Congratulations! If your niece lives to see 25 birthdays, she'll live to be about the same age as your grandfather. :mrgreen:

Reading the police reports in the Roseville Review.

Responding to multiple calls of disturbances and people fighting Jan. 21 in the 1500 block of Larpenteur Avenue, police arrested a drunken 23-year-old woman who “lied numerous times,” according to the police report. She was charged with disorderly conduct and locked up tighter than a canned ham.

I was using PCANYWHERE in the mid 90's, on a dial-up modem. That actually worked quite well and I appreciated having it. I used to be able to drag and drop files from my work computer to my home computer with that. I haven't figured out how to do that with my VPN yet.

by **dxmnkd316** » Wed 2/29/12 6:01 pm

Well, VPN is a secure connection to a company's servers, not really a specific computer. Think of it as a giant ethernet cord plugged into your office jack.

Yes--I VPN to the company system, then remote login to my computer. The effect is the same as using pcanywhere, with a few limtations. Since I used to be able to do something with 15 year old technology, I notice and miss it now. You know how it is when a feature you used to use disappears.

Reading the comments on USCHO for the article written by Buckentine/Halverson. The vast majority are saying Lucia should not even be considered for C.O.Y. because he "had the most talented team in the WCHA and finally didn't crap the bed." LOL'ers. Oh, the sheer hypocrisy of the dumbasses posting those kinds of comments makes me laugh.

If you have Netflix check out some of the pro wrestling stuff on there. There is one with the best WCW and WWE(F) matches of all time and stuff like that. I can't believe I watched that stuff but I agree, it can be entertaining looking back.

Today my brother in-law Cory is retiring from active duty in the Air Force. He has been active for almost 21 years and will retire at the rank of Technical Sargent. He spent 2 years in Japan serving overseas with his wife and one year old son early in his career. Then when America jumped into war in the Middle East he was deployed 3 times; once in Qatar to help set up a air base there, and the other two times he was in Baghdad at Camp Liberty. He wasn't in the infantry or special ops, he was part of the supply line to keep our Air Force moving at it's pace.

Military life isn't for everyone, but it was a fit for Cory. He was a hell raiser as a teenager and he found the Air Force and then he married an Air Force brat to complete his life. I think of him as my brother more than my in-law, we have stayed up till 4 in the morning too many times and shared too much to not think of him that way. His wife and sons deserve just as much recognition for their support and sacrifice over the last 20+ years as well. I wish I could be with him in Salt Lake City this weekend to celebrate but I will make up for that this summer when I do see him.

I ask everyone who puts a drink in their hand, raise it to the west and toast my brother in-law for his service. :beerchug:

While doing that raise it again for those who are still serving and who have served! :drinks2:

God Bless America!

A military retirement ceremony is a really fun thing to attend for anyone who can go to one. I still remember how cool my dad's was and wish he could have stayed 9 months until I got my commission so I could be the one retiring him.

Congratulate your brother in law for me but also the family. Your point about the family deserving as much recognition is spot on. It certainly helps to have married a brat because they understand the lifestyle much more than others, but still living 30 to 40 plus years in that lifestyle always amazes me since I thought 26 years for me was a lot
