I want to thank my fellow veterans for all they have done and given up so others can have the freedom to call them names and disparage them. Thank those veterans who gave up part of their life and were froced to live a lie because of their sexual orientation, which for some reason makes them unfit to serve their country. Thank you, my fellow veterans for participating in various religious events regardless of your personal beliefs. Thanks to the 5,248 who have given their lives for our c... Read Full Story

ON THE HOME FRONT I spent a good part of yesterday evening in the E.R. because it was too hard to breath and cough. I went through several breathing treatments before they finally let me leave. The doctor told me they thought about keeping me there, I am glad they let me leave, I would hate being stuck in there. ~~~~ ONE MORE THING TO MAKE IT HARDER TO BE A MUSLIM IN THE MILITARY Maj.

I am feeling a little better today. It still hurts very bad to cough, every time I get into a good coughing fit it feels like my ribs are going to break and that I am going to pass out. Yesterday at Walgreen’s I started coughing and ended up on the floor, I am glad they didn’t call 911 on it. Dawnell taught me how to douche my sinus’ out last night and it really helped. I did it again today but had the water a little hot but it still cleaned them out again. Wouldn̵... Read Full Story

Happy Birthday Karen ~~~~ Last night we watched “The 4th Dimension” for Halloween. I cooked a half turkey breast for dinner, Shane had Sushi. Kids are not allowed to Trick or Treat where we live because it is so dark, so they all go over to the town across the highway. It makes it very quiet at home, although sometimes it is fun to see the costumes. This morning at 2am we changed time back an hour so I had to work 9 hours last night. That made for a long night. It was exci... Read Full Story

I finished my class on Tuesday, it was an easy class and very boring at times. The instructor smoked as did a good many in the class so there were a lot of breaks. What took two days could have been done in a day, and if they had cut out the 90 minute lunch break it could have been done in even less time. It started raining and storming this morning while I was at work. We had a couple of nice days before hand so I guess this is the start of a new cycle of weather and will probably bring...

It has been a cold wet couple of days. It rained all day today and in mid morning it was mixed with snow, big wet flakes. I am finding the heat pump heat a little different. It feels colder in the house even though it is the same tempature as we always keep it at, 68. I guess it will take time to get use to. I have been having some kidney stone issues the past couple of weeks. I passed one stone and I know I have atleast one more, because I can feel it moving from time to time. I have... Read Full Story

We went on a small vacation this past weekend up to Hill City S.D. We went to see Mt Rushmore and Crazy Horse. It started snowiing there on Saturday night. On Sunday we went sight seeing, Mt Rushmore was pretty in the snow but it was hard to take pictures, on top of that there was fog which covered a lot of the mountains and hills. By late afternoon Sunday, we headed back to our hotel room because the roads were getting bad and it was getting pretty windy and cold. Our son went swimming ... Read Full Story
