  1. Matilda...If you ever run for office, ya' got my vote! Maybe the current administration could throw a couple gazillion $$$ in as a stimulus?
  2. 1. The national debt...who do we owe? 2. Park on the driveway & drive on the parkway? 3. Cigarettes are bad then why is the tax money good??? 4. A sign at a pick-up counter in a restaurant read, "Pick up food hear" (absolutely not related to the topic, just thought it was funny) 5. Because I said so...ok? (Shellon, maybe you can elaborate on this one) 6. Blow on your hands in the winter to make them warm...blow on your soup/coffee to cool it off? Ok. this is getting too silly...my apologies to all, I'll get back to work
  3. Look at the picture to your left...can we talk goofy?
  4. All I can add is "God Bless Us Everyone"! I used to share this little 10 minute nutritional biochemistry explanation re: Carbs, short and long chain fatty acids, protein, fat, etc...those that followed it lost the weight. Some of my patients thought I was this diet-guru...LOL Should have gone on Oprah, huh? It's just real simple...doing it can be the hard part; cause we in the western world, love our long chain fatty acids, flour, potatoes, rice, cookies (man, do I love cookies), etc. Lets see if I can remember? 1970 I weighed 165, today I weigh 175...my peak was 197 when I worked in the Gulf of Mexico on the oil rigs...man those cooks' can cook! Congrats to all and carry on "Whiskey-Tango-Foxtrot"...I love it! LOL
  5. From all of us here in Paradise (Iraq is paradise?) Congratulations...at least a gazillion more years!
  6. Having grown up in a Greek household...all I can say is Yasou! Transliterated from the original Greek manuscripts means...M'mm Good!
  7. Huh? Say that backwards 10 times fast!
  8. Now don't laugh anyone...But, those ice sculptures you see in weddings and fancy-smanshie (sic) dinners? I was so impressed than someone had that kind of talent, until I discovered they are made from molds. I am so gullible! Who just said there is no Santa Claus?
  9. Quoting Mark here... "If you are seeking guidance, why not go to the source - the true God?" Brilliant Mark...What a concept!!!!
  10. I went to bed @ 1930, woke up at 0200...just call me MR Excitement! Nothing had changed but the calendar. Work is slow and I am enjoyably bored... that's a good thing!
  11. Working "Contract Work" for the past 10 years, I go from one job to next... Thank God He states in Psalm 37:25..."I have been young and am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor His seed begging bread." The way I see it, I can't loose! Smokey/oilfieldmedic
  12. Ok...First allow me to emphatically make it known to all that I love the Banjo (Soldiers Joy is my favorite) That being said, early in 2007 while working in the Green Zone, I got a wild hair up my...and decided to buy banjo... Having played guitar for 35+ years (gosh, suddenly I feel old) and having my right hand finger picking patterns indelibly etched in the 2 brain cells I have remaining...I found it difficult at best to pick-up the rolls and patterns on the banjo...now before you offer suggestions, let me finish. I was at the point after a month where it sounded like I was trying to play a song and have it recognized by others (Dueling Banjos does not count either). I set off the "Incoming" alarm system twice for the entire Green Zone and had dogs and cats howling, my supervisor 5 miles away posted my job and the Iraqi newspaper ran an ad; "Medic and banjo for sale" So I did what every aspiring Earl Scruggs wanna be would do and sold the dang thing...Please accept my apologies a for stepping out of my lane, maybe later? Back to the guitar Happy Picking! Smokey
