Twenty years of bad schedules and unpredictability and she always understands what I'm whining about! <BR/>But, it is comforting to know that I have coastie friends who understand and sometimes even, anticipate, what kind of chaos is looming large.Lainyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03911865320615439987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7621545773894720962.post-80789685468257904252008-03-20T22:06:00.000-07:002008-03-20T22:06:00.000-07:00Well said.

You are so lucky that you do have civilian friends that understand. I only have one and they are prior military, so not really civilians. I love my military family though.Who I Amhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04408476038286690000noreply@blogger.com
