[SoldierDad]

Thank you, and God Bless. Plus, I like the tagline (GO EAGLES).

[Rembrandt]

I've forgotten, what was Jammah Cahtah's rank in his graduating Annapolis class? Surely someone on this thread knows "he graduated x out of y graduates."

Thanks.

Thanks for checking in....((hugs))....ALLEGRA....WHERE ARE YOU??

I was asleep...slept through some of that. It was going on when I went to bed. I had no idea what it was. I figured some battle was underway. It started around 10:30 p.m.

I'm trying to get in touch with a couple of people I know at FOB Falcon...

But w'ere OK in the IZ!

[Allegra]

It rained! Okay, around 5 drops while I was outside, but it was moisture falling from the sky.

Well, I had to stop the rain dance because of the explosions. But I'll get it going again soon. ;-)

Dear Minette:


Simple Pleasures





Mother didn't want to play with me today
Then she dropped a big brown bag that she was going to throw away
The moment it hit the floor with that familiar sound
I was into the Kitchen with one long and fluid bound!

Paws and claws splayed wide to slide across its wondrous hide
Pushing here and pulling there to get it to unfold
Then flip and tumble inside in ways noisy and most bold
To stretch and flex and scratch and twist and mold

My new Play Toy in ways to suit my aesthetic tastes
I am so glad Mother didn't let this go to waste
There are great Cat Play Toys and then there's all the rest
Mother understand that sometimes Simple Pleasures are the best!

Good eve, t-t

FYI - you probably should NOT use "quickie" and "nudity" in the same paragraph. It's very suggestive. Or is that the way you planned it? (wink - LOL)

[mossyoaks]

This is to everyone:
Thank you so much for recognizing the birthday of USNA. As the mother of a current midshipman, it is encouraging to think that there are still some folks out there who know & respect what these young people are doing (and will do) with their lives.
I've been a freeper since 2004, but haven't visited in quite awhile. What a great way to be welcomed back - a beautiful post about USNA! LOVE all the pictures!
Cheers to all & have a great NAVY day!
P.S. GO NAVY BEAT ARMY (& everyone else!)

[beachn4fun]

Welcome (back), mossyoak

"As a mother of a current midshipman", seems I owe you my gratitude.

Please pass my heart-felt thanks to him/her for their service.

The Canteen exists for folks such as yourself and yours. Please come back often. Bring the family.

But, beware, we have a lot of Army guyz hanging around (wink)

[mossyoaks]

Thanks beachy!
About those "Army guyz" hanging around, you know we're all on the same team - except for just one day a year!

And how 'bout that Navy Football??
- Midshipmen are at 5W to 1L.
- Navy's offense ranks first nationally in rushing, averaging more than 350 yards per game on the ground.

GO NAVY BEAT RUTGERS!

Dear Uncle Jack...
Thank you for the delightful poem!
Today I am helping the Pretty One do laundry!
I found a sock she was looking for!
Hope you have a puuuuuuuuurfect day!
Love,
Minette
