Big Sarge Update
Hey. I'm selling my trailer and shipping out with the military in 4 days. When I get set up, I'll update everyone with my location. I've got an easy mission & the Army will feed & house me.
I'm selling my trailer and other things to pay for an attorney to fight for my job. I really don't know what is going on with my position. I had 2 incidents occur on the same day that I was suspended.
1. I turned in an official notification of military service that was going to prevent me from being present at an awards ceremony, where my agency is being recognized as the best public safety department in the state. I was going to have my deputy chief receive the award.
2. The local head of the NAACP met with the Board. I do not know of any allegations against me.
The Board met for an hour and called me into the room. They suspended and would not give me a reasoon why. They did say there wasn't anything that I had really done wrong, but they were going to check on things. Then the Mayor gave a press release to the media.
I'm greatly puzzled by any hints of racism because earlier the Board had questioned whether I had Nazi tattoos, etc. I was made to remove my shirt and display my tattoos. That was when I reminded them that I am a Jew with a biracial daughter. That was also the meeting I declared it a hostile work enviroment. Plus, I'm even a member of the NAACP.
Who knows what is going on when it comes to small town politics. They still haven't told me & many folks are jumping to the conclusion that because the NAACP was there, that I must be a racsist. Little do they know....
Sidenote to Merc - yep, that's a tracker I was driving. I have it set up to take atv attachments & I can go just about anyplace. Plus, it is a whole lot easier on my prostate than a 4 wheeler. LOL. I pland to lift it slightly & put a winch bumper on it
Please stay in touch, Sarge.
I'm rooting for you Big Sarge. I can be fooled, you might be fooling me, sure. But I have a hard time imagining any rational basis for the kinds of allegations you describe.
Hang in there brother.
Love you very much Maury.
If you're suspended on pay use the time to come on over here (England).
I'm worried about you going back into the Military, but that's probably a typical civilian response!
Look after yourself, please.
Remember you are loved.
Best of luck my friend !!
Don't let the assholes get you down!
^^^What he said!!!^^^
Soar like an eagle, fuck the turkeys.
i'm sure he'd rather fuck the chicks. Best of Luck, sarge
That was also the meeting I declared it a hostile work enviroment.
Oh, so you're a malcontent, eh. :haha:
May all our best wishes attach themselves to your soul :)
Hang in there bro. May see you down range, who knows.... Peace.
If he sees you down range, find cover, quick!
Sarge, sorry about the chaos ... but maybe there are some opportunities in it that you don't see yet. Sounds like you pissed mightily on their bonfire when you pulled the rug out from under any racist accusations they might have tried to hang on you.
Let us know what happens, where you are, and how you are doing.
Keep safe and I hope everything works out!
Maybe you could find a job where they pay you in gum!!
[Size=1]Nobody ever pays me in gum.[/Size]
I'm at Sierra Vista, AZ. Does any dwellar live nearby? I brought my panda suit.
Careful - you're close to Sheldon - hahahahahahaaaa
I'm at Sierra Vista, AZ.
Oh,
hell no!
It's cooler in AZ rfn than it is in KY!!
86 degrees with 12% humidity vs. 89 degrees with 36% humidity.
That shit ain't right.
I'm at Sierra Vista, AZ. Does any dwellar live nearby? I brought my panda suit.
I'm in Scottsdale, AZ and I LOVE Panda Express! hehehehe
Sarge is it safe to use the email address I have for you?
I thought that was your work email so I have sent anything since you started having this trouble.
my trip to the desert was fun. here's a pic of the plane and what happens to soldiers who party too hard before the trip. sorry for the fuzziness, but i was using an nvg to the lens
i'm really happy. this next photo shows what true bliss is.
Put your feet up and enjoy that stuff.
outstanding sir!
(i wanna fly it!!!)
All three of those pics are great, thanks!
Did you use the nvg on the top b/w pic of the plane too? That's a great shot.
I'm in Scottsdale, AZ and I LOVE Panda Express! hehehehe
Ya reckon Sarge delivers?
I bet he does.
Man, I used to snatch the "Outdoor Life"s and the "Field & Stream"s right outta Popdigr's hands to read McManus' articles.
Now, I'm loving Bill Heavey's "A Sportsman's Life" column on the back page of "Field & Stream".
