Canteen Mission Statement

Showing support and boosting the morale of
our military and our allies military
and the family members of the above.
Honoring those who have served before.

As the rain cleared, and the sun began to rise, Key peered through the lifting darkness anxious to see if the flag they had seen the night before was still flying. And so it was that he scribbled on the back of an envelope the first lines of a poem he called Defense of Fort M'Henry

By the way, it's funny that you mentioned "Obama Nation".

By coincidence, I just read a book called "My French Whore".

But the titles are where the similarities end.
"MFW" is actually a love story set in WWI, written by Gene Wilder (of Young Frankenstein fame).
It was in the wrong place in the library and I happened upon it. Saw the title, the author, the quote from Mel Brooks. Sold! (or borrowed, at any rate).

I’m doing well enough.

I’ve been merciless with my studies and plowed through a major amount of stuff.

I’m feeling better about the test now.

[TASMANIANRED]

Evening Mac.

[TASMANIANRED]

I'm betting “Goldfrank's Toxicological Emergencies” isn't on the list.

Evening, Taz - how are you doing tonite?

[AZamericonnie]

WooHoo...a day off! Didja sneak in a nappie?:)

Oh my Luv...prayers for your brother & all in the storms path! Please update ok?

[TASMANIANRED]

I’m cross eyed from reading but it’s all good.

[luvie]

I know you have worked so hard. I also know that you are
going to do SO well!

[TASMANIANRED]

Thanks for the vote of confidence.

I at least feel like I've whittled it down to a manageable size now.

[ConorMacNessa]

What are you studying for, Taz?

[luvie]

No...I had to clean stuff...plus I watched some 9-11 video.

CBS’s “9-11”...which is one of the best documentaries of
that day. I just needed to!

Thanks for the prayers. He was asking for them. I’ll let
you all know whenever I get phone calls.

I wonder how EGS is. I worry about him, too!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Welcome to the Canteen, Iron Munro....what a Grand Old Flag. Thanks for the picture and information.

[ConorMacNessa]

Welcome back, Kathy!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Home safe and sound and thinking about food.

[luvie]

Glad you got home safely. Getcha something to munch on and
come back to visit! :D

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mac....are you still working 7 days a week?

[ConorMacNessa]

Taking Sundays off, thankfully. :)

[TASMANIANRED]

Toxicology certification exam.

It’s a national test and I have to recert every 7 years.

[TASMANIANRED]

I saw something earlier this week about a 11 yr old getting Moose stomped up in your environs.

The little thing was black and blue but she survived it.

[ConorMacNessa]

Sounds difficult. Is there that much change in the field to require recert?
