Well my Grand SIL took his test for Staff Sergeant but won't hear the results for 2 months. He says he is not getting his hopes up in case he didn't make it but he's been studying a lot so I'm pretty sure he will make it. Makes a difference in his re-enlistment bonus and of course his pay.
My Grandaughter got a really nice official letter from his Commander telling her how much she was appreciated for supporting her husband on his deployment and how he is greatly appreciated there. It was probably a form letter but still nice. Made her feel really good.
kewl!!! Can't wait to hear in a couple months if he passed. wow, they take awhile to let ya know. So nice she got a letter. The Army will often let you know about promotions quicker, but they don't go much outta their way for the families. I think I got one call from an FRG person askin if I needed anything. Newp I'm fine thanks. that was it. lol But I at least did know who I could call if there was an issue. (so they could fubar it in classic Army fashion) lol
this just makes me sick!!! I didn't get it on FB, so glad you added the cliffnotes. Makes me so mad I feel physically ill.
Instead of relocating the spider, one can also wait for the spider to die in late fall or early winter, then relocate the egg sacs. The new babies don't hatch until the spring.
Sorry, eat bugs or don't eat bugs, I'd have to relocate it to spitter heaven. If they're aggressive or toxic and anywhere near my house, I hope they've said their prayers!! lol
Wow......that was amazing! Gorgeous stormy clouds, with the light breaking through, and the sections far off where you could see there was rain coming down. Love it!!!
Naw Honey - If it ain't one thing, it's everything!
Been one of those days for me... everything I touched turned to ****... everything!
If I had liquor in the house, I'd fix me a big ol stiff one... or three!
So sorry darlin!! Hope other days are going much better for you, and if not that they start going much better!! Really good to see ya though!!!
I took all the news apps off my phone and tablet a little while ago... didn't watch the evening news, and don't plan to. Ever. Again.
I haven't watched news in 3-4 months. I refuse. Just makes me sick with all the political crap, and other crap on there.
and folks... for anyone who hasn't realized this yet - the Middle East will be embroiled in killing and conflict until the end of the world.
JUP!!!
And to top it all off, 'the media' is shaping opinion the way they want it to be.
JUP again!
Yer darned tootin' I am
@MikeADore ! Their rendition of Dixie is not to be missed and A Million Gravel Roads, Uncle Elijah, Hot Rod and Hot & Nasty are also good listens!!! Can I get an Ahhhh-Meeeen?
Now that one I liked........the rest of em, not so much! Of course, Dixie is near and dear to my heart, but they didn't screech through that one lol
Can not fully express my disgust without getting banned here...
my sentiments exactly!! Dunno if I would have thought of it at the time, but I'd have had to have found out where they lived, and went to their house to make coils for him, or give him some......something! Just hideous what they put both of them through and that it will happen many more times to other people!
Knowing it isn't being driven makes my previous comments unnecessary. I do hope though that everyone understands my concern and why.
Sure did, and you're so right. Lawyers troll public media, particularly facebook. Many lawsuits/divorces/job applicants etc have been affected by what people have put on there. But as you said, moot point now that we know it's not being driven.
Most full-service high-volume tire stores will do a quick frontend check for little or nothing. They know what to look for and it doesn't take them very long. Pay for a little rack time and at least you'll know what the problem is... or flash that beguiling smile of yours, bat those eyes a few times - and make sure they know if/when you get it fixed you'll bring it to them... if the service manager is in a good mood - might not cost you anything!
Midas is a good for doing this......at least the ones here.
Has never werked fer moi...
You need a female shop boss to turn that full Iphphy charm on to!!
but floor it at about 50-60mph - and hold on baby!
Jup, olds and lincolns use to be real good for that. My brother had an olds that would stand you on yur ear!
Just checking in. Doree's mom isn't doing well in the nursing home. We are leaving for Deerfield Beach tomorrow morning. Don't think she will last the week. She has stopped eating. Please keep Doree and I in your prayers and I will let you all know we have arrived safely. Damn move ain't never going to happen!
((((((((((((Matt and Doree))))))))))) drive safe and especially watch out for weather, and don't push. I know this trip is the last thing y'all needed right now. Wish y'all could at least take the RV down now, but know you need to make better time than that.
In England they have cars that get over 50mpg , but top end is near 80.
yabbut........only folks the size of your wife or even smaller can fit in em!!!
On a happy note, the picture came today! Geordi's first point!! He wasn't too pleased getting on the platform, thus the tucked tail, but he's going to be stunning when he grows up!! (yea, that's the judge and me behind him, with a fake background...)
View attachment 587361
He's already stunning!!! He's got a great stand despite the tail tuck. So proud of him, and happy for y'all!! The first point of many!!
Hello....
Gotta run now....
dangggg.........that hi and bye went by so quick I got whiplash!!
I'd love to get it all running so I could take some trips!
yeah.......like to come see me!!!

I'm sure you meant shorter trips than that, but a girl can dream can't she?? lol Hope the car issues is something simple and cheap, like not a big enough thingy that someone wuz talkin about. Ok, that came out bad, so shu.... Gary, Iphphy, David, and all the rest! hehehe
Oh, BTW, the "sheeple" are asking the Feds to step in and regulate amusement and water parks now, in the wake of the two accidents (one fatal) in the past two days. Really? 1,100 people
good grief!!! How many are killed or made ill each year by salmonella or other food borne illnesses???? Maybe the FOOD and drug admin should be concerned with that!

Idiots that thing the gov't is concerned with them and their best interests.
Hope all the folks in the path of bad weather stay safe!!!
