Hee hee....is everthing finally calmed down there?

All the changes working like clockwork?

How’s cubemate T doing? Voice all better now...whistle retired? *hugs*

[luvie]

Good evening!

Are you guys having any better weather this week? Hope so!
We had freezing fog this morning that coated all the plantlife
with white ice. It was pretty, and thank goodness the roads were
dry. Now it’s gone. LOL!

[luvie]

Howdy, (((Connie)))

Hope you are having a nice evening! What’s for supper? :D

[AZamericonnie]

Never forget indeed!

[ConorMacNessa]

Cold here - we're in the lower 20's with a brisk wind - no improvement expected through the weekend. We have the blast heat on so it's warm in the house. Also replaced all the windows last year - house was like a wind tunnel before - now calm air. :)

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

[AZamericonnie]

Good evening Luvie! *hugs*

Evenings are always busy. Got home late & phone time.

Sonboy had some soup....he’s under the weather.

It’s kind of a fend for yourself night so it seems.

Not sure what I wnat to fend for myself yet but it’s getting late.

Maybe Luvie has some cheese toast for me....:)

[HiJinx]

Hmmm...we had chili tonight.
It’s not very cold, but it sure seems like it tonight.

[AZamericonnie]

Very wise on replacing those windows....big difference in energy efficiency!

[mylife]

Did I tick you off or something Ma?

I’m no longer on the canteen ping list?

FREEDOM ISN’T FREE!

It is purchased with the blood of Patriots!

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

[AZamericonnie]

Hiya Jinxie! *hugs*

It’s a good chili night indeed & I could use some right about now.

E-mail me some?:)

It would go well with some of Luv’s cheese toast!

I do have leftover cornbread though....

[HiJinx]

Leftover cornbread?
Woo-Hoo, I have beans and a hambone!
We need to get together for a feast, eh?

[luvie]

Let’s do it! The cornbread would also go with the chili!

Or....I have Fritos....Frito pie coming up! :D

In actuality...I had leftover chicken parmigiani (sp?)
It wasn’t awful....

LOL!

[HiJinx]

Leftover chicken parmigiana is good, are you kidding me?!
If we can get 2 or 3 more folks involved, we’re gonna have a good ol’ Baptist pot-luck dinner!

[AZamericonnie]

We need to get together for a feast, eh?

As much as I love legumes...I think I need a break!:)

I think I'll take the leftovers to my FIL.

All I seem to want is goat cheese & crackers with fresh fruit. It's a craving!:)

THE SOLDIER’S CODE

---

Gen Dwight D. Eisenhower addresses troops of the 101st Airborne Division 5JUN1944 prior to D-Day Normandy

The Soldier’s Code

1) I am an American fighting man. I serve in the forces which guard my country and our way of life. I am prepared to give my life in their defense.

2) I will never surrender of my own free will. If in command, I will never surrender my men while they still have the means to resist.

3) If I am captured, I will continue to resist by all means available. I will make every effort to escape and aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy.

4) If I become a prisoner of war, I will keep faith with my fellow prisoners. I will give no information or take part in any action which might be harmful to my comrades. If I am senior, I will take command. If not, I will obey the lawful orders of those appointed over me, and will back them up in every way.

5) When questioned, should I become a prisoner of war, I am bound to give only name, rank, service number, and date of birth. I will evade answering further questions to the utmost of my ability. I will make no oral or written statements disloyal to my country and its allies, or harmful to their cause.

6) I will never forget that I am an American fighting man, responsible for my actions, and dedicated to the principles which made my country free. I will trust in my God and in the United States of America.

President Dwight D. Eisenhower, August, 1955.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

[BIGLOOK]

Aloha Doc!

While my former agency butted heads with the CIA from time to time, there comes a time to recognize their efforts and sacrifice. Now is one of those times.



Eight stars for the unknown agents lost in Afghanistan should be added to our Patriots List.

[AZamericonnie]

we’re gonna have a good ol’ Baptist pot-luck dinner!

Well...in that case we're gonna need some brisket, mac & cheese, potato salad, macaroni salad, cakes & pies!:)
