RAVE: Long Live Freaky Friday
Rants and Raves!

RAVE: Long Live it's humble
celebration of the 1st Amendement!

RAVE: It's quite allright to be
saddend at life's loss and illness, turns and twists.

RAVE: As it is quite allright to turn off the news,or these postings,
if you are near being nauseated of hearing about it 24/7.

I wish a warm embrace for loss and illness and a glowing light to find
your way.

...and I wish <i><b>everyone</b></i> a date to the prom!

mikemo, please tell me more. So many Americans visit Egypt, is it really all that dangerous?

P. S. We missed you at the DFW GTG.

otto Apr 8th, 2005 12:35 PM

mikemo Apr 8th, 2005 12:57 PM

I must really be on someone's s... list as I posted some generic recs (www.guidelive.com; Kimbell and Amon Carter in Ft Worth) to a request for things to do in D for 2 days. Those are gone.
P_M: 'Tho many Germans have not been well treated in Egypt, apparently those with USA PP's are singled out upon entry.
I missed the vulgar stuff today, but I did want to reiterate my admiration of the docs and nurses who remain.

Mikemo: maybe one of the editors had a bad bottle ;)

Cassandra, your post today brought tears to my ears. What a beautiful image you shared with us. I hope to be that lucky in my transition.

And congrats on the special birthday...oops! sorry, ANNIVERSARY.

Wishing everyone a wonderful spring weekend!

buckeyemom Apr 8th, 2005 01:34 PM

I missed all the excitement today. That's what I get for working in the yard. :-)

Budman-Right on! ((D))

Cassandra-Sorry, for your loss.

Ryan-Hang in there!

Jor-Sorry, about your diabetes. One of my dd's first grade friends was just diagnosed.

Rave-Beautiful spring day!

No rants today.

I missed the thread getting yanked...but the direction it was going I am not surprised. Anyway...

Rave--Girlfriends from WA coming to visit soon and the general manager of the 5th Avenue Suites was very gracious in accommodating our wishes. It will be a ladies weekend out...no dh's or children...just the ladies catching up.


cigalechanta Apr 8th, 2005 02:23 PM

to all of you with losses and health problems. Time heals.
Happy Birthday Cassandra.
What happened to the Friday R&amp;R?
why was it removed, dare I ask and you respond?

bonniebroad Apr 8th, 2005 02:46 PM

Rave: Just brought home a new (to me) Lexus!!! Love it......... soooo quiet and rides like a dream! It's a keeper... :-)

Rave: North Carolina Tar Heels - 2005 NCAA Men's Basketball Champs!!! ;;) (I promise to shut up about it now!!! :-d )

My thoughts are with all of you who have suffered losses or who are enduring illnesses yourself. God bless........ ((f))

Cassandra, your earlier post really touched my heart, and I wish you Happy Birthday! Our age is not so bad........ ;;)

seetheworld Apr 8th, 2005 02:52 PM

Hi Cigalechanta! FFR&amp;R started off on the wrong foot and went quickly down from there - that's all I'll say on the matter.

Are you getting ready for marathon excitement? My son can't wait - even though he will only be a spectator. :)

GoTravel Apr 8th, 2005 03:39 PM



Cassandra, I'm so sorry! You are in my thoughts.

No rants, all raves today!

Wishing everyone well.

annesherrod Apr 8th, 2005 03:58 PM

I hate to ask but what happened this morning on the pulled thred?
Rave- SPRING!!!!! and The St. Louis Cardinals just won their Home Opener!!

Rant- the hatefulness of others.


kimamom Apr 8th, 2005 04:05 PM

Rave: DD had a great time in Mexico! They helped build the pastor a home and she taught Bible stories to the little children. Made lots of friends and can't wait to go back! :)

Rave: Miss Congeniality2 was very fun and a great movie! Sandra Bullock was excellent, as always.

Rave: More rain and snow! We're going snowboarding tomorrow, should be nice.

Rave: DD is doing wonderfully at swimming. Working very hard. It's a great team and she's in excellent physical condition.

Rave: Had a nice birthday dinner at a Japanese restaurant we like. Those kids can really pack away the California rolls, LOL! :)

Rave: Planning a trip to Carmel for next month. We got invited to the Highland's Inn timeshare. $79/night for up to three nights if you listen to a 90 min. presentation. Can't beat that!

Happy Weekend, happy travels and planning! ***kim*** ((l))

seetheworld Apr 8th, 2005 04:10 PM

Kim, hope you are good at saying &quot;No thanks&quot; - those timeshare presentations are hard sells and always last more than 90 minutes.

doc_ Apr 8th, 2005 04:13 PM

FFR&amp;R done by 1:30 pm. Wow, must have been brutal. Let me guess, Pope's and politics.

Rant: You just can't mix church and state.

emd Apr 8th, 2005 04:23 PM

not much on the Pope, it was the other one. Although I missed the final blows, but what I saw was people going in swinging hard.

doc_ Apr 8th, 2005 04:32 PM

Dare I ask the culprits?


soccr Apr 8th, 2005 05:00 PM

doc: &quot;the usual suspects&quot;

jorr Apr 8th, 2005 05:04 PM

The thought police are watching. Be careful and speak only in nice little words about nice things. :S-
