I really love this. Here you are, putting your foot in your mouth AGAIN. Just because you have a Hubby, in the Army(?), that must work in the Mess Hall, after all, somebody forget to tell him in the United States of America, we do, and listen, have 5, that is FIVE levels of DEFCON 1 to 5. You, so boldly, have confirmed to all the world just how ignorant you and Hubby are. I must say, Ladylogic makes more sense then you do, and, bless her heart, she is a brick short of a load. Now, having said all this, go pick up a book-if you even have a book-- in the house, tent, garage that you call home, and read where DEFCON 1 is all out WAR. DEFCON 5 is calm. In the event, you should remain in your, ignorant state and not find a book, web site or whatever to confirm what I have just told you, and further, should you wish to retain the opinion that DEFCON 1 means calm, then may I suggest that the very moment you hear the official word that DEFCON 1 has been declared, I would like for you and Hubby to grab a beer, glass of wine or whatever and proceed to the street, where you will soon be able to answer the age old question, Is there really a God? because, in all likely hood, you will have found your eternal home.

What we need on the board is solid INFORMATION. Not, some person or persons, who after have been recently corrected on their misinformation, can not seem to GI because that will not read.

EXCUSE ME, bob! Who in the HELL pissed in your Post Toasties??????

If you REALLY knew me, you would know that ALL YOU FREAKING HAD TO SAY WAS "Excuse, me ,but you are wrong, it is the other way around, here is the proof: blah blah blah"

And I would say "Thank you kindly for pointing that out, sorry for having it backwards, folks."

MY GOD.

I have NEVER been anything but civil to every single person on this board (and I personally challenge ANYONE and everyone to find evidence otherwise) and here goes this guy, who doesn't even know me, completely going off on me b/c I got it wrong. Like I said, EXCUSE THE HELL OUTTA ME, BUDDY.

I think you owe me a HUGE apology. Seeing how you are, though, I doubt it will be forthcoming.

BTW, I am a GI just like the rest, prepped for an 8 or 9. NOT ANYTHING LIKE LADYLOGIC, but oh hey thanks for the comparison.

Never ever in 20+ months on this board have I been moved to want to flame someone, but your little dance on my head is causing me to have to restrain myself quite a bit.

BTW, again, my HUSBAND had 11 yrs in the Army and DID NOT WORK IN THE MESS HALL. PURPLE HEART IN DESERT STORM. *I* got the information backwards. And yes, thank you, there are books in my HOUSE, I am a TEACHER.

HAVE YOU NEVER GOTTEN ANYTHING WRONG, BOB? WELL, GOOD FOR YOU THEN. I'm so damn happy you have never gotten anything wrong. And if you have, I am certainly happy you have never run into anyone the likes of yourself.

Sheesh.
