DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

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."

Comment by T-Lynn on October 30, 2014 at 11:56am: HI

Teh flowers are beautiful Barb.

Secret - Blondie has a secret and she isn't telling?! Blondie I think you need a flu shot - maybe several.

Maggs - doing better? You too Anti M and Kim.

How nice hubby was home Anti M . Glad you had a chance to get out, but sorry about the dishwasher.

Now we are moving teh washer and dryer down stairs. Good thing too- found out teh first owners did NOT have teh plumbing done right. So it will be corrected too and an April Air installed on the furnance. So dry in this house.

Been so busy with scouts. Not just my sessions - BUT all the extra events I HAD to go attend. I am even teaching a session this Saturday. They say a volunteer is needed and for some reason - up shoots my hand. My wiring must have a glich in it.

Getting ready for trick or treater. Carving pumpkins tonight.

And CANDY - are we ever ready .

Wish all a great day hugs

Comment by barbara10/08 on October 28, 2014 at 11:30pm: Lots of leaves still on the trees, but after this weekend, they'll be coming down fast! Today was beautiful, sunny & 74. We're getting that wintry mix right on trick or treat night:(
Got the last of the tomatoes and that is a wrap for this growing season.

AntiM-sounds like a fun drive! Too bad about the floor, but hey, new dishwasher should be cool. Mmmm, food sounds so good.

Blondie- you can't do that! you have to Tell us what the good news is!!!

Comment by Anti M on October 28, 2014 at 9:30am: Hubby was home, so on Sunday we took off and drove the old Pony Express Trail in the Utah desert. It is unpaved, but pretty well graded, so even though we had the pickup, the car would have made most of it. At one point, it seemed like we were the only people out there, and we may have been.

Yesterday he discovered the dishwasher has been leaking under the unit, and went into the floor/basement ceiling. So he had to take care of that. No dishwasher for a couple weeks while the floor dries. I got a good one on clearance at Lowe's and they will hold it until we are ready for it. We like the military discount they offer!

Also, house cleaning, covering up the swamp cooler on the roof, flu shots, groceries, a dental appointment for him, and our monthly couples massage. Chili verde porkchops in the slowcooker with cornbread stuffing on the side for supper, yum!

Comment by Anti M on October 25, 2014 at 7:05am: My husband is a better housekeeper than I am, and he often cooks when he is home. He even does laundry properly, He says when he was single and had an apartment, that girls would think he was cheating because they could not believe a single man could keep a place so nice and clean.

Comment by T-Lynn on October 22, 2014 at 10:44am: Maggs - let the guys move the bike. hope you are feeling better.

Comment by T-Lynn on October 22, 2014 at 10:43am: Great laugh Blondie.

Comment by Mississippi Mom on October 22, 2014 at 10:10am: Oh Blondie, this is so funny! I am going to print this and put it on my fridge! I have been telling my hubby for years that in my next life, I am coming back as a MAN! He just laughs. I told him that last night when he let me know there was no more toilet paper in the bathroom, that he knows where I store the packs of toilet paper and he could walk to the closet and get a pack and put a roll on the holder, and put the rest in the drawer. He was laying in the bed grinning, and said, "I just am not good at that."! LOL! I have told him for years that he has it made.

Comment by T-Lynn on October 21, 2014 at 11:49am: HI,

I agree teh cottage is sweet.

Welcome new moms.

nice to see you back and chatting Barb.

Wish I had some gossip - I hate being without any.

So I will just wish all a great day hugs

Comment by barbara10/08 on October 21, 2014 at 11:23am: I'm back:) Took Forever to get needed documents and pics off old computer as I am terrible at backing things up and it took about 45 min each time to even be able to log in!
Got to Skype with sailor this weekend-we could see him, but he could not see us as the webcam will not work with windows 8 ( absolutely Hate windows 8, it is Such a pain!). But got to see virtual tour of their new apt. Their stuff finally all arrived from Japan. Sailor looks so much more rested, so far he has not had the constant shift changes, so he actually has a regular sleep schedule.
Welcome new moms!:)
T-lynn-so exciting! Love the announcement!
Kim-he will Love the mug! Great idea!
Joshmom-love the witch fun! You ladies rock!
Blondie, sorry for your loss, even if it was a blessing. Love the dress! The cottage sounds wonderful!
Maggs-isn't it amazing how much stuff you can transport in a minivan? (moms can make anything fit :))
