UNDER ATTACK

A boarding team from HNMLS Rotterdam was making an approach on a suspect dhow near the coast when they came under fire from ashore and from the dhow itself. Rotterdam returned fire in accordance with Rules of Engagement, during which the dhow was seen to ignite and crew members were observed leaping into the water. One crew member of the dhow was killed in this action and 25 people were subsequently rescued from the water by Rotterdam. Commodore Ben Bekkering, the commander of the NATO Task Force, said that the Rotterdam and her boats remained under sustained fire from the shore throughout, even while attempting to rescue the crew of the stricken dhow and one of Rotterdam’s rigid inflatable boats was damaged.

Good morning night owl ((HUGS))

I know the feeling...and the nights I try to get to sleep early, I end up tossing and waking.

Happy Thursday

[Arrowhead1952]

Good morning to everyone at the Canteen. A nippy 42º at our house this morning.

[beachn4fun]

Good morning dear ((HUGS))

Yeah, nippy 40s. Weird...we’re in the 70s already. But your cooling trend is on the way here.

Hope you Thursday is a good one.

[beachn4fun]

Good morning EG ((HUGS))

All is well. Getting ready to get my walk done.

Howz it out your way?

[Arrowhead1952]

Good morning ladies and (((HUGS))).

[Arrowhead1952]

I’ve got to go walking today. It’s been a couple of days since I took pup walking since it was drizzling yesterday.

[E.G.C.]

Well, it's going OK here. We've pretty much dried out from the ice/spring storm.

Here in Comanche OK, we picked up about an inch or so of rain. Luckily it stayed above freezing. Up around Oklahoma City and Enid and such, they had some tree limbs and power lines taken down by the ice and a number of people around there ended up without power for a time.

Today is forecast to be a much nicer day. I may do some lawnmowing later today.

((HUGS))Good morning, LUV W. How's it going?

A three-letter, one-syllable word
that becomes a three-syllable word
by adding one letter to the end of it:
The word "are" has three letters and one syllable
– "area" has three syllables.

A one (drawn-out) syllable word
becomes a three-syllable word
when adding no (new) letters to the front of it:
Y'all becomes alla y'all.

Rimshot!

Thank you so much, Conor.

Michael would be proud and honored!

[oldteen]

Thank you for that, Kathy. *hugs*

[luvie]

And thank YOU! ((HUGS))

Good morning, beachy....I canNOT wait for this week to be over. The payroll system has not worked this week. Rather than pushing one button and having the whole payroll compute, 1100+, something doesn’t work and we had to enter 8 employees at a time. Then, because every other company was waiting for us, we had to run payroll without being able to see what was in it. Not a fun week so far. Today was finding all the issues, and who didn’t get paid. Got those fixed and paid.

"Michael would be proud and honored!"

As he has every right to be, Teenie!
