Your health, Your family. Your friends.
The place you have to live and the food on your table.
The people who have touched your lives and those you have touched.
Most of all, the fact you are alive.
There are many more but I know, you already know them.
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you and your familes, loved ones and friends, even those you don't know.
May the Lord Bless and Keep you all safe.
Love, Paul

Most people suffer from night mares and I wish I was one of you. I call the dreams I have terror mares and they are not the thing I usally share with people but, tonight, this one woke me up crying.
Most people are unaware that there are certian amusement parks, around the world, that have armed response units to react in the emergency there is a terrorist attacks at specific ones. I will not go into the details or name names but, I have participated in one.
I've been getting pissed of at a guy in my "Home Group" at the place I attend my AA meetings. This guy has, in the past few months, started saying that he was Lieutentant in the Army during the Vietnam war and has 156 confirmed kills and it pisses me off. He has also bragged that he has only a 3rd grade education, in the past. No Vet braggs about the number of people he has killed, it haunts us, we try to forget
When I joined the Army it was required that you have at least a High School Diploma or a General Equaloviency (?) Degree (a GED). Some of the things I am going to tell you I have only told my sponsor and no one else knows about it.
When I "graduated" from high school I did so a year early. I went to summer school the summer before I was a Freshman and continued to do so until the after the summer of my junior year and was entitle to graduate a year early. I did this so I could join the Army and go to Vietnam. I was afraid the war would be over before I would be old enough to go.
My family life was hell. My father was a paranoid schitzophrenic and a very violent man. I posted in my blog entitled "He wanted to be a tough guy" about a beating my father gave me, one time, which require to have my mother cut my clothes off me. When I was sent to see a Psychratist, after I was hit by a drunk driver at work, he wanted to know why I was so angry and told me to tell him about my child hood.
I did and he stopped me, because he was crying and told me, "You weren't abused, you were tortured." My father always told me I would be better off dead and the world would be a better place if I was dead. My older sister did the same. So, I joined the Army and voulenteered for Vietnam, not for 1 tour but for 2. I thought that if my death was the only thing that was going to make my family happy I was going to die in Vietnam. Believe me, I tried. I couldn't kill myself but, being killed in action was something I could do. When I was discharged and at my parents house my father said, "Why didn't you do us all a favor and get yourself killed this time?"
My father had served in the pacific with the Marines during the battle of Guadal Canal and The Soloman Islands. His father, a Virginia Military Institute graduate, was a career Army officer. His father was the 1st U.S. Marshall in the Terriorty of Texas and I had been an Eagle Boy Scout. I qualified for a Naval ROTC program and did a commitment just as any Reserve Officer, in the military would do actually, more.
Once a week I attended military training classes at a Navy base and 2 weeks of active duty training every summer. I have sailed on a mine sweeper from Long Beach to San Diego, on an old WWII diesel submarine (a pig boat) and did a 2 week voyage from Long Beach to Pearl Harbor on an Air Craft carrier. So when I joined the Army I was destined to become an Office, even though I didn't want to be one.
On my second tour I was a combat platoon leader and was "transferred" (kicked) out of the infantry and assigned to a Special Operations Group because I was too violent for the infantry. SOG's are not assigned to Infantry Battalions due to the nature of their opperations. I was assigned to a Support Battalion, remember, we were not supposed to exist.
The commanding office was some punk ass 22 yr old captian from the Quarter Master Corps, a fucking supply clerk. I was a 20 yr old LT. It was his goal in life to make me a "Real Soldier." Shine my boots, cut my hair and give him the respect his rank, not he, demanded. I thought he was a punk and let him know it. Being unable to bust me for anything more that being disrespectful and insuborinate he and his suck ass 1st Sergeant set me up to be busted for possesion of herion. I was Court Martialed and sentenced to 6 months of confinement and hard labor. I told my JAG attorney, a major, that before I did one day in jail I would kill both the captain and his snitch. The Major sent the Court Martial, on appeal, to the commanding general and the Court Martial was dismissed. I was discharged as a Pvt E-1, the lowest rank in the Army.
