NOW you say something! I think the warranty is up on mine already, to late to exchange for a girl!!

I don't recall that my girls were easier. In fact, they were/are (I have one still in the nest) quite a bit more difficult. And emotional. And they cry. All. The. Time. :shock:

I got a whole bunch more I could show, but I don't want to seem like I'm bragging...

I've been messing around with filters and such again :rolleyes: Is this fun or just weird?

It is fun. You are weird :p


And fit right in, lol.


Hullo folk, I am working on the senior pix, hopefully to be finished by tomorrow so I can agonize over book submissions during the weekend :rolleyes:

That's not bragging! I'd love to see them.

OK, you asked for it... I don't have shots of all the medals, so I'm just going to show my ribbon bar along with other insignia I wore. I'm going to try to set it up like it would have been on my shirt or coat...

First up is the pin for a diver 2nd Class

The following device indicates I was my unit's Command Chef Petty Officer. The job usually went to the most senior Chief Petty Officer, Senior Chief Petty Officer or Master Chief Petty Officer in the unit, although in recent years it has become a speciality unto itself.

This is the Navy's newest warfare badge, the Enlisted Expeditionary Warfare Specialist. This qualification was created only in the last several years, but had it been available, I would have had it also...

All the blueberries I have seen grow as singles...the other difference between the two is the blueberry has a bellybutton on the bottom of it....these are completely smooth.

Thanks for the blueberry botany course, Dan, like I said I've only seen them in their retail packagin so had know idea.

. We should have know that it would get interesting because as we entered a ranger handed out a survey asking what we though about hunters sharing the same area as train bikers..

:shock:

Around here the close the conservation areas during hunting/culling season.

Hey, is there anyone in here who isn't a quitter? Anyone still smoke? Speak up so we can badger..er... encourage you to quit.

I'm thinking I quit about 20 years ago. I think it was a couple years before Curt and I go married and we are going on 18 years.

Gaaaaa, I thought I could catch up this evening, but my eyes keep slam'n and I have several pages to go. I always seem to be behind any more.:(

Thanks, but I think I'm like most career service personnel in that I don't feel like I really did a whole lot...

Two bits of randomness from me:

1: I am down 17 pounds. That, in itself, is pretty cool, but it didn't actually hit me till tonight when I put on a pair of dress slacks to go out on my hot date, and they fell off. :shock: :lol:

2: We watched 'Dan in Real Life' with Steve Carrel tonight, and it is an absolutely FANTASTIC movie. A definite must see.

That attitude seems to be the difference between those do for others and those that do not.
