He’s on light duty since his left pinky finger was smashed with a sledgehammer at work. The day before that he was awarded a commendation and the “Silver Wrench Award.” The docs put a pin in the knuckle, and he’s currently in a cast.

Yes, thank God we still have the young people of character that choose to serve.

It’s been many years since I’ve worn the uniform, too.

[SandRat]

Always

Speaking of remembering our troops, I was just thinking of FReeper Tonguetied.

He was a great guy.
Glad to have met him.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Oh my goodness...cool info for Trivia games.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Funny.....I was cleaning out a drawer over the weekend and came across the coin he sent me. I miss him.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good for you....I keep trying to turn the thermostat down to 74 or so, but then my Mom says she is cold. For Christmas I gave her a blankie for her lap, but she wants the heat “up a notch”.

I did turn the downstairs down to 70, but she can’t go down there without me.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Wednesday is the day we cut checks...all corrections MUST be made NO LATER THAN 1PM. I am under the gun until then, and then for a couple hours after that.

Wednesday is intense....every Wednesday.

If I open all the windows, there is a nice cross breeze.

During the summer, I set the A/C to 82...and compared to the outside, it’s perfectly lovely! :-)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Ms Feather...*hugs*...and we have no snow.

Hopefully your gorebull warming will to go gore’s house next year.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Sending prayers for your successful surgery. ((HUGS)) EX is sure pleased with his. Are you doing one eye at a time? Some time between?

How far are you from home?

I am more ready each day.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Ex, for a really cool video. That’s the closest I get to a tiny space like that.((HUGS))

YIKES! looks like he’s putting a wing in the water.

[PROCON]

Right eye only, left eye is clear. It’s a 3 1/2 hour drive, so the VA is putting me and my escort up in a hotel 2 nights.
