Found this today: "Changing the date merely to create three-day weekends has undermined the very meaning of the day. No doubt, this has contributed a lot to the general public's nonchalant observance of Memorial Day" VFW 2002
I agree. It seems to be more about the camping getaway and less about honoring those who gave their all, and ultimate sacrifice, to provide us the life we enjoy everyday. God bless those who have served, God keep those who have sacrificed.
Thinking about the 4th this week...and my inner pyromaniac... The Night I Painted The Sky Jimmy Buffett, Russ Kunkel, Jay Oliver, Roger Guth, and Peter Mayer I CAME FROM THE NORTH ESCAPING CONVENTION THE MODERN INVENTION THAT WON'T LET ME BE .... TO THE SHORES OF ST. MAARTEN WITH MY DICTION ADDICTION TO RESTART THE FIRE A DREAMER'S REMEDY... Verse INDEPENDENCE DAY AND ALL I REMEMBER WAS A MIDNIGHT RAINBOW THAT FELL FROM THE SKY.... AS I STAND ON THE BEACH I SLOWLY SURRENDER TO THE CHILD IN ME WHO CAN'T SAY GOOD-BYE .... Chorus THE ROCKETS IN THE AIR AND THE PEOPLE EVERYWHERE... PUT AWAY THEIR DIFFERENCES FOR AWHILE. OH I AM STILL A CHILD WHEN IT COMES TO SOMETHING WILD...... THAT WAS THE NIGHT I PAINTED THE SKY Verse I DUG IN THE SAND LIKE A BOY, ON A MISSION AND THERE IN MY HANDS A PYRO'S DELIGHT.... A BOMBADIER, A NIGHTTIME MAGICIAN I SPARK THE SKY AS THE ROCKETS FLY FROM VIEW .. Verse OH THE MORTARS THEY ROAR IN ANTICIPATION.... PRECEDING THE SIGH OF THE UPLIFTED EYES . IT SHOWERS US ALL IN SULFURIC SENSATION.... THE COLORS SHINE IN A FIERY RHYME TONIGHT . Chorus THE ROCKETS IN THE AIR AND THE PEOPLE EVERYWHERE PUT AWAY THEIR DIFFERENCES FOR AWHILE... I AM BUT A CHILD WHEN IT COMES TO SOMETHING WILD....... OH THAT WAS THE NIGHT, THAT WAS THE NIGHT, OH THAT WAS THE NIGHT I PAINTED THE SKY PAINTED THE SKY....... You can listen to it here...Pretty song. http://new.music.yahoo.com/jimmy-buffett/tracks/night-i-painted-the-sky--1032361
Two kids found a severed hand floating in a pond this weekend, they drained the pond today and found the head in a back pack and I understand they found the torso a 1/4 a mile away today, the rumor has it the dismembered body belonged to a 17 year old Girl from the school my Daughter goes to. There are some sick and twisted MFer's out in this sick sick world. They better pray I don't find who is responsible for this first first.
Ya know, what's worse is that even if they find the person(s) responsible, and go to trial. These psycho's will spend the rest of their life getting 3 squares a day, room & board all at the tax payer expense. yes, there are some sick people out there, watch your six and teach your kids to watch their six too!
Hm. Just recently, I've noticed that not all avatars nor all icons load as quickly as they used to, and sometimes don't ever. Random, it's not the same every time.
Never had a problem with it No problems here either. Everything loads just as fast at home or at work. I'm using FF 3.0.12 at both locations.
I'm using FF as well....It only does it on "Todays Posts" not "New Posts"....go figure. No clue......
Me too on "Today's", not "New". It's been that way for me for so long, that I just work around it. OMG, Quig!
God's been putting on one heck of a light show in these parts the last few days..... Of course, losing power, internet, phone, etc...was a tad inconvenient, but sorta nice at the same time....
