USO Canteen FReeper Style....Wednesday March 13,2002
Graphics and Layout by Billie and Written by Snow Bunny

USO Canteen Freeper Style

War has come to our shores. It was committed on American soil.  We have been able to live in Freedom only because of those who have fought in the past wars giving life, limb and all the sacrifices for us to live in Freedom and go about our day without fear.

On September 11, 2001, that comfort, that feeling of living in a land that would not be attacked ended.

William T. Sherman said it succinctly, "War is hell."

The day has come for this Nation and its people to understand that there is a risk in losing its freedom, and in reality there always has been. We have ONLY stayed free because of the sacrifices of our military, our warriors.

This is about saving the future of America. Aristotle said, "We make war that we may live in peace."




We are seeing the American Flag flying at homes now more than ever in my lifetime. We are seeing the American Flag flying on vehicles and people wearing Flag pins and small Flags on their clothes. America is united in the cause for Freedom and for our country to WIN against the evil that came upon our land to kill and hurt us. To change our way of life and to destroy America which is US, you and me. To take away our precious Freedom.



This is the Freeper version of the USO Canteen. Where soldiers could come and feel a small part of being at home. It is a place where you that have family in the military can post a thought to a loved one that might be able to read it far away from home. A place where we that support our military can help support them, post to them, fun graphics showing the price in America and our troops. Poems, quotes, cartoons, or articles of how America is behind our troops.

Those in our military are our Nation's warriors. Let us join hands, fly our Flag and let the world know how important our warriors are to us....And that our MILITARY, our Warriors, are America's TRUE HEROS!


"No Marine was ever honored for what they received. Honor was the reward for what they gave." (Anonymous) CHIEF gave his all in many ways. He touched our lives and his friendship meant so much to all of us. He will live in our hearts forever, and his friendship will always be a bright and shining memory in our hearts and souls.

I don't....thought you did.

Let's put this into perspective, OK?

You came from nowhere and accused me of looking like Billie #172. I collected dolls the same way you do; I have had them for some time now. The difference is that I don't put my sig. on it pretending I'm designing them. Now, if I post one that Billie has already posted or vice versa that shouldn't bother you because as you indicate in your post #197 "my graphics are not the most coveted."

Leave the dolls to girls Louie, and mind your own business!

God bless you. Sorry for all your troubles now. Insurance is one of those necessary evils. Sigh... Keep us posted on how things are going.

A fellow bought a new Mercedes and was out on an interstate road for a nice evening drive. The top was down, the breeze was blowing through his hair and he decided to open her up. As the needle jumped up to 80mph he suddenly saw a flashing red and blue light behind him.

"There ain't no way they can catch a Mercedes," he thought to himself and opened her up further. The needle hit 90, 100 110 and finally 120 with the lights still behind him. "What in the sam hill am I doing?" he thought and pulled over.

The cop came up to him, took his license without a word and examined it and the car.

"I've had a tough shift and this is my last pull over. I don't feel like more paperwork so if you can give me an excuse for your driving that I haven't heard before you can go!"

"Last week my wife ran off with a cop," the man said, "and I was afraid you were trying to give her back!"

"Have a nice night", said the officer.

The difference is that I don't put my sig. on it pretending I'm designing them.

Where have you read that I said I 'designed' them. What gave you that idea?
They're just little cartoon dolls that anyone can pick up off the net. As you well know.
As for my *sig*, the girls, themselves, put it there. I had nothing to do with it.

Now, if I post one that Billie has already posted or vice versa that shouldn't bother you
because as you indicate in your post #197 "my graphics are not the most coveted."

Can't take a joke, Vick? Hmmmm....a little 'touchy' you are.

Leave the dolls to girls Louie, and mind your own business!

Okay, now let's 'really' put this into *perspective, Vick.....you're jealous because I never gave you one. LOL

btw If you want to continue this childish little outburst of yours....freepmail me.
I don't think the Canteen is the place to be having this discussion.

Hey who!

I didn't think it was fair that some others at the Canteen (who shall reamin nameless) have those lovely Dollz signatures, so I made up a couple for you.

Thank you for your sweet note. I hope things turn out for us as well as they did for your neighbor. I'm sure they will. I was so looking forward to getting moved, getting settled and getting life back to normal for the kids. We have been on a roller coaster since September. I worry so much about money too. Life will get back to normal. I guess it just won't be on my time. LOL :)

Thank you for the kind words SB. I am not worried, I know I will get another job soon. Pressmen are always in demand.

To be honest, I am rather pleased I quit today. There is no reason to work for a company that does not run a safe shop. The presses I was on there are too big to take lightly.

Prayers are sent on your behalf as well. God will see to it that everything works out well for all of us.

Besides, more time to FReep! :-)

REFRIGERATOR MAGNET

1. A messy kitchen is a happy kitchen and this kitchen is delirious.

2. No husband has ever been shot while doing the dishes.

3. A husband is someone who takes out the trash and gives the impression he just cleaned the whole house.

4. If we are what we eat, then I'm easy, fast, and cheap.

5. A balanced diet is a cookie in each hand.

6. Thou shalt not weigh more than thy refrigerator.

7. Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves for they shall never cease to be amused.

8. A clean house is a sign of a misspent life.

9. Help keep the kitchen clean -- eat out.

10. Housework done properly can kill you.

11. Countless number of people have eaten in this kitchen and gone on to lead normal lives.

12. My next house will have no kitchen --- just vending machines.
