Hi All!!! Lot's of rain and flooding. Rescue work keeping us on short shifts. In the meantime, y'all keep safe.

Howdy, Conor! (((hugs)))

Good to see you, too, Early Bird! How is the breathing nowadays? Hope better!

Hi, Wanted to pass this on!

U.S. Marine Sgt. Monica Perez, of San Diego, left, helps Lance Cpl. Mary Shloss of Hammond, Ind. put on her head scarf before heading out on a patrol with Golf Company, 2nd Batallion, 3rd Regiment of the 2nd MEB, 2nd MEF, in the village of Khwaja Jamal in the Helmand Province of Afghanistan. Perez and Shloss are members of the Female Engagement Team whose mission is to engage with local Afghan women. On Thursday, Feb. 9, 2012, Pentagon rules will catch up a bit with reality, recommending to Congress that women be formally allowed to serve in more jobs closer to the front lines.

But...I thought it was “Lions and tigers and bears oh, MY”. But what do I know. LOL!

Gotta watch for them wily Sandrats Luvie! :)

[ConorMacNessa]

Breathing seems to be better today - pain has subsided to a great extent. Had an arduous PT session tonight. Tomorrow morning I see the pulmonologist for a follow-up.

A police recruit was asked during the exam, "What would you do if you hasd to arrest your own mother?" His answer without hesitation, "Call for back-up!"

[luvie]

Ahhhhh....was it a trick question? hmmm!

[ConorMacNessa]

SUPPORT OUR TROOPS!

Tattoo

Must retire – the 0500 Reveille approaches relentlessly – the bugler already mounts the parapet. Will chat with you all on the morrow.

Good night, God bless you, and God bless the United States of America!

Godspeed our Troops around the Globe – especially those in harm’s way – by virtue of their service and sacrifice we continue to live in Freedom!

That is good to hear that your breathing is better. Prayers
for you to continue to improve daily!

Nite, Early Bird! See ya in the morning over tea! :) (or coffee! LOL)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Sand...((HUGS))...a wise recruit. LOL!

[SandRat]

((HUGS)) Kathy. Thought the Canteen would like that one. lol

[The Mayor]

Thank you Ma’am!

[BIGLOOK]

Aloha West Texas Rose and Connie!

No, don't have one in the yard and don't think I'd really want one. Prima Vera is a giant tree; there's one at the Forestry Dept that's at least 80' tall and when it blooms (which should be about now), it can be seen from a mile away. The ones I saw today were smaller, along Bay Front ad much less spectacular. Tomorrow I'll swing by to see the one at the FD.

[luvie]

Hi, Big Guy! (((hugs)))

That one in the picture looked quite tall. Do they smell as good as they look? :)
