[MS.BEHAVIN]

Just a drive by post to say “hi.”
It has been a very tough week.
Alot of pain, and I couldn’t get it under control.
Doc ordered an MRI of my lower spine and left hip,
and they are concerned about the left sided weakness I am having.
Also, Miriam is back in the hospital, in Intensive Care.
They are worried about her heart at this point, and I do not believe her prognosis is good.

Rough sledding, you know?
I’m beat and heading for bed.
Love and miss you all.
I hope to be here this weekend to play music and hang out.
We’ll see how it goes.
Much Love,
Ms.B

[Publius]

After that, all I can say is:

((HUG))

Miss ya.

[luvie]

Howdy, Sis! ((((hugs))))

I’ve missed you! Prayers for your MRI and for Miriam. May
she find comfort and strength at this dire time.

See ya this weekend! :)

Never Forget Those Who Sacrificed All That We Could Live In Freedom!!

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

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)

[BIGLOOK]

Aloha West Texas Rose!

A little anger management is what you need right now, not too much, as matter of fact very little. Let them dig their hole.

We're not supposed to speak of such matters here but WTH, ain't much else going round is there? So bombs away......



(Oh, that's just to help with the hole in a bipartisan act of faith.)

[ConorMacNessa]

This surprises me not at all - it confirms their culpability as much as an outright confession.



Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

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)

[ConorMacNessa]

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS!


TATTOO
(Click)

Must retire – the 0500 0430 Reveille approaches relentlessly. Our Taskmasters vex us with an ever-increasing burden of work. They have sequestered us in a remote chamber known only as “The Land of the Lost”, which bears a banner over the lintel stating:

“ABANDON ALL HOPE, YE WHO ENTER HERE!”

They stand and mutely watch over us as we toil hour upon hour without respite.

The Bugler, their minion, his grim visage replete with an evil sneer, already mounts the parapet.

If I can escape their iron grip, I’ll chat with you all on the morrow. I can say no more – they approach!

Do poor Tom some charity, whom the foul fiend vexes!

---

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!

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

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)

Aloha Doc!

You're much closer to the circus show that's performing now, more than I'd ever want to be. How are the ring side seats there?

Get some rest and we'll chat over the cocont wireless soon.
