USO Canteen FReeper Style....Themeless Thursday.... July 11,2002

Welcome to the USO Canteen FReeper Style

.

Message from Snow Bunny to all those who visit the Canteen.

This is how I think of the USO Canteen Freeper Style.
It is like a cottage down a road,
a place where a weary veteran can spend the night.

Since it opened, it is magical how so many
Freepers who post here, feel it too.
It has been so dear how the Freepers
kept making it a cottage - a home-type of place
that had a huge living room
for them to visit in and a dance floor, a library, etc.

Many Veterans have written to me,
saying that the Canteen is like home
to them for the first time since they served.

This is your Canteen -
a respite from our busy
and sometimes troubling world.
Make yourself at home.

..............................................................................................................................................................................

Thank you SAMWolf for creating the Themeless Thursday.
Thank you Coteblanche for creating the intro with the Canteen Cottage.

Sounds like you're a lot of fun. The first time I shot a gun, I was in the 6th grade. Our coach was teaching us gun safety and skeet shooting. I shot every single one and the boys couldn't believe it. It was the very first time I ever fired a gun and it was so exciting!! They were so mad at me too. They had been shooting guns since they learned to walk and a GIRL out "skeeted" them. ROFL! It was great. hehehe

Don't make me mad!!!!!

THE "FORWARDER'S" 12 STEP PROGRAM - EVERYONE SAY IT WITH ME ...

I will NOT get bad luck, lose my friends, or lose my mailing
lists if I DON'T forward an email!

I will NOT hear any music or see a taco dog, if I do forward an
>e-mail.

Bill Gates is NOT going to send me money, Victoria Secret doesn't
know anything about a gift certificate they're supposed to send me.

Ford will NOT give me a 50% discount even if I forward my e-mail
to more than 50 people!

I will NEVER receive gift certificates, coupons, or freebies from
Coca Cola, Cracker Barrel, Old Navy, or anyone else if I send an
e-mail
to 10 people.

I will NEVER see a pop-up window if I forward an e-mail ...
NEVER --NEVER !!

There is NO SUCH THING as an e-mail tracking program, and I am
not STUPID enough to think that someone will send me $100 for
forwarding an e-mail to 10 or more people!

There is NO kid with cancer through the Make-a-Wish program in
England collecting anything! He did when he was 7 years old. He
is now cancer free and 35 years old and DOESN'T WANT ANY
MORE POST CARDS, or GET-WELL CARDS.

The government does not have a bill in Congress called 901B (or
whatever they named it this week) that, if passed, will enable
them to charge us 5 cents for every e-mail we send.

There will be NO cool dancing, singing, waving, colorful
flowers, characters, or program that I will receive
immediately after I forward an e-mail. NONE, ZIP, ZERO, NADA!!

The American Red Cross will NOT donate 50 cents to certain
individual dying of some never-heard-of disease for every
e-mail address I send this to. The American Red Cross RECEIVES
donations.

And finally, I WILL NOT let others guilt me into sending things
by telling me I am not their friend or that I don't believe in
Jesus Christ. If God wants to send me a message, I believe the
bushes in my yard will burn before He picks up a PC to pass it on!

Now, repeat this to yourself until you have it memorized, and send
it along to at least 5 of your friends before the next full moon
or you will surely be constipated for the next three months and all
of your hair will fall out!

Just Kidding...

Gee, I love Canadian humor. Some of the greatest comedians we have come from Canada. Where would we be without Canadian humor????

Cote, would you please say, "Eh" for me? Do you call a butt, a "bum"? Just curious.

Howdy stranger. Everything is going ok. My server was down for about 3 hours today and I thought I would lose my mind not having my computer. It's like cocain or something...I just go crazy if I don't have it. AUGH!!! If I can't check email or messages on FR, I am one unhappy camper.

I need a life.....

I just received this from my broker. I normally don't pass stock
tips on, but I thought this exception would be OK. If you hold any of
the following stocks, you may want to review:

American Can
Interstate Water
National Gas
Northern Tissue

Due to the uncertain market conditions, at this present time, we
advise
you to sit tight on your American Can, hold your Water, and let go of
your Gas. You may be interested to know that Northern Tissue touched a
new bottom today, and millions were wiped clean.
