THANK YOU
for your service!
Howdy, Kathy.
I hope your weekend’s going well so far. Sure is a gorgeous day up there.
Are your duck numbers still increasing? I hope that’s a no since you already have a huge crowd showing up to eat. LOL
Urf is a battleground. No happiness here.
Happiness is in Heaven.

all I know for sure is a Man is not Complete until He’s married...and then he’s finished.
Theoretically now, but in reality, the day I die.
Several decades ago I was bemoaning a situation in my life and thinking that if only that was gone, my life would be fine.
The Lord brought me up short with the thought that, no, it wouldn’t. My #2 problem would move into first place and become my next #1 problem.
And I realized that since there was no end to my problems, I
d never reach that state where I was completely satisfied with life.
A thought to live by.

Any minute now, my ship is coming in
I'll keep checking the horizon
I'll stand on the bow, feel the waves come crashing
Come crashing down down down, on me
And you say, be still my love
Open up your heart
Let the light shine in
But don't you understand
I already have a plan
I'm waiting for my real life to begin
When I awoke today, suddenly nothing happened
But in my dreams, I slew the dragon
And down this beaten path, up this cobbled lane
I'm walking in my old footsteps, once again
And you say, just be here now
Forget about the past, your mask is wearing thin
Just let me throw one more dice
I know that I can win
I'm waiting for my real life to begin
Any minute now, my ship is coming in
I'll keep checking the horizon
And I'll check my machine, there's sure to be that call
It's gonna happen soon, soon, oh so very soon
It's just that times are lean
And you say, be still my love
Open up your heart, let the light shine
Don't you understand
I already have a plan
I'm waiting for my real life to begin
On a clear day I can see, see for a long way
On a clear day I can see, see for a long way

Wishing all our Jewish troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners
a peaceful and prosperous week.
Hi Everybody!
(((HUGS)))
Good evening, radu, and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.
How is your water table doing? Still in drought mode?
Prayers for our troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners
for a safe and peaceful week ahead.
He Who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - may He bless the fighters of the Israel Defense Force, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our G-d from the border of the Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea unto the approach of the Aravah, on the land, in the air, and on the sea.
May HASHEM cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them. May the Holy One, Blessed is He, preserve and rescue our fighting men from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in their every endeavor.
May He lead our enemies under their sway and may He grant them salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse: For it is Hashem, your G-d, Who goes with you to battle your enemies for you to save you.
G-d bless and keep your children safe, Alouette.

Comments below the video:
“The weird thing that makes sense is that the USMC was founded in Tun Tavern in 1775. The most bloodthirsty and drunk branch was founded in a bar before America was formed.”
“Marines on deployment to Norway literally drank all the beer in the city of Rayjavick. Not hyperbole, they literally drank the town dry. They called the brewery for more booze. “
“If I remember correctly, Cpl Ray Person on Generation Kill said it best: “Marines are the abused, beat up pitbull that Uncle Sam keeps caged. But sometimes, he lets him out to have some ‘fun.”
“As a retired independent duty Corpsman, from 1975-2009, I did 5 cruises with the Marines. You are absolutely God d**m right. If it absolutely, positively has to be destroyed overnight? Send in the Marines. To any and all Marines Semper Fi from am old Devil Doc.”
“I spent 4 years as a Hospital Corpsman with Marine Infantry . While my body now is paying the price I wouldn’t trade that experience for anything in the world!”
“I was the only civilian at a Marine bachelor party.... What was supposed to be a weekend of drinking turned into a week and a half.”
I’m hoping the trend of last night and today means that the transients have moved to their normal summer haunts.
Only a couple dozen today, and may this “trend” continue.
