Pink said to me recently, we've come a long way. So that set me reminiscing...
Who among us can forget that day in January when Girlene asked to be added to the Haditha Marine Ping List?
Or when lilycicero wondered what "ping" and "BTTT" meant (but hoped they were crude)?
Or when pinkpanther111 showed up and helped us find biographical material, or when she spread the word about the defense fund here and here?
All that got me thinking about some of our "firsts".
Like the first defense fund thread.
And the first posts by Darryl, Theresa (on our totally fun "A Haditha Marine Father Has a Question for Alan Colmes" thread), and Mrs W.
So I agree with pink (want to see her first post ever?), we have come a long way. And it's about time we said so! Also, with the SSgt Wuterich hearing coming up, I figured we could use a thread to just hang out when nothing else is happening. It beats FRmail--which sometimes gets a little hard to follow.
So here's to us and to seeing an end to this job we started!
You must be tired.
Teehee! Fooled you! I understood. You were making heinie jokes.
I wasn’t making jokes about gun sights???? Did you mean
hiney?
Is that the Maine Coon?
Yes, indeedy. And I love him.
Do you find him pleasing?
Yes...he looks like a good friend. I am glad he has his own chair and duvet.
Actually, he had a chair and a couch of his own. They were getting so old that the missus and I finally had to buy him a new couch and ottoman. It took a morning of hurt stares and much meowing before he took to them both. Now it’s like he never slept anywhere else.
Tell me you didn’t declaw him???
Of course not!!!
As Kinky Friedman says, “There’s a special place in hell for people who declaw cats.”
Whew...ok...we agree on kitten feet.
We’re sorry, the person you have reached is in bed and asleep. Try again later.
I am always the last to know and the first to tell.
But you’re always first in our hearts.
Frank said they went "north on River Road, west on Route Chestnut".
Pardon the wonky line, but that means their route looked like this, correct?
That makes sense to me. What an adorable kitty cat. How’d I miss that ping?
I was going to ping you again but didn’t want to seem pushy about my cat.
