Max-

You can also watch FNC online from here.

Max-

Thanks for the link. I think that is just certain videos from FNC shows, and it isnt the simulcast of the news channel, so i guess you arent getting the full experience, but its a start

According to wikipedia, it mentioned something about FNC coming out in HD sometime this summer.

Brad: http://www.foxnews.com/video/index.html can see it right here. I know the change was meant to be sometime this summer, but i don’t know exactly when.
I’ve tried not eatting meat before, didn’t do too well. I used to be quite anemic when i didn’t eat red meat, and that wasn’t good at all.

The course is meat science & food technology, so i have to both.

Max-

I didnt know you can watch FNC on your computer. Is it available on this site? I also heard that FNC is going to come out in HD fairly soon. Do you have any info on when that will be?

I dont know, it seems like vegetarian entree are always highly seasoned or contain a lot of spices. I guess its to give it taste, because there is no meat in them.

I know the most common complaint in people that make the choice to go vegetarian, is that they feel lethargic and tired all the time, probably because they arent getting the proper nutrients.

Maybe you can experiment, and become a semi vegetarian. Try it for a week, and see the difference

Good luck on your meat studies. Maybe you should also consider studying Food Technologies, if its available at your school.

Brad: I watch fox online, so i get different ads.

I’ve had jambalaya before, but not this year, i normally only eat spicey foods when it’s hot, and this year it’s yet to be hot, so not had much spicey yet.

I like pork and beef a lot, so i have them quite often. I don’t think i could ever be a vegetarian. I’m interested in studying meat science at university, when i go for a visit i will have to discuss what jobs it would open up for me, and see if it is what i want.

Max-

Its great that you can cook your own meals and dishes. I can also, and its a whole lot better than going out to a resturant, where the salt and fat content is way over the top. You can also control the ingredients, so that is yet another good thing.

A lot of famous people have come out and endorsed the Nutri System products from famous football players like Dan Marino, to comedians like Larry the Cable guy. I am sure you saw the commericials on FNC.

By any chance tried jambalaya? Its a rice dishes with okra, tomatoes, bell peppers, sometimes seafood, and other ingredients. Its great hearty dish, but you dont mind it being too spicy and peppery.

That is mostly why is prefer the turkey hot dogs, rather than the original ones, but i dont like to eat too much meat or chicken. I usually stay with the free range ones, and eat mostly organic farm fresh types.

You should also try those Morningstar Farms veggie hot dogs and sausage, its made with 100 percent vegetable ingedients, so its really good for you health. And you can even tell the difference.

I guess its all about compassion about animals, that is why a lot of people decide to go vegetarian these days.

Brad: Nutri System isn’t available in the UK, and i love cooking. So i have a range of dishes of varying cooking times depending on how busy i am, though i also have some cold meats for the end of a long or busy day. I wish I could spend longer each day cooking, but sometimes life comes in the way. I’ve also never seen chicken fried steak in the UK outside of my house, it’s not really a popular dish here. Though in Austria you can get them on almost every street in the center of cities.

I’ve had turkey hotdogs before, my friend’s mother made them up when i was visiting him a while back, I was very surprised by the taste. Then again i can tell the difference between hotdogs made with different parts of a pig, so maybe i’m a little hard to please in that regard.

Sadly no Marie Callander’s here

Max-

Have you ever seen the Nutri System ads on FNC? All of those meals are shipped to your doorstep. You can easily say that they arent properly refrigerated, but its good to check it out and be safe, especially with all the bacteria and samonella cases with tomatoes, vegetables, and meat. Those things seem to be happening more often and frequently.

You should try and turkey hot dogs from Healthy Choice, they are much leaner, and have the same taste as the regular ones.

A lot of microwavable tv dinners have chicken fried steak as the entree, i dont know if you have Marie Callanders where you live n the UK, but you definately should check it out.

Hot dogs count.
I’ve never had a microwaved chicken fried steak, never seen one for sale, i make mine myself. I never have tomatoe sauce, normally i won’t have a sauce, but if i do it’ll be a gravy. German spatzle is a lot less dense than italian spaghetti, so it’s traditionally eatten with gravy, since it soaks it up. Since i make gravy with my chicken fried steak i’ll normally have spatzle with it.

I think i might have gone to that site before, at least one like it. I’d like to try buffalo, but the only place i’ve seen it for sale doesn’t store their meat properly, so i can’t buy from there. I just have to wait till i find somewhere nice that sells it.

