RN ~ researching some genealogy I stumbled onto some anti American sentiments. That's par for the course but apparently the author / journalist didn't check his facts! Relating how the USA military base in Kosovo was named, he stated that the "ghost of Sgt James Bondsteel" lingers as a "warning"... Reading on, he said Sgt Bondsteel was killed in Viet Nam... Oh, I see, twisting facts to suit his diatribe? In truth, SSgt J L Bondsteel (1947-1987) was the last Medal of Honor recipient of the Nixon era. He retired as MSgt and died in a tragic accident in Alaska, age 39. Next time I have a gripe with journalism I'll be sure to remember Euro politics and the lengths they go to belittle our 'war heroes'...

RN as I understand things, you will not need a passport until 2009 now to go from the US into Canada. If you want to come back into the US; however, you will need a passport eff. Jan 1st. That would kinda suck if you got there and couldn't come home! This topic keeps changing, but I think it's wise to get the passport just in case!

RN, Cinnamon, that's funny... I have the passport forms on my kitchen table. I keep putting it off, seems like so much work, but I'm told it's a very liberating feeling to hold a passport. I've never had one.

RN Cinammon, I'd get the passports ASAP. These days I wouldn't consider going anywhere, including the States without it, and frankly, it's almost impossible anyways. The postcard pix are SUCH fun, especially now that we are not permitted to smile in them so EVERYONE looks menacing in them. ....

RN my husband called and he got his Christmas bonus. $1000.00 but after taxes and the $50 deposited into savings automatically there's about $500 left. Hope Uncle Sam enjoys it! We'll be paying off Christmas charges [our Christmas was last week] so we will put it too good use.

RN..Karen, I know, its seems like work but it was so easy...especially now that they will take anyone with a valid passport as your guarantor. It took me probably 15 minutes to fill out form and a couple trys at pictures (ps...don't go to London Drugs...they suck!!..the pics didn't even look like me, it was frightening really)... and voila..done RN..I should get them in 2-3 weeks RN..heres my little guys mugshot..took 12 trys to get it...LOL

RN, I am blown away by this pictures my mom emailed me. These little works of art are actually marzipan/sugar. (If someone can tell me how to shrink these to about 50% I would appreciate it)

RN I need to answer this question on a job application: 117. Have you received a grade of B or above in school courses, taken since high school, with a strong emphasis on interpersonal skills (for example, customer relations, counseling, etc.)? Does anybody think the class Interpersonal Communications would count?

RN, I'm reading your post Beckie03 and feel better that I'm not the only one who feels that way. The motivation just wasn't coming tonight..and I really do love the holidays too. That's why I like my decs up as early as possible. I'll give it a go tomorrow!!
