When my husband and I took the children to a restaurant I guess one was three and the other was six. We got seated and had to make our orders. I gave each child two chooses, things that they had eaten before and enjoyed and some thing a little different. Well my tree year old started to throw a fit. I sat there and told him he had to behave in a restaurant I explained that this was a treat. And if he did not settled down and try to behave we would have to leave . (It was killing me but we did it with my six year old and it worked. ) well hr started to grab things still do not know where the bread went .Everyone was watching and whispering so we explained to the waitress. She said she understood my husband gave her a twenty and we left the restaurant We got in the car I told my three year old that if we ever took him to a special place again if he acts that way again we will leave and go home for hot dogs. Do you know that it has never happened again. The waitresses started fighting over who would wait on us they always commented what very well children we had. I felt so proud of both of them. The last time my son came home from Iraq he had vacation time so he came home,with his current girlfriend. I watch him, he pulled the seat out for his girl and asked what she would like to drink.when the waitress came over my son did exactly what my husband has done for me since the day we met he would ask what I would like and he ordered for the two of us my son did the same thing. When dinner was over my husband went to get the check, my son got it first hr went up to pay the check I do not know how much it was but he came back gave the tip back to my husband and left the server a $45.00 tip. He had turned into his father . A gentleman,a big tipper and a great son. I was so filled with joy I always new he opened doors for women because when he was in kindergarten he use to get in trouble for getting out of line when all he was doing was opening a door for another teacher. And then he went back in line in the back. I loved walking into the school and teachers would stop me and tell me what a gentleman he was. Children really do learn from there parents. Now he is getting ready to go to Iraq not sure when because the date keeps changing. He is now in California practicing whatever. He can not call and I miss my son. I even miss his wife. I can not wait till she and he comes home. I keep the phone close by at all times. Thank-you for letting me ramble. I love all of the wow people.They seem not to mind about my crazy posts.lol

I really enjoyed your pictures. they are forever in my brain.

Edith Ann, sometimes my brain goes blank, and sometimes it goes so fast that I can not keep up with it. so do not worry. we all have brain skips.

Frannie,afterr I read whoopie’s information and others on this site I feel so qulity for having to have socialsecurity. but I can not work yet when I can I would do so in a minute. I told Mediacare that I was going to go on my husbands insurance they still made me keep part “A” Our insurance is evpensive but if me leaving medicare then maybe someone else could use it and hear in nj we pay 7% tax on everything that is not food. I t is crazy how thr tax works I hope that one day someone will figure out how to make it all batter. lol

no we are doing what we always did. The hard part is the doctors they are all over. Thursday I have four doctors two at one and two at the other end.

Frannie he will be home soon, and it will be a glorious day. your always in my prayers. lol

My heart goes out to the parents of the children who are up in heaven. I do not understand your true pain. I just know you will be with them and they will forever be in your hearts. I am sorry all this sadness has to happen my tears I offer wishing to hold you tight and let the pain go away. God Bless to you all and hold on tight. God will help you trust me I know this.

Frank that was beautiful. I do not know what I would do If I lost me son to this stupid war. You are brave,and you help me be brave. Thank-you for always saying the right thing. You are a great man. How old is your daughter if you do not mind me asking. Brian and I are Just going to sleep late ha ha and hang out together and remember all the soldiers that are still in Iraq.

Frannie i can not wait until your son comes home.I will be a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!

Frannie that sounds like a nice time lol always

Hello Beth, I am totally in agreement with you. Take care Thank-you for your prayers!!!!!!!

I do not care how old one is (my 75yr,old mother-in-law works very hard) I do not care about color and I do not care about gender.I just want a President that will finally do some good for our country!

I did not see the movie, but I have the idea. First I would wish that Frannie stay healthy. next i would wish that all the children in the world would feel loved and safe. Next, i would have to wish that the doctors could figure out what is wrong with me and fix it with out taking another piece out of me. And I wish all of you my wow friends Health,wealth and love. Above all Love there is nothing like it from a husband and from a friend and your children and Frannie I agree I wish I NEVER had to watch my son go to war.

well I would vote for a woman if she would fade out the war,provide health care, help the economy, provide for education, help those in of food ,and shelter. But see the problem is Obama has the right answers and I will vote for him not because of anything else except for my position on the aabove.

I agree totally. Thank-you for the lol