Susan-

Yep, that was the one i was talking about. Its usually FNC during the late night hours, when Red Eye is being shown. Its just like that joint and spray ad i mentioned to you about.

They also sell the Bison Steaks on the QVC channel. Do you happen to watch that? That host Lisa Robertson should come work for FNC, she would be good addition to the growing team.

Have you also seen that commericial where you can send in for a free pamphlet called “to the writer in search for a publisher”. That ad looks like it was taped at 20 years ago. I wonder why they are still showing it.

If you havent seen it yet, look for it when you are watching FNC late nights.

It seems like the number of people finding either a python snake or an animal roaming in your house is pretty common, depending where you live. If you check Janices blog, a blogger there many Deb came across a similar situation, and she is still terrified.

If ever that happens to you, i hope you will be strong and deal it the situation in a calm manner. I wouldnt want you have a heart attack or passout. Just quickly get away from your house and call for help.

Max-

I dont know how the german spaghetti tastes like, i have only ate the italian one, but i cant eat it too often, because its really acidity, because of the tomato sauce, and i usually get a major heartburn afterwards. The same goes with cheese and dairy products. That is why i eat those in moderation.

I have tried hamburgers, but not frankfurters(does hot dogs count). Chicken Fried Steak is a common microwavable dish. I absolutely love potato salad. I have tried liverwurst a long time ago, but its really disgusting.

I think eating too much caviar, or even brie cheese, can cause you gout, which is a serious condition when too much fluid goes to your knees and joints.

Here is some info on Bison Steak, also some recipes, if you are interested:

http://www.bison-steak.info/

Brad–

I saw the advertisement for the Bison meat– they were selling it– same one?

Brad–

any thoughts about the python in the washing machine? You would need to talk to my cardiologist after me having a heart attack!

Susan: Yeah, it was actually the same as my dad’s at the time, despite his not having just ate any suger.

Brad: Bison isn’t too much different from grass fed beef. It’s mostly what they are fed. It’s the same with fish, farm fed fish tend to have the “bad” fats in high amounts, while wild have lots of the “good” fats. It’s best when creatures eat what they were designed to eat.

Well i’m sure you’ve had hamburgers and frankfurters before. You’ve also got ones like bratwurst, chicken fried steak, potatoe salad, saurkraut, mettwurst (cured raw pork spread, tastes like cavaiar), lots of various liver patties, pumpernickle bread, loads of dumplings, and many more. I like the german version of spagetti, but i can’t take the italian kind. The german one is less densly pressed, so it fills you up faster, but isn’t as heavy.

Max-

How about Bison Steak? I saw it on a commercial once, and i heard its low fat, and contains a lot of iron.

I would also recommend trying canned salmon. Those tend to be quite oily, but are a lot more healthier than the fresh kind. Plus you can eat the bones, with contain a ton of nutrients.

I am glad you are taking care of health, because diabetes can be a hereditary thing. I think that old time character actor i mentioned that supports McCain, Wilford Brimley, is also a diabetic, because he is endorsing commercials for Liberty Medical Supply, which sells diabetic testing equipment.

I havent tried any German foods before, what are some good dishes?

I like to pasta, that is one of my favorite foods, but i usually go for the low carb version. You should try it also, because it has the same taste and texture as regular pasta, but without all the starch.

Take Care.

Also check this article out. Its from the weekly standard, about Phil Gramm Resignation from John McCain’s Campaign. I guess he doesnt want to give the liberals a reason to bash McCain.

http://www.weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/015/342sfqhg.asp

Hey everyone-

Did anyone happen to see this on Fox and Friends yesterday morning? A woman in ME found a 8 foot python snake in her washing machine.

Here is the link:
http://www.wral.com/news/strange/story/3224669/

Any thoughts?

Max–

I am always poking my finger too and my blood sugar goes up a bit after I eat– so you are safe!

Brad–

I use to be too concerned with nutrition to the point where people wanted to deck me because I would be preaching– and now I am being punished because my daughter is on that kick! I just listen and smile! But I want to tell her to chill! LOL

But I am a freak about diabetes!! I have a life here which depends on my control– if I mess up, I could cause great damage! His eyes are good– (today’s visit to the opthalmologist) Dr. McPhee– from John Hopkins- He was a doctor there and specialized in diabetes– I lucked out to have found him!

