Showing support and boosting the morale of our military and our allied military and the family members of the above. Honoring those who have served before.

This week we take a look at one of the most famous Canteens of WWII.

[TASMANIANRED]

It has actually been a pretty good weekend especially considering what some of them have been like recently.

[TASMANIANRED]

You have had a mighty big day.

Tears of joy are the best kind.

Fishing Rod..now that is unique ..LOL

[TASMANIANRED]

I love it too...Delish.

A bunch of my relatives have moved down to Kentucky lately.....more room for the pets....horses.

Why did the chicken cross the road?

Long ago and far away, a friend of mine brought his car over to the Philippines. Travel was much faster and more comfortable than the Victory Liner. But he ran over a chicken in the road. He stopped and offered the owner the going price for the dead chicken, which would normally have been about 5 Pesos (about a buck)

The owner refused and lawyered up...and my friend was hauled before the Magistrate on the spot.

The chicken's owner argued that the deceased produced x amount of eggs and from those eggs he profited from consumption, sale and progeny which increased his flock. Needless to say , the Magistrate found for the plaintiff and required a 600 Peso remittance($100 US) to the plaintiff.

So.....why did the chicken cross the road?


Because it was profitable.

Couple of nutburgers but mostly little kid stuff...

Like painting the bathroom with toothpaste and not knowing how much was in the kid rather than on them.

Thanks, AZ, for your red, white, and blue tribute.

[TASMANIANRED]

Evening 7o9

[luvie]

Very good. Maybe having Moms in charge this weekend made the nuttier ones behave themselves! LOL!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Oh dear...I suspect NOTHING surprises you anymore....painting with toothpaste.

[luvie]

LOL!

They saw the “rich” American coming and probably tossed an
already-dead chicken in the road!

[TASMANIANRED]

Profitt.. Of course.

I doubt that a single chicken would ever produce $100 worth of eggs.

At 1.35 an dozen that would take 888 eggs.. Couple of years of daily laying...

Hope your friends horses are liking the blue grass.

Good evening Tazilla.....just checking in before movie time.

Hope you have a good shift & limited crazies. *Hugs*

[TASMANIANRED]

Must have worked..

[TASMANIANRED]

We had a 4 yr old decide to help out the 4 month old kid by coloring all his bald spots with a blue sharpie..

Harmless but pretty funny.

[TASMANIANRED]

Movie time. Whatcha watching?

Lovely weekend..Shhhhhh don’t tell anyone..

[AZamericonnie]

Nothing special MMom. Some laundry & cooking. Mom’s work doesn’t end just cuz it’s Mother’s day does it? LOL

[Tanniker Smith]

I just wanted to get a "Good evening" to all the ladies and gents out there before I turn in. I got about 2 hours sleep last night and maybe a bit of a bit during the Yankee game (I don't really remember the 2nd or 3rd inning nor the 4th, 5th, 6th, nor 7th neither). So I'm getting to bed early tonight. Although according to the clock on the PC, I'm getting to bed about 6 minutes early. Oh, well.

Night, all.

[AZamericonnie]

Gonna watch Man of Year. I’ll let you know tomorrow.:)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Oh my.....interesting decoration job. I wonder how long the color takes to wear off? LOL!

[AZamericonnie]

Good evening to my AZ buddy! Have you seen how messed up Shea is these days? :)

Welcome to AZ....the home of road construction 24/7! lol
