FReeper Canteen - Scuttlebutt

To: ConorMacNessa; BIGLOOK

Well, last year you and the Big guy cleaned me out for $20 to the FR coffers.

How about a $10 wager (monopoly money, of course), no points given, on the winner of the Army-Navy game; loser increases FR coffers?!

Rainy and cold here - the rain has passed but the cold is settling in. I'm amazed that we haven't really had a hard freeze yet this year.

Hi Kathy!

I hope you're getting a tan during the last days of your vacation.

Watch out for those TSA guys on Friday!..:=)

A sawbuck sounds good to me - I am going in for knee replacement on the 13th and will be out of work until New Year's - can't afford to put anymore at risk than that. Of course, I'm not really putting it at risk since the Middies will clean the collective clocks of your beloved Black Knights! :)

Hey...running into friends & having good conversation serendipitously is good news!

I had an online coverstaion with a Marine in the Hellmand province last night...that made my heart sing.

Speaking of jeeps...I see they made a jeep to coinside with the video game Black Ops.

Why thank you Connie, I sure will. It was warm today 36F. It was 25 below last week... Yikes. We put out a tray of water to see how long it would take to freeze for fun. We are warm and cozy, we stay inside!

You do have a charmed life Diana but you built it yourself through lots of work & toil I’d imagine.

Hummmm...I guess I’ve never heard of a ‘paperwhite’.
