Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on May 28, 2011 at 11:45am: omg Craig that is hysterical, I will be sharing that with my friends. Thanks for the laugh :-)

BluAnjel- My sailor actually liked going to the dentist at bootcamp. She said it was the only time she had got to hear any real music since she left, other than the cadences and band and choir practice but she said those didn't count :-)

Comment by BluAnjel NoLongerNavyMom on May 28, 2011 at 11:43am: BTW- great pic Sunshine (so appropriate, eh!?) Sorry everyone, I'm catching up on posts fromthe last 20 hrs. Seems I'm a bit behind - I need to be in my sewing room!! (feel guilty, it was my SR's room and I didn't waste any time moving my stuff up from the basement... <sigh>)

Comment by Paula (was Capricorna) on May 28, 2011 at 11:37am: Congrats JessicaB!

Comment by JessicaB-Sailor's Sweetheart<3 on May 28, 2011 at 11:35am: Thank you(:

Comment by BluAnjel NoLongerNavyMom on May 28, 2011 at 11:33am: Congratulations Jessica! Well done!

Comment by JessicaB-Sailor's Sweetheart<3 on May 28, 2011 at 11:31am: Hey everyone(: I am officially a high school graduate! I wish my boyfriend could have been there, but I will send pictures. I have to admit, the pledge and national anthem made me a bit sad, but yay! I'm done!

Comment by BluAnjel NoLongerNavyMom on May 28, 2011 at 11:29am: They found a cavity in my dtr's mouth... she's getting it fixed this week. Good training grounds for the dental and corpsmen! Everyone have a blessed day! I'm off to write a letter and work on my SR's quilt. hopefully I'll be able to send the quilt to her in A school.... not that she'll need it in San Diego. (gotta find a really lightweight batting, maybe just some flannel will do)....

Comment by Craig on May 28, 2011 at 11:20am: Lala - That was good!....

Let me tell you mine. I was on temporary duty on a ship that had lots of Marines assigned. They were all stationed in San Diego, but I was stationed in the Philippines. I had to fly to San Diego to catch the ship, and it's 1st port after Hawaii was the Philippines. I told the guys in my division that once we got to the Philippines, I would take them 60 miles north to another base, Clark AFB, just so we get away from all the trouble the fleet sailor normally cause. So, we are driving to the other base and this E7 Marine said "Man, I have to go to the bathroom to do a #1" (it's not really what he said, but you get the picture). In the Philippines, it is normal just to pull off the road and uninate. I pulled over next to a field that had about 50 Filipino's planting rice. The guy didn't notice them at 1st, after he started, he see's them, and says "Craig, how do I tell these guys I had to go #1 really bad". I told him "maliit titi mo". So here he is waiving his arms and hands saying "maliit titi mo, maliit titi mo" thinking he was saying "I had to go really bad", when in actuallity, he was saying "I've got a small weiner". Man those filipinos were bent over laughing so hard at this dang American guy doing that.... Not something they see each day....

Needless to say, I got smacked when he asked me why they were all laughing.... ohh, the joys of knowing Tagalog (Filipino).....

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on May 28, 2011 at 11:03am: Dianne if you ever come up here with them to visit please call me. We love Boone/Blowing Rock area. And if you and your friends retire here you will feel very welcome. I think half the FL residents already live in Brevard lol. My brother also went to UNC Chapel Hill. He went to school with Michael Jordan and played on the basketball team and golf team with him. He was an assistant coach with Dean Smith his Senior year. We are definite Tarheel fans to the core. We bleed Carolina Blue lol. Our favorite saying is:

Duke is Puke, Wake is Fake, the team I hate is NC State, you can't get to heaven in a little red canoe cuz god's favorite color is Carolina Blue!!!! Go Heels! lol, sorry to all you Non Carolina fans :-)

Comment by diannep on May 28, 2011 at 10:18am: Lala: My parents built a home in the Boone/Blowing Rock area when I was in middle school and still have it. They go up 3 times a year and love it. In fact, they are just getting home today from another visit there. My brother went to college at UNC Chapel Hill, married an Asheville girl, and never came back! He missed the ocean lots, but loved the mountains. Believe me...I have thought about moving "north" but can't seem to get my friends to all move with me(yet! Maybe when they retire?)...and leaving them would be the hard part :-(

Hey, give me a call when you drive through Miami if you have time. Would LOVE to meet you in person! I'll pm you my cell number. Just in case!
