6. After 144,000 were raptured up,

12,000 from each of the 12 tribes of Israel, the 7 billion rest of us, plus all the resurrected billions who had died before us, were cast into the lake of fire where we burned and were tortured forever by the devil in Hell.

And so that these ultimate glorious miracles could happen is why God created this beautiful world in the first place.

Margaret Truman
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

we only have this excerpt:

Mary Margaret Truman Daniel (born 17 February 1924 in Independence, Missouri) is an American writer and the author of biographies, books on the White House and several best-selling mystery novels.

Daniel is the daughter of 33rd president Harry S. Truman and his wife, Bess Truman. She was christened Mary Margaret Truman. Mary, for her aunt, Mary Jane Truman, and Margaret, for her maternal grandmother, Margaret Gates Wallace.

In the 1940s, she aspired to be a singer. After graduating from George Washington University and undergoing some classical vocal training, she debuted in a vocal recital on the radio in March 1947. After a performance in December 1950, Washington Post music critic Paul Hume gave her an unfavorable review, resulting in an incident in which President Truman threatened to punch the reviewer in the nose. Despite the bad press, she performed on the stage, radio and television well into the 1950s.
. . .
Truman married New York Times reporter, and later editor, Elbert Clifton Daniel Jr. (known as Clifton) (1912-2000) on April 21, 1956, at the Trinity Episcopal Church in Independence, MO. Their sons are: Clifton Truman Daniel (born 1957), William Wallace Daniel (1959-2000), who was killed in a taxi cab collision in New York City, Harrison Gates Daniel (born 1963), and Thomas Washington Daniel (born 1966). Clifton has written and spoken publicly about his grandfather and his experience as the grandchild of a president.

Shortly before her father's death in 1972, Daniel, under her maiden name, published Harry S. Truman, a full length biography of her father, which was critically acclaimed. The book extensively used sources from Presidential papers in the Truman Library. Daniel followed this book with a volume of her mother's life, Bess W. Truman, which covered the life of the Trumans from an insider's perspective as opposed to a macro-view perspective taken in Harry S. Truman.
. . .
At the age of 81, Daniel continues to reside in her Park Avenue home in Manhattan. She serves on the Board of Directors for the Harry S. Truman Presidential Library.

8. Hi, muffin.

Alas, my trip to Vancouver to rendezvous with CanuckAmok and about 30 visiting Seattlites (most of them of the hotly sexual female persuasion - don't know how CA pulls the dames like this; he's got some 'specially stinky power going for him, evidently) was aborted as a Union Pacific derailment to the south of me has created havoc with the railroad schedules around these parts.

That obviously hasn't stopped my unwarranted pedantry

What's goint on in California?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. I'm sorry! I know you were looking forward to going......

Not much happening under my roof.....

Sunday my husband and I might go up onto PV Peninsula for their Music Fair...the Los Angeles Philharmonic is playing.

Tomorrow I get my hair cut! Such is the exciting life I lead.....

And your pedantry is always welcome, and is never unwarranted!
