And remember boys and girls. This Sunday is for the Brits, wear a poppy. Honor their key role in kicking ass and taking names right alongside our men and women. Honor their lives lost, their dedication. And get to know the history BETTER. "The More You Know"...

EWWWWW, that's no good! Hmmmmm, how about this *pulling you off to one side*. I slams on top hat, tap shoes and sparkly vest and tick-tack my way across the office singing "All of Me"? I could cross my eyes. πŸ˜‰

Tate..your countries role is more than pivotal in far more than one instance. I think it's high time everyone knew what Britain has done, what they've ever done. Britains Forces are elite, and I'm right proud of all of you, just as much as the American Forces. xx

As a matter of fact...my poppy never leaves my peacoat, and my needlework project currently is a field of poppies to frame and put on my wall. To Remember.

we did lose that one little war in 1776 and 1812 but what the hell can't win them all.

My british friend says she never learned about the American Revolution until she attended high school over here.
I don't know if she was just fucking with me...she said they skip right over it in the UK

And the way he sometimes has a perfect command of the English language, and other times he writes like a nincompoop.

Weirdo.

Went down to the Legion and listened to their stories. It's just like going over to Gramp's for the weekend.

Bleargh, can't stand weak tea. I'll admit to using bags for convenience sake ( it must steep )
but the proper way is getting out the teapot, my Grans tea ball, boil water and make proper tea.
Same with weak coffee, what is the point? You don't fly a bean over boiling water and call it java. That stuff should make you stand up and pay attention.

That's a good idea DK.