And thanks for the heads up on Maureen– will check her out!

xxx

Susan-

Wow, thanks for the nutrition lesson

You could give lectures on the subject, and help a lot of people with their lives.

I dont think i could ever be a vegan. Its a huge responsibility, and it takes courage and effort to be successful. Plus i dont know if i can stand not eating fish.

Plus a lot of the menu choices for a vegan are very highly seasoned, and contain a ton of spices and seasonings. ]

Alot of times, those will give me an upset stomach and heartburn, as well as most tomato products.

I really like Mexican food also, as well as Chinese food. But i heard ones we are familiar with, arent the same authentic dishes you may find overseas. Its that true?

I have never heard of Adelle Davis, it looks like her research is still have promenent affects in this modern day and age.

By any chance seen those Making Healthy Choices program on the LeSea Religious network? They sell all these mineral products that are supposedly an alternative way of keeping healthy.

But did you know the founder, Maureen Kenndy Salaman, died a couple of years ago from colon cancer, and they claimed she was all a fake, and was endorsing a product that doesnt work.

It you google her name, you will know what i am talking about.

Brad: No, my dad is a diabetic, recently we tested me, it was at the high end of normal. Of course when my dad said he was ready to test my blood suger was shortly after i’d eatten some candy, so that would have moved it up a bit. I think it’s the bulkyness of carbs that doesn’t suit me. I like German foods, they are very high in callories, so i can get all the callories i need but with a lot less bulk, so i feel good afterwards.

I love red meat. If you want Omega 3 get some grass fed beef steak, it’s supposed to have far higher levels of Omgea 3 than even alaskan salmon. Plus a lot less fat.

Dr. Atkins diet allowed to much fat as meat and cheese, no carbs, are full of fat! LOL

Brad–

well there are the good carbs and then those bad ones– important to have fiber in the diet for a diabetic– it slows down the blood sugar– I have learned a lot about diabetes as my objective is to keep this person alive with all organs intact! As diabetes is a killer in more than one way– it affects every part of the body– I make sure he sees all his doctors without skipping one appt– today is the opthalmologist-

Daughter is a vegan– I can handle the vegetarian diet as I like mexican food– and I could easily survive on cheese enchiladas, chile rellenos, bean burritos, and lots of salsa– but vegan never– I love my cheese! So when she is here, we try different vegan places or foods– actually, there is quite a variety of good stuff out there which is fun to eat!

Here is trivia-Adelle Davis, was an American pioneer in the fledgling field of nutrition during the mid-20th century. She advocated whole unprocessed foods, criticized food additives, and claimed that dietary supplements and other nutrients play a dominant role maintaining health, preventing disease, and restoring health after the onset of disease….

She died of cancer of the stomach– 1974– and her thoughts about nutrition have been a major discussion!

xxxx

Hey Max-

What do you think about the problems happening with GB Packers quarterback Bret Favre wanting a unconditional release? It was on Greta the last several nights if you were watching.

I hope it isnt diabetes that is making you feel ill. Have you seen the show on FIT TV called Blaine’s Low Carb Kitchen?

Susan-

I remember when the creator of the original low carb diet, Dr Atkins passed away from a freak accident, he wasnt that healthy, reports are that he had almost total blockage in his arteries, and was overweight and had a high blood pressure, among other things.

That is way people were questioning if his famous diet really works.

What do you think about people who decide to become vegetarian? I have tried it once, but the food selection was so dull and uninteresting that i finally stopped.

I do know that the most common complaint from vegetarians is that they always feel tired, because they dont get the proper nutrients and vitamins.

I usually tend to eat mostly stir fried veggies, with fish like salmon, because those have omega 3 fatty acids that help with heart function. I still eat meat, but only occasionally. I usually only eat chicken breast, and lean steak. I try to avoid red meat.

Pizza usually gives me a heartburn, but i sometimes eat the California Pizza Kitchen ones. Those are delicious, have you tried it?

It must be tough taking care of a diabetic, but i am sure a kind hearted and caring person like you will do just fine.

And thanks for the news about daily intake for diabetics.

According to the “standard” recommendations of the American Diabetes Association, people should consume about 50-60% of their daily caloric intake as carbohydrates. Except for fiber, which Americans get too little of, all carbohydrates turn directly into sugar (glucose) in the bloodstream. So, in effect, to determine how much sugar you consume, just look at the “Total Carbohydrates” entry on the nutritional label found on most store-bought foods. You can see that many items labeled as “sugar free” really aren’t.

