Has aged the best of all, nearly 80 and still a hottie, unlike his buddy Robert Redford, whose face looks like an old leather bag! I agree John Trovalta should look better at his age, as he is not that old.

in the morning (used to be 4) w/Nutrasweet, a little regular powdered creamer and a little liquid French Vanilla creamer (yes, I do like it sweet!) If I'm really sleepy and need the boost, I'll have another cup or two.

Then I immediately start drinking diet Dr. Pepper, and not the caffeine-free kind. Love it. I drink diet Dr. Pepper throughout the day and night, about 6 cans a day (it used to be diet Coke). I've joked with my friends and family that it might be time for them to hold an intervention for me with the Dr. P.

I do sometimes worry about the mass quantity of Nutrasweet I consume each day. Anybody else?

People who grew up with it and have moved have it sent to them now or stock up when they visit Louisiana.

I don't believe in Santa Claus, but I'm not going to sue
somebody for singing a Ho-Ho-Ho song in December. I
don't agree with Darwin, but I didn't go out and hire a
lawyer when my high school teacher taught his theory
of evolution.

Life, liberty or your pursuit of happiness will not be
endangered because someone says a 30-second prayer
before a football game.

So what's the big deal? It's not like somebody is up there
reading the entire book of Acts. They're just talking to a
God they believe in and asking him to grant safety to the
players on the field and the fans going home from the game.

But it's a Christian prayer, some will argue.

Yes, and this is the United States of America, a country
founded on Christian principles. According to our very
own phone book, Christian churches outnumber all others
better than 200-to-1. So what would you expect-somebody
chanting Hare Krishna?

If I went to a football game in Jerusalem,
I would expect to hear a Jewish prayer.

If I went to a soccer game in Baghdad,
I would expect to hear a Muslim prayer.

If I went to a ping pong match in China,
I would expect to hear someone pray to Buddha.

And I wouldn't be offended.
It wouldn't bother me one bit.
When in Rome .

But what about the atheists? is another argument.

What about them?
Nobody is asking them to be baptized. We're not going to
pass the collection plate. Just humor us for 30 seconds. If
that's asking too much, bring a Walkman or a pair of ear
plugs. Go to the bathroom. Visit the concession stand.
Call your lawyer!

Unfortunately, one or two will make that call. One or
two will tell thousands what they can and cannot do.
I don't think a short prayer at a football game is
going to shake the world's foundations.

Christians are just sick and tired of turning the other
cheek while our courts strip us of all our rights. Our
parents and grandparents taught us to pray before
eating; to pray before we go to sleep.

Our Bible tells us to pray without ceasing. Now a
handful of people and their lawyers are telling us
to cease praying.

God, help us.

And if that last sentence offends you,
well ... just sue me.

The silent majority has been silent too long. It's time we
let that one or two who scream loud enough to be heard

know that the vast majority don't care what they want. It
is time the majority rules!

It's time we tell them, you don't have to pray; you don't

have to say the pledge of allegiance;
you don't have to believe in God or attend services that
honor Him. That is your right, and we will honor your
right. But by golly, you are no longer going to take our
rights away.

We are fighting back...and we WILL WIN!

God bless us one and all ... especially those who denounce
Him. God bless America, despite all her faults. She is still
the greatest nation of all.

God bless our service men who are fighting to protect
our right to pray and worship God.

Whole bean and grind it yourself. It blows away the stuff in the can already ground.

I buy what is on sale, because it all tastes good when you grind it yourself. But I prefer 8 O'Clock Coffee, which may or may not be available in your area.

I gave up caffeine a few years ago. I used to drink 8 to 10 LARGE mugs of coffee a day but gave it up.

The bad part about being caffeine free was waking up in the morning and thinking "This is as good as I am going to feel all day long."
