Oh, I usually see your animated tissue box for that.
Thanks for the wonderful ping!
Early mornings,...when I can get on, I don't have either my ping list or image list opened; unless it's a day I don't have to go in to work.

I just confused the Durante sniff with a Kitty sniff.
It is very likely we would be dead.
Wonderful. They need it.
Son had me ship him his coffee maker because the ones in the PX were too expensive. He never thought he'd need hot coffee in the desert but discovered those night patrols can get pretty darn cold.
At my son's send-off they handed out tickets to the troops for free food, to be used only at one certain booth. Some young soldier misunderstood directions and wound up at the same booth where I was purchasing a burger. He made his selection, his food arrived, and when he tried to use the coupon they informed him he would need cash. I immediately stepped in and said I"d take care of it.
He said exactly the same thing: "That's not necessary, Ma'am."
Well, yes it was. In my book. And so I paid for his meal, and he thanked me profusely, and I thanked him for his service.
Westlake, CA high school in Agoura? I think we (Santa Clara HS, Oxnard) rumbled with Westlake High during a basketball game in 1979.
P.S. Welcome to PA! Moved from CA long ago, now firmly rooted in Chester County.
what a coincidence! I am in CA now for work - in Camarillo right now!
I was in SF for Fleet Week and we did the same thing for a group of sailors at the restaurant. The entire place couldn't give them enough food and drink. They were climbing all over each other to pick up their tab.
It was heartwarming!
Thanks for posting this thread.
