Nothing you could say
Could tear me away from my guy (my guy)
Nothing you could do
'cause i'm stuck like glue to my guy
I'm sticking to my guy like a stamp to a letter
Like birds of a feather
We stick together
I'm telling you from the start
I can't be torn apart from my guy

I've got sunshine on a cloudy day
When it's cold outside
I've got the month of may
I guess you say
What in the world will make me feel this way?
My girl, talking 'bout my girl

No handsome face could ever take the place of my guy

I've got so much, so much, so much honey

He he, I remember everybody giving me the speech about how horrible civy life is. Now I'm home while they fight a war for corrupt politicians. Doesn't seem so bad to me.

he doesn't hate "civilians." he was annoyed at people not supporting troops.

I have never run into anyone, here or anywhere for that matter, that hasn't supported the troops. Once he gets here and adjusts, he'll see that, IMHO.

BTW - "I've got so much, so much, so much honey...."

FLMAO, birch! I bet! Whooo Hooooo!

Tell that squid-head that being critical of the government does not mean that citizens do not support "the troops".

Hearing military personel criticize civilians gives me a real sore ass.
They work for us......U.S.

If they can't serve their country they don't belong in "the service"......their job is to SERVE U.S.

I agree--
I believe in supporting the troops, whether or not I agree the government that sent them away.... (although, when the troops commit cruel and unusual torture towards others, I DON't support that type of behavior.)

My dad used to say that 2 types of people have no say in what they do:

Students and Soldiers....

i.e. a student has to follow a curriculum to get to their end goal of whatever degree or diploma they need.... a soldier has to follow the commanding officer's lead, no matter whether or not they agree with the decision...

Both Students and Soldiers basically have made the commitment to follow a certain path in life... (although students have an easier way out...)

i wrote an apology thread to..for those of you who seem to have missed it, it basically said that i wasnt using my head when i wrote that and definately should have used better wording when i addressed this subject and if this is what i am to be remembered by then so be it. but i say get to know someone before you place judgement. that may sound hypocritical, but i have nothing against the people i previously wrote about, just some of the choices they made and the actions they took.. sorry to offend or piss off, i just wanted to voice my opinion on here as you all do so often.

I didn't plan too much for this trip. I went ultralight with this one and packed only the clothes on my back. At first I was slightly hindered by the lack of illuminuation of the facilities, but I solved the problem with a flick of the light switch. I know hindsight is 20/20, but I should have thought ahead and made sure there was TP on the roll at my destination. An excited dog jumping on me and hitting me from the side cause a bit of collateral damage on the toilet bowl. I had to backtrack a bit to the closet to pick up some TP to remove evidence of my mistake. Zipping and unzipping went as planned. My boxers were orientated correctly. An almost flawless performance if it were not for Rusty.

Hey my flight was delayed for over two hours Friday night. Add to that the fact that I was flying out late to begin with and I was flying into Huntsville so she had to drive all the way down there to pick me up... long night.

Bison, since everything was delayed and time is money was it still cheaper to fly into Huntsville

Oh yeah, the flight was less than 100 bucks, so about $170 cheaper than flying into Nashville. Figure 25 bucks for gas (probably less than that for two round trips) and 6 to 7 hours driving, but we're together for half that so call it 3 extra hours not together at $20 an hour (can you really put a price on the time you spend together?) that would be $85 opportunity cost vs. $170 to fly into Nashville. Even with the delay it comes out to 125 vs. 170.

You gotta be careful with your economic analysis when you live far away from each other and have to spend money on flights every other weekend or so, gotta make your money go as far as it can.

Actually I wasn't even planning on being there last weekend, somebody mentioned on the Walls of Jericho thread that it had been cheaper for them to fly out of Huntsville once (this was Wednesday night), I hadn't thought of that so I immediately went to the web site to check the fares and they were super cheap, I booked the flight less than an hour before the fares went up.

Thank you TT!
