FRESH START (Thank You US Military)

More than 50 families return to the Zaitun, west of Baghdad, Sept. 29, 2008, after they were forced to leave because of violence a few years ago. This marks a fresh start for these families as they begin to rebuild and move forward along with the rest of Abu Ghraib and its residents. U.S. Army photo by Cpl. Dustin Weidman

Over to the dark side...not good.

[TASMANIANRED]

You will might be seeing more of them then and they aren’t likely to be attending to traffic.

[SandRat]

salsa rojo? more like salsa el diablo.

could burn the soles of your feet from inside the pit of your stomach.

[luvie]

Howdy, Kathy! (((hugs)))

It’s just hard for me to imagine snow this early in the fall! LOL!

I had a pretty good day and am looking forward to the weekend!

Hope it doesn’t get slicky for you to have to drive on in
the morning!

[TASMANIANRED]

Solly is plastered to my back and dreaming up a storm.

Feet are twitching, Nose is wiggling and she is making little sounds.

Feels mighty odd.

[luvie]

It takes a long time to get that stuff cleaned up. I feel
so sorry for the people around Galveston. They REALLY have
a problem...including dead animals that haven’t been hauled
off. Yuk!

There is gonna be a lot of firewood for sale around your
area this year!

[TASMANIANRED]

I’ve gotten pretty accustomed to working short...Makes the shift fly by.

Of course you don’t have time to collect your thoughts between calls.

[SandRat]

Mrs.SR say that’s how I sleep. lol

[SandRat]

Mrs.SR says that’s how I sleep. lol

[luvie]

?

[SandRat]

me

[luvie]

:D

[SandRat]

dang-nabbit luv!

[TASMANIANRED]

I’m supposed to be drinking 100 ounces of water daily right now...the burn will make it mandatory.

[luvie]

Hee-hee! I just couldn’t help myself!

Did I mess up a hat-trick? =\

[TASMANIANRED]

There are only so many wood chippers to go around.

I’ve seen many stacks of new wood, neatly stacked.

[SandRat]

Oddly enough water doesn’t take the burn away.. in fact makes it worse. Best thing is a plain slice of bread. Nothing on it just bread then the water will do the other things that water is supposed to do. Qui-Qui!

[TASMANIANRED]

I’m assuming you don’t make little yips.

She was clicking her teeth together a little bit ago.

How such a big dog can be so cuddly I’ll never know.

She’s like water.

[SandRat]

No hat trick, just the 1st and probably only one for tonight.

[SandRat]

drool, grunts, and snorts from this end.