Now this guy goes around telling every one bull shit about being a Platoon Leader (a LT) in the Army claiming to have 156 confirmed kills. I told him that "White Feather", a Marine Corps sniper had only 132, which is true, the most prolific killer the U.S. military has ever produced. He served 5 tours. A confirmed kill means that some one other than you witnessed it. But this guy keeps up his bull shit. When ever I and some of the other vets start talking he runs up to us, like a puppy dog, and expects to be a part of our conversations. We don't include him in our conversations. I have told one of them about my building anger and I have told other people as well. I'm told to ignore him and to consider the source and I have tried to but I have been unsucessful. He knows I'm upset with him but he thinks it's because when he would come up to talk to me I would tell him to eat shit. He'd reply, "Well, piss on you." He thought I was joking but, his wife could tell other wise so he stopped saying that to me. Now he thinks every thing is great and I'm going to be his friend, again. The only thing I do to him is say hi and shake his hand, when he offers it.
I keep trying to have a talk with him about his "Military Career" and ask him general questions about his time in the Army and draw out his lie and tell him he is a liar and to stop claiming he is a Vet because I consider what he is doing an insult to me and every person who has ever served in the military. But, he avoids me after and before the meetings.
I'm pissed off at the Military for not letting me and a lot of other Vets re-enlist during the 1st Gulf War. We were too old, they said. We told them we only wanted to be training instructors, we were still denied.
I saw something on the news about how some Marines were killed in Iraq and got pissed off. These young men have no idea of how you fight a war, especially in a house to house environment and they are dying needlesly. I was fortunate to be trained by men who had served in WWII and Korea, these young people are being trained by people without any real knowledge of how to fight a war.
When they enter a building they use SWAT tatics not Military tatics, and it is getting them killed. The true fact of war is: kill or be killed. There are only two types of soldiers, "The quick and the dead." In a suspected hostile environment: shoot first, ask questions later. But, it's a kinder, gentler nation we live in. Colddel every one and let them get away with murder, sacrifice our young people because Congress wants to run the war the same way they did in Vietnam. This war is taking longer than WWII, the critics say. Well, Hell Yeah! The Allies bombed the shit out of Germany and most of Europe but now we're afraid of political fall out so we let the enemy have a place to hide. We don't destroy villages or towns or their factories as in WWII and with the rules of engagement, as they are, we're going to loose more people.
This is my terror mare.
I am taking part in one of these response senarrios and it is a live fire exercise. We are being shot at by men on the ground and by heliocopters, I'm part of the terrorist unit and we have hit our target and trying to escape we're picking up weapons and ammo from people on the ground. We've made it over this hill and across a bridge but we realize that our escape has been cut off so we make our way to some concret culverts (Huge drainage pipe) and ther we run into one of the units we are trying to evade. One young man confronts me and we beging to struggle and using a Judo technique of using your opponets strength against him I smash his weapon into his throat, crushing his wind pipe. Opperating on instinct, I kill him. Realizing what I have done I try to give him mouth to mouth ressucatation and medical treatment. His friends are yelling and sceaming at me and I keep trying to bring him back to llife. I can not and beging to cry, uncontrollably.
And that's how I wake up. Sobbing, my head aching and my neck in pain and I have been unable to get back to sleep. That was over 3 hrs ago and I haven't been able to call any one, yet, to talk to them about it, so I'm telling you in hopes that it will help me get over this terror mare and I can go back to sleep.
I appologize for this but, I had to get it out. I'm crying, again. I even went out and bought some cigaretts, it's been 3 months since I smoked one.
Thank you for listening.

