If anyone is like me and cant sleep.. drop me a line, maybe a little conversation would do me some good, lol...

Hows it going? Well other than not being able to sleep.

Life isnt that bad, but its not that great right now either,lol... I'm just really missing DH alot right now and I havent heard from him in a few days, and I'm just down in general...

Aww Im sorry! Hope things get better soon.

Isnt it funny how things happen... I say that and then he calls, lol.. gotta go for a few...

That's awesome. Enjoy the phone call.

If you come back, I'll be here for a while too. I went to sleep at 10:30 and woke up at 12:00. The sandman is playing a not so funny trick on me!!!!

You too?

yeah I'm usually up all night, so as I was falling asleep, I was sooooooo excited....but, NNNOOOOOOOOO!!!! Ireally need to try that new sleeping pill, but then I'll miss my "middle of the night friendships" on here. lol

I'm up, but not because I can't sleep :giggl

LOL. I'm usually up til like 1 not able to sleep. Im not even nodding off yet. Too much chocolate tonight.

Lol what's that supposed to mean....sorry, my roots are blonde. I try to hide it but it creeps up on me every now and again.

Oh the chocolate is keeping you up?

Lol what's that supposed to mean....sorry, my roots are blonde. I try to hide it but it creeps up on me every now and again.

:giggle I live in italy, it's 0942 here!

YUP! It's so quiet on here tonight too. Im going insane.

How is it living in Italy?

im wide awake and bored outa my mind.then again im always up.im a freakin night owl.hows everyone doing?

yeah my buddies I usually chat it up with are off tonight....or today for you...lol

OMG I got so confused there guys....sorry!!!! Wow that was a major blonde moment!!!!

How is it living in Italy?

It's weird, but fun. The worst thing for me is not speaking the language and being so far from my family. I love th food-OMG I am addicted to the european chocolates:giggle-and I love the culture, it's just taking some time to get used to. I was in shock the other day when i realized we'd been here 8 months, time is flying by!

I'd love to be over there for a little while, but I'd get to see my family even less than I do know.

I love European chocolate, too. That is one thing I am really looking forward to.

yeah, we jsut had to buy tickets to the states and we spent over 2K on tickets :yikes

im wide awake and bored outa my mind.then again im always up.im a freakin night owl.hows everyone doing?

Awake...GRRRRR!!!! How are you? (I don't bite! LOL)

Wow. There is no way I could do it. I'm trying to save the $800 to go see everyone now.

yeah, we jsut had to buy tickets to the states and we spent over 2K on tickets :yikes

Do you have the option to fly on the military planes, I forgot what they're called.

one of my best friends is stationed in Italy,says he loves it.really wants me to go visit him but that would be way to expensive.

We can take MAC flights, they are cheap, but the problem is they only fly once a week and we have to fly standby, and if we get bumped we are SOL and have to buy our own tickets adn get back. I've done that once before, and I don't want to do it again if I don't have to.

the only reason we can afford to fly back now is we are selling our car as an import and getting a great dealon it.

Somebody told me to fly that way when we get to Germany, but now I don't know if I want to. Especially with my little one.

it all depends, I would take a MAC flight within the US or within Europe, but not between the US and europe again..it just turned into a looong disaster. They are nice, but in europe there are SO many flights that are cheap on commercial airlines. I can fly to spain for 60 bucks!

Im too paranoid about using it. I don't wanna get stuck somewhere with a 14 month old ,and not being able to get where we need to be.

Oh cool. We were thinking about selling our car in Germany and getting like a BMW or Mercedes and then when we get back in the states, selling that...hopefully to make a profit on both. Is that totally legal?

Im too paranoid about using it. I don't wanna get stuck somewhere with a 14 month old ,and not being able to get where we need to be.

Exactly!!!

I don't know what the rules are in germany, but I do know that if you buy a european car, you have ot get it to american specs when you bring it back, and that can cost several thousand dollars to do.

AHHHH! I see. Well, we'll look into it when we get there i guess.

