Where Did All The Old Timers Go, A Public Meeting Place For Open Discussion

Greensman and his sweetie!

 

Amen gerry.

As Vietnam era vet, who was never exposed to danger, much of this rings true to me and all of it to the brave souls fighting or patrolling anywhere away from home. A very big "Hooaahhh" and the safe return of all of them.

Edit And Ireland ye should have posted it. Hope your're doing fine.

And I got this yesterday. Check it out. Get out your hanky.

HOOOOAAAAHHH

enough said, that says it all....
god bless ya gerry.
glad to say i know ya garmoon, thank you for your time served. I Salute you.....

 

My thoughts and best wishes have always been directed to those that serve within the forces. As we are all aware, it is their courage, determination and absolute sacrifice that we can call ourselves free. A great DEBT of grattitude cannot be dismissed. Here's to the men and women that keep us safe from those elements that would harm us all. If I may quote from a movie......it goes someting like this......

"you need people like me on the wall" (which movie was it guys?)

Hint......Jack Nicholson.

This thought or statement may be uncomfortable to some, but isn't it close to the truth?

Is it also true that the pen is mightier than the sword?

When penmanship and protocol fails, then a call to arms may never be the best solution. It is in my opinion when options fail, that we defend and defend all that are sympathetic (allies) to the course of action needed, to bring about the neccessary outcome that has a beneficial need of the many and not the few.. This may seem kinda pias to some, but when push comes to shove........ count me in.

Gerry you have stated in past posts that you were/are involved in eclesiastic studys, I sincerely hope any and all comments that I make do not affend you and yours (beside the bad spelling of eclesiastic, please post the correct wording).

All the best buddy..

And to all that have served and to those that continue to do so......my everlasting grattitude for efforts and said sacrifices. Without you, our thoughts and prayers may come to nought. Kind for kind and blood for blood. The phrase "bothers in arms" was never coined for nothing...

My heart yearns for better times to come.......... I shed tears for times past.

 

I've Got Your Back!

I am a small and precious child, my Dads been sent to fight...
The only place I'll see his face, is in my dreams late at night.
He will be gone far too many days For my young mind to keep track.
I may be sad, but I am proud.
Because My Daddy's got your back.......

I am a caring mother.
My son has gone to war...
My mind is filled with worries
That I have never known before
Everyday I try to keep
my thoughts from turning black.
I may be scared, but I am proud.
Because My son has got your back......

I am a strong and loving wife, with a husband soon to go.
There are times I'm terrified in a way most will never know.
I bite my lip, and force a smile as I watch my husband pack...
My heart may break to pieces, but I am proud.
Because My husbands got your back......

I am a Marine, Soldier, Sailor & Airman......Serving Proudly, Standing Tall.
I fight for Freedom, Yours and Mine by answering this call.
I do my job while knowing, the thanks it sometimes lacks.
Please Say a prayer that I'll come home soon.
Because it's me who's got your back.....

Lp531......

Are you saying that all you have to do is to cry out and be saved? Perhaps we have progressed and no longer need those childlike warmths? Are these times long past for you and I? Me thinks the answer is sometimes yes and sometimes..........?

 

Good morning all! Well, I just woke up. I went to read the stuff above but I'm to brain dead upon awaking to read it ... I thought my head was going to explode trying to read it so I'll wait an hour or two when I'm a little more intellectually able (I know, a rare occurance indeed, but it does happen for a very brief period of time in the mornings)LOL!

 

One of the rare photos of greensman in his wedding dress. LOL

 

Obviously greensman had his Wedding on the Course to save money...Hey greensman what hole is that picture taken on buddy?.ROFL...

 

OK, ha ha, funny funny.

Good evening .............

 

LMAO PACMAN!!!

 

Great one pacman

greensman will have to consider posting their offspring's pictures. Do the kids take after you or the little hubby. LMFAO :

 

I'm back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Greensman got him a Hottie!!!

 

Damm, there goes the neighborhood (again)
Welcome back Sauggie.

 

Garmoon
Since greensman said he was a person of noticable stature, I knew greensman couldn't be the diminutive lad on the right. LOL In answer to Lp531's question, I'll bet the wedding took place after a lengthy assault on the 19th hole. LOL

 

onya A Few Good Men very well said. Sorry just catching up.Demi Moores attributes did look good in dress whites! Chris

 

Ah, I love it when I start something

Good morning all! I took the day off today to do some things around the house which I probably won't do anyway. Lord, if procrastination were a virtue, I'd be first among the saints!

CNN just had this little piece about how Americans use twice the amount of toilet paper per sitting than the Brits. I suppose there are some seriously disgusting conclusions on both parts of that comparison, LOL! My question is, who pays for these thought provoking studies? Perhaps the U.S. military has some use for toilet paper that we're unaware of .. like the time they spent millions studying why frisbees fly?

Oh well, I've been up for three whole hours; time for a nap!

 

I suspect someone has to be a bit anal to conduct potty paper research. LOL

 

I'm still bidding for the franchise for the government to supply the $200 hammers and toilet seats.

On the toilet paper issue, "Walters and Johnson" broached the subject on their a.m. radio show. They said that since Americans tend to be fatter than our European ancestors, that the area wipeage was a lot larger for the Yanks, thus requiring more square footage. The song "Baby Got Back" immediately came to mind. I even heard that Sheryl Crow thinks that 1 or 2 leaves should be ample for all wipeages. LMFAO

 

LMAO. Hows the family going Saugmon? Betcha Kinzie is runnin' around faster than you ever thought. Any more surprises on the way Gary?

Cheers.