I know that Jade4U has not been on the boards for a while so, I sent her an email to see how see is doing.
She relied she is doing well and only seeing a few regular clients at this time. She is spending the majority of her time taking care of the new baby, who is fat and happy and has started a new web site for posting blogs of "Serious" (?) providers and hobbyists.
Here is the web site address. She asked me to share it.
http://wweppp.invisioni.com
I tried to put this in as a URL but don't know how to do it.
I'm sure one other lady from Canada knows how to do this, so thank you in advance, dominiex

Jade Tan posted a blog about getting Gardasil vaccinations and SexyTWO wrote a comment about it. I did some research and have posted an article about Gardasil. I got the info from the MERICK web site, the manufacturer, and posted it in an article.
I hope all the providers and hobbyists read it. A lot of good information to protect your health and what it won't prevent.
Keep safe.

My sister is home from the hospital and I am very relieved. She understood why I didn't go to visit her, although we talked on the phone every day. She thought it was because of all the operations I have had but, it is because I was worried about her being contagious.
She's weak and still running a fever and I am making her drink a quart of water every hour she is awake. I know that is one way to help bring it down and I open the windows and sliding glass ddoor for her to keep the cool. I freeze, but it's necessary to keep her tempature down.
The doctor lanced her infection site twice and the swelling is going down but she is still in a lot of pain. I am changing her dressing and wraping her arm in Cling wrap so she is able to shower. It is working out very well, her incision has not gotten wet once. I'm pretty proud of my idea, she was thinking of using a plastic bag. The cling wrap works wonderfully.
I'm not happy with the antibiotics they sent her home with. I don't think they're strong enough but, I have to realize that she suffers from Lupus and Dietabities and that limits they type of antibiotics she can take.
Thankfully, she can bathe and go to the bathroom with out any assistance. I'm cooking and cleaning for her and doing her laundry, which I don't mind doing.
She has complained of vomiting and I explained tp her: you can not take the medications you are without having some food in your stomache. Our older sister died from Alcohol and Drug abuse and the main reason was: she did not eat, properly, so her stomache and intestines were destroyed.
I told her that I was going to start cooking her meals with out any spices on them and she would start eating 3-4 times a day. She can not eat much, yet but, I'm working on that as well. I'm giving her plain oatmeal for breakfast, a sandwich with a little meat and a lot of vegs for lunch, and unseasoned meat and vegies for diner. I can deal wit the vegies but, I'm cooking the meat seperately.
Unseasoned chicken, UGH. I do not like chicken, it was our main meal on the farm.
I will be taking her to all her appointments and am going to be appointed her conservator. That way I will be able to have all her assets transfered into my name and then she will have no income and will qualify for medical assistance. We will set up a new and seperate bank account, in my name, but the debit card will be in her's. It legal, so we're going to do it.
This is going to be a lot of work but it is what needs to be done and I've learned that to get something from the govt, you need to know how to work the system. Fighting the VA has been good experience.

I'd like to wish every one a Happy Veteran's Day and Happy Thanksgiving.
I am going to be going wild turkey hunting next week, so I hope to be having fresh turkey for diner.
I am only going to post part of this news article here. The rest will be in the News and Politics section of the Forum.
Needless to say, it me, very, upset.
AP
Members of a fundamentalist Kansas church ordered to pay nearly $11 million in damages to a grieving father smiled as they walked out of the courtroom, vowing that the verdict would not deter them from protesting at military funerals.
Members promised to picket future funerals with placards bearing such slogans as "Thank God for dead soldiers" and "God hates fags."
The group believes that U.S. deaths in the Iraq war are punishment for the nation's tolerance of homosexuality. The say they are entitled to protest at funerals under the First Amendment, which guarantees freedom of speech and religion.
This makes me sick.