Most people consume between 2000 and 2500 calories per day. So if you get 60% of those calories from carbohydrates, whether they contain actual sugar or not, you are putting more than 3/4 pound of sugar into your bloodstream daily.

Brad–

I care for a diabetic and I have to watch his carbs as you know, carbs turn into sugar– so we have the low carb diet here for the most part– when I use more insulin on him is usually when he has had too many carbs– Pizza is great example– he loves pizza so it is a treat!

And thanks for the nice compliments– that cat is LDG! LOL

Susan: no, they had an NFL game there, but it was $180 for bad seats, yuck.

Brad: i like it, good for muscle building too. Plus when i have a lot of carbs i tend to feel ill

What do you guys about the low carb diet? It seems like its most efficient and healthiest way to lose weight during these grueling times on our society?

—————–

Also what are your thoughts on the fact that all of the liberal smear machine newtork is going to follow their star candidate, BHO, on a trip to Iraq? Can you say preferential treatment to their star candidate? Its just like how Steve explained it this morning, those other liberal network are just like a infomerical for BHO. Its sickening when you think about it.

LDG–

Thanks for the tribute link to Tony Snow. It was a very good read, and from a respected columnist, Michelle Malkin. Maybe they should consider her for Brit Humes replacement. She did a good job filling in for Bill OReilly a while back.

Susan-

I really like that link you posted, it looks like an angry cat getting ready to plot his revenge

Well, you have a natural talent of finding poems, keep up the good work.

The same goes with Patty and everybody else here.

And i dont think we are back to instant posting just yet, because i havent seen some of the messages i posted come up yet.

And thanks for that link. I used to be a huge Foo Fighters fanatic. I still hear their songs on the radio sometimes.

Becky–

Jen inspired me to write poems– did you see hers on the fire thread? Way cute!

xxx

Adam
I enjoyed reading your blog. Tony touched everyone’s life, even us listeners. I loved to watch him as Press Secretary, and I loved hearing him sit in for Rush Limbaugh.

I am very sad for his wife and children. They have to carry on. It will be hard for them.

Thank you, for your wonderful news reporting. You seem to enjoy what you do.

Sincerely,
Donna S. in Memphis

Max–

Have you been to Wembley Stadium there in London?

http://music.msn.com/foofighters?GT1=28000

LDG — Thanks for the link to Tony Snow’s funeral–

Kathy Texas– too bad you can’t go or did you?

Patty– LOL TO YOU! Just because!

@LDG–

great picture of you!!!!! I would like to share your picture– (LDG’s picture of how he feels about the blog)

http://icanhascheezburger.com/2008/07/16/funny-pictures-employee-of-the-month/

Brad–

I was searching the web about funny poems in reference to “missing you” and that was the one I picked! LOL

Max– Adam said- I promise new post Wednesday morning (my time) and back to consistent posts. Also Patty….we are gettig closer to immediate postings again.

are we consistenly going back to immediate postings? LOL

Hi Adam,
Thanks for your memory of Tony Snow. His death has really hit me hard. I didn’t know him at all and envy your connection to him. I always loved Tony’s thoughts after Fox News Sunday. I liked him in every aspect of his tv or radio time. When I grew to love him was when he answered an email “I” sent to him. Even “me”! I was shocked. I had emailed many hosts of many shows on fnc about a commercial shown that said God’s name in vain. I was upset that it wasn’t edited out. He answered right away. He didn’t like it either and told me he would check it out. I never saw it again and I am a huge fox fan! Tony answered me……amazing. I can’t express what that meant to me. He was a GREAT man! I will miss him so much. I can only imagine what you and others that actually sat in a room with him or knew him, etc., must be feeling. I send my deepest and most sincere sympathy to you all and especially to his family.

Thinking of The Snow Family today…
a song that is very dear to us

Ships of Heaven…by Blackhawk

I’ll be sailing on the ships of heaven
When the tide rolls out for the Last time
You’ll find me sailing on the ships of heaven
Waiting for the day
I come sailing back to you

Susan ~ great poems!

I feel like I have lost a friend I have watched his show since its inception. What a great loss

Good morning from sunny southwest Florida!

Welcome back Adam and sunshine!

Adam: Yeah, i remember thinking when you started that i’d be quite a lot.
Great about getting closer to instant postings.

posting on-topic:

@All

FYI
http://michellemalkin.com/2008/07/17/saying-goodbye-to-tony-snow/

@Susan-AZ

Neither yesterday, nor today, is there a test post, Susan. My regrets. After three weeks of this nonsense, even comedy has its limits.

