Canteener Playlist: LUV W
 

What was the first song you remember hearing on the radio?
1.A song called "Sentimental Journey" by Doris Day that I would sing along with and made my Mom cry as she was taking my Dad back to the train station when he was going into the Army.


What was the first album/cassette/CD did you purchase?
2. The first album I bought was when I was a really little girl of Bozo the Clown--no music, but I loved the story.

How would you describe your musical preferences?
3. Rock and easy listening, some country--not "hard" country, some alternative--or whatever artists like Enya are listed under.

-------------------------------------------

LUV W is not only a proud supporter of our military, but also the proud mother of one of our brave heroes serving. As a matter of fact, he returned home last week. In addition to being a fantastic mother and wife, she also proudly entertains our Troops on a daily basis. She happens to make some very beautiful tables that she's been sharing with all of us. Thank you for your time, talents, and energy LUV W. We greatly appreciate it!!

What does the Canteen Music Dedication mean to you?
5. The Canteen Dedication is a chance for me to give a little entertainment to our troops who are so far away and who might get a chance to stop by the Canteen for a little R&R. It's a chance for me to do something for them because they do so much for me!

Canteener Playlist: EsmeraldaA

1.-The first song I remember (outside children programming?) is something from Bobby Darin(my older sisters loved the guy), I think it was *Splish Splash*.

2.-My first album was The Beatles *Please Please Me* It was a birthday present though.

3.-My preferences are very eclectic, From Classical to Hip Hop only skipping (ducking for rotten food here) Country music. [Drumbo is trying to change that, LOL]

Today's FEEBLE

YOKE :

Surgeons invited to dinner parties are often asked to carve the meat or worse yet, to watch the host carve while commenting on the surgeon's occupation.

At one party, a surgeon friend was watching the carving while Harry, his host, kept up a running commentary, "How am I doing, doc? How do you like that technique? I'd make a pretty good surgeon, don't you think?"

When the host finished and the slices of meat lay neatly on the serving platter, the surgeon spoke up, "Anybody can take them apart, Harry. Now let's see you put them back together again."

Religious History
590 St. Gregory the Great was consecrated the 64th Catholic pope, ruling 14 years. Gregory's administration took responsibility for converting the Anglo-Saxon tribes in England, chiefly through the work of St. Augustine of Canterbury.
1752 This date became September 14th, when Great Britain (including Scotland, Ireland, Wales and the American colonies) officially implemented the Gregorian Calendar (developed by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582 to replace the Julian calendar).
1776 Anglican clergyman and hymnwriter John Newton wrote in a letter: 'The love I bear Christ is but a faint and feeble spark, but it is an emanation from himself: He kindled it and he keeps it alive; and because it is his work, I trust many waters shall not quench it.'
1934 In London, Evangeline Cory Booth, 69, the seventh child of founder William Booth (1829-1912), became the fourth elected commander and the first woman general of the Salvation Army.
1946 Founder Sidney N. Correll established United World Mission. This interdenominational agency focuses on evangelism, church planting and Christian education in 13 world countries.

One reason to say yes to lap dancing..


LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - An angry San Diego topless dancer pulled out a knife and stabbed a customer after he refused a lap dance, police said on Thursday.

Lawanda Dixon, 24, was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon shortly after the altercation with 33-year-old Melik Jordan at the Dream Girls Cabaret early on Wednesday, San Diego police Det. Gary Hassen said.
"He was in the club with some friends watching the shows when she came up and asked if he wanted a lap dance," Hassen said. "He said no, she got upset about it, they argued back and forth. She pulled knife out of her bag and stabbed him."

Dixon was taken into custody and police found methamphetamine in a small metal container in Dixon's bag, Hassen said, adding that she may face drug charges. Officers also confiscated a small folding knife.

Jordan was treated for his injuries and released by a local hospital.
