What annoyed you today?

[Matt308]

How old are you Mac? 16? Get a job my boy. I had one starting at 14. There was not anything I wanted that I could not pay for myself. Well except maybe for my motorcycle and car insurance.

 

[MacArther]

I'm 19, I've had to focus almost entirely on academics up until recently, although I now have one at AMC. Now I'm annoyed because I have another final exam to take....

 

[mkloby]

Smile when you say that, pardner...

You'll miss Corpus after you get back to the Redneck Riviera!!!

Miss Corpus??? That's like missing getting beat up by your older brother.

So I was flying a low level flight today. Hit this one checkpoint up by Austin. This dude has a ranch with a big lake shaped like the state of Texas. He had a pool shaped like Texas too.

Seriously - these texas pride nuts really take it to an extreme.

Hard works makes a good man! I've worked since I was 14 too. I was actually excited to be old enough to get a job. Why can't all people have that work ethic. Then, we wouldn't have welfare... liberals...

Seems like that was all I ever did was work. I had trhee jobs at a time most of the time when I was 18 to 25. Got a good job at 21 (one of the three) working for Ma Bell. Got drafted when I was 26, guess where I went.

Doesn't matter, came home to a good job waiting and a good woman too until I screwed that up. Seems a whole new ball game now with kids having to go to college to get a decent job and having to compete with all the imported dickhead help. Not so easy I suspect.

Still, wish I were young again, I'd give em all a go.

Not feeling too good, so I am not going to the Lt. Dan Band show on post tonight. That sucks, I sure it would have been fun.

 

[tpikdave]

I just googled the Lt. Dan Band cause I had not heard of it but remember Forrest Gump well. Well hey, what a trip. Gary Sinise a musician. I would go for that kind of sound too. Great actor.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

I just think that musicans and actors that do stuff to benifit the soldiers is a great thing.

I saw Bob Hope at Pope AFB in 1987. Pres. Reagan was there along with brooke sheilds, don johnson, barbara mandrell and "Alabama"...

damn... long time ago..

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

For USO shows we had the Redskins and Bengals Cheerleaders, Tom Green, Gena Lee Nolin (playboy centerfold/baywatch), Puddle of Mudd, WWE, and quite a few more that I can not remember.

The best part was that as a Blackhawk crewmember I got to fly them around to all the locations.

 

[Matt308]

Lt. Dan!.... Lt. Dan!!! Want some icecreeeeeaammm!

I was too productive.

 

[tpikdave]

I missed the Bob Hope show in 1967, but was ordered to attend an Eddie Arnold show. I hated western music but it was better than laying in my hooch smoking.

 

[mkloby]

My apartment is a pile of boxes... I hate PCSing - 5th time in 3 years... geez

 

[Matt308]

Home late and nothing to eat for the family. Bananas. Apples. Rolls. Eggs. Forget it.

 

[mkloby]

Sleeping on the floor tonight. Yut! I'm using my TLE tomorrow.

Bummer. But not the end. My stepson married a beautiful girl with two kids. Somehow he didn't figure out she had a habit till a year or 2 into the marriage. Speed freak, tweaker, meth-head, whatever, pretty soon he was doing it.

Not for long, he turned out to be a strong person. Now, after being straight for quite a while, he has full custody of the kids (two beautiful healthy girls) and she is still in the slam. I don't foresee her ever getting custody but you never know in the laws of the libs.

All I can say is that I am damn proud of him.

So don't give up...ya never know.

Nothing major just a horrible head ache

Sorry. That is awful. I have a family member with that problem too... damn shame. It's been going on almost 15 years.
