Yes, guess it goes to show that us Yanks can put on a wee bit of pomp too! A proud day indeed.

Hi Bev

Angus and Sadie sitting in a tree, K - I - S - S - I - N - G!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thinking of your Dad and Sis, Em

Laura, I looked for E but I didn't spot him

Lucky him to be in the middle of it all!! Although I don't know, I kind of liked watching it in the comfort and warmth of me own home, no crowds, no frigid cold.

I so agree about the pressure and expectations he will be under. It's a stressful job as it is, look at how much Clinton and Bush aged, it was like an accelerated aging process for both of them.

There is no other country on this earth I'd rather be than right here! I'm blessed to have been born here. We are among the very richest people of the earth, and often take our freedoms, health and safety for granted. We should all be proud.

I agree wif ya there, Julie.

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....

Which is why, perhaps, you should NOT run for President of the United States. I'm thankful that somebody wants to do it . . . have I mentioned lately how I dislike being in charge??

I've got two BIL's that went. Here's the report as given by my FIL:

BIL and his girlfriend are downtown on the DC Mall this morning preparing to participate in the Inauguration of Barack Obama. They came in by bus last night/this morning and got into the DC area about 5:00am. They found a way to bypass the worst Metro Station congestion and got downtown by about 8:00am. Now they are walking from Chinatown (9th and G St.) to 24th St. by the Lincoln Memorial and around to the south side of the Mall to watch the swearing-in ceremony. They report that it is all good. They are well fed. All of the stores and restaurants along the periphery of the Mall are open and serving and there are 7,000 port-potties along the Mall.

Bev - hows come you got Sadie again . . . Just a visit, or did sumptin' happen??

My news . . . I gobba code . . . I'm aw stuffy . . . I'll try not to breave on you.

Phunnee that you mentioned this quote of Soooozie's, Janet.....as soon as I read it, I immediately thought of you were the news to hit you that, in fact, you had become our Monarch for 100 pages. Curling up, shaking and rocking......"it's too much....what they expect of me...it's tooooo much". .. . . ....

Take good care ub yer code, Janed. . . . . ..

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.

Yes . . .. . ......I wonder how it pans out in Burundi?. . . ...

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

I, too, Luuuuurve this man . . . . . . ..

Brought a tear to *my* eye - and I ain't even AMERICAN!!!!! (sad cow cries at everything! )

They missed the part where last week he said 'misunderestimate' on national television....

[elye]

Ohhhhhh, looooobsterrrrrrrrrr......nothing like it. My true treat phood .. .. ....I'd be eating it all the time, but for the heinous expense. ....

Em, hope yer family's doing well.

Thanks, you guys.

Well, my dad had the same laproscopic surgery this aft that my sister had two days ago.......but they found a big stone in his bladder, which they proceeded to annihilate with a laser. Went further up, and saw a BUNCH of stones high up in one kidney. This may require major surgery, so I don't know if they will do this on a frail, 84-year old man.

We'll know more tomorrow.

Even post-op, lying there morphined up, he still had me larfin' . .. . .. . .. .

Saying a prayer fer dad, Em

I made 2 huge lobster pies Saturday (ouch- lobsters are hard to de-shell and my hands hurt!) and everyone bagged out on me because of the snowstorm.They're in the freezer- who's coming??????? :D

[Green12]

Saying a prayer fer dad, Em

Me too, Em.

Poopy Cow about it all ....but good to hear he has his sense of humoUr going

Keep us posted!

Shaggy lobster legs

Lobster pie?!?!?! Is it like a pot pie with lobster, summat like that?? Sounds good, I'll be there....can't stink anymore than salmon

Meant to say earlier I love how Sooze says her "sils"

So Sils, um, very stressed over ebay at the moment.....there is a technical problem with the shipping calculator, my items are showing up with $30 shipping on each thing so it's driving the bidders away. I contacted eBay and they won't do anything about it. This is going to totally affect the outcome of my auctions

Can't you add a note to your description explaining the computer glitch?

[Green12]

I did, but I am affraid they aren't even clicking on the item to look inside at the description when they see what the shipping is.

I would take the shipping completely off but can't now as each item has one bid already, and you can't revise once you have a bid.

sucks.

I hope you don't have a lot of stuff.

[flourgirl]

Em, saying prayers for your dad. Somehow it always seems harder when it's your parents! Good that he's keeping his sense of humor. Hope all turns out well.

Lobshter! One of the things I miss about upstate NY is that we used to go to Maine once in a while in the summer. There is nothing like fresh l.o.b.s.h.t.e.r.!!!! I once went out on a boat with a lobsterman and got a "tour" of how they catch them and lots of info. about them. Pretty kool. (Were they screaming while hanging onto the little fuffy legs??)

[jerseyangel]

Lobster <drool>

[flourgirl]

Joooliuss....hope your ebay troubles kleer up. I still have not checked out ebay...guess it's something I need to rectify fairly soon
