Starbucks v. Marines followup
Well come to find out it's an urban myth - or the e-mail did get spread around by a marine who was misinformed. He retracted his original statement.
But after Starbuck charged $130 for water on 9/11 who had a hard time believing this one.
Oh well my bad.

Starbucks v. Marines
Got this from my Dad, not sure if it is true. Checking on it at
http://www.snopes.com right now.
NO COFFEE FOR THE MARINES
Their coffee is tasting more and more bitter.....STARBUCKS DENIES COFFEE TO MARINES.
Recently Marines in Iraq wrote to Starbucks because they wanted to let them know how much they liked their coffees andto request that they send some of it to the troops there.Starbucks replied, telling the Marines thank you for their support of their business, but that Starbucks does not support the war, nor anyone in it, and that they would not send the troops their brand of coffee.So as not to offend Starbucks, maybe we should not support them by buying any of their products! As a war vet writingto fellow patriots, I feel we should get this out in the open. I know this war might not be very popular with some folks, but that doesn'tmean we don't support the boys on the ground fighting street-to-street and house-to-house for what they and I believe is right.If you feel the same as I do then pass this along, or you can discard it and no one will never know. Thanks very muchfor your support. I know you'll all be there again when I deploy once more."Semper Fidelis."Sgt Howard C. Wright1st Force Recon Co1st Plt PLTPLEASE DON'T DELETE THIS .. ALLOW IT TO BE PASSED TO ALL IN MEMORY OFALL THE TROOPS WHO HAVE DIED SO THAT WE MAY HAVE THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE TOSUPPORT THEM OR NOT!!!
hmmm nice eh?
let you know if it is true or not in a bit

Another day another drs appointment
Joshua, it seems, still has a nasty little (or big) cough. He is on some sort of antibiotic (don't ask me) anyway he is headed back to the drs office. And Ethan is headed here at work. Hopefully he won't get used to it. Daddy has to get some work done.

drs appointment
Michelle brought Rebekah to the Drs today for her 2 month check up. Has it been ONLY 2 months? Anyway she is doing fine. While she was there the doctor heard Joshua cough and wanted to listen to his chest. So she did and now he has pnemonia! Lovely. Brought one kid in for a check up and the other comes out with the problem! Seems as if he is on the end of it but she still put him on Amoxocilin or how ever you spell it. Just to make sure he gets rid of it.
Sure makes for a long winter.
At some point I'm sure we will be past it.

kinda cool today
Yep. Woke up at oh 5:00 or so checked the temp and it was a whopping 0.8 out. Ahhh winter in New Hampster. Actually it is not all that bad. It is winter after all. People are acting like they never had to go out in cold weather before. This is news folks. Really Fox is running with how cold it is. It's winter get over it. I'll never get why people are suprised that it gets cold in the winter.
The kicker is that there is a nasty wind whipping up as well - wind chill is a factor. I actually wore a long sleeve shirt under my shirt today, as well as a vest plus the flannel. Keeps me warm.
Try to keep warm tonight. I know the heater at my house will be working.

Holy Cow am I tired
After a week of sick kids I am wiped out. Not to mention this weekend was post snow storm, so much shoveling. As well as working on a few house projects. And after all that I had to head to my cousins house to fix her home network. With no visible results. Whee.
Now I am at work it is 2:07 and I am wiped out. Been trying to work and keep falling asleep. Need to get up and do stuff. Ethan will be coming by today for a while. Michelle has a Drs appointment and with Ethan in there Michelle will not be able to concentrate on talking to her doctor. Especially this visit, it's a new doctor, wants to get her point across. With Ethan running around - prolly not.
At least Jack is on tonight.
Let's hope I can stay awake for it!
