No booze anywhere and restricted travel.  This will NOT help morale at all, and all because of one DUI offbase.  The CO is insane.

Got a Facebook post from sailor stating no alcohol allowed even in the barracks because of the drunk driving accident in Okinawa. Not a happy sailor....

HI ,

 Hope everyone had a good weekend. We did here. Between - finishing painting the stairwell, sanding - varnishing and sealing three windows and patio doors and paper work - we did get to have two cook outs.

Riker cut a moral through!   Yippe - maybe he will have a break fro cutting teeth.

I found out why I cannot get my photos from my phone onto fb. FB and I disagree about passwords again. Working on it tonight - maybe i will win and I get my pics on.

Wish all a great evening hugs

Comment by T-Lynn on May 23, 2016 at 9:33pm

HI

Gentle hugs NavyMum.

Maggs - I could not believe what I read - poor Angel. So glad you heard the call for help and was able to get her in fast. Like Blondie - do you know the other cat? I was surprised to hear that she went out in just a couple of days - so she is strong in spirit. And with your foot being hurt - WOW - you jumping into action for Angel. o how is yoru foot doing?

Well Blondie - know how you feel - I had the same thing happen a couple of times. could not check in to Navy Moms. And when you got gossip t share and can't - you just wan to stream!  Sorry Conor did not get to go, but why did they pick a weekend with graduations and proms going on. Maybe a new person did not realize this. Hope things are runnign smoothly now.

Howdy - Miss:). I love to paint. Usually I end up wearing alot - but its fun. Looking forward to seeing your new kitchen. I agree with others - your hubby is just resting up to get it all done in a weekend. But have not a clue about your pool.  Now with weather getting warmer - you must want to jump in and relax . Hope that you can soon

Ok - you know who you are - check in.

My gossip tank is low.

Need tog et along - eyes are so itchy. I will be so glad when it rains here tomorrow. Hoping the rains cleans out the air of polens.

Sweet dreams all hugs

Hugs for your family Navyfan. The support of our Navy family is like no other.

I'm so very sorry for your loss. Prayers for the repose of your FIL and comfort for all who mourn his loss.

Comment by Mississippi Mom on May 20, 2016 at 2:43pm

Hello to all!  I know it has been forever since I have communicated, but I have been keeping up, and praying for the needs.  Welcome to all new Moms!  Blondie, bless your heart, computer problems are about as bad as a toothache!  I don't even know to where to begin....my kitchen is 99.9% done.  I think my hubby has either hit burnout or has a mental block.   All that he lacks finishing is running my lights and receptacles  underneath my cabinets.  I do have some plugs but just not where I want them. I am so tickled with everything, and just ready to wind it all up and get all of the tools back to the shop.   After he found a stopping point in the kitchen, we had to start working on our pool.  We had a slow leak all last summer.  Hubby thought it was a small hole in the liner,so we have replaced that, along with patching every little little crack and crevice in the poolcrete, and guess what??? We still have a small leak! UGH!  He has been trying to figure that out and hopefully get it fixed.   We also moved our daughter to Columbus, GA in March to start a new job with KIA.  She  is loving it, but she said they are about to kill her!  She has been working 12 hour days and on Saturdays for the past several weeks.   She is hoping to get back on her regular hours.  She loves the work and loves where she is living. My son is is flight school and has finished his first semester.  He is loveing flying.   T-Lynn I need you to come to my house.   I have had paint bought since last May to repaint son's bedroom.  I think I am about burned out too on the remodeling thing and don't want to even start it.   Maybe one day soon....  Just got back from physical therapy on both knees, and I am also having it on my right heel,with a stretched Achilles tendon, will be so happy when this all settles down.  Hope all of you are doing great and that each of have a wonderful weekend.

HI all :).

 Blondie - fingers crossed that by now - your computer is behaving. And that Blondie JR gets her infor soon too. That Kids Day sounded fun. Did Conor attend?

Anti M - I think I was visited San Diego once. In 1960. So thanks for the the site, I know things have changed.

I forgot the Mom who's Grandfather will be passing. Is there a chance for sailor and his Grandfather to skype? I just thought it would nice if they could have a time to chat.

Well, still in planning mode for big trip in July. But at least one big job was finished here at home. Hubby and I were able to paint our living area its NEW calming and fun color. Now the place feels like ours and reflects the afternoon adn evening light. No darkness anymore! Will psot pics when I can remember how to get them off my phone!

Maggs - yes - POSITIVE thoughts and affirmations too. funny - I have a book that has daily affirmations and one relly stuck with me. It said: " Your affirmations still work for you - even though you think they don't at times" I will say some for you too . Gentle hugs.  Now what is Angel up too?

Shark is buys on her Spring walk abouts. But at least she is eating. She now will stop in front of the patio doors and look out. I know she would like the patio doors open - but its just still too cold here.

 hey need to get along - have dinner to make. hugs all

hey - Kim - Miss - JoshMom - Drama - Kathy CHECK IN !

Comment by Anti M on May 16, 2016 at 12:43pm

You need to not check US news sources.  They only report earthquakes big enough to kill people.  

Try NHK:

http://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/

or Japan Today:

http://www.japantoday.com/

Or bookmark an earthquake tracker

We are used to hurricanes - this was his first earthquake - I told him the same, get ready for some safety drills.  Know what I find funny and odd, no one is reporting it on our end - nothing of Fox or CNN.  He called me on way in to work, so first thing I did was go online - saw one article after digging deep on Fox's site.  Guess Trumps latest drama is more important.  Thanks for words of encouragement.  Funny you say 5.6 is a good shaker - we look to cat 3 as a good party hurricane.
