Man, that Olive Garden was a madhouse when it was new, and that was back nearly a year before I PCSed out of there (so, about three years ago, I think). The Texas Roadhouse (or whatever it's called now, the steak house up by the go-cart place) probably also still has an atrocious wait for it. It could be worse right now because, as HW points out via lifehappens, the Cav just got back and they're enjoying themselves stateside again. I don't k

I can't tell you how glad I am for the two of you that you are reunited for this holiday... heck, for all the days so far. Happy Valentine's Day to you both.

I was half-right: I had two ham sandwiches, and I was still well under 1800 calories.

[quote]This isn't an isolated incident. In Madison Wisconsin it is a common occurance. The "enlightened" and "open-minded" liberals there regularly break windows and key cars with any kind of stickers or license plates that are further right than they are.[/quote] Related anecdote/isolated incident: a co-worker has noted that he saw a very nice car in Austin, TX with a *huge* staved in portion of its rear windshield where the Bush '04 sticker was placed. No other cars in the lot were

I have subscriptions to Newsweek and The Army Times, both of which are weekly. They often go unread, and I have a sizeable stack of each (especially the Times) sitting here in my apartment. I feel like I can't get rid of them... there might be something in there that's important to know, right? I also receive Highlights and National Geographic Kids, but not for me. And they were Christmas gifts from my mother.

Dave, I wouldn't worry about him learning the wrong lesson re: parents bailing him out. You're not bailing him out, but assisting him in adressing this issue. He has to know that he can turn to you when he feels overwhelmed like this and so, so down on himself. Additionally, as has been pointed out before, the state of his education was in peril and he will still be attending school (and I feel doing much better with a different curr

Although I got home a little later than I wanted (but earlier than I had feared; I had to man my unit's "tax desk" until 1730 - no one showed up for a walk-in), I went ahead and actually made myself dinner. Ripped from this month's Men's Health: Grilled Italian Skirt Steak Ingredients: 12 oz skirt or flank steak 1 can (15.5 oz)

In response: I suppose I could just tell them to go online (I believe militaryonesource.com directs servicemembers to free versions of the commercially available products, like TurboTax), but it defeats the purpose of this class pretty well. I did comment to my supervisor this morning that I would probably just use TurboTax for my own again this year... and she said

I volunteered for this additional duty position over half a year ago, as the alternate. I started to figure that it was something my unit didn't take seriously, since I didn't have any training and I was the "alternate" to an empty primary position (ever since Geezer left the service). Then, at the beginning of the calendar year, the base started directing all servi

I need to make a point of checking in on your war stories more often. I'm never disappointed when I do.

That's great news. Congratulations. And while I find you often abrasive and difficult (emotionally) to read, I've never had cause to doubt your assertions that you want to be a citizen and stay in the country. I wish you continued good fortune in attaining that status.

Good to see that you're still as normal as you ever were. Which isn't much, but that's okay, because if you were you wouldn't be you. Keep being safe. Enjoy your leave, and happy belated Veteran's Day.

Good luck getting home for the holiday, but first and foremost drive safely (like you have been).
