Main Topic:

What are your predictions for 2006?

Examples follow below:

1. The Cubs will win the World Series and tomkow will be forced to take a bath. (*snicker*)

2. Reggie Bush, of USC, will become the second most popular Bush in the state of Texas.

3. Our Troops will continue to get the job done at home and abroad.

4. Congress will yet again give themselves a raise. Just goes to show that creating a lot of hot air will eventually pay off.

5. MoJo will still hate eating tofu.

6. hotstreak will still hate eating cheese.

7. Outside of winning the World Cup, most Americans will still ignore soccer as a whole.

See how this works?

Rules:

1. No politics!

2. Keep it funny, but remember this is a family site.

3. Graphics and pictures are great to share.
 

Before we leave you, The FReeper Canteen, Mr.Tonkin, and MoJo would like to thank Spotsy for doing the Pancakes on Wednesday when someone was needed to fill in. She did a fabulous job. Despite having limited time, she made sure that our Troops had a thread every Wednesday. Thank you Spotsy! Don't stay gone too long!!

Have at it folks!!

Hey darks,


If you crossed your eyes would you get the same effect?

[TASMANIANRED]

Jinxy, I was only counting the things that were black and blue or else bleeding.

I really need a back transplant.

[TASMANIANRED]

I had the extra fun of having 2 dogs wanting to unhelp me while I worked.

They look very nice.

Hi Sandy.

How are you this afternoon?

Thank You to our Veterans

The elderly parking lot attendant wasn't in a good mood! Neither was Sam Bierstock. It was around 1 a.m., and Bierstock, a Delray Beach, FL eye doctor, business consultant, corporate speaker and musician, was bone tired after appearing at an event. He pulled up in his car, and the parking attendant began to speak. "I took two bullets for this country and look what I'm doing," he said bitterly.

At first, Bierstock didn't know what to say to the World War II veteran. But he rolled down his window and told the man, "Really, from the bottom of my heart, I want to thank you."

Then the old soldier began to cry.

"That really got to me," Bierstock says.

Cut to today. Bierstock, 58, and John Melnick, 54, of Pompano Beach and a member of Bierstock's band, Dr. Sam and the Managed Care Band, have written a song inspired by that old soldier in the airport parking lot.

The mournful "Before You Go" does more than salute those who fought in WWII. It encourages people to go out of their way to thank the aging warriors before they die.

"If we had lost that particular war, our whole way of life would have been shot," says Bierstock, who plays harmonica. "The WW II soldiers are now dying at the rate of about 2,000 every day. I thought we needed to thank them."

The song is striking a chord. Within four days of Bierstock placing it on the Web http: //www.beforeyougo.us, the song and accompanying photo essay have bounced around nine countries, producing tears and heartfelt thanks from veterans, their sons and daughters and grandchildren.

"It made me cry," wrote one veteran's son. Another sent an e-mail saying that only after his father consumed several glasses of wine would he discuss "the unspeakable horrors" he and other soldiers had witnessed in places such as Anzio, Iwo Jima, Bataan and Omaha Beach. "I can never thank them enough," the son wrote. "Thank you for thinking about them."

Bierstock and Melnick thought about shipping it off to a professional singer, maybe a Lee Greenwood type, but because time was running out for so many veterans, they decided it was best to release it quickly, for free, on the Web. They've sent the song to Sen. John McCain and others in Washington. Already they have been invited to perform it in Houston for a Veterans Day tribute - this after just a few days on the Web.

They hope every veteran in America gets a chance to hear it.

God Bless EVERY veteran and THANK YOU to those of you veterans who may receive this!
