FReeper Canteen - Scuttlebutt - 20 Jan 10

Thank you Troops, Vet, Allies & Military Families!!!!!!!! | Canteen Crew

[AZamericonnie]

At the FReeper Canteen! C'mon and take a break ! Walk on over to the water cooler and lets chat. Post your thoughts, opinions, news of the day, rantings, ravings, pontificates, hypothesis, hyperboles, your soap box cause, your mantra, your baggage, your garbage, your blogging, your secrets, whatever you feel would make talk around the water cooler real interesting! Please remember that The Canteen is here to support and entertain our troops and veterans and their families, and is family friendly.       A little humor.... Old Farmer's Advice Your fences need to be horse-high, pig-tight and bull-strong. Keep skunks and bankers at a distance. Life is simpler when you plow around the stumps. A bumble bee is considerably faster than a John Deere tractor. Words that soak into your ears are whispered...not yelled. Meanness don't jes' happen overnight. Forgive your enemies; it messes up their heads. Do not corner somethin' that you know is meaner than you. It don't take a very big person to carry a grudge. You can't unsay a cruel word. Every path has a few puddles. When you wallow with pigs, expect to get dirty. The best sermons are lived, not preached. Most of the stuff people worry about ain't never gonna happen anyway. Don't judge folks by their relatives. Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer. Live a good, honorable life.. Then when you get older and think back, you'll enjoy it a second time. Don't interfere with somethin' that ain't bothering you none. Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a Rain dance. If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin'. Sometimes you get, and sometimes you get got. The biggest troublemaker you'll probably ever have to deal with, watches you from the mirror every mornin'. Always drink upstream from the herd. Good judgment comes from experience, and a lotta that comes from bad judgment. Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier than puttin' it back in.. If you get to thinkin' you're a person of some influence, try orderin' somebody else's dog around. Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight,he'll just kill you. Live simply ~ love generously ~ care deeply ~ speak kindly ~ leave the rest to God. And remember: When you quit laughing, you quit living!! *Worst American Idol Clips*   The U.S. Marines have kept its one secret weapon in hiding for the longest time. Their new combat weapon also known as the SMAW-NE (and manufactured by Talley) is a version of the standard USMC Shoulder Mounted Assault weapon with a new war head. NE, which stands for "Novel Explosive" is a "thermobaric mixture which ignites the air, producing a shock wave of unparallel destructive power, especially against buildings," as reported by David Hambling for Defensetech.org.The rest of the story.... *Future Weapons SMAW-NE*   Big Daddy's Tomato Tortellini Soup Looking for a meal in less than 30 minutes?

Holy smokes My, that’s confusing right???

Hey...as long as it works!:)

I still have a BF account but haven’t actively used it much as of late. One thing I always found is that they are really friendly (Up in Utah) & good with customer support.

A good day for you?

Yes I had a good day.
BF is always friendly though not always efficient in handling problems.

[AZamericonnie]

Hi Diana!!! *hugs*

I had to go grocery shopping after work (Ol’ Mother Hubbard’s Cupboard’s were getting bare!) and got home late myself.

Found some good prices on some fish & chicken.

Did ya have a good day?

[SandRat]

Never kick a fresh turd on a hot day.

After eating an entire bull.a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring. He kept is up until a hunter came along and shot him. The moral: when your full of bull, keep your mouth shut.

If you’re sittin’ at a counter eatin’ leave your hat on. If you’re sittin’ at a table take it off.

There are twotherories to arguin’ with a woman. Neither one works.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Temporary insanity???? d:o)

[AZamericonnie]

I haven’t tried it yet MY but it really does sound yom & easy.

That & maybe a grilled cheese & the feed bag is on!:)

[mylife]

There is no telling. LoL

At any rate its all fixed again.

[HiJinx]

Good evening, Connie!
Wha’ happened to the tortellini soup recipe?

[mylife]

No kidding. I love tomato soup and grilled cheese when its cold out. I made it twice during the last cold snap.

And yes, I kicked up the spice on the soup a few notches!

[SandRat]

Soft foods, nothing hot or cold for awhile. Tuna salad, soggy Cherrios, Jello, Yogurt, Pudding, etc.

[SandRat]

Still get to do that with the front teeth and lower jaw teeth.

[TASMANIANRED]

Evening Connie, Hugs.

[TASMANIANRED]
