Serving The Bestest Troops and Veterans In The World !! | The Canteen Crew

I just had a laugh. I’ve switched over to SyFy for “Face Off” which is where make-up artists compete each week doing different make-ups you’d see in movies and such. Tonight, they have to come up with disguises for someone going undercover and such. And the guest judge is someone who works on “The Walking Dead”.
A fun show and it’s interesting to see the different ways they do this type of make-up. Some of the young folks come up with some cool creations.

Wish I had all that stuff on hand to use for Halloween!

I like even older horror movies . . . the stuff I grew up on. Edgar Allen Poe movies starring either Ray Miland or Vincent Price, “The Mummy” with Boris Karloff, and ANY vampire movies. Vampires have always fascinated me. My screen name is the name of my favorite one.

[radu]

Well there you are!
Must have been having a large time with the girls.

[luvie]

It has been a good time today! We played and giggled and then they went to the Y and I took a nice nap to recharge. LOL!

I will be going home in the morning. Waaaaaah! I imagine that my kids are ready for some normalcy after having me here. :)

I dread the drive and the fact that I have to work day after tomorrow. Ugh!

[radu]

Darn that the visit is almost over already. It sounds like y’all have had a blast this week.

At least the weather should be good for the long drive home. Sure wouldn’t have been fun driving through that system that roared across the country the past couple of days!

[luvie]

Thank goodness, yes, tomorrow is supposed to be a pretty day for driving.

[ConorMacNessa]

I don't know why we still have the same problems on these highly advanced machines as we did when we were working on 386's!

I've been in word the last 40 minutes or so writing down my wedding toast. I have one window open on the Canteen and a couple on Word, which shouldn't take much memory. Yet Word keeps going NR on me!

OY!!

and aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy."

[radu]

Nice weather makes a long drive MUCH easier to deal with.

[luvie]

Sure does. I still dread it though. LOL!

[radu]

I feel for ya. I hate long drives. Seeing all the scenery along the way is great, but fanny fatigue hits far too soon. LOL!

[PROCON]

All right my favorite female sneakers, good night!

LUV, safe journey home and radu, you need to go to bed girl, its nearly midnight, you night owl!

[radu]

Go to bed? Before midnight? This is PRIME TIME for ‘vampires’. LOL! I go to bed with the sunrise.

Good night, PRO. Sleep well. See ya tomorrow.

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS AND OUR BELOVED NATION!

Must retire for the evening ~

"Where shall I hide my forehead and my eyes?
For now I see the true old times are dead,
When every morning brought a noble chance,
And every chance brought out a noble knight."

The Bugler, his grim visage replete with an evil sneer,
already mounts the parapet.

Good night, God bless you, and God bless the United States of America!

Godspeed our Troops around the Globe – especially those in harm’s way – by virtue of their service and sacrifice we continue to live in Freedom!

[Kathy in Alaska]

What a pain!! It is so annoying trying to do stuff when you know you have plenty of memory to handle all.

[radu]

Good night and sleep well.
Easier said than done with all the excitement ahead, I’d say. :-)

[Kathy in Alaska]

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!

God Bless you good, Mac. *HUGS* Good night and rest well.
Thanks for helping honor our troops, past and present.
Thank you for your service to our country.

Great, 4 flights of stairs to walk down in an emergency. *sigh*

Nah, just toss a rope over the railing and rappel down to the skating rink! Or, is the skating rink on the 4th floor, too? In that case, I've not much to offer in the way of help...

[radu]

Hey you! What you doin’ up this time of night?
*HUGZ*

[HiJinx]

Just readin’ stuff, and working on taxes.
I downloaded my Turbo Tax this evening. One thing led to another, and now I’m almost done. Looks like I may have enough of a refund to get a cup of coffee at Starbucks...were I the sort to do that sort of thing.

[HiJinx]

Keeping track of the post numbers?

[HiJinx]

Are we there yet?
