Taurus,

My spirits lightened when I saw you posted. You have no need to apologize for gum-flappin'. You are providing us a "hot wash" on life as it pertains to you right now. Your thoughts are incedibly valuable to all who visit this forum.

As a retired U.S. veteran who was never called to dicey situations I can only thank you for doing your duty with honor and pride. You make all us vets proud to be a part, albeit small, of your life and service.

O Canada!

God bless you