I’ll be around when something meaningful comes up. ’till then, or the return to real-time posting…
((departs))

Susan-

Thanks for yet another heartwarming poem, who is this Francis Kazinczy anyhow? Is he a famous poet? Is there a link to where i can find some of his poems?

John-

That is an awesome idea, maybe Adam can cohost the 6pm time slot with Erica Hill. FNC should try and negotiate a contract to bring over from that other liberal network.

Avi-

I know what you mean about the posts not coming up. I think maybe this blog should go back to instant posting, and the people who make crude and nasty comments should be moderated. But i dont see what regular posters should be also.

KC-Fresno, Ca.-

I think Alisyns blog recently started moderating its comments again, for some reason.

Montana-

I didnt know comments were rejected in Greta’s blog? I do wander over there once in while, but rarely post. She brings up a lot of interesting news and topics.

@Adam-

I changed the Tech Tuesday to every other Tuesday….because…frankly….I didn’t have the time to properly check out gadgets and recommend them for you guys. I will say, the Belkin stand has sold a ton because of our tech tuesday blog last week! We are also working on a ton of stuff for the blog and I have spent the first part of the week setting up some great stories and ones we’ll have great chats about here..

It has been so long– who is Belkin? LOL Are we still in 2008?

At least there are some great poetry coming out of this!

xxx

Max– it was that dryer! I should have known better not to dry anything which shrinks!

Betty & Susan: You think the tech tuesday thread kinda shrunk in the wash?

Tap, tap, tap, tap,
I need a map,
for Adam is lost,
and so are our posts!

or

Ever absent, ever near;

Still I see thee, still I hear;

Yet I cannot reach thee, dear!

~Francis Kazinczy

Adam…………with all the forecast personel changes at Fox, are you ready to take on Brit Hume’s spot at 6:00pm Eastern time?

Here’s a promo………….”An Hour in Housley’s House”, serious news for serious viewers.

Hey, run it by New York, you never know.

Adam,

Miss you much and hope all is going well for you

I know patience is a virtue – BUT – this is getting pretty rough. I know it is not in your hands, but this is getting crazy. If you test post on ALL of the blogs Fox has, you will see that yours is the only one that does not have instant posting. Can’t understand it at all.

Can we have HOUSLEY IN THE HOUSE BACK???? Never had a problem there, only started when they had you switch over to this one.

Will they cancel this blog if you do not get enough hits???

If I remember correctly on your other blog, some of your threads were over 1000 hits per topic. Boy, those were the days –

Thanks for letting me vent and stay safe where ever you may be.

FL Sunshine~ It looks like your post made it!

Good morning everyone and happy Wednesday.

I see there have been no improvements as to getting anything posted for hours and hours.

Miss all of you

everyone get out your tin foil hats (if you don’t have one go buy one like John’s) because I think the aliens have found this blog and are not only blocking our post but have now started removing them!!!!!! Adam – have they taken you from the blue planet? Where are you? What’s going on? Help!

Avi–

It seems like you and a few others as well-

Betty- that was funny– the computer gettig wet! I used a magnifying glass to see if maybe the thread was too small to see to the visible eye-

LDG– Are you done with the daily posting tests? waaa!

A happy good Wednesday morning from rainy southwest Florida! (not complaing, we’ve had a drought this year)

My ‘puter must’ve gotten wet because I can’t find Tech Tuesday – oh well, stay safe all!

A few years ago when Tony confessed on air one day that he was a “news junkie’, I knew then that it was ok that I was one too!

I will miss you Tony Snow …

Thank you Susan………I was not trying to mean rude vto Mr. Snow’s memory. Just trying to keep this going a bit faster than a snail’s pace.

Would you believe the post was rejected on Greta’s blog.

Beats me.

Hope all are well and that Adam returns soon.

Montana

Adam,

Thank you for sharing the stories of your experiences with Tony Snow. You are a wonderful story teller and have managed to convey what a caring, genuine person Tony Snow was. Condolences to his, family, friends, colleagues and fans. He will be missed.

As an aside, I hope you have plans to someday write a book about your adventures and experiences. It would not be dull!

Adam,

Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with Tony Snow. You have confirmed what I have always suspected that he was a caring, compassionate, genuine human being. My condolences to his family, friends and colleagues. He will be missed.

