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!

Oh man...that wasn't fair!! My mom is taking us out for dinner tonight...I'm going to have to ask if we can go to a restaraunt that serves that!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

I have a lunchtime meeting that I must attend today, 4 hours from now. Boring! At least they said there would be goodies to eat. Today I at least will be able to come play at break. Happy lunch.

[trussell]

That doesn't sound like the "Afternoon delight" that I am use to!! Though I did enjoy it!

[Old Sarge]

Yep, Dexter the Dell has a REALLY BIG brother, now.

Dexter will become the property of one of my troops, who has no laptop - nice lil' Xmas present, eh?

I am so looking forward to seeing the new baby - Bro tells me, it even surpassed what HE wanted to do!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good morning, Angel Boy! Wanna pancake? Good morning, Patriotic Pattie!

[reaganaut]

I suppose you are going to tell me this one plays for the other side too?

[uncleshag]

trussel,

Looking for the
"Skyrockets in flight,
afternoon delight"?

So was I!

[Kathy in Alaska]

We will, of course, expect a full and complete report re big brothers attributes. Have you prepared Dexter for the transition? Does he now he'll be living with a new master? And does Fiona know????????

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thank you, Medal of Honor Recipients, for your sacrifices for your fellow Sailors and Soldiers.

Seaman Ouellet and Sgt Patterson

Reporting Live from the Haunted Armory, it's Day 16 of Sarge's Most Excellent Adventure!

Well, you're just having too much fun. :-)

You're counting up....I'm counting down. T-minus 5 days and counting.

WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!

[Old Sarge]

I still haven't cleaned up Dexter, yet. I don't know what all the new owner wants to keep - she's one of my best troops, but she's a computer virgin, and it's her first laptop ever. But she borrowed Dexter heavily on the last deployment, and she's hooked.

As for Fiona....

Who KNOWS where she'll strike next?

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

"I'm talking to the AF recruiter today. Wish me luck."

You got it!

I'm sure you'd be a credit to the Air Force.

The Air Force will be a better place with a conservative woman like you.

[Diva Betsy Ross]

T!!!! I musta got a link crossed someplace! LOL! That is not the song Afternoon Delight is it???Well I am new at this playin tunes stuff.. and Mojo isn't around to hold my hand.... Heeheee.. Yeah that's it.. that's the ticket!!( ITs Mojo's fault!!)

[Valin]

Notice No "On this Day In History" tomorrow or Fri. as there are going to be workmen in my place putting in new windows.

In DEC.! words cannot express just how thrilled I am at this.

[Diva Betsy Ross]

Good luck and Thank you K! God bless you for your efforts - and for your anticipated service in the United States Air Force.
