Bunny paints pictures with words; I make pictures with people. I hope before you leave today......that you will hear music.

Thanks for the Memories

Big Army vet BUMP!

Great work...again.

Well, ladies, you had a very successful day yesterday!

Here are some caramel pecan pull aparts and snickerdoodles to help you get started today.Keep up the good work.

Thanks so much - polly, caramel pecan pull aparts and snickerdoodles .....Yummmmmm! Mountaineer said she was bringing scones this morning, too!

Gracey, T'wit, mafree, ClancyJ, so many of you who posted after I was offline - thanks so much. We really appreciate you ALL. (I owe some of you some freep mail - please be patient!)

This is great!

Over here!

Here's another pinup (didn't get permission in time to put it in the first thread) :^)

BuffyT
How 'bout THIS one in your lockers, boys?

You and BadJoe are so cute together!

Don't miss your takeoff!

Over here :^)

THANKS FOR THE LEGACY
(To the Bob Hope tune "Thanks For The Memory")

Thanks for the legacy
Of corruption and lies, China on the rise
The cover-ups and mysterious, unexplained suicides
How sleazy it was!

Thanks for the legacy
Of costly gasoline, interns aged eighteen
And oral sex and bombing Czechs and First Lady, the Queen.
How sleazy it was!

Many's the laws that you've broken
And an evil cause is your token
Farewell, go to hell with your pokin'
You're only a bum, your spouse a crumb.

And thanks for the legacy
Of Feds at the door, Richardson the whore
You're nothing but a traitor, and your VP was a bore
No thank you so much

Thanks for the legacy
Of campaign fund abuse, Delta Force gone loose
And sending tanks when Koresh dare ranks, "Reno, the ugly moose"
How sleazy it was!

Thanks for the legacy
Of our missing disk drives, risking all our lives
The friends you scammed, loved ones you damned, giving us the hives
How sleazy it was!

We said get lost with impeachment
And though you escaped for the moment
Public opinion came to ferment
Not Gore, but Bush - so kiss my tush

So thanks for the legacy
And dresses colored blue, haven't you a clue?
And how come all of Elian's little dreams never did come true?
Awf'ly sad we met you - cheerio and toodle-oo
No thank you so much!

Thanks for the memories Billie. I played the song and in my minds eye could see Bob on the stage doing his magic to raise the spirits of our G.I's and my eyes filled with tears over "The Memories". Thank You.

Thanks Billie...another classic.

Low, now I wonder who that song's about? :^) I read a letter to the editor yesterday that went something like this:

"After the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, which killed 6 and injured 1,000, President Clinton promised those responsible would be hunted down and punished. After the 1995 bombing in Saudi Arabia, which killed 5 U.S. military personnel, Clinton promised those responsible would be hunted down and punished. After the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia, which killed 19 and injured 200 U.S. military personnel, Clinton promised those responsible would be hunted down and punished. After the 1998 bombing of two U.S. embassies in Africa, which killed 224 and injured 5,000, Clinton promised those responsible would be hunted down and punished. After the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole, which killed 17 and injured 39 U.S. sailors, Clinton promised those responsible would be hunted down and punished......." You get the picture.

Uncle, I also just love to hear that tune and can see Bob Hope standing there and singing it. I know Bunny has joined him in song on many USO Viet Nam Tours.

It's Bunny's baby, Sync - I supplied the visuals on screen - she supplies them in your minds. Thank you for coming. :^)

I thanked Snow Bunnie yesterday for this effort and now I thank you effusively for doing this. A cyber USO is an idea whose time has arrived. I'll have a cup of coffee and a brownie. Thanks much.

I FORGOT

The recent events of Tuesday, Sept. 11 have brought death and destruction and sadness to so many people around the world. But It DIDN'T HAVE TO BE! Why is it, that all of a sudden we come together as a nation? Why does it take a tragedy of this magnitude to show our solidarity? The pictures from TV of complete strangers hugging each other in the streets of NYC brought tears to my eyes! For one brief moment in time we were truly a nation of one! All racial / ethnic / religious barriers came down! Blacks and whites helping each other Jews and Christians hugging and coming together! Why are we not ALWAYS like this ???? And HOW could we, the strongest country in the world let this happen!
Simply because WE FORGOT! EXACTLY WHAT THE TERRORISTS WANTED!