The day before I flew out, I took Addie riding. Even though it is a cellphone pic, I just have to share it. Only 4 and she refuses to ride double.
I had the day off & I spent it in Tombstone. I'm adding weight again (ugh) & you can see how I'm developing my butterfly mask on my nose & cheeks. However, the money is great, food is good, and I'm so relaxed to be back with troops. Another thing - these are non-cellphone pics & better quality.
Sheldon - we need to meet up. I've got some Rocky Patel & CAO cigars. We can kick back & drink some Double Chocolate Stout.
So who they got you workin' for (USAIC, 111th, ASA ... etc.) and whatcha doin' (staff, student, teaching, recruiting or what)? Just don't say they've got you on "police" call.
Nice to see you Sarge. Hope there is a lil less stress for you there.
Boy oh boy - Addie is a cutie. She's gonna be a handful in a few years.
Only butterflies I see are on Addie's top.
And a man needs a bit of meat on him if he has to survive all you're going through.
Lovely photos, thank you.
sexobon - I'm part of National Guard support for a Federal Law Enforcement Agency prevalent in the area. You can read between the lines. Thanks to all for the kind comments
If while you're there you see something else that you might like doing on AD, go directly to the CSM of that organization and request a Letter of Acceptance. Expect follow-up interviews if they're at all interested. You can take an LOA to their supporting PAC to verify an open slot (they can carry you one pay grade up to two down on paper). It's a lot of leg work; but, getting an LOA and a printout identifying an open TOE/TDA position by line number improves the chances of getting a release for transfer (NG-RA in your case) tremendously. A lot of people go up through the ranks, even on AD, without learning that this can be done.
I'm glad to see you happier, Sarge. Great pix, by the way. :)
Hey. I learned that little brown scorpions aren't very friendly. I was stung last night & I woke up this morning with the area purple & dripping pus.
Sexobon - I wish I could. My active duty time is 11 years total. I have mandatory retirement in 5 years, so I can't reach sanctuary. My only hope is to keep pulling Guard missions & deployments. Seems like on med & jag can get the extensions, though I did see a CW5 (pilot) stay till 65 on AGR status flying medevac
I woke up this morning with the area purple & dripping pus.
Where is this
area you speak of? Sure it was pus? Are you
sure it wasn't a wet dream?
[GnySgtHartman]Jesus H. Christ, I think you got a hard on![/GnySgtHartman]
Where is this area you speak of?
The South?
Below the Mason-Dixon line, at any rate.
It didn't happen if you don't have pics, right? I shot a pic playing with the NVGs last night a few minutes after it happened. Then this morning it had swelled to cover 2 joints and almost reach my cuticle. Sorry that pic is so zoomed in, but we were trying to catch the "explosion" using the sports mode. Anyway, the docs have told me that the only known cure is some topless pics of the women on the Cellar. Flash your tits. You'll be doing your part to keep America safe!!!
Geez, you can't blame a guy for trying to get some nekkid pics....
that's not his finger, folks..... don't be fooled into asking for more.
You ain't 'posed to bend it!!
You can wiggle it, shake it, and wave it around, but, don't bend it!
Did you get pus in boots?
"Oh cool its bendable!", *SNAP*
"nevermind"
"Oh cool its bendable!", *SNAP*
"nevermind"
Hahahaha/ Excellent.
"Oh cool its bendable!"
Only in the beginning...
Wait, has no-one said this yet...?
I'm sorry about your finger.
It is freakin' hot!!!! It's reached the point where I stop wearing underwear. Just a warning in case any of you decide to check. No more tea or soft drinks until this heat wave breaks on Tuesday. I'm only drinking water.
I truly pity any poor soul who might attempt to hike across the Border. They might as well go ahead and commit suicide
..Sheldon - we need to meet up. I've got some Rocky Patel & CAO cigars. We can kick back & drink some Double Chocolate Stout.
Anytime you are in the area. Remember, I'm a public transport kind of guy. And a slut! :-)
daaaamn sarge! jokes aside, that's fucking nasty! I got bit when I was a kid in south texas and thank gawd I only remember the initial bite! :eek:
Umm ... Sarge, please say you're on antibiotics. And if your finger has swollen along its entire length, you're going to tell us you've had an orthopedic surgeon look at you, right? Especially if the party trick with the pus is continuing. Pretty please.
no shit. dude, really....
Evidently it is pretty common around here. Mine was just worse because of my allergy to insect stings. They gave me a shot of medrol & put me on clindamycin (sic?). I change the dressing twice a day. It still weeps a little, but there is no more bright red area.
Whew. Glad you're doing better.
I am sorry about yr finger ...
I got home last night to find a little baby scorpion in my bathroom sink. Barely a half inch long. And it got FLUSHED. And somehow, I slept just fine! I *HATE* scorpions!

I still have an ouchie. Of course most of the guys swear it is herpes. LOL
...most of the guys swear it is herpes. LOL
You done gone n got bit by a skank-ass scorpion!?
If I ever get the Big H, I hope I can remember to say "I caught it from a scorpion."

Do you really want people to think you are able to fuck a scorpion?
They ain't that big! lol
It was blowing me.
And like a dumbass, I asked it to tickle my balls...:eek:
It did.
Look! It is almost all dried up. It barely weeps. The Army should really do a better job about warning us of the danger of herpes from scorpions. Geez, I'm scared to stick my finger anyplace now
BTW, many of you know I am back in MS. My hearing before the Board of Aldermen is next Tuesday
Good luck Sarge, although I hope you don't need it.
Thanks buddy, but things look pretty grim at this point. I admit I'm sweating it & feeling persecuted.
Another blurry pic, but it illustrates the typical day of a soldier. LOL
That must be your fan club.
Good luck Sarge, you won't need it though. :thumbsup:
Look! It is almost all dried up. It barely weeps. The Army should really do a better job about warning us of the danger of herpes from scorpions. Geez, I'm scared to stick my finger anyplace now
Don't ask, don't tell, man.
Good luck on the hearing.
A crusty, old, police sergeant once told me ...
"You're not a real cop until you've been suspended, sued, and divorced ... I'm a real cop."
I'm hoping for the best Sarge.
That must be your fan club.
Hiss. Boo.
:p:
ETA: You forgot to recommend the veal.
WTF????? Why is the VA sending me bills for service related treatment?
Ummmm, because they're bureaucratic dicks pushed around by sociopathic senior managers pushing a contradictory political agenda of meeting ever increasing service targets and ever decreasing budgets?
Did I win?
Don't sweat it Sarge, it'll be a mixup. Ten to a penny a phone call or three will sort it out.
Tonight is the big night - the hearing. It's been 5 weeks of hell just waiting for the executioner's axe. I met with my attorney yesterday abd we'll meet again this evening to prep before I go into the inquisition.
Please send some good thoughts my way. While it is time to move on, I just didn't want to go out this way. Plus, I admit I have my pride to deal with
All my best thoughts are with you Sarge! X
My thoughts are with you Sarge, I cannot believe there is any substance to any accusations against you.
The main problem we have is Mississippi is "work at will" state. Very little protection for the rights of workers
Thinking of you Sarge. Good luck and all that jazz.
I don't really understand 'work at will.' What other states have that? Does it mean they can just say buh-bye for no reason?
I can't find a listing of work at will states, either. The more I read the more confused I got. Not to derail Sarge's updates, but can anyone explain it to a layperson?
And hope it all goes well, Sarge. Life sure is crazy sometimes.
Try Googling "Right to Work" instead
Gah. Godawful 'newspeak'. The rights of employers to fire their workers at will = Right to Work.
Try Googling "Right to Work" instead
One article I happened upon said they were two different concepts. Two I still don't understand.
But thanks for playing. ;)
Bueller?
not sure of the terminology, and I know less about Mississippi... but in Washington, you can be fired for no reason at all. There doesn't need to be a reason. for some kinds of employment, like those with actual contracts, the contract must be respected or there will be consequences. but for all the work I've ever done in this state, the employer (and the employee for that matter) could end the relationship at any time for any reason, or no reason at all, and with no notice.
One site had this explanation
Like with most legal jargon, "employment at will" has both a formal definition and a practical one. In this case, the theory is easy. The basic definition of "employment at will" says the employer or the employee may end the working relationship at any time and for any reason without fearing legal action. This means the employer can fire or lay off the employee whenever they want. According to the theory, the employers do not have to explain why they fired their worker.
This definition also claims the employee may choose to quit his or her job at any time. Under such circumstances, the worker does not have to give the employer the reason for leaving his or her current position.
On its face, this is a simple law that should work for both the employer and the employee. Unfortunately in practice, "employment at will" is not so clear. While most states follow the formal definition, many lower courts have passed laws to cancel the employer's rights. All of these laws have created many exceptions to the formal definition, and employers must keep this in mind if they need to fire someone.
Wishing you the best Sarge. One way or the other, it will be good to have this finished and behind you - right?
What states?
See, I think the work at will thing is subjective and most people don't really know what it means or what states actually have it.
My employer says we are "at will" so it must also be the rule here in DC. They clearly state that they can fire you and give no reason.
In practice, you need a reason to fire someone, or they can sue you and make some shit up about you discriminating against them in one of the federally protected areas. The District even has a special law that says you can't fire someone based on how they look.
So when we want to fire someone, we need to have documented reasons in their file. They have to be doing a demonstrably bad job. In theory, we don't need any of that, but in practice it's to cover our butts.
At will employment means they can fire you "at will".
It also means you can quit at will.
Almost any job w/out a contract is 'at will employment'.
Another way of putting it is that even though we are government employees, we have no civil service protection.
The hour of reckoning is drawing nigh. My biggest fear is if I'm fired, I can't hang out at the old sewage lagoon anymore. sigh.
snip--
So when we want to fire someone, we need to have documented reasons in their file. They have to be doing a demonstrably bad job. In theory, we don't need any of that, but in practice it's to cover our butts.
I have been on both sides of this process. I've been part of the company that accumulated documentation that was forwarded and stored in the soon-to-be-terminated employee, and I've had my "performance review" in my personnel file "cited" as a contributing factor for why the decision to terminate my employment was reached.
Seriously, it's such a subjective process that anything can be said/made up/"documented" that supports the already settled conclusion. Termination of employment is a fait accompli. It's like breaking up with someone. You don't like them? Buh-bye. You want a reason? Pick one. It's irrelevant.
...
On the other hand, I know that businesses are always fighting for increased efficiency. And the decision to terminate an employee is not reached lightly. There are real costs associated with termination. There's the whole I have to fire this guy process, the whole I have to hire someone new process and/or I have to distribute his workload across the remaining employees process, and the effect on the morale of the remaining employees is (in my experience) negative. I don't remember too many assholes being fired. They usually left of their own accord, being assholes and all. But I can remember lots of cases where regular folks, nice people were "let go" (I'm going to let you go. You may go now. You have my leave to leave. It's not really fair, ever. The employer holds far more power, usually expressed in economic terms, than the employee does. Anywhoo... ). That has a cost to the business as people increase their fear/wariness up a notch and their enthusiasm down a notch. It can result in increased productivity--please don't fire me, I'm rowing as fast as I can--but it usually has a cost in morale.
Goddammit Sarge.
Speaking as a man who has had unfair accusations leveled against him and used as evidence for severing my visible means of support--
Fuck 'em.
They can't eat you.
If you want to hang out at the old sewage lagoon, you go right the hell on and hang out brother. They DO NOT OWN YOU OR YOUR SENSE OF SELF WORTH. I've been in your shoes, and they are some cruel goddamn shoes. But unless you're Imelda Marcos, you're more than those shoes. See the situation for what it is--no more.
You're my friend. And I have lots of company in that regard. See clearly.
Michigan is "at will" no reasons, no rights
I guess that "at will" stuff is why the US economy is doing so well, eh?
It was a 3-2 vote to terminate me. The Board stated it was over recent concerns. I'm just trying to keep my head up and make plans on how to support my kids. It has been a difficult 2 years, but I will miss it terribly.
I hate to be all trite and say 'when one door closes...' but I really think that's when we find the best and most unexpected opportunities!
Hang in there Big Sarge! :comfort:
Sorry Sarge. Hang in there.
Awww man, I'm sorry!
As painful as it is, try to think of this as an opportunity to explore other options.
Keep your chin up! We still :heartpump you.
Now you have closure on this. It's done. You don't need to spend more energy on "what will I do? what will happen? what if...____?" That's a load off, and now you can concentrate your energy and effort on more productive channels.
Forward!
Utter twats.
Sorry you've been shafted Sarge. But as other have said, as one door closes...etc.
*hugs*
So sorry to hear that Sarge.
I know how proud you were to be serving your community in a new capacity.
3-2 shows that at least some people know a good man when they see him.
You know you did an outstanding job. But you also know it was very hard on you, and there were times it cast you into despair. So now it's over and the way forward will become clearer. I don't know where you will be this time next year but you are a hard worker, a survivor and a good Dad. And you have us now.
Well, shit.
I was hoping for the best for ya there Sarge. Maybe that's exactly what's happening!
We could all e-mail pictures of dog shit to the PD there if ya like?
:comfort:
damn that blows. Sorry to hear that. From what we've discussed, you sort of expected that decision though. OK, so now that's done.
Thoughts looking forward -
Independent Security
Private eye
Mercenary (not TheMercenary)
Bouncer Leader (whatever they are called.
Security Guard for the Rich and famous (or just wealthy)
Fuggem bro. You've got some options now. Take a lil breather and see whats going on. Start networking.
Oh Sarge! I'm sorry, but as others have said here it's good to have that mess behind you, and as Sundae said, you did a great job but it was also at very great personal cost sometimes.
I wish you a speedy recovery from this knockback, and brighter, better things ahead. x
It's the political shit that'll get you every time.
Ah damn. I missed this news until now. Sorry things are looking tough now, Sarge. I know you'll come out on top because you always do.
I'm keeping my chin up & we are going forward with our lawsuit. Thanks to everyone for the good thoughts. I'll make it
Bouncer Leader (whatever they are called.)
Cooler.
Mercenary
We
could use another
Arthur Simons.
Instead of a lawsuit you could always wait until they go into a theater then tell them you're the Joker and ... oh never mind, I see it's already been done.
So Bs is this a case of a White guy being in a Black guys job ??? if so Fuck em !!
Or the Fact that you took no shit from no body ??? if so Fuck em !!
or is it about the dogs ending up in a ditch ??? if so Fuck it , fine the owner
Yes Ive had a few drinks
What zippy is saying is that there should be more fucking going on, and then you'll no doubt feel better.
We HAVE to get Sundae over to the US somehow. That is all. :D
Well, I have my Tracker running somewhat. I think the clutch is possessed. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. While test driving, we took a quick spin by the local buffalo herd. I tried to get some pics of the calves, but most of the herd runs when you approach.
I'm headed out in the morning for another short tour with the National Guard. Ya'll play nice while I'm gone. I dread the heat but the money is so good.
Addie had her first day at school and got a "green light". Quite proud of her because this is the child I expect to grow up to be a stripper or a serial killer. ;)
This weekend I head back to Camp Shelby. Gotta make some money
so wonderful!!
just curious. why does she have to choose?
You're right. She could grow up to be both. I just hope she doesn't turn into a hobo killer
Seriously Sarge, she's a living doll. yo've a lot to be proud of! Good job!
What a sweetie! Gorgeous pic Sarge.
I admit I have some pretty daughters and I'm quite proud of them. I appreciate the compliments. The kids all tease me about Sundae. They love her flair or sense of style. Pretty different for what they are exposed to in rural Mississippi. Addie wants to dye her hair pink, so the girls are going to fix her up as "Sundae" for Halloween. LOL. So Sundae has beat out Strawberry Shortcake & Tinkerbell this year.
Geez, what a ramble this is. Sundae, I hope you know my girls mean it as a compliment
Yay me! My hair is red again for school.
Bright red I have to say, but even that will have to be toned down after a few washes (when the pink starts streaking through). Back to brown or black for Christmas GTG.
You have very beautiful children, inside and out. It comes across in everything you write about them and especially how close they are despite occasional spats/ jealousies.
If we did Halloween in the same way as Merkins I would consider dressing as you :)
But over here it's less fancy dress and more spooky costumes. Although if I opened the door to trick or treaters in camo with a gun I think it would spook them a hell of a lot more!
Made challah today. Thought of you.
Sarge is Jewish???
Plus Sundae, why, WHY must you make me look like a slut housewife b/c I do zero cooking/baking compared to you?
I feel like a complete waste of womanhood; not baking fabulous cakes with walnuts in them and similar and cakes that look like castles, etc.
I feel a poem coming on. I poem where I lash myself for my lack of bakery.
Happy now are we, missy?
Sarge's surname is Schuh (mentioned before on here but will delete if requested).
Last I heard he was converting to Messianic Judaism. So there.
In fact am off to make pancetta wrapped chicken breasts stuffed with Boursin for dinner.
And I'm not even going to eat any (Mum only defrosted three and Maureen is coming).
I'm in Stepford mode today.
'Cepting I'll probably have some of the old dizzy water later, and I think that would have fried their synapses.
Hang on, it fries mine too... Perhaps I should put an egg on mt head and make tomorrow's breakfast at the same time.
A) I didn't know Sarge was converting and I do not know what Messianic Judasim is
so there.
B) I don't know what pancetta is
C) I don't know what Boursin is
D) I don't know Maureen
Do you see how you intentionally exclude me from your life, Sundae? If you just want to be friends from here on out, that's fine by me. I mean, don't worry about ol' Tril or ol' Bri or whatever name you can remember me by. It's not like we share the same love of a certain author or feel sympatico about many other things or anything like that or that I've begun to steal large stones from municipal parks as to write out your name so aircraft can behold it from above...no, none of those things at all, Sundae.
harumph.
I will address your points in the order you have raised them.
I also don't know what Messianic Judaism is.
I thought America was run by the Jews, so you should be able to tell me. I came to you for help and have been cruelly rebuffed.
I ran out of pancetta and wrapped the final one (untidily) in bacon. You know what that is, you have Irish antecedents.
My Dad calls Boursin, Bourskin. That makes it sound a bit rude. Pancetta looks a bit like what you get after a briss. I told you America was dominated by the Jews, especially the East Coast. Isn't that where Woody Allen lives?
Maureen wouldn't like you. I've kept you apart deliberately and now it is thrown in my face.
I opened the door in my heart for Brianna. I have to wait to see if Trilby is worthy.
Does she even know who I am?
Rebuttal: IF America is indeed being run by the Jews I have picked an inauspicious time to eschew dating Jewish men. Although, to be accurate, the Jewish men I dated were Jewish only because they were smart, not because they were holy or believed in any such nonsense.
I do not recall you coming to me personally for information on Messianic Jews. You treat all Americans as if they are all the same, know all the same people and are cruelly stereotyping us as all knowing about all religions just because we purport to HAVING all religions. Except in Texas where they only have the one: football.
Yes, I do have Irish antecedents. We call them Aunt, Uncle and cousins. However, being of the Lace Curtain variety, I cannot know what you mean by pancetta OR bacon. Perhaps you mean Jamon iberico?
Boursin/Bourskin - neither one clarifies what the damned thing IS. I suspect you of making it up to sound more 'culinary' than you actually are.
Don't talk to me about Woody Allen. The last time he invited himself here he offered to adopt me. Naturally, I said 'no' but in light of your earlier comment about them running America, maybe I was too hasty.
This "Maureen" you speak of. You are so very vague about her that I suspect you are making her up to upset me and cause jealousy on my part. I am imploring you to get some sort of mental evaluation as to your grip on reality. Of course "Maureen" would adore me - IF she exists!
There, you scoundrel! I feel you've been soundly trumped!
Serves you right for being English!
Lord, I thought I was on a ramble last night!
Trilby, I forgive you.
I have to, as I believe the chicken came out slightly too dry and this is obviously due to the curse you laid upon me.
But I do have to let you know, every day, when I wake up, I think the Lord I'm Welsh.
Ychydig yn.
What I mean to say is I had a bit of Welsh in me.
Ychydig yn.
What I mean to say is I had a bit of Welsh in me.
What's his name?
His name is Steve.
If'n he's still alive. I met him on holiday when I was 20.
Poor, poor Steve. I'll say a prayer for him tonight.....
Poor, poor Steve. I'll say a prayer for him tonight.....
A Messianic Jewish prayer?
Question, Big Sarge: Do you roll on Shabbos?
Poor, poor Steve. I'll say a prayer for him tonight.....
Lucky Steve!
I was on the rebound.
He was a real man-slut. As a Welshman working in a Spanish bar he had his pick of the female tourists. The orientation session happened in the bar where he worked, and he worked it, making sure he distributed the free watery cocktails unevenly. My 14 year old brother got three for example, which were all passed over to me.
He wooed me with alcohol for eight out of the ten days I was there.
No chance of him pining for me for the rest of his life. Two nights later I saw him snogging a hefty teenager in an alley.
At least I had the class to hold out for his apartment ;)
Even though we used protection I got tested afterwards.
Lucky me, all clear. I wasn't naiive, just hurt by an ex and easily swayed by attention and lots of free booze. It was a fair exchange at the time.
... easily swayed by attention and lots of free booze...
hey, who isn't?
Poor, poor Steve. I'll say a prayer for him tonight.....
I was referring to what type of condition you left poor Steve in. I could imagine what a 20 yoa Sundae would be like. ;)
AWWW! Talent night!
You look lovely.
did you win?
I did actually.
Can't remember if it was first, second or third (I was drunk by then) but it was a bottle of perry (fairly low-alcohol pear drink) which looks like champagne. I do remember walking back and trying to swig from it, but it's so damn fizzy. It may have come out of my nose.
Very pretty, but I find the "current" Sundae far more attractive
A Messianic Jewish prayer?

And what is wrong with me saying a prayer?? Also are you calling me a Shabbat Goy? Or perhaps you are referring to the vehicle?
There are valid reasons for violating the Shabbat and I believe each should set his own limits with his covenant with the Lord.
We have a nice doe hanging around the barracks. I also have corn aging in an oak barrel for when wrap up down here
[WalterSobchak]Shomer fuckin' shabbos, man.[/Walter]

Ohhh look at you! Tha's nobbut a bairn.
Here's Addie on her 5th birthday. Yes, I like to show her off. I so wish I could have been there
TY!!! I do good work & I'm cheap ;)
Are you offering your services as a baby daddy?!
Joking aside, girl's got style.
You must miss her big time. But she'll learn a sense of duty to her country from Daddy's commitment. She knows how much you love her, and if you can't be there it must be because you are doing something very important. Can't say the same for someone who is present but constantly distracted.
I'm going to start a stud service to make extra money. The world needs more pandas.
Hi y'all. I'm alive and kicking. Here's a pic of me in my 10th century Viking tunic yesterday. Today I shaved the beard off again and touched up my hair. I'm headed to New Orleans next week and taking a cruise to Cozumel.
Sarge! How wonderful to have you back!
I still have my panda packing tape you know. It's begging for an excuse to be used... You could always use it to tape up the mouths of your subjects if you want to start a new dictatorshop somewhere else...?
Very good to see/hear from you Sarge!
Done remarkably well in a short time, from living in woods to house, new(to you) truck, and a cruise.
Bruce - Rep Nunnelee's office assisted me last fall and got me some help. I'm pretty sure I posted something about it. Last month, my SSDI was approved and I was back paid to Aug of 2013. I'm drawing both VA and SSDI.
Glad to see you again and even gladder things are worked out! :-)
welcome back Sarge and bon voyage~!
You're looking so well, sarge!
Nice to see you and I'm glad things are lookng up again:)
Hey buddy. Looking good. When you coming up this way?
awesome sarge! looking great sir!
Cool! That other beach shot looked like Hawaii or something, and I wondered where it was. Now I know.
At the Mayan ruins there are hieroglyphs that say "This is why we can't have nice things."
Have fun Sarge!
It's my 55th birthday. I spent yesterday at VAMC and had a pretty rough fall, but I bounced back with only a sore back. Here's a pic of us at the Bass Pro Shop Pyramid enjoying some raspberry tea. Shot's in B&W because I'm having problems with rosacea again. Also another pic of my new toys. a 45 coly classic carbine, 38-55 Target Classic, 45-70 Buffalo Classic, and an extra barrel being rechambered to 38-90 express
Special MSG to Lola Bunny - I still think you are 16 years old!!
Hi, Sarge glad to see you doing good.

Ha! Hey you! I remembered your birthday, only just a few days late in wishing you a belated birthday wish. That being said.....HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!!! :D I'm glad you had a great one.
Still enjoying the good life. Only problem is the heavy doses of steroids don't like the summer sun, but you learn to deal with it. Went deep sea fishing this past weekend. I hope all of you are doing well
TY. We marinaded them in Dale's Steak & Coke and then grilled them. The meat was very firm and flaky. I didn't care for the Spanish Mackerel
