tinkling....

Great quote:
�Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."
I just helped people.
I told �him� about western union and now his Mom can take care of her stuff without waiting for a check to show up in the mail. So I helped �him� and the �him� Mom. I dig her and never met her. I just like the way he talks about her and the way she is.
Then I helped my friend Greg with his resume. He just graduated and had a massive messy resume. Now he can look for a job and look respectable.
It feels so nice to help someone. I don�t want a pat on the back. Just being helpful feels great.
Right now it�s just good to smile and laugh and have fun talking to someone else who needs to laugh and have fun cause T's fighting a war for us over there.... I almost forgot what that was like to just do nothing but laugh...
T: I had fun in Germany
Me: I bet so
Me: while in the service?
T: Got to see quite a few different countries
T: yep
Me: do you intend to stay in?
T: and learned German
Me: like is it your life?
T: I plan on a couple of more years
T: before I can retire
Me: I think this about the military
Me: I think that you should do one of either of these
Me: 1. join for 4 years and get out and go to college and use the money you get to go or....
Me: 2. stay in ...retire young...enjoy life
T: I went in for the money
T: now I am going to retire young
Me: smart guy
Me: I can respect that
T: plus now that I am a Warrant...
T: I will have all kinds of schooling and certifications on the way out
Me: that's really the smart way
T: I plan on completing my CCIE before I am done
Me: I think there's tons of opportunity in the military and anyone that comes out with nothing deserved to come out with nothing
T: Then I am going to get out and get a job at Burger King!
Me: hahahaha ROTFL
T: I am going to call in sick the first day
Me: OMG how funny you are
T: I am going to call in sick the second day
Me: lol
T: Then on the 3rd day I am going to call and say "I'm tired of your shit. I quit!"
Me: HAHAHAHAHAHA
T: then I�ll find a real job
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
T: can you hold on a minute? I need to get another cup 'o java?
Me: no problem
T: sorry-it took so long I had to tinkle also
Me: lol
Me: that's ok
Me: a big brave military man tinkles?
Me: lol we're all gonna die
T: would it have been better to say "I had to take the monster for a walk'?
Me: I dunno but tinkle?
T: would that have been more militant?
T: it sounds so much more polite doesn't it?
Me: I dunno about the military but here in the civilian world I go pee
T: lol
Me: I don't powder my nose or take Suzy with me either.
T: LOL
Me: I'm sorry that was just funny, tinkle.....
T: its ok
Me: but you can say whatever works for you
T: plus...there wasn't any coffee left
Me: that bites
T: tell me about it
Me: I bet you don't get Starbucks over there
T: nope...but I hear they are opening one soon
Me: in Afghanistan?
T: right after they build the mall and Super Walmart
T: LOL
T: kidding
Me: dang it you caught me acting stupid again
I told T that I needed him to tell someone my email address so that they could inform me if something went wrong. He said he would.
Me: by the way can you tell your friends over there that for whatever it's worth one girl in FL said thank you
T: I will