I've only slept about 8 hours in the last 72. My sister is still in the hospital and they don't know what type of infectio she has, yet. She is on IV Vancomycin treatments. It is the 3rd stongest antibiotic made and she doesn't have medical insurance.
The 1st time she was hospitalized for her heart problems, the bill for 30 hrs was $18,000. Now it's been 48 hrs and no word from the doctor when she will be released.
I had a spinal infection after my back was injuried and under went IV Vancomycin treatment for 30 days. The doctor's never learned what type of infection I had. Thank God, it was a worker's comp injury because the Vacomycin treatments alone were over $750,000. That's not including the 9 days in the hospital, the two surgeries I under went to discover the infection or the home care that I had to be given.
And my sister doesn't have insurance.
There is a wonderful woman at the clinic who is helping me to get assistance for my sister and is helping fill out forms for a local charity organization that will pay hospital bill for people with out money or insurance. I guess I know an organization that is going to end up in my Living Trust. Forget my son and niece, these people are helping keep my sister alive.
I've been all over this web site for the past 2 days and I apologize for that but, this is the only thing that is keeping from breaking down and crying or going crazy.
I went to an AA meeting last night and "chaired" the meeting. I was asked to come to one tonight and "chair" and different meeting. "Chairing" means I am the speaker at the meeting.
People say that I am an inspiration to them, why I don't know. But last night a freind told me it was not what I had accomplished while I have been sober but, what I have endured and have not had to drink over it.
He's right. I tell people: If I can get sober, you can get sober.
We talk about our last drink, so we don't forget where we came from. Well, I didn't have a last drink. I was they type of alcoholic that use alcohol like a drug. I used it IV. Talk about an easy way to kill your self, doctors and nurses say I'm a miricale.
I'm just me. Nothing more.
A lot of you, on this site, have become a very important part of my life, even if you don't know it. I appericate you, your comments, your posts and blogs.
God Bless you all and keep you safe.

Although I'm tired and beat and worried about my sister. Today, is the day that I celebrate 25 yrs of being a member of Alcholics Anonymous. That is one year longer than I was a drunk.
I've been having problems with this because I have be doubting the quality of my sobriety and wondering if I should just accept a one year token instead of a 25 yr token.
I feel like I was a drunk for 24 yrs and now I've be sober for 24 and now that it's my 25th yr of sobriety, shouldn't I just be celebrating 1 yr?
Doesn't the 24 yrs of sobriety just make up of the 24 yrs of using? So aren't I, really, only sober for 1 yr.
The crap we put our selves through when we are tired and worried about family members drives me crazy.

The spider bite has turned out to be a Resistant Staphylococus Aureus infection. My sister has been hospitalized and I'm worried. She was doing so well and now to be back in the hospital is just dishearting.
Things were looking good and she seemed to be doing so well. I just want to cry.
I know the only thing I can do is pray and hope that the Docs will do all they can and give her the best care but, I'm still worried.
Please, folks, I know I post a lot of stuff about these super bugs, take the time to read them. Some one you know or love could be next.
It's my baby sister.
God bless you and keep you safe.

Well, I just got over being operated on and my sister came back from L.A. and she was doing really well. She has lost 33 lbs since moving in with me, in April. I've been setting up her diet and she has be shopping at health food stores and we've been weighing her portions and following the Dr's instructions. We go for a walk every day and I get her to do knee bends and toe raised to help strengthen her legs. I've even got her doing isometrics in her door way, pushing against the door fram.
Well, the first night she was back she asked me in the morning to check a spot on her back. I told her it looked like a spider bite and to change her bedding.
She had put on clean sheets before she left for L.A. and her other set was in her laundry basket. I took them out and put them in the washer and that night she slept in the same sheets.
The next morning her elbow was swollen and red and puffy. I told her, that was a spider bite and we got her to the Dr's. The doc wasn't sure, exactly what it was but put her on antibiotics to fight any infection.
We had to go back to the Dr's today and they changed her meds. They changed them to one that would fight infections that might affect her heart because her blood pressure has been going crazy. I've been giving her Gator Aid because of the potassium in it and gave her a sweet potato for dinner last night.
Tonight she's been vomitting and had the chills, seriously. I built a fire and had her sit next to the wood stove to get warm. She was shaking.
I then went in to make her a cup of hot tea and gave it to her and told her I was going to run some hot water so she could take a shower or bath. I told her that the only way to stop shivering was to warm her body core up so she needed to get in the tub.
She took a shower that was way to short but when she got out of the shower she was still shivering. I wrapped her up in towels, dried off her back and placed two towels around her shoulders and one over her head. I told her to get in bed and took her extra pillows and placed them next to her body, under the sheets. This is a great way to creat heat, from your body. The pillows create a dead air space and the pillows lock in the heat and prevent it from escaping (cold weather survival technique) and had her place her head under the sheet and breathe out through her mouth.
I got her some extra blankets and placed them over her and have been waiting to see if she was going to get sick, again, or fall asleep.
Thankfully, she sleeping. Now I can go to bed.
We have to go back to the Dr's today and they will run some test to see if she needs to be given anti biotics by an IV.
God knows I'm praying about that. Hopefully, we'll be able to manage with out going to that extreme.

