| Our Mission: The FReeper Foxhole is dedicated to Veterans of our Nation's military forces and to others who are affected in their relationships with Veterans. In the FReeper Foxhole, Veterans or their family members should feel free to address their specific circumstances or whatever issues concern them in an atmosphere of peace, understanding, brotherhood and support. The FReeper Foxhole hopes to share with it's readers an open forum where we can learn about and discuss military history, military news and other topics of concern or interest to our readers be they Veteran's, Current Duty or anyone interested in what we have to offer. If the Foxhole makes someone appreciate, even a little, what others have sacrificed for us, then it has accomplished one of it's missions. We hope the Foxhole in some small way helps us to remember and honor those who came before us.

 OR HOW TO HAVE FUN EATIN ON THE RUN With the demise of the C-rations in the early 1980s and the advent MRES the McIllhenny Company stepped up and produced an updated version of the Charlie Ration Cookbook. In 1984 The Unofficial MRE Recipe Booklet was brought out with the help of the Bettle Bailey crew to help the GIs spice up their rations. So here is "The Unofficial MRE Recipe Booklet" or "How to Have Fun Eatin on the Run"              |
This would be from Msdrby's brother.
Hey there! It's good to see you too! The few times I've posted I haven't had time to talk to wait around and talk! Glad you stopped by. :-)
Now, who's this cousin? :-)
So, is that the little brother who's a cop? :-)
Is he purdy excited? :-)
I have been freezing today. Bittygirl had a milk catastrophe with her sippycup yesterday so our coats got "coated" with milk. Can you say dry clean only? Well, in any case, *mine* is dry clean only. So, today we ventured out for karateboy's karate class wearing an Indian blanket to keep warm! Brrr.
Yep.
Is he purdy excited? :-)
Dunno about him. The mommy to be seems so.
The dried hamburger patty MRE was the best of them all. If you just followed the instructions to rehydrate it, they tasted just like the flame broiled patties on burger king burgers. i used to trade my m&ms for those dehydrated beef patties. the worst one of the lot was the omelette. of course, they have some now that are much worse than that.
He's terrified, heh!
Hmmm.... I can kinda relate.
Well, at least to the Indian blanket part.
It's been a few years since I got a "milk coating." hehehe
Guess who packed up all the winter clothing and stuck it in storage places cause she was going to have her own place again by the time last summer was over? I haven't had so few wardrobe choices in years... and add to that, I've put on enough pounds so half the 10 pairs of jeans I kept with me no longer go over the hips. ~sigh~ I donwanna buy clothes. I have enough in storage!
Anyway, sometime back in November or so my aunt came back from a shopping trip with a pretty Indian blanket for me to use in the den while watching TV. It has become something I take to work and everywhere else with me cause the light jacket I kept out last summer just don't do cold weather.
Obviously, I haven't been all that sorry we've had no winter to speak of. LOL... lack of clothing... unwilling to shop... i know, i'm hopeless.
Well.... just wait till the little fella gets here. Soon as he sees he's got the prettiest baby that's ever been born he'll know it's his mission to show him off to the world!
Oh! Now that must be a sight to see!!! :-)
Well, my borter seems intent on going to Iraq. (I have strong opinions about this, but am ~not~ going to get in the middle of it.) What this means is that he will not be there when the baby is born, and probably not until the baby is about 6 months old.
borter?? what kind of typo is that? should be "brother."
This one isn't passing the smell test. I know that the early parks were either carved out of federal lands, or donated by the states and private benefactors, but despite the law to the contrary, FDR spent over $2 million toward the purchase of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, starting with over $1.5 million in 1933. That should pre-date the Mass purchases.
Here's a source on the Tennessee spending. http://tennesseeencyclopedia.net/imagegallery.php?EntryID=G041
Well.
I hate to hear that he may not be there.
But, ya know, that's what happened with my son-in-law and this last grandbaby. 'Course, this was his 4th baby but it sure was hard on both mykid and the s-i-l.
I tell ya what though. My heart has been totally stole by that little boy. Ya know, I didn't get to have a little boy - there may be a reason. God mighta known just how crazy I'd be about one!!!!
(the Dale Earnhardt car that i gave him was his favoritest toy on Christmas day)
borter. brother. bother. it all comes out readable. LOL
Where are all you people and why aren't you up here shopping at our store?! I swear the folks here don't have any money. In our shopping center the dry cleaners is for sale, the Quizno's sub is going out of business and every small retailer is hurting up our way. Grrrr.
We are in the wrong place it seems!
Well, I guess I ought to need some birdseed huh? I oughta find some birds to feed somewhere. hmmm......
Grrr. We are terribly jealous. See my post 336. The economy sucks here!
You're so good!
We seem to be surrounded by what we call Wal-Mart shoppers, which is okay in my book for toilet paper and paper towells but we sell AMERICAN made stuff and people here just don't want to pay for quality products, not enough people anyway.
We're thinking of headed somewhere else. Even though it's only been a year and a couple months it doesn't look good. We look at the figures long term and I don't think this town can do it for us.
