[christine]

[christine]

this was taken yesterday. haven't shown yall my babies in a while and jolie is rarely in sight. thought they were so adorable lying next to each other. ;)

[Kathleen]

Oh I don't know about that Loddy, I am notoriously camera-shy.... ;)

[palo verde]

hi andysmom
your post brings back memories
yes that is xactly what the sprinkling bottle looked like
it was before steam irons
she used to lick her finger and touch the iron, if it sizzled it was hot enuf to iron

it must be hard on wimmin in the military that they can't wear the colors they feel like wearin' that day
I like green, but what if I wanted to wear pink or rose, and blue or violet
Love, Palo

[Kathleen]

Thanks for pinging me to the political threads, Sweetie.

These days I'm wearing duct tape around my head, underneath my colander so my head doesn't explode with all these Bubba stories in the news lately....

[palo verde]

hi chrissie
is the cat calico, I used to have one which looked xactly like yours
but it didn't have such a fluffy tail
it's a wonderful pic
Love, Palo

[lodwick]

;-) So was I 'till Christine came around.

[palo verde]

hi cookie
I appreciate it that you're keeping your eyes open
I figure most of the bubba stories are for purpose of distraction
(like bout him maybe hosting tv show)
I dedicated my whole life to saving country from him once
doesn't make sense we'd have to do it twice :)
it's hard not to be vigilant tho
I'll slack off if you're on the job :) :)
Love, Palo

Yes toots..10 1/2 long years...don't be too impressed tho...I didn't stay in because my Mouth and the Army didn't get along too well...LOL. But don't tell Habs that..it might shock him into palpatations or something.

[andysandmikesmom]

Yes, now I remember also, that my mom would tap the iron with her finger, to see if it was hot enough...sure am glad those days are gone, when we had to iron everything, and then even without a steam iron....Ironing was an old day chore...

About women in the military and their various modes of dress....when my son was in the hospital, he was in a total of 8 months out of the 15 months he had leukemia...so we got to see so many army nurses and doctors and technicians...

Now the army nurses, who were working in the hospital, always wore their 'whites'...Occasionally tho, we would see them in their BDUs, like when they had to qualify in their PT(Physical Training) tests and the like...we were so used to seeing them in their medical whites, that seeing them in their army uniforms and boots was quite shocking....

More shocking, was sometimes they would come up and visit my son on their days off duty(He was in the hospital so much, that often they thought of him as more than just a patient, they thought of him as a sick boy, whom they loved)....and on their days off duty, they were be with my son, wearing their civilian clothes, having on more makeup, and having different hairdos, than they woudl have on duty....

Sometimes for a split second, I would not recognize a nurse, because I was so used to seeing her in her medical whites, hair pulled back, no makeup...and then on their days off, they would be in colorful clothing, new fancy hairdos, and lots of makeup...

Sure made a lot of difference...

[palo verde]

maybe chrissie can take pic of your office, Kathleen
she took one of loddy's office and posted it
(loddy claimed he had messiest office on the net, but it did not compare to mine)
also if you have pets
we'd love to see them
if you have tree in your yard, she can take pic of that
I've been on desert so long, I forgot what trees look like
(and I love trees)
back on lower east side, I had ailantha (sp?) tree out my window
(those are the weed trees which are against the law in most States)
but I loved my ailanta tree
Love, Palo

[Neets]

OMG MOm!! I remember those sprinkling tops!! In fact I think there is one in the junk drawere in the kitchen..I should save it to be an antique one day right???

[christine]

yes, i can be very persuasive! ;)

[andysandmikesmom]

I bet it would be an antique...and kids today, would look at it and wonder what in the world it was used for, and when we would tell them, they would just roll their eyes, and wonder why in the world we sometimes think we grew up in 'the good old days'...and I can still picture the old iron we used...just black and grey...not like the new fancy irons that we have nowdays...

[christine]

she is a maine coon cat. coloring is mackerel tabby on top with white tummy, face, and paws. isn't that tail of hers exquisite? ;)

[Neets]

Isn't it funny to remember that kinda stuff?? I remember the last time I went to the store and bought Jiffy Pop....talk about looking at someone like Cyborg....that was a concept they JUST could not grasp...LOL..cooking pop corn on the stove...LOL.
