Job well done, Captain Or Na'aman!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Luv...Always a soldier!

We will ALWAYS remember.

[radu]

Yep, 80s sound might fine to us at this point. It’s been a loooooooong hot summer and we’re ready for a break.

I heard about the deal this afternoon while I was out and about. Heard about it on the radio.

Ooooh, I’m sorry to hear about your friends’ son. Tragic. It’s bad enough he died young but knowing he died alone must weigh on them. One of Hubby’s cousins died the same way - - heart attack and alone - - and it bothered us for a long time. My deepest sympathies for them.

Meany! LOL! But if she seems happy enough in the bathroom .....
Might be a good idea to wait until the bandage comes off and you can see how well the incision has healed before putting her outside. Keep in mind those kittens will try to nurse and you don’t want them to tear it open.

I hope your friend has luck finding homes for the kittens. Adorable as they are, you have enough kittehs already.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Glad to hear kitty is doing well. She isn’t gonna want to go back outside. How are your kids doing with her?

[Kathy in Alaska]

When it comes to our troops....Leno is a keeper.

Thanks, ExTex. ((HUGS))

[Kathy in Alaska]

Neat that you have a friend that might be able to find homes for the kittens. Now you have to figure out how to catch them. Maybe mom cat will help them get close to you.

Prayers of peace for your friends.

[luvie]

She does seem to be getting mighty comfortable in the house where there is AC, but my kids haven’t seen her and barely know she’s there. She never meows. But she sure can purr loudly when I go in to talk to her and pet her. LOL!

I hope my friend can help me with the kittens. I think we can get hold of them if we bribe them with food. We’d have to be quick, though. But I have touched and stroked them when they were eating. They are focused then. :)

[E.G.C.]

A very pleasant good Thursday morning to everyone at the Canteen and to all our military at home and abroad. Thanks for your service to our country.

((HUGS))Good morning, Ladies. How's it going?

[radu]

Peace and quiet, A/C, and no big kittens harassing her. What’s not to like? LOL! And gettin’ some lovin’ is a bonus.

Love on those kittens as much as you can before your friend picks them up. Get them used to being touched so they won’t be totally freaked out.

Guess I’d better scoot. I wasn’t paying attention to the time and it’s later than I thought. Republican women’s meeting in the morning so I need to hit the hay.

Catch y’all tomorrow evening.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good night and rest well, radu

I'm on my way, too.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good morning, E...((HUGS))...happy hunting.

You and Gizmo have a wonderful Thursday.

[Kathy in Alaska]

wh!!

Tanks, unique.

radu.....#50!!

[beachn4fun]

Just popping in to say hello
and to thank Ma for posting today's thread.
I'll see (some of) y'all tonight.

[left that other site]

Oh yes! I LOVE my new roof! :-)

[NFHale]

Pretty damned heartwarming, Tex... thank you!

Leno is a good, decent man. And that soldier and his family’s life is a little easier.

[Publius]

No, “Gettysburg” is movie just like “Gods and Generals.” They even carried over some of the cast. Jeff Daniels played Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain of the 20th Maine in both movies.

[luvie]

He did an excellent job of playing Washington in The Crossing.

[luvie]

Sort of me this morning. LOL!
But...I've had my tea now.
I think I'm gonna make it!
Is the East Coast still getting lots of rain?
Guess you know I'm jealous! :)
It was good to read that you got rain, Kathy!
I totally know how you feel.
All y'all have a Fantastic Friday Eve!
(((hugs)))

“But...I’ve had my tea now.”
