The FR Canteen is Free Republic's longest running daily thread
specifically designed to provide entertainment and moral support for the military.
The doors have been open since Oct 7 2001,
the day of the start of the war in Afghanistan.
We are indebted to you for your sacrifices for our Freedom.
On the one hand, I'm thankful that I don't have to drive anywhere near the bridge over the Narrows to get to work. On the other, I hear it was quite a view watching the ships sailing today. One coworker wanted to just stop and watch and skip work.
Shoulda made a detour...
And you too, Hotmetal...prayers for your safety and success of mission in Afghanistan. Stay safe!!
The smell at an overflowing garbage landfill site became a growing public concern. So workers installed high-pressured deodorant guns to counteract the smell. The cannons could spray several gallons of fragrance a minute over a distance of up to 50 yards across the mounds of putrefying garbage. However, no matter how many gallons of deodorant are sprayed to mask the odorous rubbish, the fragrance will serve only as a coverup until the source of the stench is removed.
King David tried a coverup as well. After his adultery with Bathsheba, he attempted to use silence, deceit, and piety to mask his moral failures (2 Sam. 11–12). In Psalm 32 he talks about experiencing the intense convicting hand of God when he remained silent (vv.3-4). Unable to withstand the conviction any longer, David uncovered his sin by acknowledging, confessing, and repenting of it (v.5). He no longer needed to cover it because God forgave him.
It’s futile to try to hide our sin. The stench of our disobedience will seep through whatever we use to try to cover it. Let’s acknowledge to God the rubbish in our hearts and experience the fresh cleansing of His grace and forgiveness.
Read: Psalm 32:1-5

Making Z Zoup
A pinch of this...a dash of that...
A pea jacket is actually a "jacket jacket."
The "pea" part of its name is from the Dutch word pij,
which is a sailor's garment.
Despite their finickiness,
an average cat consumes about 127,750 calories a year,
nearly 28 times their own weight in food
and the same amount again in liquids.
In case you were wondering,
cats cannot survive on a vegetarian diet.
A dog's nose has over 200 scent receiving cells.
A day on the planet Mercury
is twice as long as its year.
Mercury rotates very slowly
but revolves around the Sun in slightly less than 88 days.
I've got to make my rounds and then get to work.
Today is my last work day for the next 6 days.
So I have lots to do before leaving today.
Not to worry, I'll be back and I have the thread to post tonight
and can stay a little later than norm.
Please stay.
Keep the troops entertained and the Canteen clean...
Cause...if you don't...I'll tell Ma!
Come in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, tea,
pancakes, conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS
PLEASE REMEMBER THEM ....
