I watched a CNN program on "Combat Hospitals", in Iraq..Lots of things to do..My heart swelled as I watched it at 4am .yesterday..THey even were triaging Iraqi civilians because the insurgents thought they where giving away info to americans..including children..The soldiers were brave and just went on to heal and some had to get medivaced..My hats off to you....
FOr fun, the medical staff took wheelchairs and sat in them and balanced a cup of urine on them to see who had the best balance while they rolled downstairs on thier rear wheels..it was hysterical..
One of my nephews said some of the things in the palace were simply insane to put money into. He was disgusted.
First time one of the 4 serving (3 have or are in Iraq) slept in the barracks in Germany I think it was, he said that that space was like a hotel room in comparison. All 4 have learned so much about life and at such a young age.
May God bless and continue to protect you, as well all that are serving. And I'm glad your wife is healing.
I meant in comparison to where my nephew had been sleeping in Iraq not the palace.
The mud is more of a pseudomud (pun intended)...sort of like choclate moose, uh mouuse, musse, you know what I mean. I cannot state what we really call it, so mud will have to suffice! :)
Hey Eagle, funny you mentioned that, I was working on 2 civilians about a week or two ago, when group of injured were brought in, turns out they were bad guys. Can I add that on my resume?
Thank you all for your kindness, I will think of you and laugh the next time I whiz in the palace...now how's that for appreciation?
Yo, Medic! You and Mrs.Medic are frequently in my prayers - glad to hear she's doing good...Say - - with that gold potty - does anybody ever wonder if someone took a leak and didn't flush? Gosh - there's so many uncertainties in life...Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Whizzing in a gold-plated privy...now that's something to write home about!
Stay safe.

Good to hear from you, Oilfield-and great news about your wife. :)
Maybe you can find a bunch of catnip growers-some grass is better than none!
Take care-prays for a speedy return home!

OFM, I'm glad you're out of the mud and glad your wife's out of the hospital and doing better.
Thanks for keeping us posted.
BTW, I have a question: They have mud in Iraq??? It always looks so dusty there.

Great to hear from you and I see you got your finger out of your ear. Yeah! That's gotta be nice.
So glad to hear Mrs. OFM is doing well, too. She's such a sweetheart. :)
