Good night, everyone.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good night and rest well, ms feather...you’ve had a busy day. Thanks. *HUGS*

[Lady Jag]

Sleep well, Lairolator.

[NY Attitude]

Thank you, Thank you. LOL. Sometimes the blood needs a little motivation.

[NY Attitude]

Damn, in bed already? Rest well Soaring Feather.

[NY Attitude]

Reminds me of the song “Vehicle” by the “Ides of March”. LOL

[NY Attitude]

Hello, do you have “Rebel Rouser” by Duane Eddy?

[NY Attitude]

Thank you for the music. Unfortunately, the firewall was changed at work and I cannot listen to it as I once did. There is a great selection and variety of music. How long will the music be up?

A Soldier

There is discipline in A Soldier you can see it when he walks, There is honor in A Soldier you hear it when he talks. There is courage in A Soldier you can see it in his eyes, There is loyalty in A Soldier that he will not compromise. There is something in A Soldier that makes him stand apart, There is strength in A Soldier that beats from his heart. A Soldier isn't a title any man can be hired to do, A Soldier is the soul of that man buried deep inside of you. A Soldier's job isn't finished after an 8 hour day or a 40 hour week, A Soldier is always A Soldier even while he sleeps. A Soldier serves his country first and his life is left behind, A Soldier has to sacrifice what comes first in a civilian's mind. If you are civilian - I am saying this to you..... next time you see A Soldier remember what they do. A Soldier is the reason our land is 'Home of the free', A Soldier is the one that is brave protecting you and me. If you are A Soldier - I am saying this to you..... Thank God for EVERY SOLDIER Thank God for what YOU do! Angela Goodwin

You know you're living in 2008 when...

1. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave.

2. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.

3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 3.

4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.

5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don't have e-mail addresses.

6. You go home after a long day at work and you still answer the phone in a businesslike manner.

7. When you make phone calls from home, you accidentally dial 9 to get an outside line.

8. You've sat at the same desk for four years and worked for three different companies.

10. You learn that you've been laid off on the 10 o'clock news.

11. Your boss doesn't have the ability to do your job.

12. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home.

13. Every commercial on television has a website at the bottom of the screen.

14. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it.

15. You get up in the morning and go online before getting your coffee.

16. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. :)

17. You're reading this and are nodding and laughing.

18. Even worse, you can't remember if this has been posted before and who was pinged.

19. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list.

20. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't a #9 on this list and now you are laughing at yourself.

Eulogy for a Veteran
(Author Unknown)


Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the Gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the mornings hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight,
I am the soft stars that shine at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die.

[Soaring Feather]

Hello, NYA, sorry you can no longer listen at work. The music will be up over the long weekend.

[MEG33]

Amen..Wonderful, Lady J

I love this poem.

Soldier

It's good to feel pain, It lets me know I'm alive. Roll with the thunder, Know that I'll survive. March on I'm a soldier, No matter the war. Keep my head up I'm a soldier, I'm tough to the core. My fear is my weakness, Let my weakness be gone. I know I'm a soldier, I've been one all along. We are picking our battles, Fighting our wars. We hold the weight of the world, Our minds and bodies are sore. But push on I'm on a soldier, The stronger of some. A soldier of life, In an army of one. It's good to feel pain, It lets me know I'm alive. Take the jolt of lightning, Know that I'll survive. Lil Phoenix

[Soaring Feather]

I do, too. It tugs at our hearts.

[Soaring Feather]

Fun graphic, bless their hearts, our guys never forget to laugh.

[EverOnward]

In gratitude to those who gave so much. I thank God for the men and women in the military, past and present. May they be rewarded throughout all eternity.

[Soaring Feather]

AMEN!

[Soaring Feather]

I am looking for some Patriotic music, be back in a bit.
