The wife replies, "I did. They were in your tackle box."

Ooooooops! LOL!

"Have you heard how your C.G. Brother who was pulled off the ship last week is doing?"

I saw him the next day, he's fine!
(Real Man Overboards are something else!)

[radu]

Spanky seems to be fine. Feeling good enough to do his best to avoid me when I went to give him his medicine a while ago. Lil stinker! LOL!!

All these cats and he was the only one I couldn't find. How do they know???

[Kathy in Alaska]

"How do they know???"

That is the $64,000 Question! Somehow they know and make themselves scarce. LOL!

[radu]

I'm glad to hear he's fine. That was too close a call!

(Real Man Overboards are something else!)

I'm sure that's an understatement! :-D

Birthdates which occurred on January 20:

1946 David Lynch Missoula MT, actor/director (Blue Velvet, Dune, Eraserhead, Twin Peaks)

One of the strangest movies I've ever seen....and I absolutely love it! LOL!

This patriotic floral arrangement is dazzling, Tonk! It really brightens up the Canteen kitchen.

Thanx Military men and Canteen guyz for keeping the Canteen so beautiful each day!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, aomagrat, for today's history of the USS San Pablo.

"and came under severe attack by suicide planes for ten consecutive days."

Wow! And she earned 4 battle stars.

[radu]

Spanky seems to have forgiven me for squirting the medicine down his throat. He's pulling this number on me now. LOL!

"Last widow of a Union veteran in Civil War dies at 93"

This is an amazing article about Gertrude Janeway! I had no idea there was anyone alive who'd been married to a Civil War soldier.

And the fact there's another one, alive, in Elba, Ala. amazes me even more!

[American Preservative]

To our Military -

Thank you for protecting US. Sleep well and safe. May you be protected. May your families' hearts be at ease.

A needle in a hayburner: Animal-science major Jenna Miller squirts a syringe of West Nile vaccine, much to the horror of her patient at the University of Florida at Gainesville.

[Kathy in Alaska]

DING DING, DING DING, DING DING

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good night and sleep well. Have a good Thursday, 1 more day closer to "helo ops" Friday. LOL! *HUG* I'm off to bed shortly, since I'm falling face first into my keyboard. God bless you for your service to our country, those many years ago, and now in the Coast Guard Auxiliary and the Canteen.

[radu]

ROTFLOL! The look in that poor horse's eye is hilarious!! Can't say I blame it...not too overly fond of needles myself. LOL!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Sweet reunion: In tears, Michelle Polling takes her cat, Sugar, from firefighter Chris Whittington after heavy storm winds struck her apartment and others near Greenwood, Ind. Whittington found the calico while searching the damaged buildings.

What a beautiful post to our featured FReeper, Brian Wells, and the crew on the USS TARAWA, SAM. I know they love it. :-))

[radu]

I spent seven months on the Tarawa and have some very fond memories of her!

Thank you for serving the country, TS. :-)
