[glock rocks]

You obviously missed the spirit of my post....

Last summer was the worst I have ever experienced. At football practice for my oldest, I was literally doused in deep woods OFF replenishing it every five minutes and I was still covered in the little buggers.

This year I'm prepared with the new 3M product - Ultrathon. It's 140% DEET and eats your skin if left on longer than 5 hours but it's the only way to get some peace while outside in Minnehahahahaha.

Here's a good article from Ivan.

"Alone but for the screams of the tortured"

It's about the reporters that were taken prisoner and then released. There was a human shield in their group too which I didn't know about.

This is not good news....I think they will pull something really bad and blame us...or here comes the chemicals..

[abnegation]

Don't want them to get good pics of our GIs headed into Baghdad huh?

[ztiworoh]

HEy, try hiking through the Everglades in mid-August, mosquitos, noseeums, gnats and who knows what else... let me jsut sya did it once, that was enough

[PrivateIdaho]

Their booting out their biggest propaganda tool?? Wonder why

Maybe they don't want them broadcasting people celebrating in the streets, tearing down statues of SH and cheering our troops.

[B4Ranch]

Probably because they show too much.

[Dog]

Ab.....pray that is the reason.......but..

Why do they have guards stationed outside the plane?

It looked to me like they were affording her maximum privacy. They formed a screen around her. Perfectly understandable if that's what she wants, after her ordeal.

What side of the city, North, South or West. There is no Eeast side, or I should the East side is Lake Michigan.

[Solson]

That's everyday last summer here. It was unbearable.

[prairiebreeze]

Thanks for the link debg. Disturbing speculation on that other thread.

Prayer for the troops safety.

Being cute and rescued doesn't put her to the front of the guys from the front line in my book. I see it as a side by side situation. They are all our troops fighting together for the same cause. I just hope we don't hear that other guys with more serious wounds had to wait.

I hope your kitty will be okay. Our Tigger started the same thing a few months ago, and she wouldn't provide a sample either and had to spend the night. Tigger recovered just fine, so I hope your guy does too.

Whoa...I'm writing like a babelfish translation...
