An Aptly Titled Post
Bittersweet
This has certainly been one of the most difficult posts I've ever had to write. After some long and thoughtful deliberation, I've decided to close Andi's World. I love this blog, with a passion, primarily because this blog has afforded me other, better opportunities to make a difference in the lives of our troops and their families. Opportunities that are more of a priority for me right now than providing daily, unimportant commentary here, and opportunities which allow me to make a tangible contribution to the military community, of which I'm a proud member.
I'm bummed.
My comment?
Well, I will reluctantly go along with this on one condition.....you agree to spend the time you save showering attention on my good friend Mr. Andi!
Say it with me........"Honey, let me go get you a beer, so you don't miss any of this Sox game!"
Seriously I know you are just moving on to bigger and better things. I wish you fair winds and following seas.
Hey, Mr. Andi! Take good care of her!

Roughead's Confirmation

Hi Frank!
Jen sent me an IM at 1830 "I want to see the Bourne Ultimatum in Randolph at 7:35." I replied "I would have to leave now." Yes she said that was the point of the message....leave now. Now. Have you left yet? I leave in record time and head up the highway to pick her up from work. I am talking on the phone to SB and I relay the message. He says "Well, you better get going." I point out I am in the car and stick my tongue out.....which is largely ineffective during a phone conversation.
We get to Randolph with 30 seconds to spare.....get tickets.....popcorn.....soda.....I have Jen smuggling in M&Ms (no I didn't make it back on Atkins today). Every seat is full. Literally. Lots of younger kids. We speculate that many of these delinquents actually have Simpsons tickets and they snuck in here. There is no crowd control at Randolph. We go back out and get a refund.
What to do?
We call Bette, she is having dinner with Pat. I tell Bette to scoop two more seats at the bar at BoCa. She says she will do what she can. When we get there the bar is empty except for our two friends, two men next to Pat and a woman one seat away from Bette. Bette says "She is going to move over one seat, we're all set." Ok, I go stand behind the empty seat and ask whose glass is on the bar. Bette says it's her water, she put it there to save the seat. The woman on the other side says "I'm moving." But she doesn't move. I tell my sister to sit in the empty seat and stand between Jen and the stranger. The woman announces again that she is moving.I tell her I appreciate it. She doesn't move. There are six empty seats on the other side of the woman. Bette says "She's going to move." The woman agrees and points out that she's actually leaving as soon as her husband walks over and gestures to the corner where the two men are next to Pat and four more men are at a table behind them. Who is her husband? I don't know, I don't care. Just move. She doesn't move. Then she strikes up a conversation with Jen, seems they casually knew each other from another restaurant Jen used to frequent. I go stand between Bette and Pat and tell Pat a funny story she missed while she was away over the weekend. We order drinks, I steal Pat's knife to spread hummus on bread I am stealing from someone else's basket...then I take Bette's napkin. Still the woman doesn't move. The bartender gives us menus. The woman doesn't move. I give up. I go over to the two men on Pat's other side to get them to scoot their chairs together so I can get a chair in there. No problem. The are happy to oblige. One of the guys asks if he's moved enough. I tell him that I am happy. He takes my hand and says "Good, because it is all about you!" I turn and smile and say "Why, yes, it is and I'm pleased that you realize that!" I thank him again and ask if he wants to know the other two rules. He says yes and I explain about paying attention to me without putting up with my shit and how when I am unhappy, I am rarely unhappy alone. He says he can do this. I laugh. The strange woman starts calling "Frank, Frank" The man talking to me looks over. Pat explains he is strange woman's husband.........
Then evil Maggie came out to play.
Strange woman was now ready to leave..............but she needed Frank.........so I kept Frank. Frank was easy to keep.............lol. Strange woman called and kept walking to the door. Frank didn't follow. Strange woman got aggravated. You know how it is when something aggravates you..............say for example, someone was in a chair you needed.............that would be aggravating. Frank got as far as the door and came back to me.............she took Frank by the arm...........but he came back. Strange woman left the restaurant.......Frank stayed. Strange woman came back in. Bette was getting worried and tried to cover my mouth with her napkin (they brought her a new one to replace the one I stole). It didn't help, I just put out my hand and Frank took it. Frank made it to the door again, but then strange woman was distracted by someone she knew talking to her and Frank was right back to me. Strange woman was exasperated! LOL I should have let him leave..........I didn't.
Finally I asked Frank "Do you go on the Internet?" He said yes. Jen said "Stop it, Maggie!" I said "Tomorrow I want you to Google *BostonMaggie*." He looked at me quizzically "m.a.g.g.i.e.?" I told him yes, Boston Maggie.
When they finally left, I was roundly denounced by my dinner companions. Why did I do that? I told them "She should have moved." Pat pronounced me vindictive.......Oh Well!
So........if you made it home and you remembered...........

