Posted: Oct 2, 2011
I am the mom whose son came home from Afghanistan 2 weeks ago. We ended up not going, and I made sure my husband knew how unhappy I was at missing the chance - and so did the rest of the family! Fast forward to last Thursday and I got a text from my son saying he would be HOME on Saturday about 2 p.m. to pick up his car and clothes he had left at his brother's house. Totally jumped at the chance to be the one to pick him up from the airport so I was buzzing around for two days and finally about an hour before we were to pick him up he said his flight had been changed (found out he had been bumped - BIG mistake on the part of the airline) and wouldn't be in until 9:30. Bummed but undeterred, I called his brothers and sister-in-law and still had 8 of us at the airport at 9:30 that night to pick him up with two big signs when he got there. After we hugged him, a woman asked if he was military and he said yes, and many of the people in the airport applauded him. SOOOO proud to be there at that time, almost made up for missing him come back in the first place! He is leaving in the morning to drive back to his base, can't wait until he comes back to stay for a while!

Thanks for the update! - Happy MT Robin
[ In Reply To ..]Sorry to hear that you weren't able to go 2 weeks ago, but glad he made it home in one piece and you got to see him on Saturday.

[ In Reply To ..]I agree - thank you for the update! As a military mom, you brought tears to my eyes. God bless you and your family and everything your son does for our country!

Rest In Peace Liz TaylorMar 23, 2011
Liz Taylor passed. I was watching a show last night about "best movies of all time". They named "Gone with the Wind" as the best. I don't think there was a Liz Taylor movie. Then I heard about Ms. Taylor's passing today. It made me kind of melancholy. Remember when actors and actresses actually had to have talent? They had to sing and dance and be able to ACT. Today, it seems there is so much gratuitous sex and violence and a plethora o ...

Given the choice of the three above, I would choose Gingrich. He appears to be more intelligent and at least doesn't say things that are completely off the wall. He has lots of years of experience in politics, so he knows his way around. He would be my choice of those three. ...

It is nothing but games on both sides. But for those who seem to think things were running so well before Obama and the democr ...
A True Story...Jul 18, 2012
In the early 70s, I was a new wife and mother without a lot of money, living in a small mid-western town of 1200. One day a well-meaning friend called me and said,"The Government is giving away free cheese at the Auditorium. You should go stand in line and get some." I said to her, "Why should I go stand in line for the free cheese? I don't want a 5 lb. brick of cheese." She replied, "Everyone is doing it." So, I went and stood in line for the free cheese. But, reall ...

An MT Insurance Story...Jan 22, 2014
I had insurance through my MT job but never filed a claim as I am relatively healthy and never met the deductible. I didn't have a colonoscopy until I was 55 or a mammogram until I was 56, my own fault, but my income had taken a nosedive and preventative care was the least of my worries. I was just lucky that both turned out OK. I lost my insurance when I was diagnosed with RA and couldn't maintain full time status or production, pretty close though. Because of ...

Is Anyone Following The Story Of The Father WhoJun 29, 2014
At first I thought it was an unimaginable tragedy but as evidence comes out that the father searched computer on deaths of children left in hot cars it looks like he is guilty of murder. He took the child to breakfast not very far from his work so it is hard to think he could forget him once he arrived at work. Dad has to be a psycho who is dumb as a rock to do searches on a computer for children dying in hot cars knowing he would be investigated. There is also evidence (surveillance vide ...

The Clintons paid no taxes on a number of perks that were funneled to them through their Foundation.
