LOL!! That's a great one beachy!

[Valin]

You're confusing me with those that ACTUA;Y did something. All I did was walk around airplanes..try to keep a low profile...and stay out of trouble.
Two out of three ain't bad. :-)

But I thank you anyway.

After the video completely downloads and starts to play then click on Start/Search, look for all files and folders. Type in nut.wmv and click on Search Now. When Search finds the file then drag/drop to your desktop or the My Documents folder or whichever folder you choose.

If you're really computer savvy you can find it in the Temporary Internet Files folder and copy it to wherever you would like.

[beachn4fun]

Honey, I don't care what you did when you went in the military. Just the fact that you signed up and went during wartime, makes you one of my heros.

[Old Sarge]

Good Morning, Canteen FRiends!

Sarge is reporting back in, just for a bit, to let everyone know we're all right out here. Sarge will return with a Daily Report tomorrow, when there's time to post. But seeing as the Web service opened up again, Sarge thought it was a good idea to get a word out to y'all.

[StarCMC]

WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Looking good there Sarge!! You've been missed!!!!

[MozartLover]

Unfortunately I have to teach again today (and tomorrow) so I can't stay.:(

I have next week off and I am REALLY looking forward to it............no big plans....not going anywhere..........just puttering around the house and doing whatever I feel like doing.

Probably will have lunch with my older boychild, and daughter child, and Katie & I are going out for lunch on Thursday.

She got a very brief phone call from Evan Monday night; he was exhausted and they had a bad connection. But at least she got to hear his voice.:)

((((HUGS))))


thank you for letting us know whatz happening!

See you soon.

[El Gran Salseron]

For over 40 years now I have heard the people of Groton/New London crying their hearts out about wanting the submarine base to close.

Now that it looks like the base is definitely going to close guess who is crying.

They're pathetic.

[Old Sarge]

STAR!!!

Did you miss me?
