Bring your coffee and spend some time with us here. There's lots going on in the world these days.

The Gitmo prisoners were moved into permanent quarters yesterday. Are our soldiers still in tents?? Something is wrong with this situation! http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tearhair.gif

Cardinal Law has allowed his attorneys to partially blame the child victim of an abusive priest.
What is wrong with this man?? :shocked:

The Supreme Court ruled that disable workers do not have preference over workers with seniority.

Did anyone click on this photo that I linked here yesterday? It's our President! *Click here for photo (http://images.fotki.com/v3/photos/3/34606/100343/bush1-vi.jpg?1019978554)

Mornin' Terri!

YES, I did click on the cutie in your link yesterday..but had no idea who it was! Now that you tell me it's GW, I can see it. BTW, speaking of pictures...I saw your collage the other day and am MORE than impressed! MAJOR GREAT work there! SO...you can do all that cool stuff, and I can't even put a picture on the internet. See...some people got it and some don't!

Last bowling day of this season....YIPPPPEEEE EEEEEEE! I've got to take the dogs in for grooming before I hit the lanes, so I've gotta run here this morning.

MAKE IT A GREAT DAY EVERYONE! bbl

Not long after getting back from Maui for our winter vacation, I now see that THREE PEOPLE HAVE DIED ON MAUI FROM FLESH-EATING DISEASE!!!!!!!

Not long after getting back from our business trip to Florida, a number of people are bitten and ripped up by sharks!!!!

EEEEKKKKKKKK!!! Maybe I'm a bad omen! LOL Maybe the Tourism Bureau's won't be sending me any literature to come to their lovely places anymore!!!!!!!

[Terri]

Saber, you must be living right. As long as you are ahead of these wierd events someone is in your corner! http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/28.gif *Next time you should take RIM along with you and she wouldn't fall down the stairs.

Thanks for the nice comment on the collage. I like to fool with that stuff but lately I seem to keep putting it off. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sunflower.gif

It was announced yesterday that inspectors were able to enter and move freely through 4 Federal buildings in Atlanta that are supposed to be secure buildings. Sounds like some people need to be fired!

The Israelis have decided not to cooperate with the UN in Jenin. They simply say the UN has not met their expectations. Good for the Israelis but this will cause them a lot of misery, no doubt.

The US will resume talking with North Korea. The envoy will NOT be the impeached ex President even though he shamelessly hinted for the job. :turquoiserolleyes: *Go away, Bill!!! http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sulkoff.gif

I'll add a few news articles for your perusal but if you don't see a subject you want to discuss, please start your own topic.

heldmyw!!! *Welcome to http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/gopusa.gif!!
*
I'm so happy to see you here! *http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif Just jump right in wherever you like!

[heldmyw]

Hello.

I'm a new registrant, recently invited to come and wander the forum, and am quite pleased to find you!

A curmudgeon of rather tiresome cynicism and jaundiced, jaded perspectives, I tend to be a bit on the sarcastic side where our politicians are concerned, but am basically a teddy bear who would not stoop to insult until you kicked my puppy twice. *

But then you're in trouble.

Warmest regards and greetings to you all!

[Terri]

He's a lovable wise curmudgeon! http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mdr11.gif

heldmyw, I hope you will come by often. We'll all enjoy your posts and there are some really nice folks here. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[heldmyw]

Thank you Terri!

And thank you for the invitation. (I didn't mention it in case you regretted your decision later).

But obviously, you are obviously a person of impeccable taste and character!

Onward!

[Saber]

HI heldmyw! WELCOME! I'm very glad you are here.

Good Morning Everyone!

Well, Terri, I DID reply that that was your president in that photo and I see that post is not there now. I remember things being slow when I was posting the message so guess it didn't &quot;take&quot;.

<span style='color:crimson '>Welcome, heldmyw! Great to see you here!</span>

I'm rushing today. I have an Avon order to unpack and then sort and deliver!

Talk to you all later!

