THE GREATEST SHOW ON "TURF".....


AGAIN..............WE KICKED BUTT....!!!!!!!!!!!
AND HERE'S MY BOY JIMMY GRAHAM AFTER A SCORE....
Our coach of the Saints....was injured earlier in the season, when a player slammed him accidentely.....so he's been on crutches.......

Here's the "new and improved"...."FIRST DOWN"...SIGNAL......LOL...
Dec 4, 2011 - The Green Bay Packers are the darlings of the NFL right now, but the New Orleans Saints might be playing better overall football. Quarterback Drew Brees put on a passing clinic on Monday Night Football against the New York Giants and made his case to be in the NFL MVP race. The Saints will look to continue to their winning ways against the Detroit Lions and stay undefeated at home.
The Detroit Lions are coming off a tough loss to the Packers on Thanksgiving Day and will hope to be able to rebound against the Saints on the road, to get right back in the race for the NFC wild card. Quarterback Matt Stafford is coming off a poor performance that saw him throw three interceptions in the loss, and the Lions defense was run over by one of the best offenses in the NFL. They'll have a tall task playing one of the other best offenses in the NFL on the road against the Saints.
Game Date/Time: Sunday, December 4; 8:20pm ET
Location: Mercedes-Benz Superdome, New Orleans, LA
TV Schedule
Local: FOX




LOOK ANOTHER OLD VINTAGE ADD..............FOR TRAVEL AT CHRISTMAS...





To My Lovely Friends here.....and to ~g~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




 "PEACE ON EARTH...GOOD WILL TO MEN"..........simple words....right?    a phrase you've heard forever.........and especially at Christmas time......words, just words......I've heard so many times.......and  feeling personally,   there is NO peace on earth, there will be NO peace on earth..........just words...................the words never really meant anything to me............
well................I found this song/video.....by the "Casting Crowns".......................(I'm not overly religious.....by long shot).....and even just the message of  'Peace on Earth....Good Will to Men'......take the OVERT  religion out.........of the video...............

I've decided to reconsider the "Peace on Earth....Good will to Men"  gig........!!

Maybe there can be,..........and the best part,..........or just find your own Personal Peace on Earth.......ya know....when something really terrible almost happens....in your life....................and when  it/life  gets better..............and ya hear yourself say "Thank You" outloud...........I know I've done that......I .have said  "THANK YOU........ (literally) out loud.......because it could have been so much Worse....................WELL................who  the Hell...was I Thanking...............???????

Again.....just finding your very  own  Peace on Earth...Good will to men...........I'm gonna post this............despite.......my head  trying to talk me out of  posting .............I can't help it if  really  'sappy or corny(thats me)'..........to post...........DOING IT ANYWAY...........!

Speaking of "Thanks"   I Thank eveyone who visits here.........and those I've gotten to know......especially.......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you can always "X" out ....or hit delete.........no hurt feelings here!!!!


BELOW..........2 verses from the song "I HEARD THE BELLS ON CHRISTMAS DAY"......powerful words...

And in despair I bowed my head.
"There is no peace on earth" I said,
for hate is strong and mocks the song,
of peace on earth, good will to men.



But the bells are ringing.
Like a choir singing.
Does anybody hear them?
Peace on earth, good will to men.


Then rang the bells more loud and deep,
God is not dead, nor doth He sleep,
the wrong shall fail, the right prevail,
with peace on earth, good will to men!

Last TWA aircraft to be transformed
The last aircraft with the TWA livery is on its way to Kansas City to be given the American Airlines livery.
David Campbell, vice president of American Airlines' Kansas City Maintenance Base, said by the end of next week, workers at the facility will have stripped, polished and painted 130 TWA airplanes into the American livery in nine months.
The plane, known as No. 4WS, or Wings of Pride, was also leased by employees of TWA in 1994 through payroll deductions to demonstrate pride in the company.

American Airlines Files for Bankruptcy

Submitted 
American Airlines parent AMR Corp. (AMR) filed for bankruptcy after failing to secure cost-cutting labor agreements and sitting out a round of mergers that dropped it from the world’s largest airline to No. 3 in the U.S. With the filing, American became the final large U.S. full- fare airline to seek court protection from creditors. The Fort Worth, Texas-based company, which traces its roots to 1920s air- mail operations in the Midwest, listed $24.7 billion in assets and $29.6 billion in debt in . . .

HERE IS MY SMALL TRIBUTE TO THE BRAVE........WHO SERVE US....NO MATTER WHERE ON EARTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



I had a Question....What are Poppies...and the significance to Military????????????????.....Thank you Foggy for this Answer....!!!!!!
PLEASE SEE BELOW FOR ANSWER
  • Scarlet corn poppies grow naturally in disturbed earth throughout Western Europe
  • Only plant that grew in battle-scarred fields of Northern France and Flanders during WWI
  • Canadian doctor John McCrae wrote In Flanders fields the poppies blow / Between the crosses, row on row... in memory of fallen comrades
  • It inspired American secretary Moina Michael to sell poppies to raise funds for ex-soldiers
  • Poppy became US national emblem of remembrance in 1920, and 1921 in the UK





In the Image above.....are those dimensions, accurate????????????? compliments of "Flightaware"....I know Foggy had answered me with regard to above picture.....either way the picture is BAD ASS!!!!!!!!!!!
