Some people have no sense of propriety! :)

And then....someone needed to ask me something. Good grief! No sense at all.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hey there....G’day, Janey...((HUGS))

Looks like you got your graphics issue resolved.

Been flying lately? Where did you go?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Sand...((HUGS))...living in an Army town means there must be a lot to troops hither and thither.

You and Maddi have a good day?

[SandRat]

Troops and Vets everywhere,

Maddi and I had a Good Day.

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS AND OUR BELOVED NATION!

Must retire – the 0445 Reveille approaches relentlessly.

The Bugler, his grim visage replete with an evil sneer, already mounts the parapet.

Good evening, Connie...*HUGS*...thank you for the tributes to our troops.

How is your flood zone? Everything back to normal yet?

A nice, smooth commute?

Ran out of time for corrections, but the last, and hardest unit, who cause me problems every week, will get paid what they entered. I’m finding that some of their time is paying right, but it’s an accident. I’ll take it!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Mac, for the Missing Man Setting as we remember those who have given their all that we may gather safe and secure.

[SkyDancer]

Hi ... been doing trips around the area. Nothing drastic but taking tourists out to sheep stations. They play at ranching like a dude ranch. Can’t use the doctor’s planes but I do rent from a ranch nearby. They have a nice StationAir, holds six people. Then some of us will chip in and fly to Brissie for the weekend.

Summer is coming so better weather.

Ta for now, Janey

[Kathy in Alaska]

Beautiful remembrance, Luv. Thank you.

[Kathy in Alaska]

God Bless and watch over our troops who run to the sound of the guns!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Very cool side job you have there.....what an experience for folks to enjoy, including the plane ride.

And it aids you and your mates on your weekend fun trips.

Good on ya!

[luvie]

You’re welcome. It seems to get harder every year instead of easier...

[Kathy in Alaska]

I think part of the “getting harder each year” has to do with those who have forgotten, and a government that doesn’t seem to care one bit. Or, far worse, is actively working with or making nice with the enemy, the terrorists who did this to our country.
