In Article: Question for Sick~O
We're even getting a little rain down here on the Cliche..
Cliche is the sandy desert surface. It's hard as a rock.
So hard, they park all the retired military planes down here at D-M
They don't have to pave anything.
It's quite a sight.
Google
Pima Air Museum Boneyard..
or Davis Mohthan Boneyard...
It's a HUGE museum.

I used to volunteer there, but it's 28 miles from here, and when gas was > 3.00 a gallon, I had to stop.

Have a great fourth Reply...

There are many Air Force hams...but look up the local (Minot) amateur radio club, or, next time your'e driving down the street, and see a home with antennas which are unlike TV antennas, stop in and ask...
the radio operator will be glad to spend as much time as you need, to explain it to you, and show you how to get a license..
It's really fun...
Nowadays, you don't have to learn Morse Code, which is like a separate language...but it's a challenge, and when there's a national emergency, i.e. Katrina...the code guys are of considerable aid to the government.
During Katrina, the phone lines were down, and communication was impossible...except by the amateur radio operators...who performed yeoman service.
Code can get through when voice cannot. Now a days, Code operators are like a little cult...but the good thing is, that nowadays, everybody who uses code, does so because they want to, not because they have to...

Needless to say, I am a code operator...but you dont have to be. There are several modes of communication, many of which are digital, and interfaced with computers....and they're all fun... Reply...

Hey everyone,


YE-HA,  off of work today through Monday, I don't return until Tuesady!!!  It is dry outside so far, then again it is only 830am.  Give it time...actually it looks like the sun is trying its best to come out!!!  I can only hope!


Theresa, the fourth we are camping at the motocross track...my stepson is racing his 2nd race ever...I'll be watching for the 1st time.  My nephew is racing is 2nd or 3rd season...I have only watched a couple of times.  With the girl in allstars, I haven't had any down time...so this weekend is a really good getaway for me.  No ball!!!!  Last night we had horrible rain storms...the coaches rented an indoor field...the girls had a lil scrimmage...loads of fun.  My daughter is learning signals, very funny to watch.  She is quite smart and quick...coach showed her once and she knows them.  She has always been that way.  Photographic memory, that one!!!   Very proud mom, I am!!!!


 


Biddeford is ok not the ideal small town...we are close to the river and ocean...the city itself has always been a lil bit dumpy....Saco is much nicer.  See I am from Saco originally and there has been a battle between Saco and Biddeford forever...high school football rivals.  Battle of the Bridge they call it!!! I have a TA sweatshirt, my high school and my hubby has a tigers sweatshirt, his Biddeford team...we will go out on the motorcycle together wearing our rival sweatshirts...people will actually comment, when we stop for a butt or at a store...once in line at the store...a couple oldtimers and their wives got the biggest kick out of the fact that we were married and wearing the sweatshirts...fun times!!!  So anyway I say that Saco is nicer and Rol, my hubby, originally from NYC, but has been in Biddeford since his younger years will tell you Biddeford is better.  Traffic has tripled in the past decade easily!!!


Rol was stationed at  OFFUTT, Nebraska, he worked for electronic security command.  He was in the Air Force for 6 years.  2 regular and 4 in the guard. He wishes now that he stayed.  Planes and flying have always been a passion of his since he was young. For work he builds jet engines for the military and commercial planes....  He has his pilots license for small planes.  I have flown twice with him, loads of fun....love those small prop planes. He owned one while married the 1st time around but while divorcing he sold it...bought the harley...that pizzed of the x, she hated flying and wanted him to buy a bike...lol!!!  Now I ride with him and forget that I am half her size...ouch that was mean....oops, sorry.  hahahah!!!


I hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday weekend, maybe I'll catch ya tomorrow morning before leaving....

Good Morning Care, KO, Pets, Brats and Sneaky Cat and everyone else, how are you today?

 



Sneaky this forum was started with personal stories and thoughts. Feel free to join in. I misunderstood what brats, said and I apologized for it.  Anyone can read this forum, it would be nice to hear more personal stories. It is a safe room that we can talk about our religion or lack of it without being slammed. I just get tired of people telling me to move back to New York. It has happened so many times in different forums. I am open minded and have different views on things, sometimes people hate me for it. My husband and my self made over a hundred thousand dollars last year and every penny was spent in North Dakota. My husband and I don’t even buy anything made in china and that is allot of stuff. Look at your toothpaste, it is most likely made in china, ours is not. We buy everything Dakota made. We poured twenty seven thousand dollars into North Dakota schools, and some of that were parent loans for school.  If I could move back the east coast I would.

