Coffee Break #12 - Remember those who sacrificed!

With those the toes will stay warm and dry!

Strange shoes. Do they fit the folks that have that strange long middle toe?

Cool way to flip the bird, Dave.

Those shoes are a little freaky looking.

Just found out my nephew joined the marines, he has a deferred enlistment...so he'll be going in next year because he already had a prior commitment this summer.
My other nephew will be going into the army right after graduation this year.

A senior in the HS where my mom works was going in right away - he'll even miss graduation ceremonies. Tell your nephews thank you, Jen.

They are like going barefoot yet keeping your feet clean and not wet!

They range from $75 to $90!!

I'm surprised that wouldn't wait till after grad.


I'd probably really like them Sherrie, since I don't do the barefoot thing since we got the dog.

I only get 1 new pair of shoes a year so I would have to make my sneakers go another ! Plus if you read the description some of them are for Hiking!!!

I would not hike in them - no support at all! Same for running. May be good for dance, gymnastics, martial arts, yoga, etc.

OK - your excused. I like going barefoot. So just walking and working in the garden.

So save $75 and just go barefoot!

In the wet dirt and cow poo? You do it!

Like a facial for the feet.

Victor with those shoes I could still pick up rocks with my toes and toss em....

Try croquet instead.

Usually the wife does this metaphorically, once they're married.

Is that like Lorraine?

OMG---that's beyond nutty! Candyce---loved the photo of Taelor---your GDs are all so cute! Hi, Dave---plant anything lately? My dale is going in for surgery tomorrow---again! This time he has a growth in his ear that's bleeding---that darn dog has cost me a mint---my mixed breed is never sick or hurt!

Now that's a call for social change. It's even worse than self immolation. Brings lasting shame on the family.

I knew this was a certainty at some point. Puke.

Yuck!

One can only hope no self respecting american station picks it up.

Dave - so nice to see you back.

What ugly shoes, well, at least to me. Sorry if I offend anyone's feelings.

Thanks for the kind words on Taelar's photos. Yes, she really WAS very intent this year about all the reasons why we have Memorial Day. Her grandpa was in Viet Nam. Her great grandpa was in WWII. And her great-great grandpa was in WWI. Not so mention all the uncles, great uncles, and a few aunts!

I wish more parents taught their kids about it.

I agree.

A quote in today's paper said a reality show was the closest brush with reality octomom would have---I agree!

Hi folks!
I have had such a late start to gardening this year. Between being busy, some travel, and lots of rain I'm way behind.
Robin, I did just manage to put in a few plants. some gentian, delphiniums, lobelia & foxglove along with tomatoes & cukes.

Good Morning all - T&M are having an end of season sale - http://www.tmseeds.com/ilist/a.html/?OC=EJS09

thanks... that's trouble!... better hide the CC

has anyone divided delphinium?... this one has become a monster... and one that needs to be staked

Chart I have says to divide in spring every 2-3 years, flowers better in smaller clumps, but I don't have any so I can't give you hands on experience.

Gee, Allison, I never had that problem---mine flower for a few years, then fade away---I would say divide after blooming, or early fall. Sounds like some nice plants, Dave. My airedale came through surgery fine----he's got a lot of stitches in his ear, & I'm out $400.00.

Glad your pooch is ok.

Gotta love those animals - reguardless

have to look up how to divide I guess... the thing is huge... taking over the bed... I told Randy it's going to make me nuts this year trying to figure out how to stake the monster

good to hear about your dog Robin... sorry to hear about the wallet... we had our Lily at the emergency clinic last night as well... not to mention who... but someone left a chocolate muffin on a dinning room chair in a plastic bag.... grumble... I found her when she was just about to eat the last small bite.. and a tiny piece of plastic wrap left... grumble again... they induced vomiting and she seems to be ok so far.. big ole grumble

:)

Ooh - poor pooches. Glad they're both better!

I have a mutt that costs me the vaccinations every year. The other one I lovingly refer to as the eleven thousand dollar dog. It was only 10,000.00 2 months ago. When owning a pet one best learn to multiply..big time! But I wouldn't have it any other way.

Hmmmm..didn't mean to put butt in your face...
This is a bit butt better
