My husband gets a little note from Jeb everyday in the form of a "Family Minute"(a syndicated column I think)~:spin: Ususally they are things like you really should eat dinner with your family, or women like to talk and men like to act so men act like you are listening etc... This was todays:

Governor's Strengthening Families Initiative
presents...
Family Minute with Mark Merrill

Would you risk your career to stand up for what you believe?

Actor Mel Gibson is doing just that. Gibson, a devout Catholic, has produced a
movie about the last twelve hours of Jesus' life. It's called The Passion of the
Christ, and it opens today. Ever since Gibson announced his plans, he has faced
some pretty strong opposition from Hollywood insiders. But he's not backing
down. He says his faith won't let him. No matter how you feel about Mel Gibson's
movie, you have to respect his conviction and determination.

Remember your family first.

Lilith---As you know,I practically grew up in the "old"motorcycle
lifestyle.One of the things,most respected(right or wrong)was,if a
person stood up for their convictions & beliefs.Also for their friends
& family! Irish

I agree....this will most likely be the only time I agree with my Governor. I am very curious to see if he still thinks standing up for your convictions and families is important when state workers who have same sex spouses/partners fight for family/spouse insurance coverage.

Lilith---That subject,is just another thing,with religion & politics,
that I'm not even going to touch.On one side,you're right,on the
other you're wrong.You just have to hope & pray,that the "right"
decision is made! Irish

Yep! Right and wrong are sooooo subjective. Not for me to decide who is and isn't right. Unless I'm grading the paper;) Respect and understanding are my goal usually.

Tonight is my date night and I wonder if I can even get in to see the movie. Bet it will be packed!!!!

Lilith,

You are planning to see the film tonight?

Woosh! You are one tough motor scooter! Let us know how it goes.

Good luck!

I will wait a bit.

Who's she??

She is the Queen of Sheba.

Your going to see a religious flick on a date?

Hmmmmmmmm

No I just spent 4 hours in a mediation over whether some crack head parents with lists of battery convictions are willing to go to Domestic Violence therapy....I don't think I can bare to think anymore today:D

Lilith,

Madam, you ARE one tough motor scooter!

Catch22,

For my wife and I, it is not what you do on your date, it is who you do it with.




Good recovery.

I skipped the flick. I heard that people were coming out of the theaters sobbing and visibly disturbed. Not the best night for that, could have led to a complete meltdown:D We ate at a cozy Italian joint and spent the evening prowling B&N instead. You would not believe the healing properties of garlic bread, hand holding, and good reads.

I heard on the news this morning that a lady in Wichita, KS had a heart attack during the climax of the movie.

It made 15-20 million yesterday.