As an aside, I think you are a wonderful story teller. I hope you have plans to someday write a book about your experiences.

my comments were obliterated…. ADAMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Hey Adam~

Great posting on Tony. I’m so glad to be linked to your blog. I’ve always been interested in your field reporting……..especially after you called that nut-job New York Councilman a S.O.B. on live television while reporting on the riots in Venezuela.

LOL— But Adam says he never said it! More LOL–

You were lucky Adam to have known him. I always thought of him as being bigger than life, and that despite everything he would be around for a long time. He was one classy gentleman and his warmth came through on screen … he will be missed.

I expect in the future the family will set up some type of foundation to donate to. I don’t know that to be a certain thing. But a family that I knew had such an outcry for people wanting to honor their son they set up a foundation scholarship to honor the wishes of people.

If Tony’s family wants to, it will be a way for people to contribute. Which is a nice way to remember those we loved so much.

So sad about Tony, he seemed like a genuinly wonderful guy. Fox New’s coverage has been wonderful.

Susan-

Yep, Bon Jovi rocks, they are right in the category of Journey, Foreigner, Aerosmith, among others legendary bands. Are you a fan of any of those too?

I didnt know they played a concert in NYC. Did you happen to travel over there and catch it? I bet you got front row seats, not to mention meet and greet passes.

Btw,did you see that All Star Home Run Derby? It was on earlier tonight, and Josh Hamilton was on fire, hitting 28 consecutive home runs in a row. I think he should have won the trophy. I guess he just go to tired during the final round.

Thanks for that Sharing Miracles tribute blog. Is it yours?

Becky-

Awesome poem. Thanks for sharing it. I am glad it helped you get through your grieving process. If you ever need any advice, just let me know, and i will try and help you anyway i can. Take Care.

Teresa-

You can send your tribute emails and videos to Bill OReilly’s show email address, because he said he would forward all of them to Tony’s family.

Another good way to pay your respects would be to make a youtube video. Just a suggestion.

Margaret-

FNC is glad to have another loyal viewer, and be sure to spread the word about the number one cable news network.

James-

Please show Tony Snow some respect, he was a very honorable man, just like Tim Russert. I only wish i had the opputunity to share his hand and have a talk with him. He always seemed really kind of sincere, a person where you could share you problems with.

Alot of the liberal bloggers are saying nasty stuff about him, some of it were even mentioned on Bill OReilly’s talking points bulletin. I am shocked that some people have absolutely no care for a human being who has passed away.

I am going to make this comment 100- so we get a second page– I found this to be very cool– Tony Snow–

http://www.sharingmiracles.com/cancer/tony-snow/

Hey Adam~

Great posting on Tony. I’m so glad to be linked to your blog. I’ve always been interested in your field reporting……..especially after you called that nut-job New York Councilman a S.O.B. on live television while reporting on the riots in Venezuela.

I’m sure Tony had a smile on his face, like I did when I saw your reaction to his outrageous support of Hugo Chavez.

Tony was a Genuine American Patriot and we miss him.

Thanks from Asheville, NC

I am so sad about the passing of Tony Snow…. I was always in awe of him …. It is difficult to say anymore… I will miss so much….

Thanks for this thread……

Dottie

I have not found any “public” opportunity to give Tony a tribute. There is a private funeral… it just seems unfair when he touched so many minds.
When Tony had his show on Fox, I would email with questions (political) and he would always answer. Over the years, Tony always answered. Sometimes with humor and always with respect and intelligence… I learned so much from him. As famous or popular he became… he always answered my emails. And, my emails were mainly political or sometimes about his health and I loved when he spoke about the band camp he enjoyed!!!!
I will miss him.

Is there going to be any public forum for us to pay him tribute? I really hope so… but, either way, I will have a mass said for hiim and will say a special rosary.

My prayers are with his family.

What a precious gift God gave us in Tony!!! He always made us feel so good, as he was such a fine example of husband, daddy and friend. I remember so vividly, back during the 2000 Florida Recount, how he anchored for hours and days. One day he told us how soon this would be over, as he had promised his little daughter, he would be done soon, so the family could choose their perfect Christmas tree. That to me was a public and loving expression of the love he had for his family. Indeed a wonderful inspiration, our Tony was!!!

Wow Becky–

I hadn’t heard that poem in years! Great one! and Hi! I think you are the same who maybe posted on Adam’s other blog-

Speaking of which— Wherefore art thou, Adam?

