Was I supposed to follow up?

[ally]

the mention of "good oil massage" usually gets some kind of comment like that from me, sorry!

[xerocs]

Yes... but is that a good response or bad?

[ally]

good, what could possibly be bad about a good oil massage????

[xerocs]

Have you seen Van Wilder?

[ally]

no. should i?

[xerocs]

There is a part of the movie where this exchange student is giving this extremely hot girl a massage with oil... and he sets her on fire...

That is about the only bad thing I could think of in an oil massage... well that and clothing....

[daverbee]

An oil massage with clothing sounds counterproductive...
Glad to know you're OK.
Did Sally's package ever arrive?

[xerocs]

no packages yet...:(

[xerocs]

[red]

How are your ears doing?

[xerocs]

They are still ringing and swollen... I have to go back to the hospital today....

I might just spend the day in bed.... they gave me the day off but it is depressing...

[lapietra]

Awww jeez... poor sweetheart...

Well... at least you have all your limbs :) And your ears will very likely be just fine soon. Huming beans are *very* resilient. ;)

[xerocs]

I am going back to bed now... night.

[lapietra]

'night... pleasant dreams...

Sorry I couldn't think of anything more interesting to talk about... :(

[Aphrodite]

Are you ok?

I didn't realize how long ago he posted. Poop!

[daverbee]

Hopefully this means you're going home!
Talked to Sally yesterday and they still haven't sent anything out. I'm gonna suggest they send it to whoever they can find instead since you'll, hopefully, be home by the time they get it in the mail. Sorry!

[Audreyvgs]

Oh well, the Twizzler's are half plastic anyway, they'll keep til he gets someplace for more'n 5 minutes.

[red]

Looka that. How pretty. Xerocs is getting a purple heart?! Wow!

Lala - He said they were being med evac'ed - so does that mean he's coming home now or getting moved to somewhere else?

[Audreyvgs]

I didn't say he was, I just hope he is.

[Willow Sylph]

Aaaaaaaah. Okay.

Freedom Isn't Free


I watched the flag pass by one day.
It fluttered in the breeze.
A young Marine saluted it,
And then he stood at ease.
I looked at him in uniform
So young, so tall, so proud,
With hair cut square and eyes alert
He'd stand out in any crowd.
I thought how many men like him
Had fallen through the years.
How many died on foreign soil?
How many mothers' tears?
How many pilots' planes shot down?
How many died at sea?
How many foxholes were soldiers' graves?
No, freedom isn't free.

I heard the sound of taps one night,
When everything was still
I listened to the bugler play
And felt a sudden chill.
I wondered just how many times
That taps had meant "Amen,"
When a flag had draped a coffin
Of a brother or a friend.
I thought of all the children,
Of the mothers and the wives,
Of fathers, sons and husbands
With interrupted lives.
I thought about a graveyard
At the bottom of the sea
Of unmarked graves in Arlington.
No, freedom isn't free.

It is the VETERAN, not the preacher,
who has given us freedom of religion.

It is the VETERAN, not the reporter,
who has given us freedom of the press.

It is the VETERAN, not the poet,
who has given us freedom of speech.

It is the VETERAN, not the campus organizer,
who has given us freedom to assemble.

It is the VETERAN, not the lawyer,
who has given us the right to a fair trial.

It is the VETERAN, not the politician,
Who has given us the right to vote.

It is the VETERAN,
who salutes the Flag,

It is the Veteran,
who serves under the Flag.

Funny, our US Senate/House took 2 days off as they couldn't work because of the expected storm.

On the ABC evening news, it was reported tonight that, because of the dangers from Hurricane Isabelle approaching Washington DC, the military members assigned the duty of guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier were given permission to suspend the assignment.

They respectfully declined the offer, "No way, Sir!"

Soaked to the skin, marching in the pelting rain of a tropical storm, they said that guarding the Tomb was not just an assignment, it was the highest honor that can be afforded to a serviceperson.

The tomb has been patrolled continuously, 24/7, since 1930.

I don't usually suggest that many emails be forwarded, but I'd be DAMN proud if this one reached as many as possible.

We can be very proud of our young men and women in the service no matter where they serve.

God Bless them.

Does O'Brien hate you or something?

[xerocs]

O'Brien was a little bitter with me because he was removed from his duties about a month ago after he was caught sleeping on post the second time. He had some other issues too... why?
