      From lilje Yesterday

      The hug came up. I totally understand your fear and hatred of Muslims, but it's the men not the women who are evil. I pity the women. They are so abused, brainwashed and traumitized from birth onward. They are not allowed to think or act for themselves. I can't imagine living like that. When they get to this country it must be a total shock to them.

      I too think we're in for another 9-11 type action in the not to distant future. No one is afraid of Obama and it's fear af retaliation that kept us safe during the Bush administration. He might not have been the most likeable guy, but he was an asshole and would have leveled any country that supported the type of terrorism that gave birth to another 9-11 type action. I don't think Obama has the balls for it. He's too busy making "nice" with the rest of the world instead of making the US strong.

      Have fun with your BBQ tonite. Love and hugs, Beth

      Your new hug won't post all I get is the first 2 lines. I think is a DS glitch. Oh well maybe it will load later on today. Obama is on Fox News spewing about the Health Care Reform Bill in all it's 2,000+ pages of glory. OMG I can't believe they're going to actually pass this thing. We are doomed. I wonder if they can touch military health benefits? I think those are under the control of the VA and the DOD so I don't think those can be touched but you never know with these guys they're pretty shifty. I've got the TV on for noise. It's awfully quiet with Tim gone and the Fox channel makes me think that he's here lol. Trick the mind and stay sane.

      My U of AZ Wildcats are playing today at 1:30 so I'll have the game to watch in a little bit. I like going to the games with Tim, but I gave the tickets to Jason today so he can go with his bud and I'll watch it on TV. To be honest, I really prefer to watch the games on TV, I can actually tell what is going on. At the stadium there's no commentator telling me what's going on and everything seems to be going on at the wrong end of the field. Of course, at the stadium, there is coton candy, but Jason promised to bring some home for me. Isn't he a great kid?

      Love and Hugs, Beth

      We have a huge population of muslims here in Tucson and southern AZ. Think about it, it's a desert just like their native land, they love it here. There has to be 2 dozen or more mosques in the area especially if you include Phoenix which is only 100 miles up I-10. I'm not racist but I don't like Muslim men because of the disdain they have for all women. I think it's disgusting and doesn't belong in the US. I know there's freedom of religion here, but there is also freedom for all people here and I don't believe Muslim women in the US are any freer here than they are in Muslim countries. I also think that there are cells plotting all kinds of nasty stuff against us right under our proverbial noses, but that's just my opinion. I haven't felt safe that way since Obama was elected. If it happened on a military installation, think how easily it could happen in the general population. The whole thing is just too scary. We are just not safe anymore and haven't been for a while. I don't know what we can do to fix the problem though.

      I hope for your sake and his that Nathan doesn't get redeployed to the mideast. But you say he wants to go. Why? He's already done his duty. Two tours is definitely his fair share I would think. Hugs and Love, Beth

      From lilje Friday

      Tim spent 4 years stationed at Ft Hood. He told me the place is ginormous. It's like a city unto it'self. That really is horrible what happened there. All it takes is one nut and all hell breaks loose. You have to wonder how many other people like that are around just waiting for the right time and place to go off. It's all kind of scary when you get to thinking about it.


      I didn't know your son was deployed to Irac. How many tours did he have and when did he go? You must have been so worried but so proud of him. He won't have to go back again will he? Tim and I both missed the first Gulf War by sheer luck. He was in a non-deployable billett and I was deployed to Honduras instead of the gulf to play in the jungle for 4 months. Jason was only 2, it wasn't a well timed deployment, but they rarely were.

      You got me thinking about old times back in the military and how wild and crazy everything was. I can't believe the hours we use to keep and the work schedule--a sixty hour week was nornal. I don't know how I did it, but I really loved it. Sometimes I think back and miss the excitement. I did a lot of protocol and worked visits setting up tours and parties. I usually volunteered to do the ladies which to me was a lot more fun than hanging out with the stuffy old men. I never got off on the power trip of it all. I just liked to have fun. Of course there was an awful lot of paperwork too but you just got through it. Other than one really nasty boss, I had a great time in the Air Force and I'd do it again if I could, well maybe not with Obama as Commander in Chief lol.
      Love and Hugs, Beth

      Oh it's been quite a day. I thought my quit was over for sure! I've just been so out of sorts all day today. I guess it's cuz Tim's gone to Mexico but he's gone before and it's never really bothered me that much. I just had a full-blown panic attack this morning and haven't had one of those in months. Oh well, it's over now, I'm just left with the jitters, lol.

      I wish I had news to tell you but there is nothing going on here except that Jason needs his wisdom teeth removed. I wonder how much that is gonna cost me? We've got dental insurance but I doubt it will cover all of it. He's gonna get it done over Christmas break, or so he is planning to.

      I'm totally lame the day after I go to that aerobics class. I'm just getting too old. I tell you, I can't move today, even my hair hurts. I know the exercise is good for me but......oh I need to whine! I wonder how long it will be before I can do the class without being in total pain the next day. You think a month maybe? I'm a patient person when I have to be (Ya right).

      We're going to cook the turkey on the BBQ again this year. Tim does it on the spit and it comes out real moist and tasty. It's honestly the only way I like turkey, but then I've never had it deep fried, I hear that's good too. I'm really looking forward to Thanksgiving this year. I guess it's because I haven't had any good food to eat lately. I can't remember the last time I had mashed potatoes and gravy. I'm going to make all the yummy stuff for turkey day and forget about the diet for 1 day. Sweet potatoes and stuffing and pecan pie and cheesecake with real whipped cream. YUM! Am I forgetting anything? Oh yeah, those cute little rolls that come out of the can, croissants, need to make those too, and green bean casserole. I think that will do it at my house anyway. What are you making? Oh I'll have to get a bottle of wine for Betty. Everything will be a little manic but that will be okay for the day.

      Hugs and love, Beth
