictures of the battles of Okinawa, Leyte Gulf, Iwo Jima, etc. I was surrounded by classical music growing up, along with lively dinner table conversations about current events and politics. I really love my folks, and miss them a lot. I've shared with Mom a lot of the discussions on this site, so she's almost a member through my participation. As Mom is wont to say," I've raised six kids, and they are all decent hard working human beings. I guess that means I'm batting a thousand."
When I was 15, I actually had the priveledge of saving my Mom's life. We were staying at a cottage near Cape Cod, when suddenly my mom went into screaming agony. I ran to a neighbor's house and she and I lifted my mom into the back of her Caddy and drove all the way to Boston to the hospital in less than a half hour. She was rushed into the operating room for an emergency hysterectomy, as she had peritonitis. The doc said that we did the right thing, if we had taken her to some rural emergency room without the immediate attention, my mom would have died. I praise God to this day that I made the right decision. God must have had a hand in it!
Happy Mother's Day!
Love

Hey y'all. I figure I've tortured you enough, once stormy answers my questions. *http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif Consarn it all, still didn't get Terri to try. Maybe one day.... http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/lookaround.gif

http://www.mountainsnmore.n et/gopusa/trivia/triviasm.gif

http://www.mountainsnmore.n et/gopusa/trivia/1.gifWhich three presidents were elected and re-elected without a majority of the votes cast (i.e., less than 50% of the vote)? Nobody got this completely correct, but RIM I think was closest. The three presidents elected and re-elected without at least 50% of the vote either election were Wilson, Cleveland, and Clinton.

http://www.mountainsnmore.n et/gopusa/trivia/2.gifWhere will the 2006 Southern Republican Leadership Conference be held? Almost everyone correctly guessed Memphis. I enjoyed the one in Miami Beach so much, I just might go back. After all, I will be a candidate at that time, God willing.

http://www.mountainsnmore.n et/gopusa/trivia/3.gifWhat did Earl Mitchell create in 1917 in Chattanooga, much to the delight of southerners for generations to come? Well, a few of you got this right. One of my favoritest things that is truly Southern, the Moon Pie. Best consumed with an RC Cola, if you can find one. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif

http://www.mountainsnmore.n et/gopusa/trivia/4.gifWhat did William Blaxton introduce to America in 1625 (in Boston), even though it is considered to have always been "American" ? again, a few got it right, the apple tree. Apples were NOT native to America, despite all the lore and legend with Johhny Appleseed and George Washington. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laff.gif

http://www.mountainsnmore.n et/gopusa/trivia/5.gifWhat do you call a (drinking) glass when it is not made out of glass, but is made out of aluminum? a tumbler it is. A tankard is a drinking vessel, but not all aluminum drinking glasses are tankards; but they are all tumblers, officially. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

http://www.mountainsnmore.n et/gopusa/trivia/6.gifWhat did Senator John Kerry vote 350 times for during his career? You got it right. Tax and spend John f'n Kerry. Three hundred and fifty times for tax increases. No doubt, this is where he got part of his even-more-liberal-than-Ted rating. Be sure to constantly remind your friends, neighbors, and family of this tidbit. Be assured that EVERY, EVERY program Kerry has ever mentioned, has ever come up with, not only when running for president, but in his thirty years in Congress, WILL be paid for with a tax increase. After all, why in the world would someone so liberal ever care about cutting spending on anything, whether he liked it or not?

http://www.mountainsnmore.n et/gopusa/trivia/7.gifWho did Senator John Kerry vote AGAINST pay raises for over 20 times (22, to be exact) ? You guessed it. I only hope that every veteran, whether they once protested a war or not, will remember that John Kerry Does NOT care about YOU. Period. For all practical purposes, Kerry might as well Have Never Even Served, given how little regard he has for the entire military. Every single veteran or current member of the http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/flag-airforce.gif *http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/flag-army.gif *http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/flag-navy.gif *http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/flag-marines.gif *or *http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/flag-coastguard.gif needs to NOT vote for Kerry, and NEEDS to vote, whether you have an issue with the president or not. The alternative is unthinkable to the state of our defense. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/m1helmet.gif

http://www.mountainsnmore.n et/gopusa/trivia/8.gifWhich foreign "dignatary" (sp?) stayed at the White House more than any other person from overseas during the Clinton Administration? Who has stayed there the most (from overseas) during GW's administration? Yes, Clinton's favoritest pal, buddy, and frequent honored guest was one Arafat. Thus far, GW's most frequent visitor has been Sharon. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/twothumbsup.gif

Boy, Mary-Lou, you are a quick-wit for a Yankee. http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rotflo.gif I bet http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cowboy7.gif thought you'd just pass that one up--one of these days, he's gonna learn, he can't put much over on us female-type persons.

Gee, RR, I didn't do so hot on that Trivia--I read about Blaxton and didn't see anything in the bio on him about apple trees or tea! Seemed to me, the most prominent thing he introduced was Anglicanism! Yes, I know that hasn't always been thought of as American, but I only know what I read~! http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

You mean Sharon has visited the WH more than Tony Blair has http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rock.gif

Who would have thought that the angriest Republican regarding the SOD would be Lindsey Graham--do you think that comes from being a McCain supporter or what ? http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tqrolleyes.gif He is retired military, though, isn't he http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rock.gif

Of course, the DIMS are not going to let up on this--but, would someone tell me what will happen now if the prisoners they released go out and do something horrific--are we still not supposed to punish them or just smile and look the other way ? http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif

This Boston Gal just couldn't resist making another pun.
"Fair to middlin'" can be translated INTO SEVERAL LANGUAGES:
ITALIAN "mezzo mezzo"
YIDDISH "nischt der hier, nischt der hin"
ENGLISH "so-so"
LEFTIE LIBERAL "What do you mean by "How do you feel?" I may have to call the ACLU as you are invading my right to privacy. Maybe I can get the taxpayers to pay for it! Hmmmm. Perhaps you're part of a Vast Right Wing Conspiracy whose only objective in life is to find out how I feel! How do you think the children of Iraq feel, now that you've suceeded in railroading Michael Jackson......
