Hi Ms. Feather, thanks for today's thread.
My prayer for themeless Thursday is for our Soldiers
to receive our prayers of thankfulness for their
service and sacrifice. Thank you, and God Bless our
Troops!
Another terrific job ms. feather.
Thanks for the thread. I loved Imogene Coca.
May I please send Happy Birthday wishes to my daddy who was born on the same day and year as our beloved Mickey!

TROOPS!
Today's FEEBLE
YOKE :
CONCERNED ABOUT TOO MANY CARBS IN YOUR DIET?
For those of you who watch what you eat, here's the final word on nutrition and health.
It's a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting medical studies.
1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
3. The Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
4. The Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
5. The Germans drink a lot of beers and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
CONCLUSION:
Eat and drink what you like.
Speaking English is apparently what kills you.

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: !!!??????!!!
