Now don't tell me the kids in your family don't learn any cute little odd things???

Nope, but they are now!

[mylife]

I liked the Ameriquest one L0L

[TASMANIANRED]

We need to send Busch e-mails before the DU crowd starts whining.

[txradioguy]

We don't get the commercials over here! :(

[Bethbg79]

I haven't been to the airport since I was 12..LOL BUT I always Thank anyone I meet that has been or is in the Military. I get the biggest smiles from the toughest guys...It's Classic.

[Bethbg79]

Yes it was!

[Bethbg79]

Hi there! How are ya?

[mylife]

Last Guy I thanked was with his Dad.

The Dad was really touched

[TASMANIANRED]

Had a bunch of GI's walking through what looked an airport terminal in slow mo. People in the terminal started turning and clapping.

At the end there was just a simple :Thank You.

[txradioguy]

Good Bethy. Wish the game was going a little better though. How are you?

[Bethbg79]

Oh I can imagine.

I would be absolutely satisfied with my son' life choices if he joined the Military. And oh so proud! LOL

[mylife]

This cialis commercial is lame, Neil Boortz has some ideas...he calles it "corking the bat" L0L

[Bethbg79]

I'm doing really good, thank you.

Just trying to get my life in order these past few months. I'm in charge of my destiny! LOL

[HiJinx]

I just missed the bloody (I assume) cat...

The other one was good...this is a hold-up!

[Bethbg79]

I missed that one!

Corking the bat! Bwahahahahaha!

[txradioguy]

That happened to me and a bunch of the guys in the D/FW airport last December when I came home on R&R.

Believe it or not even I got to thank some soldiers for doing what they did. Over in Abilene, KS this year a bunch of the guys portrayed in the book "Band of Brothers" were there and I thanked them for what they did.

[Brad’s Gramma]

It's such a special feeling to express gratitude to such fine men and women.

It's a high. For me at least..LOL

[Bethbg79]

Gramma!

[HiJinx]

I get the biggest smiles from the toughest guys...It's Classic.

It pays to be young and cute!

Seriously, we always just thought of it as a job...everything took on a new meaning after 9/11, and I suspect a lot of the tough ones still haven't gotten used to it.

Back to the game...until Piper comes back into the computer room!