Yay!! I just realized i made it to 500 posts. I can get into the pillow talk forum!!!!

yeah, we can sell our car to americans easy, but we are selling it to italian dealership and there are sooo many more rules and it is really complicated to do, we have to pay a HUGE import tax to be allowed to do so.

Thats not cool. So many hassles to do something so simple!

Selling the cars sounds way to complicated for me..lol

eh, it makes sense though. be prepared for auto insurance to skyrocket though..it's super expensive over here. We pay more a month now than we did in the states for only 1 driver......

Every time I go outside to smoke, I'm scared my creepy neighbor will hit on me again. This is sad. Can't even sit on my own patio.

eh, it makes sense though. be prepared for auto insurance to skyrocket though..it's super expensive over here. We pay more a month now than we did in the states for only 1 driver......

Does USAA provide coverage there? Do you know?

USAA and Geico International are the options we have on base here!

Its good that USAA is over there

K We are switching to USAA very soon. We already have a bank account set up. But now I guess we won't be saving $150 a month if the insurance goes up!

oh well im off for the night. nice talking to ya'll.

good night. sweet dreams

It all depends on your driving record, etc. if you have a loan on your car, blah blah blah.......
Ours costs less than a friends does, simply because they have a lien on their vehicle and we don't. If you guys have a nice car-I really recommend selling it and buying a smaller car for over here, the roads are narrower adn all vehicles are smaller. Honda civics, etc are great sized for the roads!

well.. now i really feel like S*&t...i got to talk to DH for about 2 mins and then he just disappeared.. no response, no nothing....and now i cant stop crying... bc i didnt get to tell him that i love him....

awww :hugs He knows you love him sweetie, I'm sorry you didn't get to talk to him for very long.

well.. now i really feel like S*&t...i got to talk to DH for about 2 mins and then he just disappeared.. no response, no nothing....and now i cant stop crying... bc i didnt get to tell him that i love him....

Awww! It will be ok. He knows you love him :glomp He may have had something important he had to do. Were you on the phone with him or online?

:sadeyes aw im sorry...
he knows you love him (hugs):hugs

Yeah we have a big Dodge Durango. We still owe a lot of money on it and I don't want to sell it and be upside down. Its less than a year old.

Have you checked with your lien holder that they will allow you to take it overseas? Before they will ship your car, you ahve to have proof that they will, and I know a lot of companies aren't allowing it anymore.

I know he knows i do...I always cry when we get off the phone.... it usually takes us 10-15 mins to say goodbye...but this time he just disappeared.. i mean poof not there... i had time to ask how he is and to tell him that i miss me and then.... disappeared...and i know its stupid, but i thought, did I say the wrong thing and he got mad?? and i know i didnt...and now i know i wont sleep at all....

sometimes the phone lines jsut go down. It was inevitable the first 6 months my Dh was in kuwait that every time we talked the phones went down after less than 5 minutes.

Yeah. They said they need copies of our orders, and when we are moving, and how long we are deployed for. I just have to fax it to them.

we were online... bc the phone lines are so long, and we get to talk longer online...

oh yay, that is good that they will allow you to. We almost weren't able to ship our vehicle, but at the last minute it came through.

I know he knows i do...I always cry when we get off the phone.... it usually takes us 10-15 mins to say goodbye...but this time he just disappeared.. i mean poof not there... i had time to ask how he is and to tell him that i miss me and then.... disappeared...and i know its stupid, but i thought, did I say the wrong thing and he got mad?? and i know i didnt...and now i know i wont sleep at all....

I do the same thing when something like that happens. I was told its a sign of depression, which I do have a history with.

my purrpurr says I need to get off the computer adn go spoil him rotten. So I must go! tata ladies!

