USO Canteen FReeper Style...Salutes One of Our Own....June 25,2002
FRiends of the USO Canteen FReeper Style and Snow Bunny

Posted on 06/25/2002 2:31:57 AM PDT by Snow Bunny


Today at the USO Canteen FReeper Style is a very special day. We have all heard that once a Marine always a Marine and that is more true than naught.

There is no finer example of a Marine and a FReeper than LadyX . Her travels in life and into the lives of others has been numerous. Today join us in celebrating LadyX and her 50 years as a Marine.

Many of you have written to me of your appreciation for knowing LadyX and how today marks 50 years since she became a Marine. This is surprise to LadyX and OUR thank to you LadyX, for serving our country and for being a wonderful FReeper and friend.

Her service was during the Korean Conflict in the United States Marine Corps, instructing Women Marine recruits in classroom subjects, and later as a military wife.

With the Marine Corps at its greatest buildup then, for Korean combat, Women Marines freed men for their primary role - to protect our Republic and its ideals.


This is one of my favorite posts that LadyX made.
I saved it and cherish her words.

I came in here to play, but you know what.....I just can't do it tonight. I'm not feeling so hot. Bummer.... Calm down, calm down...I'll be back tomorrow, I promise. I know how disappointed you all will be. Try to carry on and enjoy yourselves, even though it will be difficult.

Love you all!

Jen.....I've had you on my heart for 24 hours now and have spent much time in prayer for you. You and Teacup both. I walked around the block 9 times today to pray. Believe it or not, it's the only place where I can have peace and quiet. LOL Please don't hesitate to contact me if you need anything. I'm always home.

Troops, if your lurking, I just want you to know I prayed for you too. I prayed very hard today. I watched "Black Hawk Down" tonight and it just about killed me. I can't bare the thought of you all being in danger or being away from your families. I know we're all 1,000's of miles apart, but we are here for you and with you. God bless you. I know he will.

LadyX, your my hero and one of my many mother figures who post on this board. LOL :) I sure do love you. It was thrilling for me to enjoy a thread just about you, you precious thing. Congratulations for the beautiful life you have lived.

Will do. We live in a 4-plex townhome (all on the ground floor). We are one of the inner units, so we only have two short walls exposed. I am concerned for others, though. I'm praying that we are only on the edge of this system. It could really get bad. Pray for all those in the track of this storm.

Is it I can't BEAR or I can't BARE?

Lady, I'm so thrilled at this tribute to you and your 50 years of service. You are truly a heroine and I can see that you have passed on the good values to your sons and grandsons. A great looking family too. I feel closer to you now that I know you better. You and my hubby joined the Marines the same year. You may have been at Parris Island the same time. God bless you for your service.

Whereas, my own personal legs are always as white as the underbelly of a dead fish!! (Without the smell!) Durned Swedish blood. (Swedish blood must be red and white, like candy canes.) It definitely doesn't help with leg-tanning color. Oh, how I love Yves Rocher and his sunless tanner (actually it's not his tanner; it's mine -- he just kinda made it, then stuck his name on all the bottles to confuse really stupid people who work at the Lost & Found); anyway, I still love the stuff cuz it doesn't go on invisible, and cause supertan splotches, as well as neglected areas that *always* have escapees from the EpiLady farm that jump out and stick out their (hairy, of course!) tongues at you!!

But I digress. . . . Oh wait, I always digress! If it weren't for living in digression, I'd be existentially homeless!

Okayyyyyyy -- too much Gilmore Girls for this kid!! I just love that show! (If they all weren't liberals, it would be Heaven on Earth!) I guess that is why God told the writer guy to make them liberals. Otherwise, I would live at Luke's Diner with the giant coffee mugs, wear my baseball cap backwards, and talk about sex with Babette and Miss Patty. (I wouldn't have sex with them! I'd merely discuss the topic at large [don't go there!] with them. Sheesh! Such gutter-minds in here! SAMWolf and tomkow -- this means you two too!) They -- meaning the Gilmore Girls, Babette, Miss Patty, Luke, Laine, and all the lovely inhabitants of Stars Hollow -- need someone to help Kirk get a life. Not a wife, a life! And if he does happen to get a wife, it would not ever, ever be me!! I would rather be a toad.

Sooooo -- how is everybody this evening?? (I have a fever; any weird ranting-like stuff that comes out of my mouth, fingers, or ears, is all thereby excused. Bob went out and bought me minestrone from Fazoli's. Isn't that sweet of him?? As soon as I finish my drug lollipop, I will begin thinking about having some for dinner. (Minestrone, not more drug lollipops. A box of 24 drug lollies costs over $400. Would I lie to you about lollipops?? Never, I say! Never!!)

You know, I just realized something -- I am a very strange person. I hear that that is coming back into fashion, though! Not "Valley Girl" strange ("gag me with a spoon!"), but more of a Jean-Paul Sartre strange. Or Jean-Michel Jarre. Or possibly both! (The "genius" kind of strange, to be more precise!) (Not that one must be a genius to pull it off; for example, should one learn to walk the walk and talk the talk, one can be dumber than a box of rocks and no one will ever know! Especially if one is the type who reads a lot, but rarely speaks. Mysterious people always throw others off track! Mysterious people are always supremely cool!!)

Okay, I am alive and awake, and that's about it, right at this exact moment in time. (Had you all seen some of the typos I made -- wow! Had I left them in, this entire diatribe could have been a prologue [or prelude or something similar!} to something on the NY Times Best Seller list, or whichever Best Seller List is the coolest these days.)

Anyway -- my fingers really need to wake up and stop playing unfair! So I shall taketh a short sabbatical. (Those [sabbaticals] don't have to be on Sundays; that's just a myth!) Maybe I shall rest fingers, finish poppilop, then discover the meaning of the universe. I'll call -- if that last one happens. Even if the crummy phone lines go kersplat like they did last night! I'll just use my handy dandy mobile phone. Omigosh -- I must enter my pre-paid piece of of paper (that used to be an actual card, but they got super cheap on us!) to Voicestream today, or they will get mad at me and steal my $300 that I have put into that account over the years. The claim it is not "stealing" -- something about my losing "minutes," not "money!" But when I put them in there, it was money. I cannot add or subtract minutes. If I could, I would be God. Or Daylight Savings Time. One of those.

I really must go pour maintenant. You have to be very careful when pouring "maintenant." It's like, another time thing, and you could wind up in another century -- like with E.T. or something. Or in the Delta Quadrant. (Hopefully not with Star Wars dudes, cuz I look really stupid with breakfast Danish strapped to each side of my head!

"You teach best what you most need to learn." --Richard Bach, Illusions. Did any of you just learn anything from that jumbled-up mess?? Good. Then I'm safe! But I must wake up now. (It would be such a help!!)

MUSH love and God bless,
Beep Kierkegaard

P.S. Tomkow, are you related to Mancow?? (He's a hoot!) Have you joined Burqaholics Anonymous yet?? (I won't tell!!) **smooches**

Spookie, you are such a dear FRiend and I love you so much. Thank you for the prayers, I have felt them today.

I have not felt well today either. Stress takes a huge toll on me physically. I have had a migraine since mid-morning and slept most of the day, and almost every muscle in my body is screaming in pain tonight.

I am sorry you don't feel well, hon. Sounds like stress hits you hard too. Get some rest, you will be missed. Hope you feel better tomorrow. Love ya! Jen

Consider yourself adopted, SpookBrat.
I need another daughter, just so you are beyond diapers, do not throw tantrums nor spit in public, and can whistle Dixie..:)))

Love you, Little One - good night...
