Seriously, from a perspective of having worked with pert near every group in the government and the military that uses weapons, the Marines were always a pleasure to deal with. They always had OUTSTANDING attitudes and were very quick to pick up on the training, and they were by far the politest folks I ever saw (Senior NCO's, including even our AF ones, were actually treated with respect, even by their officers).

And now I'll go and hide, especially from LadyX...

**So I guess getting off the computer, walking around, lugging a 20 Lb back pack seems to be the trick to weight loss. **

Two words: rolling backpack

[SassyMom]

Hey, Clara! I hope you have a good day today!

[Jen]

Spookie, I'm so sorry you are not feeling well. I understand completely! Here's some new toys for you that I hope will put a smile on your face. Snag whichever ones you want. {{{NHH}}} Jen

[Jen]

Well, it's about time! I'd better lay one on you quickly before you go get "dressed." hehehehehe

Jen (still homophobic after all these threads...)

ROTFLMAO!!!!

"And now I'll go and hide, especially from LadyX..."

Duly noted, Ret..:)))

I do take exception to this, though, because of one thing.
When I was a classroom subjects instructor at Parris Island, I DID bring the levels for time for the test down from three weeks to two... LOLOL

[Sir Gawain]

The CIA had an opening for an assassin. After all of the
background checks, interviews, and testing were done there were three
finalists, two men and a woman.

For the final test, the CIA agents took one of the men to a large
metal door and handed him a gun. "We must know that you will follow
our instructions, no matter what the circumstances.
Inside this room, you will find your wife sitting in a chair.
Kill her. The man said, "You can't be serious. I could never shoot my
wife." The agent said, "Then you're not the right man for this job."

The second man was given the same instructions. He took the gun
and went into the room. All was quiet for about five minutes. Then the
man came out with tears in his eyes. "I tried, but I can't kill my wife."
The agent said, "You don't have what it takes. Take your wife and go
home."

Finally, it was the woman's turn. She was given the same
instructions, to kill her husband. She took the gun and went into the
room. Shots were heard, one shot after another. They heard screaming,
crashing,
banging on the walls. After a few minutes, all was quiet.
The door opened slowly and there stood the woman. She wiped the
sweat from her brow and said, "You guys didn't tell me the gun was
loaded with blanks. I had to beat him to death with the chair."

Hi Sassy! Yes, I do feel better today than I did yesterday. Body still hurts, but I don't have a throbbing headache!!! Yay! Thanks for your concern, dear FRiend.

I have to go to court today regarding the trouble my son has gotten himself into. :-( I hope he'll be able to come home afterward and that this experience has been enough to make him change his behavior and choice of friends. I think he's seen the light, but we shall see. The stress of this situation is the major factor in how I've been feeling recently. Stess is the number one trigger for my fibro.

Gentle {{{NHH}}} for you!! Jen

[habs4ever]

Good morning Clara :-)

[AFCATMRet]

Thoughts are with you, Jen. Keep the faith, sweetie.
