The hour is near
Time to face a New Year
A toast to good health, family, and FRiends dear
A wish for safety, prosperity, laughter, and love
And, many, many thanks! to those serving our Country
and, to the One above.

*******************************

OK, was that mushy? Was it cheesy? Yes! Heartfelt, too.....

And, speaking of "CHEESE" (after all....this is Free Republic : ))

You are cordially invited to the Canteen's
New Year's
: )

So guys and dollz it's time to boogie!

*******************************

HAPPY 2003!

Come on and party!

Please pick up your new CHEESY name tag for the ball HERE

(To "find" your new cheesy name, use the first letter of your first name for your first cheesy name. Use the first letter of your last name for the first part of your last cheesy name, or, your middle cheesy name, and, use the last letter of your last name for your cheesy last name. [Thanks LindaSOG. I tweaked the formula. : )]
For example: The name Hillary Clinton becomes Hereford Hop Curd Nokkelost.)

Hey, if that's too much, just pick a few cheese names and have fun! : )

So, everyone LET'S CHEESE ROLL! LET'S CHEESE DIP! AND, LET'S HAVE A CHEESE BALL! : )

Happy New Year, and may God bless our troops -- the men and women who proudly wear the uniform and serve our blessed country -- and keep them safe.

I was hoping Tonkin would post his mailbox, but, I don't think he's here yet, so, in the meantime - Please take a moment to thank a person in uniform. Remember they are the reason we are FREE to celebrate. Thank you!

Today's FEEBLE attempt at humor:

A chemistry teacher wanted to teach his 5th grade class a lesson about
the evils of liquor, so he produced an experiment that involved a
glass
of water, a glass of whiskey and two worms. "Now, class. Observe the
worms closely," said the teacher putting a worm first into the water.
The worm in the water writhed about, happy as a worm in water could
be.
The second worm, he put into the whiskey. It writhed painfully, and
we derive from this experiment?" the teacher asked.Johnny, who
naturally
sits at the back, raised his hand and wisely, responded, "Drink
whiskey
and you won't get worms."

[tomkow6]

Pippin! WAKE UP!
