HI

Shark is in the mood to send a card
Maggs - I have had you on my mind as well as Claudia
Nothing bad - just a good feeling for you both
Jeffiner - what's up with your back ? Over did again - I know it.
Not happy right now - have ear and throat infection
And my tongue just had to get into the act too.
It is swollen and has a huge sore on the left side - I cannot talk very well. The doc laugh - he said an early Christmas present for hubby. Maybe I can't talk well, but I can sign!
talk or type to you all later hugs
Hey where is Mar and the news ? Anyone heard form Mar?
Blondie, thanks for address. I don't mind the posts either, and appreciate the chance to pray for these brave heroes and their families.
Welcome Tee.
We are having a bit of snow this morning. Not expected to last but does look pretty. That is some storm out west!
Liking the funnies.That was a quick week. Hubby gets his christmas bonus today-gotta get that shopping started!
I think it is raining here.
Hey - no message from Mar.
Maybe she is just cuddling that grandbaby too much.
Do hope all is going well for her daughter.
Hurray Ang - another Mom with son on same ship. I had that too - you will like it . Tag team the boys!
wish all a good night hugs. Forgot -
Question take you dog to library to read too?
Honest never heard of that one.
@davesmom ... an ombudsman is a volunteer spouse who is the official liaison between the ship and the families. Yes, your sailor adds you to the newsletter list via the ombudsman. Most of the time, if you google the ship or command, you can find a way to contact the ombudsman. They can then get in touch with your sailor for approval to be added. Some will add a mom automatically, some will ask the sailor.
My power was out all day! If you see video on the news of the damage in Utah, that was just to the south of me. We didn't get the heavy damage up here, but it was bad enough. I was trying to start our generator when the power came back on, Whew.
Anti M - my girlfriend's daughter is a Lieutenant, Physical Therapist at the Walter Reed National. She just explained to me the other day that the original hospital is closed and they have recently integrated with the Bethesda Naval Hosp. which was newly named the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, now the largest military hosp. in the world.
Maybe Lisa will be his therapist when the time comes. I will pass this information on to my girlfriend.
Take care all!
HI
NO words yet from Mar. So give a guess when that sweet baby arrives.
Anti M - I hope your Dr. Bill does visit Nick - how warming to the heart.
Val - 12 days !!!!!! count down to hug!
thanks for updates Blonde will send a message to be added to the wreath. Very touching idea.
Maggs - what's Angel up too? I found Shark this morning resting - with limbs spread eagle out and head resting on her hot rock. But she had moved her stuff blue turtle to be by the hot rock too and facing her. Cuddling mood I guess. Plan on taking the turtle with her to see Santa.
Does Angle see Santa?
Do any of you take your pets to see Santa? Just wondering.
Hi Tee and welcome here.
Don't worry davesmom - things will work out and someone here can answer your question
hugs all
