    No but when the Navy showed up with the taps and the flag it was the most emotional part of my dads wake.


    know any single vets who wouldnt mind marrying me on paper so I can be buried with the rest of my ENTIRE FAMILY when I'm dead?

    Yes, I do.

    My Memorial Day involves watching war movies most of the weekend.

    Are you watching The Dirty Dozen now?

    I know of some guys Ident. I can probably find one for you.

    Thank you Hedo. I did quite a few burials as I was in a small unit in Wisconsin of all places and we had that duty for pretty much the whole state. I was a riffleman for the 21 gun salute. The funerals never bugged me as this was peacetime so it was all elderly veterans. I loved that I could help provide that service as they earned it. Until we got a 21 year old kid that got hit by a train at his unit in California. He was the same age as I was at the time. We always sat with the family for the service and I watched the Mother cry the whole service. It crushed me and was something that stuck with me and was a part of why I decided to get out after my initial enlistment ended. I couldn't do that to my Mother or my GF who I married a week after I got out. The Marines have a tradition of leaving an empty place setting at the Marine Corps ball for all the fallen soldiers who couldn't be there. I set one up for that kid, my grandfather and everyone else still on Memorial day dinner.

    Do you barbeque on Memorial Day?

    Beautiful post, cdy - I get the pride, sorrow and remembrances. The comfort and traditions too.

    We haven't bbq'd since our condo association dictated we had to use propane grills on our balconies. I liked our Weber one, dammit!

    Is there anything better than the smell and taste of grilled meat?

    does having weeds on your lawn bother you?

    Nope. Bothers the neighbors with the perfectly manicured lawns. The chemical people try to tell me that I'm the only one in the 'hood not partaking in their chemical regimen. I know that is a lie and I don't care. Must keep the yard organic for the butterflies.

    Any butterflies out your way yet?

    No

    Do you find people who are obsessed with their lawn ridiculous?

    Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.

    Yes. I love that people in LA are lawn shaming people on social media who continue to water their lawn in the drought.

    Is public shaming a good thing?

    Haha, me too! And the golf (almost called them "gold") courses here are being taken to task as well.

    Sometimes I think public shaming IS a good thing. People want to publicly do whatever, then be ready to face repercussions even if not well-founded. Hold yourself accountable for your actions.

    Would you publicly shame yourself?

    Allow me to answer the bonus questions.

    I think that occasionally there is a time and place for it.

    I probably have and don't realize that I did. Purposely? Probably not.

    Do you limit your household water consumption?

    Yes (even though where we live there is no shortage of water).

    Are there any threads that typically site on the first page of AET that you've never looked at?

    If you are asking that, my guess is yes. Especially in NYC. It takes a sweet forever to get anywhere in that town. Fun place, though.

    What's for dinner? (I've been gardening. I just put dinner on. Turkey burgers and chips.)

    No. Possibly tacos.

    Did you forget which thread you were in?

    Hot sausage on the grill.

    Do you think turkey burgers and cardboard are the same thing?
