Serving The Best Troops In The World

Hi! I'm The Sailor and MoJo's youngest son. My nickname at home is *Tibby*. You've probably seen my older brother, hotstreak, before. I'm 6 years old and currently in First Grade.
See the big guy pictured above? Do you know him who he is? If you like the NBA, you'll know it's Shaquille O'Neal.
He, hotstreak, and myself are part of a special community. We're proudly known as *military brats*. His father was in the Army while our Dad is in the Navy. Military brat is an informal term for a child who has one or more parents who serves or served full-time in the military. It implies that such an upbringing is different in important ways from that experienced by those in the community at large, and can be an insult or a compliment, depending on the context. Although brat is usually taken to mean a spoiled child, military brats are usually considered more disciplined than their stateside peers.
Click here for a neat story about him and one of our heroes. Other famous *Military Brats* Johnny Damon Kathy Lee Gifford Mia Hamm Crystal Kay Kris Kristofferson Martin Lawrence Shawn Michaels Jim Morrison Nelly Priscilla Presley Jeri Ryan Blair Underwood Norman Schwarzkopf, Jr. Lionel Richie Victoria Principal Mary-Louise Parker Mitch Pleggi Hunter "Patch" Adams Christina Aguilara Jessica Alba Leslie M. Alexander Michael J. Alexander Ray Allen America Michael Anderson Rick Atkinson B Barbara Babcock Alonzo Babers Kendall Baker Bob Barr Sarah Bird John Blaha Susan Blakely Neal Boortz Deborah Bryant LeVar Burton C Julia Campbell James Carroll John Casper Eddie Cheever James Clapper Glenn Close Henri Cole Pat Conroy Donald G. Cook Deedee Corrandini Vivian Crea Robert Davenport Diane Mott Davidson Benjamin O. Davis, Jr. John Denver Faye Dunaway Ann Dunwoody Robert Duval Michael J. Fox *Some of these folks were schooled overseas with military brats or themselves military brats. *More info here. Are you a military brat? Where have you lived? Did you go to school overseas? Do you still keep in touch with those friends? Thank you to all of our Troops, Veterans, and family members. Thank you to our fellow military brats! We're everywhere!! |

Did you not start it, etc, before said storm? Did it just get too cold? Did it have new/good gas?

I kept that thing clean as a whistle.
Two mos. ago, I cleaned off my area, and that of my neighbor while he was away on holiday.
Sunday, I couldn't fire my snow blower puppy up, and so I surrendered myself to the shovel again.
Later my neighbor, nice kid, really, plowed me out with his own brand new snow blower.
"Thats what neighbors are for" he said.
Saved me hours of back breaking work he did.