Bye! Thanks for chatting again!

i am so dreading this first deployment.i cry enough whenever he gets offline now,i also have a history of depression so that really doesnt help it much either.

i just noticed a typo, lol.. i meant to say I miss him... and i said i miss me, lol....and when he went poof... I actaully yelled come back out loud.. and woke up my brother in law, so now i feel even worse bc he has school in the morning... I just wanted to tell him that i love him...

i am so dreading this first deployment.i cry enough whenever he gets offline now,i also have a history of depression so that really doesnt help it much either.

I haven't been thru one yet...thank God!! i am not looking forward to it.

i always cry when we get off the phone or off line, but this time... like i said.. disappeared.. poof gone... no response...

Awwww! Maybe he'll have time to get back on later. Then you can tell him you love him.

I really hope so....I was looking through our photo book today.. just getting everything put into it, and i came unglued when i saw our wedding pictures...

what majorly sucks is that because of DH's former commanders in louisiana i was forced to come home..so what little time together we did have.we cant even spend it together.:mumble

what majorly sucks is that because of DH's former commanders in louisiana i was forced to come home..so what little time together we did have.we cant even spend it together.:mumble

I don't understand. Explain a little more.

I'm having to stay with his family while he's gone bc i have a lower back injury...during a deployment, for those who havent been through one.. you live for those phone calls and online messages...bc its the only contact you have with them until they come home... again.. thank god for r&R!!

some stuff happend thats really embarassing...his commanders and NCO's figured that he was in no position to have me stay with him..so they made me come back home to NC..i just find it really crappy that what few months we could be spending together before he leaves.we cant.

that sucks... i dont know what to say on that one...

That really sucks. Can you put in a request or something? Try to fight it?

i dunno.ive told him several times i wanna go back to LA and be with him till he has to go.but he keeps sayin that i cant because the army has been really screwin him over on pay(as in only getting 200 bucks a month) and has no car or anything to get back and fourth from work.

its just a big mess now.

Ohhhh. Thats horrible. The Army screwed everybody's pay this paycheck. Some worse than others. I don't know how you guys are making it. But if it helps, I'm from La. and i know the people are really friendly to him and will treat him well... if he ever gets to be around civilians. If he's in Fort Polk, my dad has a camp at Toledo Bend...maybe he can get some R&R on the weekends there. lol.

hmmm i wish I had some advice to give you on that... The only thing I can think of is... well I cant really think of anything to tell you...the thing with his pay is weird though...

Yeah. He needs to go to finance and take care of that! I don't know how you guys are living on that little.

lol.he wanted to go fishin down in toledo bend but could never find out where it was.he thinks the fishin at the rec.park on ft.polk sucks.
my mom has made plans to take me down there towards the end of july so we can see him off and get to spend his birthday and our anniversry together.

im just kinda dreading that farewell ceremony.if i could drive.id go down there every chance i got.
and thanks for the cute lil gift thing.:D

you know DH's pay was a little off this paycheck.. nothing too off... just a couple dollars... but that could be bc of the deployment and all...since he hasnt been gone long...

They shorted us $200, my friend $300 and some women are saying they didn't get anything.

you know DH's pay was a little off this paycheck.. nothing too off... just a couple dollars... but that could be bc of the deployment and all...since he hasnt been gone long...

He should be getting more if he's overseas. He should be getting seperation from family pay and combat pay.

wow thats crappy.
DH's pay has been..way off ever since we got married last july.

wow thats crappy.
DH's pay has been..way off ever since we got married last july.

He really needs to get that fixed. He should be making more too since he has a dependant.

I think his was off bc he hasnt been gone that long... so it still has to take effect... and as to yours astra... he needs to get that fixed... he should be getting a good bit more bc of being married..

I think his was off bc he hasnt been gone that long... so it still has to take effect... and as to yours astra... he needs to get that fixed... he should be getting a good bit more bc of being married..

