Thank you Pip. Glad that's settled! {{{HUG}}}

[Slip18]

You're doing a wonderful job keeping the Canteen together, Tonkin.

I have a photo of my nephew who is on the USS BELLEAU WOOD. He's in the 11th MEO, whatever that means. I would like to post it here soon.

Thanks for keeping the Canteen alive!

Various thoughts from my "voices":


Man does not survive on words alone, despite the fact that
sometimes he has to eat them.

To repeat what others have said requires education; to challenge
it requires a brain.

Plan ahead - it wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark!

I don't have an attitude problem. You have a perception problem.

Why should a person suffer in silence when they can moan, cry,
whimper and complain.

Faith is believing in something common sense tells us not to.

You can't scare me - I'm a school bus driver!

Death is life's way of telling you that you're fired!

You know you're getting old when the candles on the cake cost
more than the birthday cake!

Love is like a blind elephant, if it doesn't find a way, it will
make a way.

Wherever you are, God is, And all is well.

Wanna buy a burka?

[Jen]

I love your wacky humor and even your voices - but not your stinky Burka! ;-) hahahaha

Please never stop posting your jokes and graphics here, or wherever you choose.

[Jen]

I'd rather have the teddy bear.

Hi. I was earlier flirting with a Korean era Army nurse over on another thread. He looked good in uniform too.

[Jen]

HE? LJ, you are scaring me!

[firewalk]

Thank you for the ping Tonkin

It's a rainy day here (shhh...don't tell anyone...but i'm enjoying the rain today...if they find out, i won't be able to complain *big grin*)

Hope everyone's having a nice day...

[Jen]

Some of your voices are very wise Tom.

[larryjohnson]

TYPO ALERT!! SHE(she) looked good in uniform! NHH to you.

"Ugly, ugly drive to work. The whole city is a sheet of rain. Everybody on my route drove swiftly through door high puddles Sliding and fishtailing at all intersections. A white knuckle drive."

Kathy, are you sure this wasn't Jacksonville?

The best combination we found was a HEAVY 72-1978 Cadillac El Dorado with front-wheel drive

This reminds me of an old Johnny Cash song, about a guy who slowly steals a caddy off the assembly line...and it kinda goes like this:

I got it one piece at a time, and it didn't cost me a dime- you'll notice me when I come through your town.

Gonna ride around in style, gonna drive everybody wild."Cause I'll have the only one there is around.

Well, it's a 49-50-51-52-53-54-55-56-57-58-59 automobile.

I'm not showing my age, my 16 year old discovered this.

Thanks, Aeronaut, for the daily flyover.

[Kathy in Alaska]

What a great picture, antidisestablihment, to go along with thanks for our military.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Afternoon, Radix, nice to see you. And thank you for your service to our country.

[Radix]

Hello Kathy. How are you today?
