U.S. Special Forces Aid Dying Afghan Boy

"We don't understand Americans," Ahmad said before departing. "We have yet to understand how compassionate Americans are -- how they want to help the Afghan people. When I go back, I'm sure to call my village together and tell them how they are here to help and [that] we should openly embrace them."

I’m home!!! Saw a moose grazing beside the road.

[Kathy in Alaska]

See ya when ya get here...((HUGS))...list?

[luvie]

Glad you got home so quickly....and that the moose didn’t
decide to cross the road right in front of you! It’s funny
how they just wander around the town at will. :D

[PROCON]

We do quite a lot of B-B-Qing during the summer, how about you?

Does it ever get so hot that you just don't B-B-Q?!

[luvie]

We don’t personally BBQ much...we need a new grill, and though I wanted to get hubby one for Father’s Day, he decided he wanted a book instead.

Actually, when it is this hot, BBQing..or grilling..is preferable to heating up the kitchen. However, we have a George Foreman grill that we use for just us. It will grill about 3 steaks nicely.

Do I talk to much? :D

I saw that your son was gonna camp out. That sounds like fun! Our son and his friends used to like camping out in the back yard, too.

Less than a week to go.....

[Kathy in Alaska]

An oldie but goodie that just showed up in my email box....

I have pondered many of these questions. LOL!!

Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are getting dead?

Why do banks charge a fee on ‘insufficient funds’ when they know there is not enough money?

Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?

Why do they use sterilized needles for death by lethal injection?

Why doesn’t Tarzan have a beard?

Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a revolver at him?

Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?

Whose idea was it to put an ‘S’ in the word ‘lisp’?

If people evolved from apes, why are there still apes?

Why is it that no matter what color bubble bath you use the bubbles are always white?

Is there ever a day that mattresses are not on sale?

Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes that something new to eat will have materialized?

Why do people keep running over a string a dozen times with their vacuum cleaner, then reach down, pick it up, examine it, then put it down to give the vacuum one more chance?

Why is it that no plastic bag will open from the end on your first try?

How do those dead bugs get into those enclosed light fixtures?

Why is it that whenever you attempt to catch something that’s falling off the table you always manage to knock something else over?

In winter why do we try to keep the house as warm as it was in summer when we complained about the heat?

How come you never hear father-in-law jokes?

[PROCON]

LOL!!

Those are very funny and true!!

[PROCON]

Less than a week to go.....

Evening Tanniker!

Almost out, huh?

When do your schools begin again, day after Labor Day?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Wow...your school IS really out late. Do you start late, or have lots of holidays or ???

[Kathy in Alaska]

Why is it that no plastic bag will open from the end on your first try?

One of my favorites...and the remote and the fridge. d:o)

[Kathy in Alaska]

I am SO ready for the weekend. I was really busy today, but my mind was wandering all day.

[luvie]

Those are unanswerable questions! LOL!

[luvie]

Me, too...except for the fact that I have to work on Sunday.

That always makes me crabby! LOL!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Nate, for your service to our country.
Prayers for your safety and success of mission.

[Lady Jag]

This has little bit of practical advice has been going around.

If you ever get the sudden
Urge to run around naked,
You should spray yourself with
Some Windex immediately......
It’ll keep you from streaking.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thank you, Jade Falcon, for helping keep us free.

[MS.BEHAVIN]

I’m back!
Workin’ on a list, Ma!
We had Pittsburgh syle steaks..
Yum!

[mylife]

Steak? at these prices?

[Kathy in Alaska]

What does Pittsburgh style mean?
