Thanks, Mac, for the Missing Man Setting as we remember those who have given their all that we may gather safe and secure.

[Kathy in Alaska]

A nap.....sounds like a wonderful idea. d:o)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Great graphic, Luv....

Honoring All Who Served.

[luvie]

Thank you! Guess you got home without doing donuts on the roads. :)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Safely home, but I had to put up with a few pickup tailgaters. The “darted” around, a little slip n slide, and I still met them at the signal. I love it! d:o)

Now I have to drive in it in the morning, back to court.

[luvie]

Hope they get that trial over sooner rather than later! Ugh!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Me too!! We get 4 Floating Holidays...use or lose by year’s end. I saved mine to use the 4 Friday’s in December. I might have jury duty this Friday. We are moving to the new building next Friday, and over the weekend. I am NOT losing my earned holidays. I will be taking a couple Thursdays off if I have to work Fridays. GRRRR!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good morning/afternoon/evening/night Troops, wherever you are.

Thank you for doing your part to help keep all of us free and safe.

Thanks, unique, for the pastries.

Coffee is always on........

Cookies?

Veggies?

Snacks?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good morning Ma ((HUGS))
Sorry it's turning out to be
a crappy week for you...
jury-wise and weather-wise.
Just think, Friday is almost here
and you'll have some down time.

A little Trivia for you...
it was revealed this morning that
Marylanders have the worst (best?) potty mouths
(cause of those @$#%@#$$#% rude drivers) hehe
but are 3rd in line for most courteous. Go figure. LOL

Big problems with Lynn-Dah’s aft end. Massive infection and lots of nastiness. I have to get this cleared up B4 going to Boston.

All the money I saved up for the trip will go to fixing up this mess.
(sigh)

[luvie]

I sure hope you get your days off. Jury duty is one of those “privileges” that is more a pain in the tush! Will your boss let you take the Thursdays as a substitute? Some wouldn’t.

[luvie]

This is my face when I went out into
a breezy wind chill factor of 17*!
...in my jammies...EEK!
And snow on the way! (prolly not much though)
How fun for the drivers who like to live on the edge!
Hope it's warmer where you are!
I guess winter is finally here!
Hope you Early Birds have a quiet Thursday!
((((hugs))))

An Indian for your favorite Indian? LOL!