That could be it, but I would check his AKO if you have the passwords and everything.

yea thats what i couldnt figure out why he was getting so little.they have done him so wrong down there though.now im finding out hes breaking his profile just to keep his first sgt off his back.:censored

if it isnt right on the next one then i will.. i always give changes two pay periods... it takes a bit sometimes,, lol.. and we can talk about babies in here, lol...

one of my friends was at ft polk ( about 6 years ago) and she said it was horrible there... to be a wife that is...

yea thats what i couldnt figure out why he was getting so little.they have done him so wrong down there though.now im finding out hes breaking his profile just to keep his first sgt off his back.:censored

OOOHHH! He needs to be careful with that. he could get an article 15.

one of my friends was at ft polk ( about 6 years ago) and she said it was horrible there... to be a wife that is...

There is nothing to do in that part of the state. It is horrible in that aspect. The only reason I would live there is because its closer to family and my dad has his camp so close. Plus, the people talk really funny in that region. I'm sure I talk funny too, but they say stuff like "kayuds" for keds. lol

yeah he could get in serious trouble for that, if the injury gets worse, to the point that he cant do his job for a very long time...DH said that if they get sunburnt really really bad, they can get an article 15... bc it prevents them from doing their job...

lol horrible is so right.i couldnt stand it there.but..id gladly go back just to be with josh.

easy on the picking about southern accents.. i'm from alabama, lol...

Dh told me that too.

easy on the picking about southern accents.. i'm from alabama, lol...

I'm not picking. I have one too, a cajun one which is a weird one I know. But its just so different. lol. :giggle

I know what you mean... If we were sent to Alaska, I would not complain ( I hate being cold, lol) bc worth the whole universe to me...

an article 15 for a sunburn?wow.
josh has stress fractures in his hip and legs.it hurts him really bad.yet his first sgt.belittles him constantly and he gets BS from other soldiers too..

hes now on a permanet profile and cant run.but hes been breaking it and running just to get that 1st sgt of his to lay off him.

i thought it was funny how they talk down there.then again they thought i sounded strange too.:lol

you are right about the accents... what's funny is that DH's fam is from NorCali... so they have a unique accent... and DH had one until we started dating last year... now he talks like me, lol.. and his little bro and mom are since I've been here, lol...

if he has stress fractures in his hips, he needs to be every careful.... take it from someone who has hip and back issues...if he turns wrong, he could possibly break his femoral neck ( hip joint)... and it takes 3 screws and a year for that to heal..

OMG my upstairs neighbor is outside on his computer with a friend. Now, I curse like a sailor, and I have never heard the F word used so much in my life!!! Jeezy Creezy!

if he has stress fractures in his hips, he needs to be every careful.... take it from someone who has hip and back issues...if he turns wrong, he could possibly break his femoral neck ( hip joint)... and it takes 3 screws and a year for that to heal..

:agree

OMG ROFL!!!! at least it wasnt like my upstairs neighbor in GA... ( we're stationed at hunter, lol) he did the,erm.... alone man thing, erm... everymorning.. at 8.. and I know this bc i could hear him through the vents... not the most pleasant thing to hear over coffee..

lol!i usually swear like a trucker.but try to refrain from doin that when im meeting new people.

oh geez..that just sounds painful about the screws...

right now i am dealing with my own hip/ back issue... I have a lateral and downward shift on the left side... pretty much my left hip has dropped two inched and so one leg is longer than the other..

:roflmao OMG and you could actually hear it?:no

right now i am dealing with my own hip/ back issue... I have a lateral and downward shift on the left side... pretty much my left hip has dropped two inched and so one leg is longer than the other..

I have always had that. But my last job was at an orthotics and prosthetics office, so my boss just put a lift (1/4 and inch) insert in one of my shoes. You can go to walmart and buy inserts and putt 2 of them in 1 shoe. It might help a little.

ooohh some serious typos there. sorry guys :giggle

yeah... through out the entire apartment.... it was like listening to a porno... it got to the point that I would go outside in my robe to drink my coffee.. no matter how cold it was...i just hung curtains on the porch and shut the door going in...and it was pretty darn cold in march...

its not that... they think its a ligament that is overextended... but they just have to find out which one it is..then they will go in and shorten it pretty much...up until two weeks ago... my left leg was purple and swollen and numb....the inflamation had a nerve pinched... but now that the inflamation is gone, its just annoying, lol..

was it squeaking or moaning? OMG that's horrible.


