My Grandfather was a Marine Gunny 20 years active and 6 reserves, trained SEALs for Vietnam and was once asked to head up Richard Nixon's security detail at his house in Oceanside CA. He was retired by the time I came along but as they say, you can take the Marine out of the Corps but you can't the Corps out of the Marine and his favorite endearing phrase for us sickly pansies was... "suck it up buttercup, drop and give me 20"!Johnny wrote: ↑Thu Feb 28, 2019 6:05 pmLots of rest, lots of orange juice and water. My grandfather used to tell me to take vitamin C tablets until it burned when I pee.... I never wanted to take that many, especially while sick.Bruyere_Royale wrote: ↑Thu Feb 28, 2019 6:03 pmThank you, brother! No change yet, hopefully some sleep will change things, I took off tomorrow.

Ok, I have always wanted to visit Greece. I tried hard to get duty in Crete while in the USMC so I could easily visit. Haven't made it yet, but now I know ow what day I want to be there!!!SidStavros wrote: ↑Thu Feb 28, 2019 3:31 pm Greetings from Greece, we have a big fest here, the Tsiknopempti. You can call it like ''Barbeque Thursday'' due of the heavy smell of the grilled meat [called "Tsikna" here] which is in the air.

Out in the streets and the balconies, inside the stores or the companies every Greek is celebrating, "Houaaaaaa" [is like the American Yeeehaaa"] to you all.

Smoking me some Mocha Strips in the Roma bent. I really dig it, but agree that they shouldn't have called them "Mocha". I can't taste coffee of any type, but the topping does remind me a little of white chocolate. Settling into a nice topped VaBur(heavier on the Bur to me).
