I thought this would be a good forum for this.  I received this quiz via email, it's also a good thing that I just date an army fella and I'm not in uniform. This quiz is based on the ROE for US soldiers.  It's just supposed to be fun and not debate the rights wrongs or in differences that can...

;D A visit from Aunt Flow

Someone beetlejuiced the guys and killed the thread. Ladies, Bring it back!!!

Yrys  - I apologize once again for that faux pas. Engineers Wife - I think the thing is men live in the moment and rarely step outside their version of the box.  Or they just don't think period.  Both could be valid. :)

Well since Engineer's Wife opened "that" door.  My brilliant husband decided after he left the hospital to go and celebrate the birth of his son with the boys.  I'll leave it at I left the hospital the next day with newborn in tow alone.  That, even though we are not together now, will never be...

Wow, Amazing stuff. I had 2 high risk pregnancies myself but some of the easiest deliveries out there.  My first I got to the hospital at noon and had my daughter in my arms by 3pm. My son was2 weeks early and I had no intention of going to the hospital that day.  I was just at my doctor's...

Okay I have a question Dear Mamma Bear: Is there any way of keeping a man away from you during that "cycle" we are talking about?  If I hear one more time "What's wrong with you?"  I might have to beat someone. signed, Cranky this week

Crap on a cracker, I am killing myself here I'm laughing so hard.  This thread is beautiful.

This thread makes me well up in proud tears.

I fell for this one this morning. R.I.P John Travolta, You will be missed my friend 1954/2008 John Joseph Travolta (February 18, 1954-March31, 2008) John was an Oscar-nominated and Golden Globe Award-winning American actor, dancer, and singer, best known for his leading roles in films such...

I think you are brilliant. 8)

Good thing I'm a grown up, because if I still had my immature attitude Yrys posts would make me giggle. Inverted and oral and all.

Truth be told, with global warming, I'm not sure if we are doing this to ourselves or this is a natural phenominum.  It does remind me of the 70's and the energy crisis and my kids are now turning off lights.  GO LOWER HYDRO!!!

All the kids in my neighbourhood had a little party on the street.  It was fun to see all the 9 -12 yr olds talking about energy consumption. I did an half assed job.  I killed all the lights, lit a fire and watched the hockey game in the dark.  I also let my computer go to sleep. Well if...

Thank you all again. I'm looking into preserving it now.  Thank you for the links.

While I can't state the actual date of the document I can tell you it is nearly powder in my hands.  The last set of papers I found near this document were dated in the 1920's.  I haven't gone through everything yet.

I can't make out the entire reason for discharge but I can make out consolidation and .... (something) supernumerary perhaps.  I didn't think that would be on his papers if he passed due to infection.

I did note the widow, paid and discharge on the same date.  However with the previous post, he should have been safe at that point, the war in his area appeared to be complete in July 19th. I supposed I'll have to really dig into the family history to find the crux of this tale.

Thank you for that additional information. These papers come from my father's mother's side of the family.  She was a Fitzgerald.  While I don't have backing documents as of yet, it was told in the family that Joseph was a twin and his brother fought on the confederate side and was killed...

We had something similar happen where I live.  A group of us, about 7 vehicles, had the Legion support the troops magnets on cars and trucks and were all out for a get together.  The magnets were either stolen and/or the vehicles were keyed.