Ok my neighbor just hit his computer. Now he's resorted to shit...oh no the f word is back. lol. He is being so loud at 2:00 in the am. And I think they were the ones to call the cops on me a few weeks ago when we were just playing cards. Funny story though.

ouch..
im developing back problems im pretty sure of it.there are times when my shoulder blades go numb.or feels like somethings crawlin on em

its not that... they think its a ligament that is overextended... but they just have to find out which one it is..then they will go in and shorten it pretty much...up until two weeks ago... my left leg was purple and swollen and numb....the inflamation had a nerve pinched... but now that the inflamation is gone, its just annoying, lol..

My mom swears by Viox. It has a lot of side effects but she says its worth the risk. She calls it the wonder drug. She has a pinched nerve and whip lash and bad inflimation. Her back goes completely out for days at a time.

it was more of him talking dirty... i guess he was looking at a magezine or something.. very distrubing considering he was almost 50

only time me and dh had to deal with noisy neighbors was during the weekend.we lived in the section of ft.polks housin that looked like the ghetto as he put it.and man..some of those people could get obnoxious.

I'm allergic to Vioxx..I'm allergeric to most of the one that work well.... I go into anafalatic shock ( i doubt i spelled that right,lol)

We chose to live off post.. it was cheaper to live off post than on it... bc they took all the BAH and put it toward housing, power and water... you still had to pay cable and internet... but off post... our bah covered it all with a little extra to pay with... our power bill was like 60 bucks a month..lol

it was more of him talking dirty... i guess he was looking at a magezine or something.. very distrubing considering he was almost 50

OOHHHH MYYYYYYY GGGOOOOODDDDDD! To porn? You have got to be kidding!!!! Maybe he would call a sex line. But that is still disturbing. I caught my FIL watching porn once....so not right. It really upset me because it was the weirdest porn...it was only a close up of the crotch area being "played with". It was on the computer and he doesn't even sleep in the same bed as his wife. I don't know why I have a problem with porn on a computer but not a magazine or a movie. Something just urks me about it.

I'm allergic to Vioxx..I'm allergeric to most of the one that work well.... I go into anafalatic shock ( i doubt i spelled that right,lol)

Oh thats not good. What about vicadin (sp?) and Soma?

I wish mine was that cheap. But living in this DAMN desert makes you crank the AC all day!

magezines i dont really pay attention to.. but i am digusted with movies and computer porn... I just get irked by the idea that someone would actually be a tv whore for a living... it just disturbs me....

we wanted to move off post. but it was so hard finding a place that allowed animals.but when he gets back from being in iraq we really dont have a choice but to get off post housing if we want pets now.=/

gah i dont really mind porno magz.but i just feel weird with those..i once found my dads stash of em when i was 13 lol.

I cant take vicadin, codine, tylenol 3, morpheine,anything in the opiate family... dangerously allergic to all of them...we learned that one the hard way... I almost died... i can take muscle relaxers, davorcet, and demmoral... i just have to be careful...

See I don't mind movies. I have no clue why the internet porn bugs me so much. But I think what really got to me was him not sleeping with his wife. He slept in the living room because they have a water bed and he is too "heavy" to sleep with her in it...and he snores really loud. to me if you need it that bad, go get it from your wife for a change.

Oh that sucks so bad. what about a pain killer with a muscle realxer...like hydrocodone and one of the muscle relaxers?

in savannah all you have to do is pay a pet deposit. in case they mess anything up, and its not a problem.... and savannah is pretty awesome...you can get a NICE two bd, 2bt, townhome,15 mins from post for 740-800 a month

nope.. no hydrocodone for me... but i can take flexarill

I just know my roomate had to use a combo of the 2 for her back. She was actually addicted to it and would run out of an ungodly amount of pills in 2 weeks. But I know she was in serious pain. She was witing on her 3rd or 4th spinal fusion. Can't remember.

