Meanwhile, I predict (and hope) that Pyongyang will back down. Otherwise, it will be a world of hurt for many of ours. We, the United States of America, have thousands of U.S. military personnel serving in the Republic of Korea at this very moment.
Another point: the Korean War is not over. It is simply the longest cease-fire agreement in history. This could end at any moment, most likely from North Korean provokation such as recent events, and/or infiltration (via tunnels and sea-borne vessels).
If Russia ever shoots down one of its own, then I'll eat one of my own pancakes. (Everyone else eats them, but they don't know what's all in the batter (battre ). But we will have Juneberries in about a week, I predict. Juneberry pancakes are impossible to beat, for rich flavor in a pancake. It's a difficult decision, whether or not to apply maple syrup onto a Juneberry pancake (stacked 2 or 3 high). But, by golly, when you wake up to that smell, you will usually get up out of your sleeping bag and get right to breakfast!
Not a damn one of those questions were answered. He did a very bad job of dancing around them too. At least Obama (who should do these) has some sense of humor. That spock bit a week ago was hilarous. Obama also has charasmatic and quick on his feet unlike Gibbs. However both have don't give very good answers when delve in to the depth of those answers that they give.
That all said, the US military is saying we are ready for anything that is head the this way from over the Atlantic, and Russia is saying if anything looks like it is headed its way it will knock it out of the sky.

The treatment could consist of topical ointment, in the form of conventional warfare.
However, surgical removal of the main source of illness in North Korea is still the only remedy that can cure the "Korean Problem". That may require a nuclear strike on Pyongyang. It's really up to the North Korean dictator. If he wants fire, he could get it, but we have a Bolshevik in the White House, and he is a well-known Communist Simpathyzer (ComSimp).

I am not buying into a he said, she said by any teens or ex lovers...... there are rapists who are not child molesters, there are perverts who expose themselves but are not child molesters...... or sex offenders.... how about a peeper, sex offender, how about a masturbator, sex offender in your eyes, Pee Wee Herman is one now, while touching no one but himself.... I think we all know what a sex offender is and I did go to the website... there are alot of people who do not belong listed as sex offenders.... This is my opinion so I cannot be wrong..... Reply...

Sneaky...good to hear from you! How have you been? Hear from Rey lately?
Brats, Wisconsin? Never been there...I've been as far as Michigan. I took a vaca in Michigan, drove from maine so I got to add a few pins to the US map...fun road trip.
Back to my crappy weather...Sat & Sun are suppose to sunny....my fingers are crossed!!! Staying overnight at a motocross track on Sat so i am hoping for that 2 day break of rain. They say it rained 24 out of the 30 days in June. Yuk!!!
Have a nice night, and I'll try to stop in tomorrow...busy getting ready for raceday....
Again, those who look at life through a keyhole..with both eyes, come out with topics like this... and expose their ignorance.... No doo doo blintz...your mind could fit on a razor blade...and you're not the only one...S.G. and Snowball too. Reply...
So, F&B, your version of a sex offender is anyone who has sex with a child under 14? And that's it? In other words, you don't believe in rape? Rape meaning forced sex on anyone over the age of 14? And to you, most of the sex offenders listed on the North Dakota sex offender website are not really sex offenders? Geez, I sure wish I could get you a date with a few of them. Reply...

Theresa,
It is your free choice to post all your personal info on this forum.......but, please keep in mind that it is a very public forum, meaning, anybody on the face on the earth can stumble upon it, and read everything all of us post.
That being said, I think maybe your Facebook page would be a safer place for so much personal info - that way, you pick and choose who you "allow" to see and read what has kind of become a personal journal, bordering on a diary of sorts. Another option would be a blog, they are becoming very popular.
I don't think Brats had any ill intent in her post..........remember that what you have written may have been aimed more towards what you consider your "Forum Friends", but like I have posted before, we DO NOT know who reads these posts. I think it is an issue of personal safety................ Reply...

Hi KO, Care, Pets and everyone else. Ko you can come over anytime!There are lot of million dollar homes in Minot. Up here on the north hill there are tons.My house is not any where a near a million dollar house, but it is our house, and until the mortgage is paid off or least for the next ten years we are here.I will be 61 in ten years that is when I hope to really travel.I love Ireland; I have been there eleven times over the past 40 years it never gets old.If I could move anywhere it would be there.I looked at a house there while I was stationed in Iceland. We went to Ireland on a leave and it was really tempting.My friends and I did castles and pubs tour three years ago and it was so much fun. Maybe some time we can all go. It doesn’t cost very much it depends on how many weeks you want to go.When the mad cow thing was happening, we went on a tour for three weeks for less than $2,000.00 including my airfare from here. With you there Ko we wouldn't have to pay for any drinks.
Today I worked at the soup kitchen, it is a hard day.There is this one man, his name is Albert, he dresses and he thinks he is Adolf Hitler. We are wack, but who am I to call anyone a wack?
Michigan and Ohio are both nice states, good luck finding employment; I know the unemployment is bad in both states. Too many men and women get out of the military thinking that finding a job will be easy, when it never is.My husband is still searching for the perfect job. For me, after 23 years as Law Enforcement in the Air Force there are not a lot of job options. So I suck my retirement, and his retirement, and he gets to make more money at another career. I can’t see myself working for anyone, I am to strong willed and I like to be in charge.
Did you guys see the story about the pet python snake that killed the infant in the house? How silly is that having an infant with a big snake. It happened in Florida here is the link,
The police don’t have anything to charge the parents with. I think there should be a dumbass law, and they are the first to go.
I am sorry brats I took your post the wrong way forgive me.
Care I looked at your forecast, rain, rain, rain and then more rain. Maybe we should have Sick-O do your weather also.I hope you can squeeze some softball games in. Is funny I never noticed how many things can be name mainly. Like Mainly Hot Tubs, Mainly lobsters, mainly bagels, Mainly Cars. It is great to be a mainly person.How great is the Ocean today?Every day I walk the paper route with my son, and think about the ocean. There are people here in this town that has never seen the ocean. How great it is to see the sun rise. The fireworks don’t start in this state until about 2230; it is still bright until then. My father always remembers that about Minot, how bright it was in the evening. Oh well see you later. Have a nice evening everyone. I am so tired from the soup kitchen, I am going to collapse. Theresa
