A group of women were at a seminar on how to live in a loving
relationship with your husband. The women were asked, “How many of… you love your
husband?” All the women raised their hands.
Then they were asked, “When was the last time you told your husband you
loved him?” Some women answered today, a few yesterday, and some couldn’t
remember. The women were then told to take out their cell phones and text
their husband: “I love you, sweetheart.”
The women were then told to exchange phones with another person, and to
read aloud the text message they received, in response.
Here are some of the replies:
1. Who the hell is this?
2. Eh, mother of my children, are you sick or what?
3. Yeah, and I love you too. What’s up with you??
4. What now? Did you wreck the car again?
5. I don’t understand what you mean?
6. What the ___ did you do now?
7. You’re kidding, right ?
8. Don’t beat about the bush; just tell me how much you need?
9. Am I dreaming?
10. If you don’t tell me who this message is actually for, someone will
die.
11. I thought we agreed you wouldn’t drink during the day. (my favorite)
12. Your mother is coming to stay with us, isn’t she???

Since I’m on the road, I’ll have a quiet dinner with a few cousins tonight. I would ask that you remember the veterans in your family, and thank them for their service.
To my fellow veterans. I still remember the day I said these words:
“I, (State Your Name), do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.”
As has been stated many times, I have never been relieved of that oath.
One other thing you might do is consider this-
The Veterans History Project of the American Folklife Center collects, preserves, and makes accessible the personal accounts of American war veterans so that future generations may hear directly from veterans and better understand the realities of war.
Link is HERE.
Of note, this is available to ALL veterans, regardless of rank or service. It’s a chance for the ‘little people’ to be heard, not just the commanders. If you know a WWI, Korea, Vietnam or GWI or GWOT vet, get them to participate. Let us leave a legacy for the following generations.
The Marines are 239 years young… Not bad for a bunch that started in a bar…
Ten Hut!
Hand Salute!
Ready, Two…
Our own DaddyBear has published his first book!
It’s available on Amazon HERE!
I was very honored to be asked to Beta read this one, and DB has done an excellent job of ‘getting it on paper’…
Humor, life lessons through the eyes of a barbarian (yes there are some), and just plain entertaining reading!
Highly recommended!!!
Not so much…
Back on track, and we’re back with the Army.
This one is different, in that it’s a picture of a Sergeant ‘leading’ troops over the top.
He’s carrying a Garand, with an M1905 bayonet, and it looks like probably mid-war period items. I’m not an expert on the equipment, so I could be wrong.
This was done by the Army Recruiting Publicity Bureau, and I can’t find much more information than that.
Is playing my song… again…
Tying in work and a little down time. Go read the folks on the sidebar, the ice cream machine is in the shop for cleaning!
Light blogging/commenting all week.
You don’t see me…
I’m invisible…
Just a bump on the tree…
Nothing to see, move along…
Snerk…
That little sucker didn’t move and I just stood there for probably a minute, until he finally ‘looked’ at me, chittered, and hauled ass up the tree…LOL
So I was, shall we say ‘bitching’ about how the week was going yesterday…
Yesterday afternoon I get a call from an old friend, down from Indiana. So we agree to meet for dinner.
At dinner we’re catching up and I ask why he didn’t come by the office. His answer floored me…
He said, “F… it, I retired two months ago.”
My jaw hit the table at that. Last year he’d been very proud of the fact he was promoted to a branch head, and a good chance to move further up the food chain this year. After I picked up my jaw, I asked him WTF? Family or?
His comment, “Hostile work environment.”
Uhhh. Say whut?
He told me, “I told an individual to go do his job, and he filed a complaint against me for promoting a hostile work environment! HR told me I had to apologize and that I couldn’t supervise the individual anymore, even though he was on our ‘team’. I told HR it would be a cold day in hell, and I put my papers in the next day. That was three months ago.”
I just shook my head. This PC crap IS killing us, and not slowly either…
And did anybody else catch BO’s ‘response’ to the mid-terms today?
He was commenting on the election results and said (paraphrase) To everyone that voted I hear you, to the 2/3 that did not participate I also hear you.
Soooo… In his extended remarks he implied that the 2/3 that did not vote were essentially supporting his existing policies so he need not reconsider anything new nor take any credit for the trouncing.
However just prior to the election on Meet the Press he stated that elections mean things and every vote counts. But the context of that thought was associated with saying if the voters reject the Republican takeover of the Senate then it meant for Republicans to sit down and shut up and for him to press on.
So using his logic, no matter what the vote it supports his conviction to change nothing because that is what the people are telling him by voting or not voting.
Or am I just totally screwed up???