There is a $150 nonrefundable pet deposit $150 refundable pet depo. And you have to pay $20 a month for each pet. I was like "no I don't think so." (to Wong Foo lol) :tsktsk

ouch that just sounds so painful!! but ladies I have to take a smoke break... gotta step outside and pollute my lungs for a moment... brb, lol..

oh wow that sounds so nice.
there were a few townhouses off post we were wanting to rent but they were all full.
alot of crap happend when we got a bad flea infestation and dh's only good friend..he wasnt entirely honest about things and insisted we live with him...well he was an NCO..had several cats and a ferret which as u know they are a no no on base.

he refused to take care of them.or clean his own house..i was trying to take care of it and dh wouldnt help...

army found out blew it all out of proportion deranked the NCO and took my cats aswell as our ex friends pets(which he didnt deserve em anyways..)gave em up for adoption..still not over it considering one my cats was left to me in my dads will.

so..finding a place that allows pets offpost is a must whenever i go back down there.

:hi

Thats BS!!!! Why'd they punish you. That's so stupid. I would have fought tooth and nail for my cats!!!!

Well, I don't really like cats...so let me say my animals. But its all the same.

Hi Simmy

I agree...they would've had a hard fight to get my animals.. btw... cali isnt all sunshine and warmth.. its freaking cold outside!! the highs in the 70's and its in the 40's right now... I came from savannah.. 98 with 80% humidity... got here and it was 55 with 0humidity... BRRRR!!

who is simmy?

Come to join the whoring? :giggle

who is simmy?

Look up...simmybabez waved to us!!!

oh...it was way worse..we also had pet rats that just had babies..well..they saw we are wiccan and accused me of usin my animals as part of satanic ritual which id never do.:tears that broke my heart.

we didnt even know they could give our animals away like that.cause one of the few nco's that showed up at the house (that was NICE)said they would just be at the vets for a few weeks to get de-fleaed and everything. well..dh calls me one day when i first got home and told me he went to visit our pets and they said they gave em up.i was beyond pissed :madwife

geez..i forgot how difficult some of these old NES games could be.esp when played on a computer.lol.

sorry simmy.. didnt see the waving smiley, lol

hiya simmy :hi

I guess simmy left.

How was your cancer stick? I'm puffing on mine right now. :giggle

I'm still bothered about what happened earlier with DH....we were talking.... then no response for about 10 mins.. the it said he logged off...it's got me worried and upset... but at least i'm not squalling like a baby right now...i just hope it wasnt my fault...

the cig was nice... would'v ebeen better if i was shivering the whole time...

I'm sure it wasn't. But isn't it nice to have people to talk to while your worried and not just sit by the computer hoping he logs back on?

the cig was nice... would'v ebeen better if i was shivering the whole time...

Thats the one thing i like about here. Its like 70 degrees at night, so its perfect. My toes may be a little cold, but I'm not.

yes it is...and i know i am being overly paranoid...but it comes with having your hubby deployed... you would be amazed at the insecurities that come up while yall are apart... I fight the every day...It could've been something as simple as an officer came in and wanted the comp... but since that happened i cant sleep and I would rather stay up in case he logs back on.... if only for a second to tell him " i love you"

i actaully send him im's and emails throughout the day... it's my little way of talking to him since he;s not here... and i made a calendar counting down the days till he gets back...little things to make me feel better... i would feel alot better if I could talk to him right now though..lol

I fight the every day...It could've been something as simple as an officer came in and wanted the comp... but since that happened i cant sleep and I would rather stay up in case he logs back on.... if only for a second to tell him " i love you"

I understand. It makes me want to go inside and plant a big fat one on Dh's cheek while he snores away. :lol

ive heard the insecurities and worry can be bad...there are times i get upset already just thinking about the deployment.then i start getting..um..paranoid?and worrying.and hes not even gone yet.

im trying to prepare myself mentally for it.but..it doesnt seem to do any good,

Do you have hobbies to pass the time. Maybe I should look on your profile to find out, huh? that would be nice. But, anyways. I took up scrapbooking while Dh was away at basic.

