For those of you, who have read my last blog, you know that things have been kind of rocky for me lately. So I decided to give my self a bosster shot, to help lift my spirits. I just wanted to see, which ladies here on SFF, would consider going out on a date with me, if we were to meet. Also what would be that factor, that would consider saying yes.

Another milestone Apr 23, 2008 11:21 pm

Well, its after midnight here, so it is now officially April 24th 0f 2008. That means, that it has been 9 months today, that my beloved wife Danita has left this world behind, for a place where there is no more pain and suffering.Since she has been gone, I feel like I am adjusting pretty well I guess. I feel like I should be a big mess still, but I am not. I guess its because, I know the kind of woman my wife was, and I know, that she would not want me to be miserable. As the saying goes, Life Goes On. It sounds so hard and cruel. Not long after my wife died, I decide, that I am going to find a way, to raise money for The Crohn's and Colitis Foundation, as it was Crohn's disease, which had afflicted it self upon my lovely wife. if anyone has any suggestions please let me know.

Humor in Uniform. Apr 13, 2008 4:24 am

My wife, always enjoyed reading Reader's Digest. Of course, our favorite section was "Humor In Uniform". These came from the most recent issue.

"I was stationed on a ship in the mediterranean, and the 18-20 hour workdays passed very slowly. My wife,a psychologist, decided to send me a relaxation tape to ease the stress of sea duty. Its title: Sounds of the Sea.

When I wear my Air Force uniform, strangers come up to me to thank me for my service to my country. Once I was in the parking lot of a county jail, waiting to take custody of a military inmate. A prisoner walked by, carrying a bag of garbage to the Dumpster, escorted by a Corrections oficer. As he passed me, the inmate turned and_quite sencerely-said "Thanks for my freedom!" before being taken back inside.

A Navy man gave his son the 'birds and the bees' talk before leaving for his first deployment,
but he later realized the boy hadnt fully understood. Three months into his tour of duty, the Lieutentnant recieved a letter that asked, 'Will you come home if Mommy gets pregnant?'

Last but not least:

The new ensign was trying to impress everybody with what he'd learned in Submarine School when the MAster Chief cut him off. 'Listen Sir, its simple', he said. 'Add the number of times we dive to the number of times we surface. If it doesnt come out even, dont open then hatch.'

I hoope these will get you a chucle, and help you to start you day on a good note. Semper Fi and Ohrah!!!

Mood: reflective, 1491 Views
One of my wife and my favorite activities was, to go to the karaoke clubs to sing. One of the songs, which she loved me to sing was "The American Trilogy". She used to say, that I was "channeling" Elvis, or was he channeling me? mmmm!!!!

OH I wish I was....
In the land of cotton,
old times there are not forgotten,
look away, look away, look away Dixie land,
AH Sing it fellas....

Oh I wish I was in Dixie, away, away,
in Dixieland I'll take my stand,
to live and die in Dixie,
for in DIxieland, thats where i was born, early on one frosty morn,
look away, look away, look away Dixieland,

Glory Glory Hallelujah,
glory glory Hallelujah,
glory glory Hallelujah,
His truth is marching on........

So hush little baby don't you cry,
you know your daddy's...
bound to die,
for all my trials Lord,
will soon be over......

Instrumental break........

Glory glory Hallelujah.....
don don don....
Glory glory hallelujah....
glory glory hallelujah....
His truth is marching on........
His truth is Marching oooonnnnnnn.......

Thank you, thank you very much....

Remarkable marine Apr 10, 2008 6:36 am

Sometimes when we think about the "hardships" in our lives, we need to think about this marine. A Marine Gunnery Sargaent was serving a tour of duty in Iraq, when he took a sniper bullet to his knee. It was completely shattered. He had a full leg amputation. After going through rehab, with a new computerized leg, he was able to convince the marines, that he could still do his duty, and is back in Iraq. To me, he is an inspiration, not just as a marine, but also as a man. We should all look to him as an example. Semper Fidelis!!!!! OHRAH!!!!

Now this is my first attempt, at a political type blog. So here it goes!!!!

I just read a blog on gas prices, and someone actually said that thought that gas prices were reasonable. Now I dont know what fantasy they are living in, but our econmoy is going down the tubes. Now except for my 8 years in the Marines, I have spent most of my adult life, in the restaraunt business, in one form or another. I have been at my current job for 13 years, and we have always been busy. WIth our current gas prices, people cant afford to eat out as much. Also, the ones that do come outdont tip, which is hurting the waitstaff, which depends on tips to make a living. Now I heard that several big companies are going to do a massive layoff. Something needs to be done, but I dont see anyone in the current administration doing anything. We all know about the Presidents so called tax rebate. Lets see who gets one. The last time he gave one, I know I didnt get one, and I am pretty much low income. So lets see, if anyone has any suggetions, that we can send to Mr Bush, so that we can turn things around. I was talking to my Health Care Provider at the VA Hospital, and I was telling her, that I didnt know what I would do when she retires, and she told me, that she probably wont be able to retire. What do we have to do, to make things right again in this country. Now I know alot of people on here dont care for Hillary, but I would sooner she her in the Oval Office as opposed to MCCain or Obama.
