AMERICA - The Right Way!! (Day 557) [Remember the Trade Center!!]
Various News Sources and FReepers | July 31, 2002 | All of Us

Posted on 07/31/2002 3:58:13 AM PDT by Chairman_December_19th_Society

We will not tire, we will not falter and we will not fail! [President Bush]

Good Morning!! Do not let the victims of the attacks on New York and Washington, nor the brave members of our Nation's military who have given their lives to protect our freedom, die in vain!!

Senator LIEberman, apparently the best the people of the State of Connecticut could send to Congress, said he would call former Treasury Secretary Rubin to testify before his Committee, "if he could shed light on the Enron collapse."

Meanwhile, the Justice Department has opened a probe into the accounting practices of AOL.

For accepting gifts from a businessman he then assisted, Senator Torricelli was "severely admonished." For those not familiar with the process, that means the Torch was told he was a very bad boy and shouldn't do that again.

Secretary Rumsfeld says airstrikes alone will not get the job done as far as removing Iraqi WMDs are concerned. He said that because of spys providing information to the Russians (he didn't mention by name, but Hansen comes to mind) that was then passed to other nations for a fee, the Iraqis now know how we look for things and can hide their activities all the better.

Other US officials promised Congress there would be no "October Surprise," saying it would take until early next year to finish preparations for war against Iraq.

For AMERICA - The Right Way, I remain yours in the Cause, the Chairman.

Hi there. I'm back from class. My feet are killing me. I have sat down exactly twice (not counting driving) since I left FR today. I need new feet, you just got yours worked on (tuned up, whatever), can I borrow them? ;>)

I wouldn't want him around the latrines. We try to keep those sanitary. He can stay outside.

Get those feet up in the air. Trust me on this one. "Propping" really does work.

Of course, a little ibuprofen doesn't hurt, either.:)

Is despoil the same as unspoil? That is one of those english words I really hate because it kicks in my programmer's sense of spoil(negate). Granted, it's a valid word, and it means exactly what you intended in the context you used it, but it looks like it shouldn't. < /rigid world view rant> grin!

I don't have ibuprofane(lol) but I do have asprin. It's mostly my toes and knees that are suffering. The boots are ok for walking and sitting, but I'm going to get blisters and calluses (callusi?) from standing.

I'm thinking about excising the (very comfortable) insole out of my expensive running shoes and using them for inserts in the 80 lb combat boots. Granted, it would ruin the shoes, but Trill can buy me more later. ;>)

What about ice packs on them, John?

What do you think, Mozie?

It helps with swelling (which I'm sure you have even if it doesn't really show up) ..... and would just have to feel good in this hot weather. Just be careful not to get "freezer burn."

And though I always have a hard time convincing hubby of this, there is a lot to be said for just rubbing some kind of hand/body cream or lotion on them ..... one of those little tricks us women know that men don't want to think about or do.

Well for heaven's sake take a couple aspirin. And get yourself some of that bandage-tape stuff to use on the areas most likely to blister. A little preventative action goes a long way.

I'm sure if you just explain that the boots are not comfy, they'll let ya wear your running shoes, n'est-ce pas???? ;^)

That work for you?

What you originally posted was correct usage and a valid english word that meant exactly what you intended. Not to mention adding the pejorative "spoil", which works so well with X42.

Twas no fault with the word. Just my neurotic tendencies kicking in after a long day. GRIN!

You are right. All of the really appropriate words I never say in mixed company.

But I'm breaking down a bit. How hard is it to remember to walk on the RIGHT side of a hallway? The training facility is mixed AF and Navy. I will not disparage another branch, but I'm glad I'm AF.

The Navy pukes don't like being corrected by AF NCOs. Too bad. I've taken to leaving my teeth out, and I've spread a rumor about why I'm 40 and still only an E-4 (and only have part of my teeth). I may not be tall, but the brats with an attitude have not pushed it too much.
