Wow! Now that’s a good one! :)
Man! You always toddle off when we’re just getting started! :)
I got some help yesterday afternoon, and we talked today and she wants to take over a couple of my units. And she wants to learn one of the hard ones.
And we cornered another boss and vented. Hope we made our point this week. We will see.
Well, that sounds omnious.....
I pray you ARE ok, MY!
Oh no....did the detectives find and return your chair?
Help? YAY!! It would be great for you not having such a big load to deal with. I hope she’s a fast learner.
So another boss got it today, huh? They’re all going to start hiding Mon. through Wed. so y’all can’t corner them any more. LOL!
Hope the two venting sessions this week do some good.
Some people just aren’t creatures of the night like others of us. hee!
Good evening/morning, ML...((HUGS))...have a wonderful visit with your sister.
Did you do Tuesday Pub Night?
Thank you Kathy for reminding us why we are here.
Very true! And it’s two/three hours earlier where he is. He’s a REAL Early Bird, I guess!
:)
Nite, PRO!
Some are born early birds and some are born night owls.
Sure would be a boring world if everyone was the same, wouldn’t it? hee!
((HUGS))Good morning, Ladies. Signing on early as we have storms approaching from the West. How's it going?

Evan Marshall’s triumphant return to the Dbacks pitcher’s mound
Just a little over eight months ago, on August 4, 2015, Allie Marshall stood in a Reno hospital and stared
down at her husband, Arizona Diamondback’s pitcher Evan Marshall. Evan had sustained a skull frac-
ture from a 105-mile-per-hour line drive that hit him in the head while pitching for the Reno Aces, the
Diamondback’s Triple-A affiliate, in El Paso.
The skull fracture had caused Evan’s brain to swell, and now a tube drained blood from his head. He had
just come out of the emergency surgery performed to release the swelling in his brain. He wore a neck
brace and 18 staples marched up his head in a wavy line. Tubes and
wires snaked from his body to the hospital equipment that beeped
and hummed around his bed.
“One of the first things he said to me when he woke up was, ‘I still
think I can be a September call up,’” Allie Marshall said, recalling
the moment in a video the couple made for the Brain Injury Alliance
of Arizona after Evan’s months-long recovery.
Allie was in awe of her husband’s strength and determination,
Howdy, EGC! (((hugs)))
All is well here. No storms but it is cooler, which is a blessing after the high 90s from yesterday!
I guess I’m not ready for summer! LOL! Hope you and Bo get to the lake today! No more brambles [or ants!], ok? ;)
Geronimo which is South of Lawton took the brunt of the storms last night. Quite a bit of hail and wind damage. Also power is out in the area.
The Mesonet site at Walters reported 75 MPH wind gust from the storms last night.
Thankfully the storms calmed down before they reached our location.
UNDERSTAND THE WIND ISUE, WE HAD 51MPH GUSTS 2 NIGHTS AGO.
Yikes! 75 mph! That’s a small hurricane! Glad it didn’t reach your area!
Rules for kickin’ Ass!
Dear FReepers, ‘We know that the current state of affairs in our great Nation has many civilians up in arms and excited to join the military.
For those of you who can’t join, you can still lend a hand. Here are a few of the areas where we would like your assistance:
1. The next time you see any adults talking (or wearing a hat) during the playing of the National Anthem - kick their ass.
2. When you witness, firsthand, someone burning the American Flag in protest, kick their ass.
3. Regardless of the rank they held while they served, pay the highest amount of respect to all veterans. If you see anyone doing otherwise, quietly pull them aside and explain how these veterans fought for the very freedom they bask in every second. Enlighten them on the many sacrifices these veterans made to make this Nation great. Then hold them down while a disabled veteran kicks their ass.
4. If you were never in the military, DO NOT pretend that you were.
Wearing battle dress uniforms (BDUs) or Jungle Fatigues, telling
others that you used to be ‘Special Forces’. Collecting GI Joe
memorabilia, might have been okay when you were seven Years old, now, it will only make you look stupid and get your ass kicked.
5. Next time you come across an *Air Force* member, do not ask them, ‘Do you fly a jet?’ Not everyone in the Air Force is a pilot. Such ignorance deserves an ass-kicking... (children are exempt).
6. If you witness someone calling the *US Coast Guard* ‘non-military’, inform them of their mistake - and kick their ass.
7. Next time Old Glory (the US flag) prances by during a parade, get on your damn feet and pay homage to her by placing your hand over your heart.
Quietly thank the military member or veteran lucky enough to be carrying her of course, failure to do either of those could earn you a severe ass-kicking.
8. Don’t try to discuss politics with a military member or veteran.
We are Americans, and we all bleed the same, regardless of our party affiliation. Our Chain of Command is to include our Commander-In-Chief (CinC). The President (for those who didn’t know) is our CinC regardless of political party. We have no inside track on what happens inside those big important buildings where all those representatives meet. All we know is that when those civilian representatives screw up the situation, they call upon the Military to go straighten it out. If you keep asking us the same stupid questions repeatedly, you will get your ass kicked.
9. ‘Your mama wears combat boots’ never made sense to me - stop saying it!
If she did, she would most likely be a vet and therefore would kick your ass!
10. Bin Laden and the Taliban are not Communists, so stop saying ‘Let’s go kill those Commies!’ And stop asking us where he is!
Crystal balls are not standard issue in the military. That reminds me
- if you see anyone calling those damn psychic phone numbers, let me know, so I can go kick their ass!
11. ‘Flyboy’ (*Air Force*), ‘Jarhead’ (*Marines*), ‘Grunt’ (*Army*), ‘Squid’
(*Navy*), ‘Puddle Jumpers’ (*Coast Guard*), etc., are terms of endearment we use describing each other. Unless you are a service member or vet, you have not earned the right to use them. Using them could get your ass kicked.
12. Last, but not least, whether or not you become a member of the military, support our troops and their families. Every Thanksgiving and religious holiday that you enjoy with family and friends, please remember that there are literally thousands of soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen far from home wishing they could be with their families. Thank God for our military And the sacrifices they make every day. Without them, our Country would get it’s ass kicked.
‘It’s the Veteran, not the reporter, who has given us the freedom of the press.’
‘It’s the Veteran, not the poet, who has given us the freedom of speech.’
‘It’s the Veteran, not the community organizer, who gives us the freedom to demonstrate.’
‘It’s the Military who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag.’
WE LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE, ONLY BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE!
IN GOD WE TRUST.
SO IF YOU NEED TO KICK SOME ASS, DON’T HESITATE TO DO IT!