I think no matter how prepared you try to make yourself, it is always a shock. But the only time I wasn't with Dh so far is basic and some of AIT, so I don't really know.

I tried to prep myself... but there is no way to do that...the only thing i can advise is tell him everyday how much you love him... and get pics of yall for both of you...bc it goes through my head a hundred times a day... did i tell him enough how much i love him?? did i show him?? there is no way to prep for it..i know that he knows how much i love and miss him.. but the thoughts still go through my head... and sometimes when i'm missing him really bad, i can almost feel his arms around me...and i can smell him when i wake up in the morning, bc i keep having the same dream and i think its real.. tll i wake up...

Oh that's so sad but so true. (L)

I set up the calendar... and I started quilting, and I'm going to get all his medals set up in a display case, and I found a soldiers prayer that i'm probally going to cross stitch, as well as a soldier's wife's prayer.. one for each of us, lol

I saw you quilt. Do you do it professionally? Do you take special orders? I want to have a quilt made of my favorite clothes for my daughter from her first year and I was wondering about it.

No Simmy just had a shower lol.

Hi girls.

Who is Simmy?

Only the coolest person to walk the face of the planet :toocool

lol and now she is so fresh and so clean. :corny

Squeaky clean.

the dream really gets me...I keep dreaming that he's home, and he gets in at the end of the day after work and we sit down on the couch with my head in his lap and we're talking and cuddling and all that good stuff, just enjoying being with each other.... and it seems so real.. I can feel him, smell him...and he says.. I'm so glad to be home, you have no idea how much i missed you. and i answer him and tell him that i do bc i felt the same way and that i love him... he goes to kiss me ...the moment our lips touch i wake up...and i feel like he had been holding me.. you know what i mean, how you feel when he first moves his arms...and i can smell him... then i realize its all a dream and he's not home yet...then i break down

all ive really been able to do is scrapbooking which there are two problems with that..
i realized..along with all my stuff my scrapbooking stuff/pictures are all in ft.polk lol.
and im terrible at it.
id like to get into quilting and cross stich and that kind of stuff.

oooh those medal things are nice.my brother had that done for my father. turned out really nice.

hi simmy!! i havent thought about quilting professionally... once i get done with this one for DH then I'll let you know... I'm making one with pictures of him and us on it... and when we start a family, i'll add to it..

My problem with crafts is that I never finish them. The scrapbook is the only thing I actually keep up on. lol.

I get so excited about rain. but maybe thats because I'm in this DAMN desert. I even posted a thread about it raining the other day and nobody even commented on it...I don't think. That just shows how pathetic I am. I even took Dd outside in her chair so she could see it. lol

It'll be a nice change. At least for a while. Then I'll probably get tired of it.

That sucks? Is he being deployed to Iraq?

yup.

i wont get to see dh till somtime between sept and nov... the latest would be around thanksgiving ( which is the same week as my bday) the earliest would be early sept...

how long will he come home for?

I think it would cheer us up if we all do this for a while :laundry

astra.. jsut so you know... it will take a few days before you hear from him...and it wont be until he gets to his final destination there before he can get into a regular routine... and that takes about two weeks once he gets there..so dont spazz out if it 3 or 4 days at a time to hear from him in the beginning.... i'm still having trouble with that actually, lol..

he'll get two weeks then go back... and after 6 more months then he gets another 2 weeks... and so on till he gets his return orders...

:laundry for mrick
:laundry for astra
:laundry for simmy
and
:laundry for ME!!

YEEHHHAAWWWA!

LMAO

okay i've got to rant for just a moment.. why in God's name does the news have to only report the bad stuff, and then make it sounds worse than it is??? and what is up the famous ppl apparently being having their lives be worth more than everyone else's??? it makes me want to throttle someone I swear!!

he'll get two weeks then go back... and after 6 more months then he gets another 2 weeks... and so on till he gets his return orders...