Brad– I mentioned Bon Jovi- love them too! Old but still like my rock n’ roll! They did a freebie concert in New York City– Central Park-”It was billed as a prelude to the July 15 All-Star baseball game, which will highlight the final season at Yankee Stadium.”

people were there for hours to get in! So I asked Avi if he went-

God’s blessings and my sympathy to all who knew Tony Snow and those like me (who felt like I knew him.)

This poem helped me a great deal when my mother passed away (and was in Hospice care.)
I hope it will comfort others also.

THE SHIP OF LIFE
by John T. Baker

Along the shore I spy a ship
As she sets out to sea;
She spreads her sails and sniffs the breeze
And slips away from me.

I watch her fading image shrink,
As she moves on and on,
Until at last she’s but a speck,
Then someone says, “She’s gone.”

Gone where? Gone only from our sight
And from our farewell cries;
That ship will somewhere reappear
To other eager eyes.

Beyond the dim horizon’s rim
Resound the welcome drums,
And while we’re crying, “There she goes!”
They’re shouting, “Here she comes!”

We’re built to cruise for but a while
Upon this trackless sea
Until one day we sail away
Into infinity.

Someone here mentioned about Bon Jovi-

I loved them, one of my all time favorite bands, if any of your guys check out the on the scene blogs, there is a entry about them.

Tony Snow was a wonderful, kind, gentleman. Appreciated so much for his honesty in jouralism and it was always GREAT to watch and hear what he had to say. He will be missed, but oh, to be in the arms of his loving Lord and Saviour. Praying for his wife and children. May God bless you and encourage through the next days and months to follow.

There just are no more words to express the sadness at Tony’s having passed to the next stage of Life. We are missing him but her has ventured to a much better place.

We always held a very high opinion of him but when he took the time to send a thank you for our having sent him prayers and best wishes at the beginning of his illness, we knew he was a genuinely wonderful person who lived the things he talked about at the end of the Weekend programs.

Adam, thank you for sharing your memories, too.

@LDG–

You are slacking– you missed your Sunday daily post!

Jen–

I thought about you when I heard Tony Snow was born in Kentucky and raised in Cincinatti- (reverse for you?)

Avi– did you check out the Bon Jovi concert in New York this week-end? Or were you gone?

“…and so our intrepid space hero transmitted ….

Only you could have been this creative! LOL

I did not discover the fox news channel until 1999 I think. Right before the election. The face of Tony was the face of Fox for me. I used to get a tear in my eye everytime he had the comments at the end of the Sunday show. Tony and Brit Hume have both been so dear to my heart. Like everyone says, we lost a great American and such a rising star. Tony will be waiting with open arms for that family of his one day and I know he finds peace and joy in the arms of a loving savior today.

Just another political hack just like Russert…

TONY SNOW WAS A VERY SPECIAL MAN, I DID NOT MET HIM BUT FELT THAT HE WAS A REGULAR GUY WITH MANY SPECIAL GIFTS . GOD BLESS HIM AND HIS FAMILY.

I watch Fox News most of the time. And I loved Tony Snow! I cried when I heard he had passed away. He convinced me he was honest, humble and a friendly man. I am glad he was a Christian. Thanks Tony for being the best in everything you did.

Im in miami after running around nYC…… had alot of fun … ill share some stories soon… im at my dads office now lol

“…and so our intrepid space hero transmitted another radio wave attempt to warn Earth of the impending peril of the Space Alien invasion, forlorn in the knowledge that his signal from beyond the orbit of Saturn could take an hour, or more to reach receivers in Earth’s orbit. An hour that the Alien Hyperships could have used to reach Earth. Indeed, Earth could already have been destroyed!”

–the Monday morning test post, writ a bit large for comic relief.

Adam – A beautifully written tribute! I always loved to watch Tony Snow as Press Secretary. He was very tactful and always had a quick and often funny reply to those who thought they could trip him up with something. lol
He will be missed!!! May the Lord bring comfort to his family and friends!

