A domesticated horse's diet does not allow for even wear of its teeth, creating sharp ridges on the sides. The process to smooth the ridges is called floating, and requires a special tool attached to a drill. U.S. Army photo by Amanda Kim Stairrett

Good evening, Kathy!

*HUGS*

Thanks very much for tonight's Remembering Out Troops thread! Just got back from PT - an arduous session! How are things with you today? Isn't this your big push?



Nos genuflectitur ad non princeps sed Princeps Pacem!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Yes, Wednesday’s are the big day. We got the checks printed on time, but I had so many corrections I didn’t have time to make all of them. So far none will starve if they have to wait til their next check. Of the 3 I’ve identified so far, 2 were submitted wrong.

Did you pass your PT tests? Your back feeling any better?

I am off for home!

Oh my...one of the Moms was really evil to me about her kid (and she fired me)

Everybody else LOVED the recital, so she was in a minority of one. Which is a REALLY slim minority, right?

The ankle is much better, thank you.

[ConorMacNessa]

Back's not bad tonight, thanks! PT went pretty well.

Safe Journey Home!

....till they ALL come home.......

[Kathy in Alaska]

Made it home, but had to sit in construction traffic. I think it is time to try an alternate route. I’ll miss seeing the daily change, but I hate sitting.

Glad the back is not so bad.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Nana Hope, for today's Pledge…((HUGS)). Thanks, AfghanMan and Penguin Girl, for your service to America.

That’s a much nicer way to find out than by killing a Wabbit.

Especially On Warm and fuzzy Wednesday!
