Good Thursday to Everyone!

Tonkin and Men of the Canteen, thank you for the Dutch flower arrangement! I am descended from Hollanders, so I have a lot of wooden shoes (and a wooden head, some would say).

Beachy, I see lots of penalty flags on the field. LOL!

Lauren Marlowe, and all of our FRiends in the Lone Star State, I see that things are still very soggy in your neck of the woods.

To our Troops, our Veterans, and your Families, thank you for your service and sacrifice!

Have a great afternoon everyone.

[Soaring Feather]

Hi Spotsy! I hope you have a great afternoon!

[E.G.C.]

Good morning, Bentfeather.((HUGS))Back at 'ya..

We had a car/school bus accident near Cache on old highway 62 early this morning. There were a couple of fatalities but they were in the car. It was a major traffice headache for those who would normally travel between Cache and Lawton on that route.

We received a couple of rain yesterday. It's gone away for now but it's still cloudy. We may get sone snow here next week.

[Soaring Feather]

LOL!!

Now now, Valin, you know frivolous lawsuits are the bane of the nation.

This is my lawyer.

[beachn4fun]

Tom, I was gonna give you a wOOhOO for this bit of news (i.e., State Rep). However, it was negated due to your posting this:

[Arrowhead1952]

DO NOT DRIVE THROUGH FLOODED AREAS.

Those two ididots drove AROUND barricades. They should be nominated for Darwin Award Wannabees.

[tomkow6]

[beachn4fun]

Good afternoon Troops and Canteen!
MoJo is checking in to see how everyone is doing!

It looks like Queenie's got everything under control. WooHoo! Fabulous thread!


The FR Canteen and Proud Patriots "Operation Season's Greetings" has been a smashing success. I hope to have partial totals tonight of the donations counted. We were very Blessed to have donations from 34 States and 5 countries. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!

The Sailor and the rest of his command are busy trying to get the totals done. The second shipment left via transport this morning.

Just to give folks a heads up: We received a lot of books and they were really weighing down the boxes. Since everyone at the command felt comfortable our Troops had plenty of reading material, the rest of the books will be sent to the VA Hospital in Hampton. We hope no one will be offended by this, but we are allotted so much weight per boxes and after filling 35 boxes with books and magazines...it was a bit much.

So? For our Troops in Iraq, Africa, Afghanistan, Japan, South Korea, Bosnia, Germany, and Italy, boxes are on the way.

Thank you to all the Canteeners and FReepers who really made an impact this holiday season for our Troops. May God Bless You Abundantly!

*HUGS*

By the way, I spoke with Ma earlier. It seems they allowed her into Seattle without verification of whether she's ever eaten any Moose or whether or not she's really Canadian. Hehe!

Anyways, she's supposed to call me when she's in Los Angeles. Not sure when that will be.

Good Afternoon troops!! Good Afternoon everyone! Just got home from a half day at school. You know, that's been bugging me all day. Why do they insist on calling it a half day, if it's not half of a day? Our normal day is from about 7:30 to 2:00 (it's really 7:25 to 2:05, but the other numbers are easier to work with). That's 6 and a half hours. So half of that would be 3 and a quarter hours, right? But on what they call half days, we get out at 12:30. That's 5 hours of school. Not 3 and a quarter like it should be. So, they should either change the name to something like "earlier dismissal" (not early dismissal, because it's 5 hours of school which is not early), or they should just let us get out at 10:45. Can you guess which one I would rather have happen? Anyway, here is today's humor attempt!

Kids can sometimes ask the toughest questions.

Son: Father, Can I ask you a question?

Father: Ok ask.

Son: When a doctor doctors a doctor, does the doctor doing the doctoring doctor as the doctor being doctored wants to be doctored or does the doctor doing the doctoring doctor as he wants to doctor.

Father: !!!??????!!!