I haven't been posting blogs lately because I had to have surgery on my back. As some of you know I was hit by a drunk driver and suffered cervical and lumbar spinal injuries.
I've been in terrible pain and unable to do much of any thing lately except try to get well. One great thing I learned from the nurologist is that there is now a pain pill that is not a narcotic and I am taking it. It works great, at least for me! It is called Gabapentin (Actavis Elisabe) and the poperties of this medicine are the complete oppisite of a narcotic.
Narcotics do not, really, rellieve pain. The narcotic disconects your brain from all fucntions and the seperation of activity in the brain leads you to think that you are not in pain.
Gabapentin on the other hand has the properties and abilities to sheath the nerve ending that send pain to the brain. No stupidity and no addiction!!! That is what I love about it. I hate feeling stupid and not in control of what I am doing or thinking. Gabapentin also meakes me feel like I can do things that I was unable to do while on the narcotic pain meds. And I hate being stupid and have never liked having to take narcotics for pain. I have never folowed the Dr's orders on taking pain meds for that reason. I was rx'd 4-8 a day and I only took 1 or 2 when I was taking them. Now I don't take any!!!!!
So, if your in pain ask your doc about Gabapentin.
I also feel weird about being a hobbyist with more post than the ladies on this site.
Take care and be safe.

I know, it sound like the title to a movie but what do all these things have in common? Simple, transportation.
The transport of goods, people and services but more important, information.
Are you aware that if two cars are traveling down the road, doing the posted speed limit and the 1st car slows down causing the 2nd car to tap it's brakes that within 15 mins cars will be stopping at the same place? It's a proven fact. Millions of $ have been spent on this and a million other things that affect transportation.
Weather is the number one event that affects transportation but in today's world it is electronics. Air, rail and a large part of land transportation are all controled by electronic information. What's that got to do with this blog?
Simple, all info on this web site and all others are transmitted by electronic means and the same effect that a slowing car has on traffic the same principle applies to electronic information.
Did you know that by the time an improvement is planned, drawn up and approved for transportation and construction is begun it is out of date? The plans were made for improvements for the problem that existed when the plans were made. They do not take into consideration the fact that the improvements will do nothing to eliviate (?) problems to come. It's a no win situation. Do you think the inventors of the web ever expected it to be so big?
And the same problem exists within the internet that exists in transportation.
If a problems developes in London it can affect air travel world wide. Look what happened during the bombing there. Transportation came to a stop the same in the US on 9/11. So, when a problem occurs on the internet it affects the entire net.
There are only so many routes of travel by air, land and sea and even less by land based communications. How many trans-Alantic and trans-Pacific land lines exist for communication? I don't know but I do know for today's society it is not enough. One hic-up and all communications are affected, and it filters down to every web site.
I read a lot of complaints about the web site and the Admin but I ask who is really to blame.
When the earth quake occured in the San Francisco people didn't complain about it collapsing the Bay Bridge but they did complain about the collapse of the Cypress Structure. Excuse me, but do you think the highway dept wanted to build the Cypress structure? Hell, no! The city and county of Oakland determined where it would go and how it would be built the state did not want to build a double deck freeway over land fill but that's the only place they were allowed to build.
I read a lot of complaints about the web site and site admin but who is really to blame? The people working to fix problems that some one else is responsible for or the people trying to fix them? This is a world wide web site can you imagine what it must be like to work on a system like this, I can't. I wouldn't. I'd break the whole thing and say FI. Let every one worry about themselves but Admin doesn't do that. And Admin isn't just one person, there is a team that works together to keep this site running and I, for one, am greatful that there is a team of people willing to do this.
What are you complaining about? The site is free and this team is trying to do every thing they can. Do you complain when some one gives you a gift?
Every one should lighten up. There are problems there will be problems, it is a part of daily life. Just be thanful that we have a site like this to go to.
I know, I'm a hobbyist so points, activity and rep don't really matter to me but I do understand the concerns of providers but, again, give 'em some time things will work out.

