In a town of roses and palm trees, one milspouse deflects opinions tossed at her like trash.
"Sorry I have not written much lately. We have had a hard couple days. We are running full tilt. And always we have lots of kids in the clinic. We are tired. But we are well."…

Look Baronius, I can't help it if I come across as a brute, I have a man's mind, after all, and don't ever forget that!

Ruvy,
Twenty years ago, none of us knew the word blog. Or Blogger. And Twitter was something a bird did. There are just new words all the time.
Milspouse.... as in military spouse.
Milblog.... as in military blog
Milblogger.... as in military blogger
You've just coined the phrase Kilospouse! Which I must say, is mucho cool.

Thanks for commenting. I hope your daughter is doing well. I'm also grateful for her service to the Veterinary Corps. I saw some photos of them helping to doctor goats in Afghanistan. Anyway, yes, you're right. And you've been a fabulous source of support for many.
Coffeypot, Again, Navy Nice ...especially retired, is definitely on the crusty side, but needed at times! Thank you for your support as well.
Here's a video to watch. The video is on the middle of the page. Just click on it.

Carolyn, You're right. And thank you for your support!
When people say, "Send humanitarian aide," they often don't realize that it's the military that does a lot of delivering of both goods and services.
