And now, for a true story…

In a rare case, I post someone else’s story or thoughts. Today is one of those moments. This comes from MIkey’s Funnies email (you can subscribe to it here).

R.E.D. Friday, Patriotism

In honor of the men and women who are currently deployed, I bring you this bit of patriotism.

Twidget vs. Snipe

Having been a twidget for 8 years of active duty, and having an older brother who was a snipe… this is just awesome.

Happy R.E.D. Friday everyone.

I got something in my eye…

I am not one prone to crying. I think that has something to do with a messed up childhood, or some weird sense of duty or honor or machoism, or maybe I’m just messed up (yeah, probably that one). Mind you, I’m not saying I don’t cry, or that I don’t want too, I’m just saying that for some reason, when the feeling of crying hits me, my body and mind fight the emotion and I end up just having this pain in the back of my throat.

My inability to cry when I should has even led me to say these words, “It’s ok to cry. How about you cry for the both of us?” For context, I said this to my daughter while hugging her at my mother’s funeral. (see, totally screwed up, I know.. right?) However, those times that I can remember actually shedding a tear (singular, btw), it tends to be when I am watching something about the men and women who serve in our military.