I have just finished writing an article about my adventure with the woman I went Zip lining with. I could not write a review about our trip but after our kayaking adventure she consented to the article I wrote. I will write another one about our kayaking tour. Stay tuned for the next installment. I had thought I would be able to write about both of our adventures in one article, was I wrong. Hope you enjoy.

I have no idea of who Umru al-Qais was but I do appericate his thoughts. One other man who greatly influenced the world of sexuality was Lenny Bruce. He's the one who pressed the govenment on the rights of free speech by using "Vulguar" language in his routines.
"Cocksucker. I can't understand why I'm always being arrested for saying 'Cocksucker'. Why, every cosmopolitian woman I've met is a cocksucker, why's that dirty?"
Of course, he was arrested, again.

Just got back from a trip to Vancouver, BC, where I went ocean kayaking. It's a big sport in BC a lot bigger than in San Fran or Monterey. When I was checking out sites there were ads for companies that offered tours up to 5 and 7 days, I imagine you could go longer. There are areas when you can see Orcas and Whales but I don't know if I could handle the cold and wet.
Had a great time. It rained the morning of the day we were to go kayaking but by the time we got to the bay it had stopped. I was dressed to be warm, this time, I froze my ass zip lining at Whistler but it was so warm I was down to my tee shirt most of the time. I forgot to take my camera on the kayak with me and left it in my shoe. The company made it sound like You were going to get wet so I took extra shoes and pants, like suggested, and had all that junk and forgot the camera. The other couple had just returned from their honneymoon and took a picture of us and I hope to get a copy.
Went out to diner and as we walked out of the resturant it was pouring. I mean buckets. Luckily the side walk was covered and we were only going to get wet for 4 meters. Next morning rained again so we went out for breakfast and sight seeing. We tried to find a shooting range where I could teach her how to shoot but couldn't so we drove around and when the rain stopped we walked around.
We went to the curise ship terminal and found a map of where we had gone kayaking and discovered that we had gone about 7 klm in 3 hrs. That's about 3 miles, a lot faster than the guide thought we could do my friend grew up in a comercial fishing family, the guy and his wife had a canoe and I've done row boats and rafting. I was pretty amazed at how fast we moved and I thought I was the slowest my friend was like stone skiming across the water. She was fast no way I was going that fast, not with out an engine. She could beach the kayak, get out of it and be on dry land, she'd pull me up because I couldn't do the same.
We caught a little ferry to Grandville Island and had lunch and walked around. I found a place to buy some salmon and bring it home. Went back to the hotel and we found a place where she gets a pedicure and i went exploring.
I, really, recon an area. I check out every thing. People, traffic, buildings, streets, alleys every thing. It's really the way I learn. I need to see it, maps don't give me pictures and written directions are better but it's best for me to see. I walked to the end of the street and found water so I thought I was at the bay. I walked back the other way on the others sided of the street and found a store that sold Cuban cigars. My weakness. It's been about 2 weeks since I've had a cigarette and I know that if I have a Cuban it's over.
It's like booze for me. I'm looking at them. They're not RomeoyJulitte but Parags is good. The owner is on the phone so, I look some more. He's still on the phone and I've made my decision. He's still on the phone and I go look again. I notice the front of the case is not locked nor is the back. These cigars are sitting out in the open air. They're worthless.
I leave.
I tell my friend and she says, "I can't leave you alone any where, can I? You just find trouble." She's already got my number. But I tell her, "it's a sign." She agrees, then I tell her I forgot to put on my patch for the day and I hadn't wanted a cigarette all day and she asked if my mind was occupied by something else? Oh, yeah.
We go back to the hotel take a break and make reservations for diner at the Boat House with a window view (that was the hotel's input) and had a great view of the bay but no sunset. I learned that I had walked across the narrowest part of the istmaus (?) that is Vancouver so ,now I can say I've walke across Vancouver! What a line! Every one thought it was a silly joke from a crazy american.
Had a great diner and walked back to the hotel. It was a great time and I learned that Pemberton might have a longer and higher zip line and she thought she'd let me know. She thinks I'm crazy and hearing that just gives me more crazy ideas. I'll be going back. Maybe not this year but I'll be back.

