This guest post from my friend Frank Randle
Since my husband is in the Marines, we are often moving all across the world. Currently we are in Okinawa, Japan, where we should be for the next 2 years. We are both from St. Louis, Missouri, where both of our moms, dads, and all of our family still live. I miss them, and so does he. Luckily there are plenty of ways we are able to stay in touch with the Internet.
We have hughesnet Satellite Internet, which helps us so much. My husband and I both have accounts with the popular social-networking Web sites Facebook and Myspace. It is great to post new pictures of us and the kids where everyone can see them. Plus, we can post other updates on our life and what the kids are doing.
We also have telephone service using the Internet. It allows us to call the states for one low price. This is so helpful, because without it, the expense of calling from Japan to the United States would be too much. Now we can both call as often as we like without any worries!

Spooky has a page, because Spooky is a cat. And a cat deserves a page. I am sure you will agree with Spooky.
There are people you just shouldn’t date, and writers may be among them. You decide.
These are simply beautiful. And if they remind you of the song “Paper Roses“, it is purely coincidental.
Don’t get caught short like me, try these human growth hormone supplements, lol. Actually, I’ve read some interesting theories about HGH.
Also, do you believe goats can climb trees? Believe it.

When the sun goes down and the lights dim it is time to watch the magic that appears in that obscure box sitting in your living or family room called the television. Beginning with network channels the medium has grown to include every kind of genre imaginable especially the ability to watch movies on demand on direct TV whenever you wish. Most films are readily available immediately after their theatrical run and before they are released on DVD.
One of the best recent films I have seen is “Law Abiding Citizen” with Gerard Butler and Jamie Fox. This movie was an original thriller about a normal man who sees his family murdered by two thugs and the lack of justice imposed by the system. Gerard Butler plays the victim and Jamie Fox the District Attorney. What made this film unique and in my estimation original, was that Butler was much more than just a normal family man. It turns out he was a master tactician at assassination and what he does in the course of the movie is amazing.
He begins by humbly accepting the verdict imposed by the thugs who killed his family. Then the movie moves ahead ten years to the prison where one of the convicted murderers is about to be executed. The execution goes horribly awry and it turns out that the chemicals were switched. Next Butler captures the other killer and viciously tortures him. He turns himself in and goes to prison for the murder. While in prison, more murders keep happening and toward the end of the movie the only person left from the original trial alive is Jamie Fox.
It turns out that Butler was the one getting revenge solely on those responsible for the injustice he suffered by digging a tunnel out of the prison from his cell. Of course Jamie Fox finds the tunnel and the ending of the movie was predictable. That was the only part of the film I was disappointed in but other than the ending, I would highly recommend this film as a taut engaging thriller.

You totally have to see this. Scroll all the way down, picture by picture, for a natural oceanic mosaic. Really neat!
You know, there’s a certain breed of man or woman that stands head and shoulders above the rest, no matter what their physical stature may be. They guard your right to talk trash about them, through the day and night, heat and cold, ever ready.
In the realm of what if, this would be a very cool toy.
Beautiful pictures, which I will not attempt to understand, but am just content to enjoy.
