Hi Cobby.

"Well, you always could go to emergency right?
Please don't say you can't get an appointment with a doctor if you are sick."

Nearest "emergency" care is 90 miles away.
Non-emergency does not get treatment unless an appointment has been made.
The VA system works on paper only.
The more they stall vets who are entitled to health care
the more they lower the vet population.
It's their answer to meeting the budget.
Please don't get my blood pressure going on the bill they
are trying to force me to pay from last year.

Re Post #268

See - this only proves what I meant in my post #237.

I enjoy your rants so much. They make me laugh out loud, and then you have to go post such a beautiful dedication.
I'm swallowing tears now.

I really have to take some computer classes!

Thank you for your service as a Navy wife, and thank your husband for his service to our country. I'm a Navy Veteran's Mom. Those guys are righteous!

"The Best Day Of My Life"

Wow, ms feather, that is a great poem. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Miss Feather. Some kind of 'bug' got ahold of me, I suppose. I've been sick to my stomach for the last few days.

[Soaring Feather]

Hi radu,

Ok girlz, how are we dressing for tonight's voyage on Tonk's beautiful ship?

Warm, very warm, we are probably going to walking the plank before the night is done!

[MoJo2001]

Anything I post should prove to you that God has a great sense of humor. It was unfortunate that my father encouraged me to talk early in life. (He's been regretting it ever since..I'm sure of it)

If you ever need or want any help, just ask any of us. I am not that talented as far as graphics and dollz, but I'll help ya as much as I'm capable!! *HUGS*

NO CRYING ON THE BOAT!! YOU HAVE TO HELP ME FIND SOME WHALES!!(Um, besides Hillary Clinton and Rosie O'Donnell)

[Soaring Feather]

Glad you like it Kathy!

[Snow Bunny]

U.S. Atlantic Fleet

U.S. Atlantic Fleet, headquartered in Norfolk, Va., is the U.S. Navy component of U.S. Joint Forces Command.

U.S. Atlantic Fleet is responsible for the entire Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean Sea and the waters around Central and South America extending in the Pacific to the Galapagos Island.

The U. S. Atlantic Fleet provides fully trained, combat ready forces to support United States and NATO commanders in regions of conflict throughout the world. From the Adriatic Sea to the Arabian Gulf, Atlantic Fleet units are called upon to support U.S. theater commanders in chief and joint task force commanders for unified operations anywhere in the world. Additionally, the U.S. Atlantic Fleet provides readiness training, and logistical and administrative support for its surface ships, submarines and aviation squadrons.

To maintain readiness and maximize capabilities, U.S. Atlantic Fleet units operate and train with units of the Army, Air Force, Coast Guard and Allied Forces around the world.

U.S. Atlantic Fleet is comprised of more than 125,000 sailors and civilians, 188 ships and submarines and over 1,200 aircraft. Operational support to the U.S. Atlantic Fleet in the form internal training and logistics is provided by approximately 37 shore activities worldwide.

Routinely, over fifty percent of the U.S. Atlantic Fleet is either overseas, or conducting exercises in preparation for deployment as part of a phase of the Interdeployment Training Cycle (IDTC).

Recent joint initiatives between the U.S. Atlantic and Pacific Fleets have led to a major change in the way surface ships and aircraft squadrons are managed during the Interdeployment Training Cycle. Many inspections and administrative requirements have been streamlined or eliminated in order to provide increased flexibility and efficiency to unit commanders.

Ma, how about cooking Jen some of your Chicken Noodle Soup?? Yummy!! *HUGS* Hope you feel better!

[Jen]

Hi gurlz. I feel a little better but not a whole lot.

About the furniture... I changed my mind about it. Hubby didn't like it and we decided to go shopping together and get what we both like. And to shop closer to home where they deliver! The table and 8 chairs would never fit in hubby's truck.