[Sailor]

Hi everyone,

Welcome Heldmywater, what an interesting name!! OOOps perhaps it is Heldmywisecracks.... http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif he he

Terri, I saw that picture and spotted the likeness of GW in his face immediately. Was I supposed to send in a guess? http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif

Well, got to start reading everything now......

[Aknauta]

Good Morning Everyone http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sun1.gif

What a lovely day, rain and fog and four inches of snow predicted for this evening. Sure was a short summer. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Welcome Heldmyw to our growing family http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wavey.gif , hope you enjoy this format.
Sailor is such a nice fellow :turquoiserolleyes: and hi to Aberfoyle and Saber too http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/28.gif

Terri, I will go out and find some interesting story for today and post it appropriately http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/twothumbsup.gif

[Terri]

Hmmmmm.....so both of you knew who it was. I didn't until I read the caption where I found the photo. </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">Terri, I saw that picture and spotted the likeness of GW in his face immediately.

*Well, got to start reading everything now......[/QUOTE]<span id='postcolor'>Yeppers, read everything. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mdr11.gif *You just never know, Sailor. I like your names for HMW, I've never known what it means but I'm curious. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/red_eyes.gif

And you are working hard today, Aknauta. You always come up with good stories where I learn a lot. Sailor is a nice guy isn't he. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif All of you here are nice guys.

[heldmyw]

Hello again...

heldmyw? *It's funny, but *I've never thought of my &quot;name&quot; as having any significance AND this is the first place that anyone has ever asked or mentioned it!

That name was assigned to me at work in 1998, and being totally boring and lazy, I adopted it for general use (easy to remember, you understand). *We use an antiquated intranet that assigns your address by the first 6 letters of your last name and your first initial.

Therefore: W.F. Heldmyer becomes heldmyw... No hidden significance or anything. *Boring, huh? *

W.F. Heldmyer? I bet none of us could have predicted that that was where the username came from! In any case, I for one am glad you have joined the forum, because you have added quite thoughtful responses to many of the threads in the forum, and I think you are going to add greatly to the discussions. So to echo Terri, welcome aboard!

HMW, I think I like Sailor's theories better. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mdr11.gif We are the first, well inquiring minds want to know or maybe we're just nosy. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

The President made a big speech this morning on compassionate conservatism. I've been trying to find the transcript since this is what we've been discussing. I'll keep looking.

The news is really popping today. <ul> Remember the big Olympic flap over the French Judge. She and her boss have been suspended. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mr_yuk.gif Story is posted in News.

The Director of an Islamic Charity in Chicago has been arrested because of his ties to Bin Laden. Posted in War on Terror.

UN officials are saying they will disband the effort to conduct a probe in Jenin.

26 more people have left the Church of the Nativity.

A couple of Vegans starved their baby nearly to death by feeding her nuts and fruit juice. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/angry.gif Story posted in News.

Senator Hatch has reportedly flipped and will support cloning. :turquoiserolleyes:[/list]
Hi Floridaguy!! http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[Not2old]

So...this is where everyone is hanging out...
Thanks for the &quot;word&quot; Terri. *Gosh, I've been a member of BushCountry.org and the http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/gopusa.gif for quite awhile, but I haven't read the GOPUSA in my email for weeks, nor have I done much as a Team Leader... Shame on ME http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/anon.gif

It's late, so I'll look around tomorrow. *Niters All

Well, they didn't tonight!

Not2old! Welcome to http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/gopusa.gif! I hope you'll like it here. We have a very friendly bunch. You better start reading that newsletter. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif Bobby puts lots of good things in there. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Congratulations, Aberfoyle!! http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/28.gif *The Avs won their first series last night too. Now tell me, is this the series I'm hearing about where US fans booed the Canadian national anthem? *That was terribly rude of them! http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/angry.gif Not that hockey fans are noted for their manners, except us of course! Seriously, there is no excuse for that kind of boorish behavior.
