(cough..cough..sputter..gasp!) I got choked laughing at the snowmen graphic. Too funny!!

They don't make enough clothes to keep me warm in that kind of cold. It occassionally dips that low around here and I simply stay inside. That kind of cold makes my "old" problems really kick up. LOL! It's not too bad around here tonight....about 40F.

I had to kick the heater behind me on for minute to get rid of the goosebumps I had from seeing your temps up there. hahahahaha! I'm not kidding!

Oh wow. This article about the USO tour in Southwest Asia got me a little misty-eyed. The statement by Karri Turner, "I've seen the faces and a lot of them are kids, but I trust them with my life." got me the most. So many of our troops are young but they're finely-trained warriors none the less.

I'm very proud of all those who volunteer to defend our country. And I'm pleased there are those who are willing to spend their holidays touring the world to entertain our fighting men and women.

It's a proud time when our men and women in uniform move out, as they are now led by those who respect them."

"The finest fighting force on earth is bringing smackdown to the bully-boys, and aid to the people who really need it."

You are so right, Phil, the adults, with respect for our military, are back in town.

And candles for Ted Maher and his family.

There is no difference between bin Laden and Ararfat...

...he still learned from Arafat and they both serve the same master.

And they both deserve the same fate.

Whew. Sheer will power and teeth-gritting (along with plenty of aspirin) has gotten me through most of the thread but I'm afraid I'll have to head out. My back needs a horizontal position badly.

Good night and sleep well tonight. God bless ya for all your support for our troops.

Good night troops and allies, wherever you may be. May God watch over you and keep you safe!

Makes you look at certain entertainers a little differently. JAG is one of the few tv shows I watch. Even tho Ms Turner is an actress, it would seem that she gets a little inkling of how the military operates filming her show. To have her go on a USO tour must be quite an additional eye opener.

9. Gee, Officer! That's terrific. The last cop only gave me a warning, too!

Only answering when spoken too seems like a good idea. LOL!!
