"LESSON TO MY SON"
by A PROUD AMERICAN, Irma S. Chambers

This is excellent, Tonk!
I'll never understand why some people can't understand the necessity of what our troops are doing in Iraq.
They'd rather continue to close the blinds and live in ignorant bliss. Things just don't work that way, unfortunately.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Oops! 1:15am, max! That will get me to bed a couple hours earlier than usual of late. I really do need to start getting some sleep. Road trip next week. Woo Hoo!!

[radu]

The timer is set. *giggle*

[Kathy in Alaska]

I've missed you!! LOL!

[radu]

It's nice to know I was missed. I missed you, too, and all our late-night cutting up. It's soooooo good to be able to get here again.
And someone has to make you get some SLEEP!! LOL!
You don't want to be burned out when you go on your ROAD TRIP!!!!! I'm sooooo jealous!

[radu]

Time's up!!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

I'm going, I'm going! THANK YOU! It sure is good to see you back in the Canteen. You have really been missed. Thank you so much for all you do for our troops. Good night!! *HUG*

Time for bed. God Bless all our troops, their families, our veterans and our Canadian, Israeli, Great Britain, Australian, Poland, New Zealand and Taiwanese allies. We pray for your safe and soon return. Thank you for doing the jobs you do to keep this UNITED STATES OF AMERICA safe. We love all of you.

"Two Wishes"

Sick.....but VERY FUNNY! ROTFLOL!!

[radu]

"All Your Bases Are belong To U.S."

COOOOOL pics, SAM! I watched these events all night and was on the edge of my seat. So much going on! It makes it VERY difficult to concentrate on the thread. LOL!

Here's a couple from Baghdad and what I've been seeing tonight. hehehe!

An Iraqi woman and her son loot a government warehouse
on a main road leading into Baghdad.

Celebrations erupted today in the Baghdad's
Shiite neighborhood of Saddam City.

Gee, all this ruckus couldn't have anything to do with the idiot Info Meister not showing up for work today, now could it? ROTFLOL!

[radu]

ROTFLOL!! The "Baghdad Boogie"....Thanks for the link to the video clip, Valin. I don't know what made me smile more, that young Marine dancing with the children or the smiles on his family's faces after seeing it themselves.

[radu]

"Though they've known fear
And darkness for years
For this moment in time
There are no more tears"

Let us hope for the sake of these boys and girls that this moment in time lasts a LONG time.

I like the way the pics of events in Iraq inspire you to write, EV. Beautiful works.

[radu]

The Beetle Baily clip is wonderful, ms. feather! Thanks for posting the link!