 



 Care in my opinion lives in my perfect idea of a town, Biddelford Maine. It is raining like crazy there and her daughters are in softball. I just like to hear how they are doing.

 



http://pressherald.mainetoday.com/story.php?id=265933&ac=PHnws

 



It is  the town I always wanted to live in, every Steven King book is centered in a little town in Maine. She is close to ocean.  Visiting Biddelford is on my bucket list. I know I will go because I drive up the coast to Massachusetts at Halloween is a tradition. We go to Salem every year to celebrate the day with some real freaks. We already have reservations at a hotel for the next three years, because it gets that busy. It is the Mardi Gras of the East coast.

 



I can’t wait to hear about KO’s trip to Montana, and more want about Pets animals, no one in this room will say she is a bad person. I think she is great.

 



This is good mood room.

 



I would like to hear if Sick-O is reading this because I have a 2 page answer to why women, need sex.

 



Care, how is it going besides rain and rain? What are you doing for the forth?  We don’t really go anywhere my son has a job at the local pool as a lifeguard. What is anyone doing for the forth. Let’s hear about it. I love you all.  Talk to you later Theresa

Well good evening all,


Sneaky...good to hear from you!  How have you been?  Hear from Rey lately? 


Brats, Wisconsin?  Never been there...I've been as far as Michigan.  I took a vaca in Michigan, drove from maine so I got to add a few pins to the US map...fun road trip. 


 Back to my crappy weather...Sat & Sun are suppose to sunny....my fingers are crossed!!!  Staying overnight at a motocross track on Sat so i am hoping for that 2 day break of rain.  They say it rained 24 out of the 30 days in June.  Yuk!!!


Have a nice night, and I'll try to stop in tomorrow...busy getting ready for raceday....

Theresa,

It is your free choice to post all your personal info on this forum.......but, please keep in mind that it is a very public forum, meaning, anybody on the face on the earth can stumble upon it, and read everything all of us post.

That being said, I think maybe your Facebook page would be a safer place for so much personal info - that way, you pick and choose who you "allow" to see and read what has kind of become a personal journal, bordering on a diary of sorts.  Another option would be a blog, they are becoming very popular. 

I don't think Brats had any ill intent in her post..........remember that what you have written may have been aimed more towards what you consider your "Forum Friends", but like I have posted before, we DO NOT know who reads these posts.  I think it is an issue of personal safety................

Hi KO, Care, Pets and everyone else. Ko you can come over anytime!  There are lot of million dollar homes in Minot. Up here on the north hill there are tons.  My house is not any where a near a million dollar house, but it is our house, and until the mortgage is paid off or least for the next ten years we are here.  I will be 61 in ten years that is when I hope to really travel.  I love Ireland; I have been there eleven times over the past 40 years it never gets old.  If I could move anywhere it would be there.  I looked at a house there while I was stationed in Iceland. We went to Ireland on a leave and it was really tempting.  My friends and I did castles and pubs tour three years ago and it was so much fun.  Maybe some time we can all go. It doesn’t cost very much it depends on how many weeks you want to go.  When the mad cow thing was happening, we went on a tour for three weeks for less than $2,000.00 including my airfare from here.  With you there Ko we wouldn't have to pay for any drinks.


Today I worked at the soup kitchen, it is a hard day.  There is this one man, his name is Albert, he dresses and he thinks he is Adolf Hitler. We are wack, but who am I to call anyone a wack?


Michigan and Ohio are both nice states, good luck finding employment; I know the unemployment is bad in both states. Too many men and women get out of the military thinking that finding a job will be easy, when it never is.  My husband is still searching for the perfect job. For me, after 23 years as Law Enforcement in the Air Force there are not a lot of job options. So I suck my retirement, and his retirement, and he gets to make more money at another career. I can’t see myself working for anyone, I am to strong willed and I like to be in charge.


Did you guys see the story about the pet python snake that killed the infant in the house? How silly is that having an infant with a big snake. It happened in Florida here is the link,


http://www.miamiherald.com/news/southflorida/story/1123803.html


The police don’t have anything to charge the parents with. I think there should be a dumbass law, and they are the first to go.


