Happy Veterans Day
 
Good morning and a moment of silence just to remember the people that have given up life for this country. Many of us served in the military with an inner pride of doing the "right thing" yet some would later politicize it for their own benefit - I try to remember that right now there are our family members and children overseas being shot due to that political motive - but then they are still doing it without question of their own self-worth - so thanks to all of them and to our vets

Good morning and spare a minute to remember the veterans abroad. It's Remembrance Day here in the UK and Canada.

In Flanders Fields
By: Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD (1872-1918)
Canadian Army

IN FLANDERS FIELDS the poppies blow
Between the crosses row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.

If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

Good morning :)

I have electricians coming this morning to hopefully finish my kitchen's electrical. They need to install all the recessed lighting and install a plug for my range. Yesterday the drywall was finally finished and it texture was sprayed on. Also I was told that my cabinets would arrive on the 19th of this month.

I should be around most of the day doing web work to feed the sexual desires of the horny masses.

Thanks to all of those who served in the armed forces during war time and peace time. It is because of those who lost their lives for our country that made me want to give something back and serve in the Army. I look at all the lives that have been lost through the years to make this country what it is today and to give each and every one of us the freedoms we have today.

Thank you too all the men and women who have served, especially those who paid the ultimate sacrifice.

Morning and Happy Veteran's Day to everyone :) I have refused to work on Veteran's Day for the last 20 years but, I forgot today was the day.

Living in the fields of Flanders myself this day is celebrated a little more intense that in the rest of the world I guess, we have people from the UK, Canada, USA, Australia, ... visiting our little country remembering their grandfathers and other relatives who died more than 86 years ago fighting for our freedom.

Respect to all of them. |shake|

Good Morning All :) God Bless all Veteran's :)

So we are not suppose to work on Veterans Day I'm told. Someone better tell all those fighting and dying today in Mr. Bush's liberation war, errr I mean holy war, errr I mean oil war, errr pointless war, errr WTF are we dong playing god in other people's lives wasn't nothing learned in the cold war?

I guess there is reason for celebration today as there is one less filthy rich terrorist alive.


Imagine

Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
living for today...

Imagine there's no countries,
It isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace...

Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.
