Thanks for the group hugs, everyone.

Nicola has posted on facebook the definition of "inauguration." I did NOT know they'd be reading the future today from the entrails of birds and small animals!!!! TAKING THE AUGURS on the Capitol Steps!!!!!!!!!!!!

(as noted on Facebook this is the main thing I remember from the HIstory of Rome class)

You just never know what goes on behind doors in the Whitehouse!

Well Sillies tis a new day in America. We watched the inauguration @ my desk here. So now I will always remember the group who surrounded me when this history was made.

Will I get in trouble if I say this?

I'm just a bit worried about the whole thing.........

can't get in no trouble fer that

How much worse could it be than it was?

I'm going pipe in here and in the spirit of this group, and the spirit of the "gab/chat" forum (non-controversial topics), respectfully ask that politics are not brought up here (other than talking about the inauguration, of course!). There are dems, repubs, independents, etc on here.

(of course, no one has to listen to me. )

All we can do is wait.....bide our time and do what each can do...and hope for the best. I don't dare say it can't get worse...I've known too many who survived the depression. I hope and pray this country never sees anything like that ever again! If only they would learn to run the country like a business! There is no bottomless barrel of money...assets need to be more than liabilities...we need to stay in the black, not red....money should be wisely spent and the spenders need to be held accountable.

That's it for todays sermon

I ain't erasin' nuthin'

The world is in turmoil. I want it to be better. Let today be symbolic of that.

Ooops! Didn't see this first.....hope no one was offended

Just wishing for better for everyone

:lol: Are you passing the collection tray?

[happygirl]

I'm certainly not offended by any of it, don't think anything should be erased, and think that today is a great day for our country!

Yes!! And Canucks! Our politics are SO staid . . .. ....so Commonwealth-y..........so rather boring.. . . . ..hilarious to see the swearing-in of our Prime Minister (um, no actual televised ceremony) and compare it to the magic today on Capitol Hill . .. . . ..

Quite a show!

[flourgirl]

:lol: Are you passing the collection tray?

Sure!! After we tote up the goods we can all meet somewhere in the tropics for a mid-winter getaway

[flourgirl]

The whole country is pinning their hopes on this man. I truly hope he (and the congress and senate) can unravel the mess we find ourselves in.

[blueeyedmanda]

I know I wouldn't want his job...especially to come in when things are so bleak- economy, war, and all the other things....

Ain't it!!!!

LOVE watching it!!!! ...the displays of patriotism....and OMG! ...also loving the outfits ( I am shallow)....but COME ON!!....Aretha Franklin??...that's SOME hat!!!!!!

GAAAAAWD, I don't even remember Tony Blair leaving and Gordon Brown arriving ....a real NON event!!!

[happygirl]

I'm anxiously awaiting pictures.

Can you imagine the madness in DC now - people trying to get on the parade route, get home (with no bridges open, roads closed), get warm....and get LUNCH!

I loved the little girls' beautiful coats!!!!!

[DingoGirl]

swear to God, at this point, if I were he, I would go and curl up in a corner from the PRESSURE and the expectations....

GAAAAAWD, I don't even remember Tony Blair leaving and Gordon Brown arriving ....a real NON event!!!

apparently Blair's wife wrote a book? have ya read it? Is it any good? Dishey? I'm rather fascinated with them and pondered trying to find it

Hi Psillies- Sorry I was MIA for the posting flurry- no good excuse. Just no silly, no energy and have had two pups here instead o' one. Remember Sadie- the dog I fostered this summer? She's been here since Saturday and she and Angus have been romping all over (those two should get a room!) :wub:

Mornin', guys!

Family's holding steady. . .....sis is okay at home, Dad's still in observation awaiting test results. We wait. .. ...

And What a Day for The United States! Very exciting. . . . . . ... ...

I had been following along on me gmail. I can't believe that BOTH sis and dad had kidney problems. Glad they are holding steady Em. Keep us posted.

I'm watching the inauguration from about an hour ago (tivo'd it while napping- GO ARETHA!!!!!!!!!!!). What has struck me most was them mentioning the PEACEFUL transfer of power. Made me realize how much we take this for granted- so many other countries do not have this!!!!!!! For this, I am grateful.

Laura- Eric! That is SO cool, but he must be so cold! He'll be a tired boy tonight. Don't tell me you two get to go to the Inaugural Ball??????

Oh oh oh Yo Yo Ma...........I'm gonna die- the man is a GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jerseyangel]

I think I'm well within my rights to say that I'm so proud to be an American

[happygirl]

Bev, no fancy galas for us. Although I would like to be at the luncheon now.

E said it was awesome....very patriotic.
