    Who knows what anything means when it comes to the CSC haha. But yeah they got my petition in 5 mail days. I called them this morning and they said they had received it on Thursday. I asked if I can get updates on the automated call system she said know since the petitions don't stay very long there they don't enter the info into the automated call system.

    She said my case should be forwarded this week to the embassy. She said normally most cases wont stay in the NVC for more than 5 days. ;)

    I'm in. I want to lose 30lbs. I lost about 25 when I stayed in the Philippines for 60 months this winter, but gained most back since I've returned to healthy eating America. I am trying to eat smaller portions and better food. My main problem is I work in a tourist area 10 hours a day where I sit the whole time. Makes it hard to exercise when you get home after a long day. It's not physical exhaustion but mental exhaustion form dealing with masses of tourists all day haha. Also there is not a great selection of healthy foods to eat near me. So i have some challenges there. But here it goes. ;)

    CIA Asks Bush To Discontinue Blog

    WASHINGTON, DC—In the interest of national security, President Bush has been asked to stop posting entries on his three-month-old personal web log, acting CIA director John E. McLaughlin said Monday.

    Bush adds an entry to his blog.

    According to McLaughlin, several recent entries on PrezGeorgeW. typepad.com have compromised military operations, while other posts may have seriously undercut the PR efforts of White House press secretary Scott McClellan.

    A July 24 posting read, "Just got back from a lunch with Colin and Adil Moussa (one of Prince Saud al-Faisal's guys). Colin wants the Saudis to send some troops to Najaf—so some of the soldiers are Arab, I guess. This Moussa guy sure wears a lot of jewelry. A golden chain, a golden ring with his initials or something, and some other sparkling stuff—kinda effeminate. Anyway, best of luck in Iraq, Iyad."

    McLaughlin, normally hesitant to express public disapproval of the president, said the blog was "ill-advised."

    "I would hate for the president to inadvertently put American soldiers at risk," McLaughlin said. "We work hard to maintain the integrity of state secrets. When we see the president posting details of troop movements, international counter-terrorism negotiations, and even the nuclear launch codes, as he did on Monday, we have to step up and say something."

    Bush said he could not understand McLaughlin's anger, characterizing his blog as a "personal thing written for friends and family or whoever" and therefore "none of the CIA's business."

    Nevertheless, U.S. Secret Service director W. Ralph Basham objected to the blog, as well.

    "He is compromising his safety and the safety of those in my department," Basham said, citing a post from last Thursday in which Bush revealed that he "had to go to some secret meeting with Norquist at some Marriot [sic] over in Virginia." "Someone could uncover some serious state secrets, if they took the time to wade through all of those photos he posted after he got that digital camera in June."

    The controversial Bush blog.

    On Saturday, Basham asked to pre-screen all blog activity before Bush posts it online.

    Bush rejected Basham's request and later that day wrote in his blog that "Some people who shall remain nameless apparently do not know there is such a thing as free speech in this country."

    Members of Bush's re-election team have urged the president to exercise caution with his blog, perhaps because of posts like the one dated July 8, 2004: "Another long day of speeches and fundraisers. Met with all these phony media company execs. Had to promise them some bill next term and shake a lot of stupid hands, but they did bring in two or three million or so. Whatever. Karl keeps a list. I got big laughs during my speech, so I'm happy."

    Republican National Committee chairman Ed Gillespie said he spoke to Bush about the blog last month.

    "After he mentioned our Monday message-of-the-day in a Saturday post, we've really been pushing him to not talk about campaign strategy," Gillespie said. "He's not that involved in the planning anyway, so it shouldn't be too much to ask."

    "We're not trying to stifle the president's creativity," Gillespie added. "We think it's great he's taking an interest in writing."

    Bush maintained that he's doing nothing wrong.

    "I know so many people, but I'm way too busy to keep in touch with all of them," Bush said. "Whether I'm talking about our strategies in Gitmo or my dogs down in Crawford, the blog is an easy way to let everyone know what's been up with me. If I've just had a really good lunch at a new restaurant, or something funny happens in a briefing from the NSA, I want to let my friends and family know about it."

    McLaughlin said it's likely that Bush will eventually agree to submit his blog for review by the Secret Service.

    "Right now, the president insists it's his right to have it, as long as he doesn't work on it during White House work hours," McLaughlin said. "But I believe we'll be able to convince him, if we let him calm down. And even if we don't, frankly, I can't see the blog holding his interest for too long."

    watching shark attacks....i dont think ill ever go into the ocean again..im scared!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I miss the ocean. SIGH

    I once helped someone bring a nurse shark into shore. He had caught it off a pier and the steel leader on his line got wrapped around a pilling when the shark swam around it. We wadded out and He grabbed it around the head and I got the tail and we walked it back around the pilling then into shore where more people were waiting to bring it out.

    Nope, but I wanted to stay there in the Gouvernors place...after all, we helped fix it up...cough cough. I was over the bridge a lot going to the prison in Kinchloe.....just as a visitor.

    You should pay a visit to the Island sometime. I hear there is someone doing caricatures there. HAHAHA