You don't know how long his deployment is?

thanks for the heads-up lol.
i freak out if i dont hear from him all of a sudden for 1 day.

gah i noticed its real different going through a deployment with a sibling then it is a spouse.lol.

I'm not sure what those froggies are doing.. but it made me smile, lol

I know. I hate seeing celebrity news on regular news. If I want to know about Brittany's hair, I'll put my TV on E!

they said it's supposed to be 12-15 months but to be prepared for 18 " just in case"

omg i know.
its soo annoying.

You ladies ready for the spin cycle? Can you handle the spin cycle?

they said it's supposed to be 12-15 months but to be prepared for 18 " just in case"

That's all sorts of fucked up!

I think it's bad enough that when dh goes this November- he won't be home until 2009.

2009.

2009!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

they said it's supposed to be 12-15 months but to be prepared for 18 " just in case"

Yeah I heard they were upping deployments to 18 months.

The thing with prince harry got me really riled up today...my inlaws were walking softly around me for a feew hours...and then i got in a fight with one of the companies we have something through bc they kept wanting to talk to DH and the couldnt seem to understand that he is deployed...

they're actaully trying to shorten them for his mos i think...

FUCKTARDS!!!!! Sick em Simmy. lol Sorry I think I'm getting delerious. :insomnia

they were standardly 18.. but they are trying to shorten them to 12-15...

yeah and the prince wants to go... i'm sorry, i didnt know his life was more important than my husbands!! I could've sworn i care more about the man i married than about the 3rd in line for their throne!

omg 18 months!?!i heard it was only 15...

the prince harry thing i could kind of understand..the terrorist would have a field day trying to kidnap him.esp.after the media told he was going to be going over there.

they were standardly 18.. but they are trying to shorten them to 12-15...

Thats good!!!!

:drama I don't know what that is...but it makes me want to do this :dance

they said to be prepared for 18 so that if something happens and they cant make it back at 15 that we wont be all disstressed... but they may be back in 12.. there's a 6 month lee way on it... so i set 15 in my mind bc its in themiddle, lol..

:gay I know

whats his MOS?

mechanic... yours?

what stumps me is they changed dh mos :puzz

I like this one but never get to use it. :whoopdedoo And what do these mean?:bfn :bfp :saaf

what did they have him change it to astra? and i dont know what those symbols are, they kinda look like a postive pg test though, lol

Mines an interagator (sp? too late at night)

Astra, did he fail AIT? Why'd they change it?

what did they have him change it to astra? and i dont know what those symbols are, they kinda look like a postive pg test though, lol

Thats what I thought, but I don't know what the letters mean.

mine works on the birds,and loves his job lol

yea i agree with mrick bout the symbols lol

nah he didnt fail ait. his original mos is a mechanic or which ever group has the ordience bomb.

but whey he deploys hes going to be a prision guard..lol

interigater?
Interigator?
I can't spell

yea i agree with mrick bout the symbols lol

nah he didnt fail ait. his original mos is a mechanic or which ever group has the ordience bomb.

but whey he deploys hes going to be a prision guard..lol

My brother was a welder. When he got to Iraq, he was a chaufer to a captain...all he did was drive him around all day. Then they put him back to welding. He let some dude borrow his welding machine and the guy broke it. So then they changed his MOS to deisel mechanic.

lol i have no idea.
but i assume they changed it because of his profile?if they even do that.
im just glad hes going to a safe zone.

you had it spelled right the first time, lol.. and they may have him doing that bc they enough of his mos over there...mine loves working on the birds though.... and i love the way he smells when he comes home from work... its that masculine, unique smell they have when they've been working on a car... but it smells awesome on him bc of his pherimones... lol. his pherimones and mine get along really well, lol..

We heard that when we go to Germany, DH wears a black suit and gets to let his hair and facial hair grow how he wants. Cool, huh?
