Must be something like that. "He HAD stones". He must have passed them Personally I had gall stones. They are a bitch too.

Well, Pack93z, you found your response to the constant Helga picture heckling.

I love and respect all of our armed forces.
It took all of them to keep us a free nation. I always try to thank vets when i see them.
You would be surprised how many of them never get anyone to thank them.
I have had women come up to me after i have thanked their husbands that have said to me, with tears in their eyes, "Thank you! No one has ever done that!"
It shouldn't be like that, of course.

If they are in your bar, buy 'em a beer. (Or pick up the tab) It says tons to them. In Wisconsin, I reckon they are probably local folk serving. On the seaboards, they could be from anywhere. Just friggin' do it, you can swing it.

When I was a lad, a lady in Jacksonville, NC did my laundry and dry-cleaning for free in her laundry/dry-cleaning business. I have no idea of how many other young Marines she extended that same kindness to. It WAS her business, us. Korean lady... would not accept my money, no how.

I cannot begin to tell you how wonderful a gift she gave me, especially in those times of hating on the military.