I wrote in general chat about a woman I had an encounter with yesterday, and the shit is still going on today.
Twice, today, I've almost been hit by an idiot in a car. Why? Because the dumb MF's think that STOP signs don't apply to them. I am permenantly disabled due to a drunk driver and if you think I won't kill some SOB who hits me, again, you are wrong! So, if you run stop lights and stop signs and drive drunk remember this one thing.
If you ever hit me, and I survive, you will not.
Driving a car is a prividlege not a right. Your license can be revoked or suspended. The courts put you in jail for your stupidity, I will end your life.
Start treating other people with the same repect you want. In the US the supreme court has ruled that police department have no leagal obligation to ensure your safety, it is the individual's responsibility to ensure their own safety. That is the reason you cann't sue the cops after you call 911 and they fail to respond. Yet the local PD's refuse to issue concealed weapons permits.
People who kill people in car accidents are charged with vehicleular manslaughter, 2nd degree murder. You try to kill me (with your car) and I am within my legal to take your life defending mine!
Wake up, you are not the center of the universe.

Well, I'm off on another adventure. I'll be going ocean kayaking at Indian Arm in Canada. I'd sure like to find a lady in the Sacramento or SF, Monterey Bay Area that would do this type of activity. It'd sure be a lot easier on me. Last trip I took, due to air line delays and missed connections, I spent 8 hrs in airports for a flight that should have only been 2 hrs.
I'll be going to Vancouver to meet the lady who went zip lining with me. Although she is not a member of this site I will write a story about my visits with her and how she rocks my world!

I recently met with my "Uncle", he's actually my 2nd cousin but he's the same age as my dad. My uncle had a lot of information on the men on my father's side of my family. Something I had little information on.
I knew my father had served in the Pacific during WWII and fought with the Marines on Guadical Canal and the Soloman Islands, what I didn't know was that he enlisted for 6 yrs and only spent 18 months in the service before he was medically discharged for a head wound. He told me he got shot in the ass but never about his head wound from a Japaneese Zero. He was discharged from the Naval Hospital in San Diego.
His father was a career Army officer. He had fought in the Mexican American War as well as WWI. He was murdered as he was transporting an Army pay roll. He had been awarded a scholarship to VMI. He couldn't get into West Point because he was part Comanche Indian.
His father was the 1st U.S. Marshal in the Territory of Texas and was killed, by bank robbers, in the streets of Brownsville. His father was also a U.S. Marshal. There is a whole lot more info on the men and women of my family leading back to France, Denmark, Scotland and Wales and Mexico.
The men in my mother's family served in WWII as well as my father. One was killed in the Battle of Midway, the battle that defeated the Japanesse Navy and turned the tide of the war. One was a survivor of the bombing of Pearl Harbor while on the USS West Virginia. He was murdered in 1963.
Growing up with this history I knew when I was in 8th grade that I was going to go into the military. I spent 2 yrs in ROTC for the navy before joining the Army. I remember walking down the street, with my gf, and she asked what I thought of the war. I told her I was afraid it would be over before I got to go.
Now when young people ask me about joining the service I give them the advice of joining with a contract that specifies, exactly, what they are enlisting for. It's a contract, if the military breaks it you have the right to request an Honorable Discharge or get the training you enlisted for.
So, if any one asks you about the military remember to tell them about the contract.
