nah I dont hate anyone.... :)
Well, if you want to, post it here, ping the admin moderator with your request, and let them know what you want. Or, under each post, there is a report abuse link, that's a direct post to them, just tell them what you want. I know it says 'abuse', but many threads I've read they say,, use it for generic requests as well. From all accounts, they're pretty reasonable if you're respective. If you don't want to do it, I'd be more than happy to be your proxy. Let me know.
YOu're a good man, fyi, my hubby is mike.
Finally caught up.
Now we wait.
all Mikes are good in my book :)
Thank you...I certainly try but certain that I fall short sometimes....
Html tricks to make a pic smaller.

did you want to lose the stryker brigade? (I kind of like it) Sorry to beat the dead horse, he makes a good target though.....
I hear you. I've done it a couple times on really terrible trolls. You know, the gross ones.
I understand, not everyone can be perfect like me. Oh boy, going to regret I hit the post button......
You're handy. I think I'll keep you around! ;^)
All hail the mighty Mods!
Told you earlier on this thread, I'm a geeky engineer. Sidenote..... First time I ever turned on a computer was to program it. Glad I'm a keeper tho.... *VBG* I always did get along with the nerds....
This thread is going to be very popular. As soon as word gets out it's a personal story thread, just watch it take off.
That's why I suggested the name change, you want a bigger audience than 6-8 people. You should start thread two now that you've changed the name, it's scolled off the latest everything list.
It's rough being a girl in this business, similar to being a female soldier I suspect.
You seem to be handling thing fine!
LOL
its ok
Please take this in the way it is intended...
Women in Uniform are HOT!
