Controversy, again!
Posted by Mookie on Friday, March 25, 2005 6:03 AM
Happy Sunday March 27, 2005.

There! Is that PC enough for everyone?

Going to wear my bonnet that day. Not too many of us on the forum can say that!

Thank you Mookie, for wishing all of us a "Happy Sunday March 27, 2005".
Know you will look very lovely in your bonnet Sunday. I don't have one; as
a matter of fact, I haven't had an E-----bonnet for about 25 years, I guess.
Unless, of course, you would want to count my cowboy(girl) hat as one

May you and driver have a Happy Sunday March 27, 2005, and have a great
weekend.

Great to hear from Mark! And apparently he's right here in Philadelphia, the cradle of civilization.
Happy Easter, where applicable.

You buy a silly looking hat, cut holes in the top for ears, stick dead flowers on it and wear it in the Easter Parade. Then throw it in the closet and never wear it again!

Mark … IRAQ? … Are you suicidal or what? … Now that IS controversial, and perfect for keeping on topic (sort of).

Unfortunately, the fashionable dress for Iraq is BDU, body armor and combat helmut.
Still, the spirit of renewal prevails for Christian and non-Christian alike every where.
