[MeekMom]

what is FRWN?

[Tanniker Smith]

I know, We’re going out to see “Indiana Jones and the Fast Cars”!

I'd go to a Midnight showing if I could . . .

[Radix]

I’m taking a week off in June.

It will probably feel strange but I am going to do it anyhow.

Free Republic War News. All the War news in the War On Terror in Iraq and Afghanistan that the MSM refuses to print.

Major and very heavy ping list too that I put up each night and maintain.

Take a peek by searching on the keyword: FRWN for a real shocker.

Good evening, TS...how was your day? Is learning over for the year?

Good evening, EMB....great pictures of our Navy hard at work.
