I thought I was the only one stuck with an M16. A fellow soldier. Hooah!

Carib: they call it an M95 (Model '95). Canadian produced C7 A3 model, first ordered by our army in '95. I like my baby. I call her Vanessa. :nice:

*mntally adds Sweetpea to list of villagers to visit  :blush:

I'll post some more when I find the good ones on my third camera.  I bring my new one to base-things,  old one to the field and an evn older on on multipl-day exerciss (rain can kill it and I won't even care)

well posting pictures like that and not expecting that reaction from girls is like posting a picture of something small and fluffy and expecting them not to go 'awwww...its small and fluffy!!'

boys in military gear = hot (cept navy)

its like me and drummers....mmmmm coordination

I would be lost without the village at times. *hugs*

you're quite right...men in camouflage. If I were 30 yrs. younger, I'd say he's hot, but since I'm an old fart...Tank grew up fast..I remember when he was just a wittle newbie. lol!

I seem to spend more time wandering round the village when i'm down, it seems like a good place to mope.
i've been verging on emo for the last few days and i can relate to how doomsie is on the verge of tears.

i'm not saying i knew foxy that well but he always made me laugh...

to be honest i've been straddling the fine line between being ok and depression for the last few months, its not been easy but i've been managing to keep myself steady.  i'm just starting to feel myself losing a bit of control which panics me cause i dont have the support i did before and when 'actually, i'm not in control at all!' pops into my head.

I could do with someone swooping in and sorting my life out for me or some cuddles......from army boys.....

Cuddles I can do. Swooping in might bdee a tad bit more difficult >.>

*thinks*

Yeah, F16's going missing definitely sounds like the thing that'd freak out a few high-ranking officers  :beadyeyes:

EDIT Tink, I quite agree. It sometimes seems like yesterday I was sitting at the high-school computer lab or my host-family's basement scanning the boards for new things to reply to whilst working on my Fallout site. *sighs* time flies by at times. Next thing you know, I'll be an old fart with stars on my shoulders and three kids at home :P

My line is finding what to post. I don't know where on the line I should be. I feel sad but at the same time I feel Foxy would want us to talk about funny/upbeat stuff. Yet... I feel weird if I post something wacky right now. I felt strange talking about my manchild landlord but I thought we needed some addition... I just don't know what. Heck... I just don't know.

What I will say is Darkfox inspired me. I was already on this path but he's made it more concrete. I'm going back into contract work. This means I won't be subject to the whims of a boss. I think about Darkfox's short time and I thought to myself. Life is short and precious. I need to set up my life where I can go out and live whenever I want. If it's Wednesday and we feel like going to the park we should be able to instead of waiting for the weekend. I don't want to just live on the weekends.

I also feel like I need to give myself permission to be happy again. He's not on Earth anymore and intellectually I know he would want us to laugh and have a good time. Emotionally... it's hard to do so. I'm sure I (and others) will feel better as time passes on. It's just very hard right now.
Will I get Night Owl points for quitting but not as much for getting fired?
Will I still be a member of the Owl's Pals? I'd hate to turn in my card. It's got a real owl feather under the lamination and everything.


Night Owl: Oh, indeed. I quit many a job ...better than being fired. You can keep your card... in fact, you get double points for quitting!

Gang Of Four | I Love A Man In A Uniform lyrics

The good life was so elusive
Handouts, they got me down
I had to regain my confidence
So I got into camouflage

The girls they love to see you shoot

I love a man in a uniform
I love a man in a uniform
I love a man in a uniform
I love a man in a uniform

I know how you feel about living at the weekends, I've been looking forward to them for months and marking time in a job I don't see myself in this time next year. 

I miss the fox but like you say he was an inspiration.  The way he contantly reinvented his online persona was a clear expression of the way he saw the world and sometimes I wish for a little of that spirit.  I never realise quite the impact he had on me, the village owes a lot to him for what it has been and hopefully more to him for where it's going.

Today is the hottest day of the year it seems. It's HOT. We had to go around and get some projects done and look for another fan. Almost all the fans were sold out. We found one at the drug store. It's VERY hot.

=(

I've been putting ice cubes in the Critter's water bowl but they melt fast. It's HOT. The sign said 102 degrees and it's not a dry heat. =(

It's so hot we have three fans in the bedroom. Ceiling fan, a 20 inch fan and a Turbo fan.

Did I mention that it's hot?