My deepest prayerful sympathies and condoleances to the entire family of Mr Tony Snow, as well as to Very Honorable President G.W. Bush, the White House, and all beautiful appreciative Americans and people across all party politics and walks of life.
Mr Tony Snow had great carisma and an encouraging humor even at trying times.
I was very saddened at hearing about his health, and had hoped to write after finding some good health advice that could make him strong again.
Now, the tireless spirit of his service and sense of tireless duty at difficult times will remain as a shining example.
It is never too late to gladden his Soul and Memory by doing good, encouraging or helping others.
Doing good on behalf of the departed not only makes the world a better place, but also gladdens the soul of the doers of good.
Praying that his Tony’s soul will grow in spirit of joy and confirmation in all the worlds hereafter. Sincerely, P. Shahir
May God bless and strengthen the wife, childen and loved ones and friends of Mr Tony Snow !

Susan-

No problem, i am glad i could be of assistance to you.

I totally agree, nobody knows the great courage and sacrifice these soliders are dealing with in a daily basis. God Bless to them.

I dont think BHO should even appear on Greta of Bill OReilly. He has been critical of FNC, according to what i read, so why give those liberal networks a chance.

I am very sorry to hear of Tony’s death. I enjoyed him greatly. What a wonderful man. I had not seen him until he was press secretary and I enjoyed watching him. Made sure I watched him every time he was on the TV. He was amazing. I thought you know if this guy ever runs for president he has my vote. His wisdom, intelligence, integrety and good humor made him one in a million. Glad to hear about what a wonderful man and father he was. Also enjoyed seeing his joy in music. He was truly a man for all seasons.
My condolences and prayers to his family and friends

Adam, Enjoyed your stories re: Tony Snow. Started watching Fox News when I succumbed to Direct TV and always felt I got a true and honest dialogue on an issue. Was heartsick when I heard he had died. However your letter was meaningful and comforting. I know his family will appreciate it. Sincerely, jvk

Montana–

I read your chicken post– it is funny~

@Jen –

I read the article– beautiful–

Dave-Vegas: I got you beat– almost 56 and the tears were coming as I read Jen’s link!

Brad-

those were nice comments you posted– Thanks for the comment about my father– I learned a lesson from his passing.

I am sure his wife and children are probably getting so many letters, emails, etc.

Bill O’ did a nice tribute to Tony Snow too.

My heart also goes out to the nine US soldiers who were just killed in Afghanistan by the Pakistan border.

(I have a very funny link which I am not posting here– it is going on the fire thread– Greta would love this as she has tried so many times to get Obama on her show– )

Adam your words here are spoken as a friend. Thanks for sharing this.

Here is a bit of an article written by Tony Snow in July of 2007——Amen!!

“I don’t know why I have cancer, and I don’t much care. It is what it is—a plain and indisputable fact. Yet even while staring into a mirror darkly, great and stunning truths begin to take shape. Our maladies define a central feature of our existence: We are fallen. We are imperfect. Our bodies give out.

But despite this—because of it—God offers the possibility of salvation and grace. We don’t know how the narrative of our lives will end, but we get to choose how to use the interval between now and the moment we meet our Creator face-to-face.”

God bless Tony Snow. He was a woderful person, who will be missed. I enjoyed him on fox News and radio. May god bless his wife and children. My heart and prayers go out to them. He will always be with you spiritually.

Ya know, Adam, I could send this comment to Fox but I wanted to keep it local. I never met the man, but you can tell the sincere person he was by the way he treated others. I loved the guy. I’ll come right out and say it, I’m a 51 yr old grown adult male and I can’t stop the tears for a person I feel like I’m related to. Why do bad things happen to good people? I wish I had the resources to do something positive for his family. This will take me a long time to get over.

Thank you for posting this. Such nice memories of Tony. Tony’s family and friends are in our prayers.

My heart has been heavy all day since learning of Tony Snow’s passing. My heartfelt sympathy goes to his family and his co-workers. What a loss for our country. His example has inspired me to be more positive, loving, and kind to all I meet.

He may be gone but never forgotten.

Susan and everyone-

Maybe we all should make a special tribute to Tony, and then send it to his widow and 3 children. I am sure they would appriciate it very much.

Thanks to everyone for sharing your stories and rememberence. You folks have been really fortunate and lucky to meet Tony Snow. It will be something you all will remember for the rest of your lives. I hope you you able to get pics and an autograph.

Susan-

I am terribily sorry for what happened to your father. I guess even thought the both of you were constantly at odds with each other, i am sure deep inside he loved you. You have to remember the good times you had with him.

And please dont hold any feelings of regret, hate or guilt towards your father. Life is way too short to harbor those kinds of feelings.

Take Care.

It’s nice seeing and reading all the wonderful things that are being said Tony Snow, he will be missed by many people. Thanks for sharing your memories!
