FReeper Canteen ~ Military Short Speak ~ January 30, 2006

FR CANTEEN MISSION STATEMENT
Showing support and boosting the morale of our military and our allies military and the family members of the above.
Honoring those who have served before.

********

That's right - the Canteen mission
Support the troops and all they do
They've given up so much
All for me and you

There are so many here
Who keep the aim sure and true
They support the troops
And have lots of fun too

We dance and play
And spin on our toes
A turn of phrase
A joke or some prose

All for the troops
Who visit and bask
Looking for a friend
A break from their task

So thanks to my friends
You know who you are
This army sister's brother
Is home from the war

You made my life easy
You taught me some things
You brought me such peace
You gave me wings

I'll always hold dear
The ones who have cared
Who gave me their true friendship
Thank you FReeper Canteen.

Every Marine’s right to be heard. At every step up the chain of command any Marine may request to see the next person in authority all the way to the Commandant of the Marine Corps. When a request mast is asked for the Marine does not have to explain why, but he or she must make the request at every step up the ladder. If a Marine requests mast to the CMC he or she had better have a good reason. More here!

Mostly the original Mozilla on desktop, and Firefox on laptop.

I like the tabs in Mozilla and Firefox.

Sometimes ya just have to use Internet Explorer for some pages to load and look right, so that's on both 'puters too.

Are my posts coming out okay?

I don't know if you will still think it so funny when you find out that ducks are organizing.

I might be time to duck

To: laurenmarlowe

Yes - your posts are fine!!

I use Firefox too at home, but in the office I use Internet Explorer. I just noticed that the frame around my last picture shows up in blue here at home, but when I used to use IE it was ALWAYS gray. I am now curious if I have inadvertently changed something (and I like it better this way) or if it's just my browser. I was specifically noticing the frame around the last picture!

LOL!! You must be an earlybird by nature!

I am a night owl, but circumstances force me to be an early bird and I hate it. I usually stay up late at night anyway and pay for it in the morning! LOL

Hmmm. This could be serious. A duck revolution. Is that the leader, Che, in the photo?

I'm neither. I do best late morning and early afternoon. Mornings aren't too bad -

A short nap after the little one is home from school isn't unheard of and

Bed by 9 or 10 at the very latest.

Yech! Thanks for the reminder! LOL

Gosh, how curious!

The frame around Mansions of The Lord is gray on my 'puter, and I am in Mozilla right now!

I'm stumped, LOL! I hope you get it figured out. These browser mysteries are always fascinating to me.

92 posted on 01/29/2006 9:11:02 PM PST by laurenmarlowe

Nap. Now there's a thought! LOL

To: laurenmarlowe

Ok -- the mansions one is gray for me as well. But the one INSIDE the table up top is in blue. I wonder if somehow it reads the background color into the frame...

One more question for the html gurus! LOL

Ok -- I'm off to bed!!

*HUGS!*
