Today's Birthdays

J. Paul Getty, oil magnate (1892 - 1976)
Don Johnson, actor (1949)

Thought for the Day "If reality wants to get in touch with me, it knows where I am." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Handy Latin Phrases
when describing our troops . . . in Latin:
suaviter in modo, fortiter in re
"gently in manner, strongly in deed"

On this Day in History 1944 General Dwight D. Eisenhower,
future President of the United States,
received his fifth star
Happy Bill of Rights Day!

Good luck! Believe none of what you see and about 10% of what you hear. Ask tough questions and watch the recruiter's body language.

Ah yes, recruiters. The military equivalent of a personal injury lawyer or used car salesman.

Sorry to those of you who did time recruiting...I had a bad experience. :)

[Old Sarge]

ARRRGH!! That's what happened!

The witty observations didn't stop for an hour or more.

To say NOTHING of the conversation with the First Sergeant...

[kemathen7]

Any suggestions on what kinds of questions to ask? I have an idea, but I would like some suggestions from experienced folks. I don't want to go in blind.

[reaganaut]

Not until he passes the bar exam. One more year. Then babies.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good job, Fiona......the kids needed a wake up/pick me up!! LOL!!

So, SSarge, does Dexter have a brother? Or is a new family coming on board?

[Old Sarge]

FEATHERS!!!

Happy to see me?

[trussell]

Happy Birthday Fawnn's Sister

 
 

[reaganaut]

DON'T EVEN JOKE ABOUT QUADS. Both of our mothers had fertility problems and multiple births run in our family a couple of generations back and so we are afriad that these two "problems" may merge.

Of course, if we do have quads we have names picked out:

Primus
Secundus
Tertius
Quartius
Quintus

Just stopped in to say "Hi" before we head over to our parents houses a couple of hours away.

[Soaring Feather]

LOL, what made you ask??

You have the best hugs, of course I'm happy to see you!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good morning darkwing....85 days, and the countdown continues.
