Thanks everyone for the well wishes ! Fed Ex just delivered my flight itinerary! Woohoo Count down to D-day 15 days !

The point I am making is if they put the money to good use then good. Why should we lets some big corporation get rich on your money? I say if the state does take that money that was never used and uses it on schools or road projects or anything more important than lining someones pocket then so be it.

I duno I think I would rather the state take it to use in some fashion instead of taxes. Thats better than the store making money on me.

I got my new job as a contract firefighter ! Thank you lapband ! The job is a contract firefighting job in Iraq for a year. I have mentioned it a few times but got the official phone call today saying my plane ticket will be in by Friday. I leave for Houston on January 7th and then the Middle East a week later. I am so stoked about this. I actually had this job 2 years ago but was kicked back because I was to fat :nervous so thanks to the lapband I am now healthy and eligible for the position. I am feeling like a kid in a candy store right now ! I am obviously nervous but just excited as hell. Just wanted to tell everyone on here THANK YOU because this site has been great for support and even through ups and downs with some of you on crazy things I still appreciate everyone the same. We are all like some dysfunctional family on crack lol I don't know how much I will be around once I ship out so just wanted to say never give up and keep on moving because your dreams are there for the taking. Thanks again everyone ! :clap2:

:hungry: HAHAHAHA

I used my cordless drill and a drill bit. It works just fine lol. Wally world is good for the cheep polo shirts also. I have changed a few sizes since I have started my journey.

The glowing just happened to be a side effect of the experiment.

:biggrin1: and this folks is why I moved to Florida this year. Last night I went in the pool for a swim. My port didn't get sore at all. LOL I will say it did cool off though because I actually turned the AC off and opened the windows.

I think what is trying to be said that in a society with a divorce rate over 50% and conservative values being broken down so much these days its nice to see someone who still holds true to his beliefs and family values first. Thats just my interpretation lol .

I am not a calorie counter per say. I am more of a guesstimator on my calorie intake. I just make the right choices and don't go over board.

I quit drinking and smoking 3 years ago and lets say Extra Sugar Free gum is my new best friend! That and sugar free ice pops rock ! lol:p

You can do it if you want to do it. Trust me just look at my ticker. I have lost well over 50% of my excess weight in 7 months. Just eat right and exercise. Walk walk and walk some more.

Merry Christmas to you to Brew ! Good to see your still alive and kicking.

Right now its tied 17 republican votes - 17 democratic votes. But one Democratic vote is from a non voter lol So we win so far ! :scared:

Please indulge us with your infinite wisdom.

Ah such hostility's. I love it LOL . :heh: And Merry F**king Christmas to you to !

Thats the same view I have.

Just curious and this poll is not a public poll. What do you consider yourself?

Just wanted to quote that again ! :clap2:

What we do or shouldn't do either way should not be published in the media for the world and our ENEMIES to see. This only emboldens the enemy. I have to look but there was a video out there filmed in Iraq of captured insurgents. The funny thing is they were crying and begging to the Americans. What they were crying about is they were about to be given to the Iraqi authorities. Makes you wonder why? Because crap like this is in the media and the public eye during war and shouldn't be. Just like when our congressman making asses of themselves saying we are losing a war. This is a war and people are getting soft in this country and it makes you sad. Imagine if the people during WW II acted like people these days.

If these were soldiers of another countries military we would not be doing this. These men are not and are not covered under the Geneva convention. Our troops have been captured by terrorists and were mutilated and murdered. I personally don't worry about what others think about the US. We have to do what we have to do to protect our citizens first. This is not the first time our image was not pristine in the eyes of people and will not be the last. But when they need help ask who they call first. Yup the damned if we do and damned if we don't USA.

Its a Canadian prison. He will be out in a couple years probably. :eek:

I am all about just annexing Canada and taking all there maple syrup and oil ! LOL

The ones that are getting the psychological problems are not ones I could care less about but the ones that the terrorists may go after will have more to worry about than that. We need to remember that the ones they do things like this to are the same ones that would love to kill anyone of us the first chance they got. Ask Berg or Pearl how humane they treated them.

I am still waiting for them to move. I even offered to drive some of them. :eek:
