      I may be small, but I'm slow.

      A veteran - whether active duty, retired, or national guard or reserve is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to, "The United States of America ", for an amount of "up to and including my life - it's an honor."

          As Odysseus said to Polyphemus "Blow out this candle for your birthday, biatch."

          Or something like that.

          Happy birthday, Solon.

                    Knock it off. This board has enough problems without a dose of middle-age lechery.

                              "God made the angels to show His splendour - as He made animals for innocence and plants for their simplicity. But men and women He made to serve Him wittily, in the tangle of their minds."