I am sorry brats I took your post the wrong way forgive me.


Care I looked at your forecast, rain, rain, rain and then more rain. Maybe we should have Sick-O do your weather also.  I hope you can squeeze some softball games in.   Is funny I never noticed how many things can be name mainly. Like Mainly Hot Tubs, Mainly lobsters, mainly bagels, Mainly Cars. It is great to be a mainly person.  How great is the Ocean today?  Every day I walk the paper route with my son, and think about the ocean. There are people here in this town that has never seen the ocean.  How great it is to see the sun rise. The fireworks don’t start in this state until about 2230; it is still bright until then. My father always remembers that about Minot, how bright it was in the evening.  Oh well see you later. Have a nice evening everyone. I am so tired from the soup kitchen, I am going to collapse.  Theresa

I didnt know there were those kinds of houses in Minot :)  I would love to live somewhere else too and I have lived all over the place..but I also love minot because of the people and my family is all here.  I wanted to retire in Florida but..well I wouldnt now because of the economy..I will wait til the kids move and then relocate somewhere else. The husband and I are thinking of eventually moving to Michigan or Ohio so I can be closer to the kids. Reply...

In Article: Question for Sick~O

So now until early Saturday could see some rainfall. Saturday is still iffy, so I will say a chance for rain maybe 20 percent. A rainshower on Saturday will be the exception not the rule. Sunday looks to be a great day as well. As with all storms this time of year they all have the chance of going severe.  Temp wise we will be seasonal, Highs in the low to mid 80's and lows in the high 50's to low 60's. 


It looks like the middle to late week next week, we could have a severe weather outbreak. If this stays like it is now, this will some of the best chances we have had for really bad thunderstorms.

Sick, That is a point that I never considered. There was ample evidence however that they were trying to do more than just keep it around until France builds them another nuclear power plant. Neon duck, Iraq's Hussein did a little more than stockpile WMD. He also funded and hosted Al-Quada ... you know, the group that blew up the trade centers. Remember them? They hijacked planes and flew them into buildings. Remember ... they killed over 3,000 Americans and bombed one of our ships ... remember ....... Reply...

Theresa I wasn't being mean I said(don't take this the wrong way). I just was asking a question. I have not been mean to anyone on this forum, but since you don't seem to want anyone else to respond to this link I won't.  


Care as far as small towns, it was in WI. and now 50 miles south of Minot.

Mornin T,


I just got done with the PPH, and the article on Holland, the alleged murderer.  I read some comments...boy oh boy people are upset that he was allowed in court in suit and tie instead of the standard York County orange jumpsuit.  It would appear the race card is working, he is getting special privialeges already.  I never heard the one story where he threatened to put a bullet in the x and her lawyers head...I told ya on day one this dude was nuts. I like how the witnesses say that the brother ran across the street b/c he was ordered to stay away....ok, I find that hard to believe, also they were on bikes not foot, I saw their bikes at the scene that night...the FD was hosing down the street...washing away the blood I suppose. It'll be interesting, this guy's rap sheet is very very very long...too bad Maine didn't have the death penalty.


On to happier stuff...still fog, mist, rain and possible chance of Thunderstorms...the report does say that Sat & Sun are suppose to be sunny and no rain...fingers are crossed.   Thank you for explaining your religious background.  Mine is, mother catholic and father protestant they couldn't agree what to do with us 4 kids so they did nothing.  One brother is a believer another is atheist another is a member of a some church or was (maybe 7th day adventist??)  and I have  ????'s  lots of questions.  My husband was raised catholic along with his x wife so I believe their 2 kids are catholic.  My oldest dad's family were raised baptist....I am completely confused now....no clue what to do.  A friend once said I wouldn't make it in catholic church and should I decide she recommended I try a baptist church first...LOL!  She has known me my entire life, I will trust her on this one...hahahah!


How are the dogs doing?  I was happy to read you rescued them from a puppy mill.  I hear the reports about those mills it is gut wrenching and heartbreaking.  I got my dog the old fashioned way...in divorce..lol!  My boss split up with spouse and had no where to take the dog, so I agreed to three days of babysitting.  The dog, Yogi, liked it so much here and I loved him so much, that he got to stay!!!


Have a great day!!
