Hi, HG!

I'm the reformed Miss Pippin! :^)

[Pippin]

Hey, Cap!

I wanna make peace with you!

[jwfiv]

May I intercede on behalf of First Mate Pippin?

As it is her assigned duty to both whine, as well as clean the bilge, may I suggest that she is guilty only of discharging said duty in a manner that might be deemed, shall we say, overzealous?

I mean, when you ask a Warrior Hobbit to whine, then she's gonna WHINE till the cows come home.

Should the Captain not find my argument persuasive, then I request his permission to stand in her stead so that, chastened though she be, no physical harm may come about through keel hauling.

That water looks awful cold, and those aren't dolphins I see riding the bow wave.

Mercy, I plead, for the Sailor from the Shire.

Ship's life takes a bit of getting used to sometimes!

:) Hey there New York!!

HEAT WAVE !!!!

LOL ! Yep. Oh, and I was wrong this morning in my first reply about our sleet.

I checked the FRONT yard, which has several trees in it, and found ~1/2" of sleet covering the sidewalk. But when I opened the garage door in the back side of the house, I see that we actually DID get 3" of sleet. I checked it on the driveway and on the yard too. If I've ever seen that much sleet in one storm, it's been a LONG time.

The high today is supposed to be only about 27 degrees and stay below freezing all day tomorrow too. They are saying on the radio that we may be in for another round of precipitation late tonight too. So we have about 2 more days of winter in front of us it appears ...

Afternoon ALL. Congrats you two wonderful FReepers, you ROCK

[Pippin]

Thanks, JW!

I knew someone would speak for me!

[LadyX]

'Tis noble ye be, Sailor from the Shire, and humblegunner is correct some slack might be allowed.

(Note: be more selective when shanghai screening new crew members,)

[Pippin]

Thanks, HG!

[MeekOneGOP]

LOL ! Funny/cute animation...and thanks !

[Pippin]

I'm glad I won't be sent back to the Shire in shame!

[Warrior Nurse]

Thanks to all the folks that I had dinner with at CPAC. Who says kindred spirits don't exist. That is not true, Nutmeg, Free the Hostages and Zelig etc. This is why I fight for you guys.

Just keep praying for our President that he may prevail.
The race isn't given to the swift or to the strong but to he that can endure. But if I was a betting man I would go with the swift and strong.

The time is growning near when we are going to start putting warheads on their foreheads. Don't loose hope when flag drapped coffin's are plastered over the TV. We will hold firm.

When I was working in the ER at Portsmouth Naval and the survivors of the USS Cole came told us thank you. I was really moved when those hero's thanked us who were here at home for believing in them. That was pretty moving indeed.

I am the son of a war hero and that maybe why I serve, because my dad didn't have a choice I did. I have met some great people and traveled throughout the world. The only place I would fight for is the good ole USofA.

In my role as the Medical Training Officer I have this quote hanging on my shingle. "Let's be damned sure that no man's ghost's will ever say if your training program had done its job."

Gotta be careful when crewin' yer barge with Freepers...they be an ornery lot, prone to an independent course of action, and favorin' free thoughts...aye, that they be.

[FreeTheHostages]

Well, it's not like I'm volunteering to plant a dead link, but it does seem to be my fate. LOL! In this case, what could I have linked to without linking everywhere? 'Cause Nutmeg is *everywhere* -- LOL. She's on serious patrol at this place.

[Billie]

Good afternoon, Gail. That is the most beautiful graphic, and I'm thinking it might just be perfect for ladtx' next essay. Thank you for posting it here today!

[Billie]

Thank you, Warrior Nurse, for that beautiful post, and thank you for serving our country. You are in our prayers.

[Billie]

That's good - we miss you and we're thinking about you.

[Billie]

Afternoon, FRiends - thanks for coming to say hello to nutmeg and zelig. Now if only nutmeg and zelig would get here! :)

[FreeTheHostages]
