think we can cut a little slack during the holidays, TMan, doncha think?

But, I thought I did. I tried to point out Cal's grievous error in a kind and inconspicuous way so as not to draw attention to the fact that she came very close to single-handedly destroying this thread and causing shame to everyone who has ever visited The Finest. :-)

>>>C'mon, Cal - you are just covering up the fact you are so moved thinking of what our military members are going through during the holidays your eyes were filled with tears and could not SEE the Preview screen..:)) Just admit you are as sappy as the rest of us in this Finest Family.

I enjoy your explaination better Maggie! I will go with that one and leave out the real problem I had this morning.

***hides fact that TomKow over at the Canteen had me distracted with "Bubble Wrap Therapy for Blondes"***

[LadyX]

Hmmmm....wonder if TomKow's therapy comes with a set of special directions.

On second thought, forget that...the answer might be *censored*..:))

[Calpernia]

That was sweet Dubya. Thank you for posting that.

[Calpernia]

Oh Aqua! Thank you! That was wonderful gesture! That bitmap was handdrawn for me by an 18 y.o. girl in California.

Magnificant Military Monday hello to everyone!

Thanks Aqua for the thread!

I'm in the process this week of gathering some goodies to take to the National Guard unit headquartered on the edge of our neighborhood. They're getting ready to deploy first of the year for Iraq. It's a transportaion co.

Afternoon Molly.

Thanks for all your efforts in helping with the National Guard.

I wish the schools would do more programs like that.

Sorry about that, the season is hetic, and I am on the go. Sent the grandbaby's Christmas present off this morning, went to the cemetary and put flowers on Jeremy's grave, stopped at Wal-Mart to get the books and puzzle to stuff in the grandbaby's package. He's 2 this year.

Hi Deadhead, lovely graphic. Is the snow melting yet or did you have to drive in it today?

[Aquamarine]

Glad you like it. I tried making a sig gif out of your bird bath gif but couldn't get it to work since it's annimated. Always thought that should be your signature. When you posted the other graphic I took it over to Photo Deluxe and played around with it a little. Now you say someone drew that for you, guess that makes it special. I'll leave it in my storage site, it's yours to use. :)

Thanks Cal, I'm adding this site to My Favorites. Was needing a good source for Military pictures.

Hi Molly! I'm sure the National Guard unit will feel appreciated by your efforts. May God be with them when they go to Iraq the first of the year. They have my gratitude too!

[MEG33]

I loved your Christmas story,Dubya.

The girl was an older teen I met in a Yahoo Group. I became her virtual mom there for a little bit. When I use to have my web cam up and running, she made sketches for me and my children. She has since gone off to college. I uninstalled my web cam due to hacking issues.

Thanks. I downloaded it. I will replace my 'mecoffee.bmp' with this one :)
