DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Connie- Last year EVERYONE in my family got a personalized tervis for their birthday. Free shipping if you order $75 so I ordered a bunch at a time. Not only can you put a name (or other text) in the cup, but you can supply them with anything you want to be sealed in the cup. Photos or whatever! And they are guaranteed for LIFE! LOVE THEM! My sailor has his name on his cup with the Navy seal. One of the things he wanted us to send him when he got out of boot camp!
Donna: love the pic of the bride and groom. Those cakes are absolutely beautiful
Sherrill- I really don't count 4:30 as early morning... as far as I'm concerned it's the middle of the night!!! I may have to take a nap for you today!
MNM- I think the link, you so graciously found for us, said there were kind of official names and kind of nick names (although I don't think that was the term they used, that's just what stuck in my head) Maybe Pukin' Dogs is a nickname. wonder where they got the name from.... hmmm...
For the "FLYING PIG" fans out there... there is a Tervis Tumbler (the BEST insulated cup in the world) that has a pig with wings. CUTE! Bought one recently for a friend who uses the phrase all the time.
Have a great day ladies... need to be productive. Not too many days left of summer. Then it's back to work! (grunt)
aawww "Sleepy Sherrill"....whew hon, that's early! hope you get to take a nap!
have a great day my girlies : )
