Rants: After watching news of all the suffering of so many people throughout the world on TV, I'd feel guilty complaining about anything - we can all be thankful this Memorial Day that we are so blessed compared to a majority of people on this planet.

Rave: The Deacons at my church have a support-the-troops drive going on right now, as one of our members has a son serving in Iraq.

Rave: My company gave me a $100 voucher to spend in our company store for the drive, and I loaded up on sunscreen, gum, dried fruit, candy, deoderant, bandaids, creams, etc. I have a huge bag of goodies in my car that I can't wait to send over there for her son to share with his platoon.

a sort of rant, my Freaky Friday thread of two years has been hyjacked! 12:57 AM? come on!

Rant: America's Sweethearts was on TV last night & I waited the whole movie for the line: "Pleeeeeeze Kiki" (what I say to my daughter when I want her to do something for me.) They deleted that scene from the movie. Grrr,,,,,,

Rave: The rest of the movie was fun, tho.

Rant: Root canal time next Thursday! Yikes!!

never fret, jor, you can start a new one we have plenty of rants and raves to share :)

jor, look at it this way (glass is half full), your Freaky Friday Rants & Raves post is so popular, we can't wait to start it!

(as I hang my head in shame for starting one several months ago on a Thursday night)

Happy Friday to all!

Rave: FEMA is giving me money to replace my familyroom carpet that my insurance co. wouldn't for the awful rain we had in April!

Rave: Vinyl siding, new doors, new bathroom, all coming along but slow because of this week's rain, gosh...can we have some sun please?

Rave: Thanks to all of our service people, past and present, who continue to fight for our freedom, many blessings to them and their families, and prayers to bring them home safely.

Rave: Memorial Day parade in small-town-America, where my nephew (who just returned frm Iraq) and my daughter (with her Brownie Troop) will be marching in. Very proud of both!

Please remember our troops, those who have made the ultimate sacrifice, and those who are working hard everyday so that we may be here, making travel plans and going about our everyday lives.

Rant: When people use comments like "Shame on those who would do things for political gain, even when it hurts/confuses the country!" if they are implying that those of us against the war are any less supportive of the people who are fighting it.

Rant: That people actually believe that politicians on either side of the aisle don't make 99% of decisions for political gain - ESPECIALLY in an election year.

Ryan, my statement was not about those for or against the war!!! You are injecting your own meaning into my words........ I was speaking in broad terms, about those who lead and influence others.

Gads, what Bush has done to relationships and to Iraq!
This memorial day, let's pray our soldiers are withdrawn and sent home.
