Today's Birthdays

J. Paul Getty, oil magnate (1892 - 1976)

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!

3/325th PIF took over a whole housing area when they were attatched to us that was in the process of being built for Saddams Generals. The houses were basically shells when we "aquired" them. Glad to see those guys with better living quarters this time around.

[txradioguy]

LOL! Sorry I've been absent lately. Been doing battle with a bunch of amateurs on a local forum.

These guys don't even rise to the rank of the dumbest DUmmie, but I've had fun playing with them.

Actually had one of them ask me if " if my tax dollars are paying your salary why are't you working?"

LOL!

No I haven't. I didn't know who the gal was.. I just knew the dude was you. I haven't muck Duckie or ELS- but I am certain, if they are friends of yours, the are grand ladies!! ( How is that for an answer?)

[Spotsy]

Results of actions fall far behind energy expended. It's hopeless.

For me - Actions fall far behind energy expended thinking about desired results. ;)

[txradioguy]

It's really getting funny. They remind me of some of the Trolls here.

I've been accused of being three people at once too.

LOL!

And the silence I get from them when I ask them for proof of their wild claims is deafening.

You'll have fun carving them up.

[Kathy in Alaska]

[Spotsy]

Need a caption for this one:
