I am very thankful for your military every day nully. I joined a Texas based daily prayer site when the war started. Each day we get an update on who to pray for that day in the administration along with the President. My sis and BIL joined also. Back in WW11 this country had lots of good soldiers. MORE Canadians joined up in the Services in Canada at that time than were drafted in other Countries. Canadians actually were instrumental in taking the Day on the Beach of Normandy.!! How far we have fallen thanks to decades of Liberals and in particular THIS Prime Monster's reign.

Hi, Everyone,

We have been busy around these parts..Got out the ol paint brushes again...Yepper..been real busy. We took up the old worn wall to wall carpet on Monday..what a job...especially in the heat we had...and spent the better part of the evening and the next day getting all those little staples things out of the foam. Then we had to sand the floor..but not too much because I did a really good job when we built the house 15 years ago. Then on Wed we started to paint. Mind you we have vaulted ceilings too. We painted the room a Crabapple cream...not what it sounds like...remember our gossamer pink for the outside? well it is kind of like that.. it has just a hint of blush in it. It really makes the new ceiling fan stand out ( the fan is white with fancy gold trim). That took two days to do. And today Ozzie started to put down the parquet floor..That is a real task. We did this when we built the house ( the living and dining room have oriental carpets. WE now have one in the family room so it will look , as my dad would say, "Real Doggy"! Once we get that done, we have to stay off the floor for 72 hours..how I will get to my computer I don't know.....but once that is done..we will go into the ajoining foyer and down the hall with the painting. I want some new flooing in the hall way too as that carpet is worn and drab now but we can't agree on what should go there...I think Parquet and he says carpet...so we shall see what works the best. The master bedroom needs new carpet and that is a major project moving all that rosewood furniture which weighs a ton. Missie is all involved with this project too, You should see her..looking at everything.. Normally she thinks our routine is so hohum she sleeps through it. But not this..this is great fun for her. She wanted to help paint but after a little paint on the tip of the tail...well....and Taco is a slouch..just lays in the sun and watches....some help ! Tis late and got to get the work in the kitchen done while I can still get to it without having to go around the house... Try to visit tomorrow. Westy..great pictures...

At least he didn't linger on into old, old age and wear out....It's`not fun....

He died in a convelescent center recovering from a broken shoulder suffered in a drunken fall. Though he was only 66, he was so decimated by alcoholism that his 90 yr old roommate at the center nicknamed him Methuselah. A big healthy Norwegian, he destroyed himself during his career at the Olympia Brewery after the war.

[westmex]

Well, Val I've said a number of times it would have been better if a lot of us had died young during the wars....Just my opinion....

[lodwick]

Remodeling condolences...good luck with it all.

Cheers everyone. Off to Lake Dallas for a family get together.

Absolutely shocking revelations about Coach Bliss at Baylor

Bliss indicated that Thomas' loyalty stemmed from the fact that Baylor coaches publicly said they knew nothing about the player's alleged threats when the matter was raised by Dennehy's friends and family.
"Harvey will do anything," Bliss told Rouse. "And the reason is because we did it for Harvey."
After Rouse responded by saying, "I'm with you," Bliss added: "You know, I mean, we stuck up for ... That's why we're in this jam, we stuck up for Harvey. I said there were no threats, and all these people got ticked at me."

[Sundog]

Got them, and bookmarked. Thanks very much.

Work is well underway to give you a potion to drink and you will live to be 600 years old.

No thanks..I don't fit in this world, let alone one 500+ yearrs down the pike...

Val, we don't know the burden Dewey might have picked up during the war. That generation didn't go whining to the shrinks, they took care of it themselves as best they could. So don't condemn him till you have walked in his shoes......

Resonance cascade is a semi-fictitious happenstance in the game Half-Life that causes a rift between worlds.
It's like a domino effect, but somewhat like having things synchronised and in sequence.
The quote is from the game, right after you(playing as Gordon Freeman) accidentally help crate the resonance cascade.
But.. the power going out...
