I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.

“I didn’t ask you who did it, I told you to clean it up”, said Mom

Always borrow money from a pessimist. He won't expect it back.

An optimist can never be pleasantly surprised.

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

WELCOME TO

(where our troops, allies and their families can refresh themselves)

Good morning, Everyone.

Good morning to our

Military, our Allies, and their families.

Thank you, Connie, for preparing the Canteen for today's activities.

Oh, I modified a couple from you humor lines:

Do not argue with an Liberal. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people (Obama) appear bright until you hear them speak.

I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you. (Got to use this one on hubby)

Why do Americans choose from just two people to run for president and 50 for Miss America ? (Good question)

I discovered I scream the same way whether I'm about to be devoured by a great white shark or if a piece of seaweed touches my foot. (ROTFLOL - what a hoot)

Now our local DC Metroland weather report

~ Today...Mostly sunny. High near 85F. Winds NW at 5 to 10 mph.

~ Tonight...Partly cloudy skies. Low near 60F. Winds N at 5 to 10 mph.

The ten day forecast is looking pretty good. Might even be able to get outside and enjoy what's left of the summer.

Looks like it's time for another installment of

DID YOU KNOW?

Before deciding on the name "Sherlock," Arthur Conan Doyle had named his now famous detective – Sherrinford. The name was used in a short story Doyle wrote in 1886. Holme's sidekick in the story was called Ormond Sacker – soon to be renamed Thomas Watson.

Lettuce and celery will keep longer if stored in the refrigerator in paper bags instead of cellophane ones. Do not remove the outside leaves of either until ready to use.

Peter the Great hated the Kremlin, where, as a child, he had witnessed the brutal torture and murder of his mother's family.

The December 1946 issue of "Arizona Highways" was the first all-color issue of a nationally circulated magazine in the United States.

I have to make my rounds before some one comes a knocking. But, you stay right where you are. Keep the troops entertained and the Canteen clean.........Cause.......if you don't........I'll tell Ma!

So, come on in and sit for a while. There's always plenty of coffee, pancakes, conversation, silliness, and plain old BS

REMEMBER THEM ....