WHEN OSAMA BIN LADEN: declared a holy war against the US, I thought, what an idiot, then, I FORGOT!

WHEN OSAMA BIN LADEN AND HIS BUDDY, HEZBOLLAH: attacked the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut in 1983 that killed 241 Americans, I thought This sucks! THEN I FORGOT

WHEN OSAMA BIN LADEN: bombed the Jewish cultural center in Argentina in 1994 that killed 95 people, I thought, oh my God this guy should be stopped! But then, I FORGOT!

WHEN OSAMA BIN LADEN: Bombed the World Trade center in 1993 (the first time), that killed 6 people and wounded over 1000, I thought to myself how horrible! Then, I FORGOT!

WHEN OSAMA BIN LADEN: Admitted to the 1995 bombing in Riyadh that killed 5 US servicemen, I thought, OH my God, what a tragedy! THEN I FORGOT!

WHEN OSAMA BIN LADEN: Was named in the June 25, 1996, terrorist truck bombing in Dhahran that killed 19 U.S. airmen, I was outraged! THEN I FORGOT!

WHEN OSAMA BIN LADEN: bombed the U.S. Embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania in 1998, I thought it was so sad, then, I FORGOT!

WHEN OSAMA BIN LADEN: Was prevented from a plot to hijack 12 planes in one day in Algeria, and blow them up, I thought GREAT work FBI! THEN I FORGOT!

WHEN OSAMA BIN LADEN: This past February, renewed his threat of a "jihad" or holy war against the U.S. and, in speaking to an Arabic newspaper, bin Laden said, "We had thought that the Riyadh and al-Khobar blasts were a sufficient signal to sensible U.S. decision-makers to avert a real battle between the Islamic nation and U.S. forces, but it seems that they did not understand the signal." I thought to myself this guy must be stopped! THEN I FORGOT !

WHEN OSAMA BIN LADEN: Sent his "punk ass" henchmen to fly airplanes into the Word Trade Center, killing what will probably be over 10 thousand people, and THEN fly an airplane into the pentagon and kill (NO MURDER) someone so close to me, I PROMISE YOU, I WILL NOT FORGET!

NOW! ITS F*&%&$ing PERSONAL!

Please, Please, Please, if you are reading this, don't look away when they show the airplanes flying into the buildings on TV, look at it over and over again !! Don't stick your head in the sand! Remember how despicable the act was, remember the loss of life, don't shield your children, use restraint, but help them understand it, and remember it! They are our future! You will go back to work, and resume your daily duties, but, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, DON'T EVER FORGET!

I assure you the terrorists around the world are counting on us to! AGAIN! I fear the next time we will see a mushroom cloud on our beautiful horizon! Then it will be too late! All because WE FORGOT !

Maybe one of the reasons we won WW 2 , was because everyone.............................REMEMBERED PEARL HARBOR !

______________________________________________________________________________________________
There are American sailors and soldiers on ships, in aircraft and on the ground fighting to keep America safe. These servicemen and women don't want to be fighting the Afghans. They would much rather be home, like us with our families, our husbands, our boyfriends, our girlfriends, our wives and children. At night we sleep safely in our homes because of them.

President Bush is wrong! Don't go back to "life as normal"
Don't Forget who is protecting us, AMERICAN military troops!

Before you go to sleep, everynight, say a prayer that they will be able to avoid the dangers of WAR and come home to us, so that we may thank them.

Thanks Billie. This is a great thread. I've bookmarked it to enjoy later when I have more time. You are awesome.

I accept your thanks graciously and I'll pour the coffee. :^)

I'm glad you posted that again, B4. And I love the flag (I think you posted it on the other two threads) and "These Colors Don't Run".

These Colors Don't Run!

Do your to keep America's service men and women as PROUD OF AMERICA as we are of them.
