I have a crudely cut wooden heart with similiar words on it that I received from my oldest daughter when she was in grammar school.
Good Morning Feather.
Morning PE. Somber Flag-O-Gram this morning.
A French SNPE explosive reactive armor (ERA) kit and others are available for use on the BMP-2. However, during dismounted troop movement, ERA would be a hazard
Gee ya think!
You're pretty good at your research my FRiend.
One of the intense, pivotal engagements during the Battle of Kursk in July, 1943. German Tiger 1 heavy tanks versus Soviet T34 tanks at extremely close ranges, with high casualties on both sides.
Thanks. Just lucked out and was familiar with the flying pancake. As strange as it looked it did show some promise.
Guess it depends on what you consider the more important asset worth saving, the expensive, important armored unit or the cheap, expendable infantry. ;-)
Sandra/duckie is now asleep & i hope she can get 2-4 hours UNinterrupted sleep. (Lord knows she needs it!) she has had NO UNinterrupted sleep since saturday morning. (NOBODY can sleep normally in this place! it just is NOT possible!)!
i'm now up to about 12-16 hours of sleep since 7am saturday morning. (and BOTH of us eating enough, thanks to all who asked about that.)
what a DIFFERENCE some good meds & a caring PT instructor/therapist can make!
duckie is MUCH IMPROVED this AM! (more than you can imagine, after what i wrote last night.)
she walked about 100 feet with her walker about 10AM today & came back to bed SMILING! (told ya'll that she is TOUGH! & bounces back well too.)
IF i can get her HOME sometime today/tonight, where i can take care of her more adequately, & where she can SLEEP in her own bed & eat "familiar things", i believe she will RAPIDLY improve!
continue your prayers. i believe they are a BIG portion of the "turnaround" she's had overnight;i can't explain the improvement better OR any other way!
PRAYERS HELP-maybe more than "modern" medical care!
again, THANKS to ALL of you!
hugs/kisses, duckie & sw
Say, that'd be a handy option for those folks that tailgate you.
Great news!
I'll take the hugs and kisses from duckie, BUT if it's all the same I think I'll pass on yours. Now don't pout, it's not personal it's just...it doesn't look right, particularly the kisses thing...just doesn't work for me.
:-)
There's that flying saucer everyone keeps seeing. ;-)
Morning EGC. How's your dad?
Morning alfa6.
Mmmmmmmmm. Bet you didn't have those on your camping trip!
Thank you Mayor and good morning.
There you are, tanker girl Tuesday!
Hi Mayor
A Childs simplist conveyance of thanks and love empowers the Heart of their Parents.
In Jewish thought...**The Blessing is intigral to the community...part of the strength.
The Blessing is critical too....it needs to be ..when the Fire's of Life are present.
Fire as a symbolism is many things....the perspective of **Outcomes is witnessed.
Nations are forged in Fire...and their peoples.
Allthough their are many dark appearences in America..this is much Light....the Blessing is working...itself a forging fire.
From a hug and a kiss..to a smile and Thankyou....
a war memorial....a medal..and a biography of rememberance.
Some have yielded up their lives in the fire....some survive....but life will never be the same again.
The Hebrews have a word/thought construct for the Fire...
It speaks of Relationship with the Ancient of Days...the power to make and undo.
In relationship is the promise of guidance....and presence.
The Fire comes...it is understood that beyond all personal understanding..the outcome will be Good...for Good.
EIN SOF.....[Fire]- Light without End.