Another Entry For The Poll Question
Adding to the post below which began because SammyD finds ConcreteBob "Bootylicious".
Our newest entry is The Princess' favorite Naval Consort. While he is one of the Navy's oldest Shoes, you can hardly see the scars from the grapeshot.
This is, of course, that trouble maker ConcreteBob..........the sentiment on the shirt is very true!
Here is Noonan.........he feels violated to be treated like a sexual object on my blog (I don't view him in that way, he is half my age.....but ladies - feel free!)
Here is Lex......he has babes.....I am sure they will skew the poll results should they find out about this little contest. Shhhh!
Here is Chuck...he revels in being treated as a sex object.....hence the title of his own blog post for this pic...."I Am One Sexy Bitch!"
Ladies?

*******UPDATE*******I really messed up. I lifted this whole from Mass Moments (they send me a daily email). I put in pics and links. I didn't read it first. I swear, I usually do. I usually end up changing all kinds of things. I also credit them. Today, I didn't read it and I didn't credit. Mea culpa....mea culpa....mea maxima culpa. h/t to Mass Moments*********For the record Yaz's first game was April 11, 1961 and his last game (I cried even harder at that one!) was October 2, 1983**** Thanks for sticking up for me Tim*******
On this day in my personal history, I sat in my living room and watched the TV and cried.
The Boston Red Sox retired Carl Yastrzemski's Number 8. Only 20 years old when he took over for the great Ted Williams in left field in 1961, he went on to become a legend in his own right. Yastrzemski mastered the tricky bounces from line drives hitting the Green Monster to win seven Gold Glove Awards. He was also a standout batter, revolutionizing power hitting with his unique corkscrew swing. In 1967 he won baseball's "Triple Crown," leading the league in batting average, RBI's, and home runs, something no player has done since. 
On October 1, 1987, he ended his 23-year career with the Red Sox in an emotional farewell before a sell-out crowd at Fenway Park.

This Guy Made Me Think of Rick
Someone surfing the web found an old post about MG Rick Lynch. He left this comment.
MG Lynch was my Battalion Commander when I was with the 1/8 Cavalry Mustangs. He pinned on my SSG when I was promoted in 1994. He was by far the best Bn Commander I have had in my over 21 years of military service.
SFC (retired) Charles B. Clouse
I've never had a Bn Commander......but I'm sure Rick was the best!
Thanks for giving me a reason to re-post a favorite pic!

What Really Happened In The Middle East
This is a 10 minute documentary. You don't need sound, it's just music.
These are things I know to be true from many other historical sources, for example, A Peace To End All Peace" by David Fromkin.
I talk to many people who could not find Israel on a map and have no historical framework for understanding events in the modern day ME. They hear a few soundbites and they are confused. They look at that idiot peanut farmer building his Habitat for Humanity houses and think "He can't be a bigot, so the Palestinians must be victims."
There are people my age who can't name the countries that made up the Axis powers....why am I surprised that they don't know about the founding of Israel in 1948? Why am I surprised that they don't understand that the word Palestine is a corruption of the word Philistine? That there was no ancient civilization of Palestine?
But if you can take just 10 minutes to watch this video, you will understand why everyone who doesn't see the importance of suporting Israel is wrong. Why everyone who really understands Hamas and still supports them is anti-semetic.
The Terrorism Awareness Project http://www.terrorismawareness.org/ has released a powerful 10-minute documentary about the origins and continuing causes of the Arab-Israeli conflict. http://www.terrorismawareness.org/wha...
The Terrorism Awareness Project is a program of the David Horowitz Freedom Center, http://www.horowitzfreedomcenter.org/
which publishes FrontPage Magazine, http://www.frontpagemag.com/ an online journal of news and political commentary.
http://backspin.typepad.com/backspin/...
Based on the pamphlet, "Why Israel Is The Victim" by David Horowitz
Sources for the quotes and facts contained in this presentation can be obtained from the David Horowitz Freedom Center at www.horowitzfreedomcenter.org
What Really Happened In The Middle East is the third video in a series that has been produced and developed by the Freedom Center. The Islamic Mein Kampf and What Every American Needs to Know About Jihad were issued earlier this year and have been distributed to more than two and a half million individuals. All three are available for downloading at www.terrorismawarness.org (more) (l

