The above link is a modern-day organization for getting youth involved in martime activities.

From the site:

At the request of the Department of the Navy, the Navy League of the United States established the USNSCC in 1962 to “create a favorable image of the Navy on the part of American youth”.

Today’s U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps continues to further the image of our maritime services by adhering to a standardized training program designed to:

Develop an interest and ability in seamanship and seagoing skills

Instill virtues of good citizenship and strong moral principles in each cadet

Demonstrate the value of an alcohol-free, drug-free and gang-free lifestyle

Expose cadets to the prestige of public service and a variety of career paths through hands-on training with our nation’s armed services

Indeed, she should!

I know I’ll be grabbing one tomorrow. :-) Have to go to the vet to pick up some medicine for one of the cats and DQ isn’t much out of the way at all. Mmm, mmm, mmm.

Have to settle for M&Ms tonight. LOL! Always have those on hand.

Mmmmm....m&ms!

That just reminded me that my hubby needs to pick me up a bag since I just took the last bunch to work last week. We get the BIG bag from Sam’s and I take a smaller zip-lock...minus the blue ones....to keep in my locker. Chuck a few in my cheeks and I’m ready for anything the customers can dish out! :)

I grab a handful of the “sharing size” bags when I go to Wally World for cat litter and dry cat food and toss them on the desk. When the bag in my purse runs out, I throw another one in. And there’s always a bunch to nibble on when at the computer.

Choc-o-holic. LOL

This month has been cloudy & cool — but I’m not complaining. The longer I can put of the AC, the better. Actually, the weather will start getting warmer by end of this week.

Well now, this choc-o-holic’s drooling a bit thinking about the Blizzard she can’t have because it’s the middle of the night. LOL!

No men today. Yesterday they were climbing the trees and/or cutting them down.

My sister said last week she was really agitated about the trees being cut down across the street as one was going to fall on our house.

They seem to be getting worse...maybe because her hearing is getting worse.

Today has been rough.

To: left that other site

Thanks for the prayers...I’m learning to just walk away instead of pointing out no one is there. Almost everything is becoming an argument....

One day at a time.

Kittehs are a little calmer but they still feel the moon a bit.

I figured you must have the day off since you were up so late. Hope it’s a day of relaxation rather than chores. :-)

Good night and sleep well.

It’s sounded like it’s getting worse because you’ve mentioned she’s been seeing all these things more often. Can’t be fun for her and it certainly isn’t for you.

I’d hoped the petunias would occupy her mind enough she wouldn’t “see” anything today and give you a break.
