Those pictured look like they're in 3rd grade. I remember the dodge ball I played was while I was in HS ... 10-12th grade. A lot meaner & stronger than these wimps. I was a head-hunter.

Yeah, I think 3rd grade was more of a red rover red rover than dodge ball.

I was 9 in the 3rd grade. I remember fist fighting or staying out of'em.

Think we started in 6th and played thru HS...we also played that game where u had to push a giant ball to the other side of the gym against another team..it was awesome kids were getting tossed over the ball and steamrolled...In that pic it looks like you only have to worry about 2 of them...that kid in the blue looks eager to nail an azz or 3 and the kid in the white wife beater..he looks sweaty like he has been out back getting his arm loose

Seems like we played a lot of kick-ball in the 5th & 6th grade when not playing football.

Nothing major, and one I'm not sure was Tinker, but that had to do with one mission going away and picking up another. The latest one is one of the things the press loves to run with - flashy stories about dissension within the military.

Scrubbed AWACS Flights Lead to Toxic Leadership Allegations at Tinker Air Force Base

Yeah, read that after you mentioned it. @SpaceCoastVol could probably elaborate on the crew rest portion of complaints, but the dude does seem like an a-hole.

It happens in the .mil from time to time.

Yep kicking myself for never jumping on that one...my thought was always...that's gotta be a logistical nightmare to keep those out of the way stores stocked but they do it...saves me a good 15 minute drive into town many days...heck I could walk or take the golf cart and survive for weeks on nothing but DG probably

Also George Harrison footed the bill for Life Of Brian

In case you haven't heard it lately, you are a person of worth. You are valued. I may not agree with everything you say, but I still love you as a brother of the Divine and a fellow traveler on this rock hurling through space.

I hope your day goes smoothly and something unexpected brings you a smile.

Yes, I'm talking to you.

Thanks! There’ll be an extra boost in my step today. Sometimes we all need a reminder, I pray the same for you.

This makes me feels really old when people that were legends in my youth are dying. We all die, it's just a matter of when.

I was thinking about telling the funeral home to play this when they put me on display so when everyone comes by and look at my dead body and comment about how bad I looked. After careful consideration, it's going to be burn me and stick me in a jar.

I guess you can have songs recorded that you liked to have them play ... after all it is your funeral. When my father-in-law passed away in 2016 some family member had recorded old time gospel music to be played while we sat there waiting for the pastor to speak.

My mother didn’t want a viewing, a casket, or a burial. So, at her service, with her urn on display, we played some of her favorite songs while a slide show of some of our favorite pics of her was being presented. One of them was the bonanza theme song, I kid you not… It made everyone smile and some even giggle, it was absolutely perfect. My mother would have loved it!!!