A Poll Question
Is ConcreteBob "bootylicious"? 
Seems some at the MilBlog Conference thought a certain member of Princess' Crabby's staff filled out his jeans juuuussssstttt right.
CB has a, for the most part, serious blog. However, he was led down the wrong path by Flora at United Conservatives of Virginia. So he responded to a meme. Of course it was interesting, how else could he hold my interest..........but there were interesting comments as well.
Including one from SammyD
Sammy D said...
Concretebob - OMG I LOVE Mitch Ryder (Devil with the Blue Dress - Detroit 1967??) and the Troggs - I WAS Wild Thing. LOL And what about spilling your guts on how bootylicious your butt was in those jeans at the MBlog cocktail party???? Uh huh, we ALL thought so, didn't we girls??!!??
Bootylicious, hmmm........
Well, of course, that's very interesting although I don't tend to view the staff in that fashion. It would be especially hard to observe since I was always stepping through doors that had been opened for me, entering and exiting vehicles where again the door was being held for me......I can't actually think of a case where I was presented with the opportunity to observe.......and therefore I can't comment.
Since I never did fully answer the meme or tag anyone, I offered to have Sammy send hers to me and I'll publish them. Sammy comments in various places, but I don't believe that she actually has a blog.
We will see if we can't figure out where the poor girl went wrong.
we should have some comparison pics...........
Here's Noonan's butt
Here's Lex's butt
Anyone with Milblog butts, please forward them!

Tommy Makem
Anthony sent out an email about the passing of Tommy Makem.
World-Acclaimed Irish Singer Tommy Makem Dies
DOVER, N.H. — A world renowned Irish singer, songwriter and storyteller has died. Tommy Makem, 74, had been battling lung cancer, according to a message on his Web site.
Armed with his banjo, tinwhistle, poetry, stagecraft and baritone voice, Makem helped spread stories and songs of Irish culture.
Makem was best known while performing with The Clancy Brothers in the late 1950's and 1960's. Liam Clancy, his life-long music partner, led the tributes, telling RTE Radio in Ireland that Makem was "a man of high integrity" whose "courage really shone through towards the end."
Makem and Clancy teamed up after emigrating to America from Ireland in the late 1950's. They began their careers in acting, before they turned to music.

******DO YOU HEAR THAT SOUND???? THAT IS ME STOMPING MY FEET! WHAT'S WITH THAT COMMENT SB? WHAT HAPPENED TO THE WHOLE SITUATIONAL AWARENESS? HAVE A LITTLE ADD? CAN'T FOCUS ON THE SUBJECT?******
Last night Jen called. "I am going out for a drink with Meghan (coworker). Come and meet her. Get ready to leave now, she can't stay long. I will call when I am closer. Get ready now."
I get it, it takes me a while to get ready to leave work. I get it. So I start getting ready.
She calls again "I am one exit away (she was two exits, but she was trying to rush me), leave now." I was ready and said so, then I asked if we shouldn't meet at her house and take one car. "No," she says, "we are so close, we could walk home." That's true, it was less than two miles. "Besides, it's just one drink."
OK, I had one drink. I meet Meghan. We have a good time. We agree that Meghan and another of Jen's coworkers should join us (my coworkers) for a "Girl's Night". Meghan heads home.
There are a few irritating texts from SB where he has the nerve to text about Jen "She is my favorite after all". FU, YGTBFKM!
Two and half hours later Jen wants me to round up one of my offpring or my extras to drive one of the cars home. That's right, one of the two cars in the parking lot. SB sends a message and I call him. Jen says "Who are you calling? Call one of my nephews!" I explain it's SB, I explain to SB I am being yelled at. He asks "What did you do to make Jen yell at you?" Argghhh! "Listen," I say to the fathead on the phone.........and I explain the situation. Clearly, I am in the right, she should have met me at home and I should not be yelled at.
His answer? "Hang up and call one of the boys. Call me later. Tell Jennifer I love her and I miss her."
I can't win.

From The NYT
Fine Diner to Riffraff: Tipsy Tales of 4-Star Benders
She stood facing the rest of the dining room. First she took off a vest or a jacket, as best Mr. Le Dû remembers. Then she went to work on her blouse.
Just as she was getting to her bra, the maître d’hôtel got to her. Thus her drunken, wobbly stint as a stripper ended, and so did her dinner. She and her date, a smiling, sloshed man who had seemingly egged her on, were escorted to the door.
“She was not necessarily attractive or young, so it was disruptive,” complained Mr. Le Dû, who left Daniel several years ago and now owns a wine shop in Greenwich Village. “If she were beautiful, it might have been different. People might have been cheering her on.”
LOL
