perhaps a long winded diatribe regarding the continuing decline of Army culture I saw an article in a recent Army Times about how basic is getting too soft and soldiers are going to AIT unprepared and with an increasing sense of entitlement? Thought you might have an interesting take on that, and bette
I want one of my own, mommy! ditto. beautiful girl and wonderful pics
The faint sound of the can-can floated through the house. I rushed to the kitchen, hoping I could answer before the tune ended. I reached, fumbling for the phone, and my stomach clenched with fear when I saw your name. At 5 our paths crossed for the first time, and our lives entwined forever. Although we were born three days and many miles apart, shari
This whole situation has frustrated me, especially with being here at Ft. Lewis. In a way I'm glad that I don't have to see protesters lined up on the "Freedom Bridge", and the media vans all over, but I think it frustrates me more that there is a chance it all ended with a mistrial and will not be addressed again.
AMEN! I'll second that one! I have never looked forward to the times that SPC Nbs and I have spent apart over the years. I have learned to deal with it, and try to use the time constructively, because me bitching about it isn't going to accomplish anything other than make me look like a spoiled, petu
congrats on the new job!
I have to stave off my lazy, complacent side; my self-piteous, depressed self; and embrace ambition(!) that I've never before held as a virtue. --Such a wonderful description. And familiar feelings. Thank you...
I followed the link, read the article, and could only manage the first page of comments before my blood pressure was elevated and the throbbing started behind my eye. This stuff pisses me off, especially with nbs' trip coming up. I have never worn the uniform myself, and most likely never will, but with the time I have been associated with the military and situations I've been through, I have nothing but respect for the job all of our "mercenaries" d
I hesitate to ask but... is that one serving, or for you and NBS, or do you expect leftovers? When I make sauce, I make it to last several sittings. I started experimenting with my own sauce when he was in Korea, so when I would make it, I would make it to last for a week or so, with other meals thrown
sounds like a good meal, and your sauce is alot healthier than what I make. I started experimenting with making my own sauce while SPC Nbs was in Korea, and now when I make sauce I usually use 8-12 Roma tomatoes, 1 can of tomato paste, 1/2 large white onion, finely chopped, an entire head of Garlic, finely chopped, about 2 pounds of ground beef, various spices including about 1/4 to 1/2 cup sugar, depending on my mood and on how much cinnamo
I am so happy for you! Our youngest cat is a tortoiseshell also (a calico with a black background instead of white) and we've been told that she's ugly, too. I think she is absolutely beautiful, and she is very loving. You have found a wonderful addition to your family--Good luck!
Thank you, Wahine
10 years ago today, I walked down the aisle of Berry Chapel at Ouachita Baptist University to join my life with that of my beloved. I wore the gown my Mother wore 27 years earlier (made for her by her father-in-law), and my bridesmaids wore peach. My Father and Grandfather conducted the ceremony, my Mom played the piano, and Ben and I sang to each other. Only a few
Awesome!
I learned yesterday that when a four year old runs out of the school building, no matter how fast I run, I'm not going to catch him. Thank God there was someone waiting on the other side of the school.
I thought you had someone interested in it already? I was hoping that would work out for you... That prospect decided he needed to rent out the houses he had already before buying another one, which I understand. We almost had to let it go twice in the last 4 months while Nbs was out and just getting b
So, it's Monday afternoon, the kids are in various stages of waking up from nap time and getting ready to leave for the day, and all of a sudden a little boy burts out in song at his table, "I'm in love with a stripper!". The teacher's eyes get real big and she looks at me for confirmation of what she heard. I nod my head and she proceeds to tell the boy that he sho
I sent SPC Nbs a package that arrived on Valentine's Day, with a card, stuffed tiger, candy, cookies, etc. However, he has trained me well over the years. I rarely ever get angry or frustrated at not receiving anything for a special day since he told me from the beginning of our relationship that he thought that celebrating things on the actual "day of" was too predictable. So, I've gotten flowers and a card for my birthday six weeks after, or a bea
Congrats! I saw the front page this morning at the bookstore, but didn't have time to read it. Never thought I would see a front page news article about what you guys do.
MeatgazingUnfortunately, NOT KoL relatedHow sad that I know exactly what that means. And sadder that it was what I hoped this article was about when I clicked on it. That's what I was hoping for as well. Oops! Now repeat after me: The memories will fade, the memories will fade......
Congrats! I hope you know there are others, who aren't there any more, who look up to you as well.
The sad part is that I'm friends with his wife, and the four of us (and our boss) are members of the same church.
You could always share your naughty stories! I've been thinking about that lately. I'll have to have some kind of outlet while he's gone. That's alot safer than some.
Aarrgghh!! Ughh! Ick! ((Shudder)) Eeeww! Okay, now that I have that out of the way...... Aarrgghh!! Ughh! Ick! ((Shudder)) Eeeww! Oops, I guess I wasn't done being revolted yet. Oh well... Once upon a time, there was a girl that liked boys. Alot. So much that she would chase them on the playground and push them down so she
It seems like every time I blog, I'm commenting on how it's been too long since I wrote last. Same thing when I email people, too. I hereby resolve, this 1st day of February (I know I'm a month late), to blog more. Especially since I don't have the excuse of SPC Nbs being on the computer constantly for the next few months. Any topic ideas?<!-- Ju-Anchor-Footer-Sta
