[Soaring Feather]

For the freedom you enjoyed yesterday...
Thank the Veterans who served in The United States Armed Forces.

~May~ National Military
Appreciation Month~

We thank you, you who volunteer
To join the military to protect
what's here...
The Constitution, the Rule of law,
Our way of freedom loved by all
In this wondrous land of ours
Whose Stars and Stripes flow freely
O’er the land, whose seas are free,
Don’t tread on us... we are too, proud
To let you turn us into dust!

We appreciate your bravery, your valor,
Your honor, your gallantry,
Thank You for all you do.
And let Freedom ring the whole world through.

The price that's paid for freedom made
an entire family terribly sad.
A nation must know the price that's paid
of blood, of tears, of love,
greater than any made
a life for freedom paid.

May our gracious God touch the hearts
and ease their pain.
Their loved one did not die in vain...
A Hero walks tall in a lofty land
of peace and will be forever young,
In the Mansions of the Lord.

Amen

I don't know if many Canteeners have seen this image:

It's from yesterday after attacks in Iraq.

[acad1228]

Can't we just throw money at the problem? Certain other people often offer this solution.

[E.G.C.]

BTTT!!!!!!

[Soaring Feather]

Thank You, Tonkin for posting this all important link.

I sent an email supporting our troops.

In fact, you posted this yesterday!

[Darksheare]

I saw.
The little girl was fatally wounded.
That soldier's wife recognised him from the image.
There was a thread about it earlier.

[Darksheare]

No, may start an electrical fire in some cases.

[El Gran Salseron]

Yes, I saw your post on the other thread. I just didn't know how many other Canteeners had seen it.

[Darksheare]

Okers.

[Soaring Feather]

From email.

Talk about the beauty of God's creation!
You can just imagine His big paint brush splashing all these colors on the hills east of Tehachapi, California.
Apparently the abundance of rain there this spring has allowed the proliferation of these beautiful flowers. This is the major mountain pass from the central valley of CA into the Los Angeles basin.
It is truly a spectacular sight! Traffic really slows down as people drive through this normally colorless spot.

Damnit ~ dropped a 't'. ;);)

[Lady Jag]

It's more fun posting when the 't' is dropped.

Aries (March 21 - April 19)

In a daring intellectual coup, you will translate a collection of Zen koans from Chinese directly into Jive, in an attempt to combine the best elements of philosophical thought and emotion. You will title the collection "Yo Mama By The River."

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

Someone will ask you how you are, today, for the millionth time, and you know they actually couldn't care less. I've found that the best reply in this case is usually "Did you know that there's a spider on your neck?"

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)

Most people are aware that it's supposed to be good luck to toss a pinch of salt over your left shoulder. Today you will discover that it's even better luck to toss a carton of yogurt over your right shoulder.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

It will occur to you to wonder, what if Jesus had actually said "The geek shall inherit the earth", but was just misquoted? Then you'll think of Bill Gates. Then you'll start to worry.

Leo (July 23 - August 22)

Everyone you see will be "power walking" today. Ignore them -- they're just trying to get on your nerves.

Virgo (August 23 - September 22)

Good day to learn to play the tuba.

Libra (September 22 - October 22)

You've been complaining too much, lately. You might find more to enjoy in your life by watching a documentary about a lot of people starving to death in miserable third-world slums. I know that always cheers me right up!

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)

Today will be mostly OK, except that you'll learn to pay more attention in the future to the phrase "Careful, filling is hot!."

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)

Someone will tell you today "Boy, what a girl goes through to send her brother through proctology school." Despite being forwarned, you won't have anything to say.

Capricorn (December 22 - January 20)

A relative will be seriously injured today, when a man dressed as a huge shrimp abandons his post at the opening of a seafood restaurant, steals an experimental hovercraft, and crashes it into your relative's motor vehicle. The worst part is, the insurance company will refuse to pay a cent.

Aquarius (January 21 - February 18)

Everyone you work with will start spending a lot of time balancing things on their nose. This could be bad. You may have a renegade seal trainer lurking in your midst!

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)

At the same moment you read this, someone will be thinking about you and smiling. In a moment, they'll be laughing outright.

Gaaaah!
Someone jsut tossed salt in my eye!

And now I've been hit with yogurt!

Bill Gates is the Antichrist!!! *runs around flailing
arms like mad chicken*

[Lady Jag]

Who are following today that they think they need that much luck? Or are you missing over your shoulder and striking your other head?

I just want to be sure you're alright!!!

[blackie]

:):):)

[Lady Jag]

[Darksheare]

I am not Bill Gates.

[Darksheare]

I dunno, I can't see them anymore.
*eyes stinging.. must get eyedrops!*
