Comments (7)It always amazes me that men are just not modest creatures. Yesterday, I was issuing new uniforms to deploying soldiers as part of their deployment process. We tell them all they must come in PT uniform (shorts & t-shirt) so they can try on the uniforms to ensure a proper fit. Inevitably, some show up in uniform and we have to tell them to go change and come back. Well, yesterday I had a Colonel who didn't want to go change into his shorts and t-shirt, his schedule was too tight and he didn't have time. Most times, officers of his rank really get snarky about it, but he was very happy-go-lucky and decided that if we wanted to ensure he had a proper fit, then by golly he was going to accommodate us! He proceeds to strip right on down to his skivvies and t-shirt! At first I thought I was seeing things, surely he wasn't parading around in his underwear when I was present?! So, I asked the guys why the Colonel didn't have his t-shirt tucked into his shorts, as is required by regulation. They said "Maryanne...look at what he's wearing!" That's when I realized he was in his underwear! I thought it best I leave the room at that point but he was between me and the door. Being the very cool person I am, I casually and nonchalantly started to walk towards the door, head down so as not to make eye contact. About that time, one of the other officers he was with decides to let loose a cat call whistle and I look up to find myself about 3 ft away from the Colonel. I avert my eyes down and realize he's not wearing socks and shoes...he really stripped down! He stops me "Hey, Maryanne, did you hear that? I think someone whistled at me! They can't do that and get away with it, can they?" I just looked him square in the eye and said "Sir, all I heard were a bunch of birds singing. But, if they were whistling, I'm sure they were only admiring your beautiful bare feet, which, by the way, is in violation of the health code." He just laughed, gave me a wink, and proceeded through the line. Nope, men have no shame sometimes. Maryanne...See MoreFriday/Weekend Quiz
Comments (44)I find it incredulous at best that someone would accuse me of cheating on a fun game thread such as this. I'm frankly insulted and offended that people I thought of as "friends" would accuse me of suddenly searching for the right answer to gain imaginary internet points. I guess I will no longer participate in the trivia threads since someone decided to label me a cheater for my off the wall guess. For the record, I never googled the answer and I didn't click on Nicole's cheat link either; I can only assume my off the wall answer was correct based on the vitriol spewed towards me. Jasdip- I've had lots of fun with these threads, I'll continue reading but I doubt I'll answer them again for fear of being accused of cheating....See MoreFNM Friday Night Music: Hot Fun in the Sun, Summertime

Comments (26)Above The Clouds/ELO FWIW, NASA has introduced a new app to help them track clouds from below by citizen contributors. I downloaded it, but haven't tried using it yet. It's called GLOBE Observer. Apparently, satellite data only shows upper level clouds that can obscure the ones @ lower altitudes....See More- 10 years ago
