Happy Birthday Crysta, from Blondie too

From: Redneck farm kid in the Marine Corps Dear Ma and Pa, I am well. Hope you are. Tell Brother Walt and Brother Elmer the Marine Corps beats working for old man Minch by a mile. Tell them to join up quick before all of the places are filled. I was restless at first because you get to stay in bed till nearly 6 a.m. But I am getting so I like to sleep late. Tell Walt and Elmer all you do before breakfast is smooth your cot, and shine some things. No hogs to slop, feed to pitch, mash to mix, wood to split, fire to lay. Practically nothing. Men got to shave but it is not so bad, there's warm water. Breakfast is strong on trimmings like fruit juice, cereal, eggs, bacon, etc., but kind of weak on chops, potatoes, ham, steak, fried eggplant, pie and other regular food, but tell Walt and Elmer you can always sit by the two city boys that live on coffee. Their food, plus yours, holds you until noon when you get fed again. It's no wonder these city boys can't walk much. We go on 'route marches,' which the platoon sergeant says are long walks to harden us. If he thinks so, it's not my place to tell him different. A 'route march' is about as far as to our mailbox at home. Then the city guys get sore feet and we all ride back in trucks. The sergeant is like a school teacher. He nags a lot. The Captain is like the school board. Majors and colonels just ride around and frown. They don't bother you none. This next will kill Walt and Elmer with laughing. I keep getting medals for shooting. I don't know why.. The bulls-eye is near as big as a chipmunk head and don't move, and it ain't shooting at you like the Higgett boys at home. Al l you got to do is lie there all comfortable and hit it. You don't even load your own cartridges They come in boxes. Then we have what they call hand-to-hand combat training. You get to wrestle with them city boys. I have to be real careful though, they break real easy. It ain't like fighting with that ole bull at home. I'm about the best they got in this except for that Tug Jordan from over in Silver Lake. I only beat him once... He joined up the same time as me, but I'm only 5'6' and 130 pounds and he's 6'8' and near 300 pounds dry. Be sure to tell Walt and Elmer to hurry and join before other fellers get onto this setup and come stampeding in. Your loving daughter , Alice

HAH

Well? Did they give him another chance or not?

Yes, she looks very happy

Among Other Thoughts on Our Wedding Anniversary By: Judith Viorst Over the years, When the sink overflowed Or the car ran out of gas Or the lady who comes every Tuesday to clean didn't come Or I felt pudgy Or misunderstood Or inferior to Marily Kaufman who is not only a pediatric surgeon but also a very fine person as well as beautiful Or I fell in the creek and got soaked on our first family camping trip Or mosquitoes ate me alive on our first family camping trip Or I bruised my entire left side on our first camping trip Or I walked through a patch of what later turned out to be plenty of poison ivy on what later turned out to be our last family camping trip Or my sweater shrank in the wash Or I stepped on my glasses Or the keys that I swear on my children's head I put on the top of the dresser weren't there Or I felt depressed Or unfulfilled Or inferior to Ellen Jane Garver who not only teaches constitutional law but is also a wit plus sexually insatiable Or they lost our luggage Or our reservations Or two of the engines Or the rinse that was going to give my hair some subtle copper highlights turned it purple Or my mother-in-law got insulted at something I said Or my stomach got upset at something I ate Or I backed into a truck that I swear when I looked in my rear-view mirror wasn't parked there Or I suffered from some other blow of fate, It's always been so nice to have my husband by my side so I could Blame him.

Wow, that is close

http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/main/2013/01/congress-less-popular-than-cockroaches-traffic-jams.html The fact about the popularity of the US Congress: Raleigh, N.C. –Facing low approval ratings after a historically unproductive 112thsession and a series of last-minute showdowns over fiscal matters, Congress is now less popular than root canals, NFL replacement referees, head lice, the rock band Nickelback, colonoscopies, carnies, traffic jams, cockroaches, Donald Trump, France, Genghis Khan, used-car salesmen and Brussel sprouts. More unpopular than NFL replcement refs? That's a pretty low blow.

LOL

As they should be Koach, they've done nothing worthwhile for as long as I can remember. But don't forget, most of these "deficit reduction plans" totally exempt members of Congress. They receive zero pay reductions, zero tax increases, and still get the same retirement as always, as little as 2 years on the job and they get FULL pay for the rest of their lives.
