| christmas shopping | | So Have you got all your Christmas Shopping done or are you one of those wait until the very last minute shoppers? Me I do all my shopping online and had it all done months ago. What aboout you? | |
| | High price of gas does not bother some people | | Move aside SUV owners. Even Hummer owners have got nothing on this guy.A man in Germany just bought a British built Fox tank. No, it can't shoot anymore, but the six ton tank does move, and the family uses it for short local trips. It gets an incredible 5 miles to the gallon, and finding a good parking space can also be a drawback.Wow! Can I get one at Wal-Mart? | |

| help? | | I'm in... let's not say desperate, need of some extra cash, relitively quickly. The thing is, i already work two jobs, one at an Army Surplus store and online, submitting written works. I'm looking for something like the latter, that i can do in my spare time, between having to actually go into work, and writting, and school, (because i'm still just a highschool Junior) does anyone have any recommendations?? | |
| | Wearing an emblem that doesn't belong to you..is it right? | | Well here is my problem and for some of you it may not seem like a problem at all but for me it is..
Yesterday I was out with my husband and son and it was quite warm.My husband took off his jumper and he was wearing a US Marine tie. I said 'whats that emblem on the tie?' and he said it is the US marines tie.
I said 'is that right for you to wear that then, if you are not a marine? 'and he said 'yes' but very much on the defensive.
The thing is he has always been interested in Military and Uniform etc but he didn't join the army because he didn't like the idea of being shot. This is the same bloke who does voluntary police and has been injured a couple of times in fights(not gun related).
Well, my conscience immediately shouts 'you havent earned it!' in my head but I just shrug. He sometimes wears combats when he is working on his bike but they are sold in the army surplus shop and have no special badges on.To me it is like wearing a hero's medals or calling yourself captain when you aren't.
Am I being silly here?
After all,if he knew a marine in the US (which he doesn't) he might be given one as a present and he has swopped US and UK police memento's before with a US... | |
