What’s the best thing anyone ever taught you to do?

I'm curious....
1 What’s the best thing anyone ever taught you to do?
2 What's the best thing you learned/taught yourself?
3 What have you passed on to others?

This isnt a meme its not a tag this person...
I'm just curious is all. I was reading something today and they asked all their contributors Wha'ts the best thing anyone ever taught you to do, and the answers were very interesting.

So its just my natural curiousity about who people are and what they do, that makes me want to know the answers.

I know some of you read this on facebook but if you could comment on the blog I would appreciate it (http://minijaxter.blogspot.com/) as I cannot access facebook from work:)

Thank your veteran and your active troops

Every year I do a post about how much the armed forces mean to this country.This year is no different.

Today I was listening to Preston and Steve (wmmr 93.3 outta philly) and they mentioned an email that a soldier had sent them. It made me realize we are all in this together

Civilians dont realize how much they play a role in morale for troops who are overseas.
Thoughts and prayers, thank yous and care packages go a long way in reminding the troops of why they do what they do. So thank your veteran and military personnel.


Here is a poem and it explains why there are poppies being given on Nov 11 in the US and worn all over the world in remembrance of those who died serving their various countries.

In Flanders Fields By:
Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD (1872-1918) Canadian Army

IN FLANDERS FIELDS the poppies blow Between the crosses row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields.Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.

Welcome to November

Lots of things have happened in the last month.

1st no more pink yay but I hope you all understand the importance of self boobie exams and early detection and treatment for Breast Cancer.

2nd halloween was fun we went trick or treating - silver was tinker bell ... again. we have pics somewhere.

3rd not this past friday but the friday before I was in another goddamn car accident.
So as an attempt to thwart being ass ended by yet another suv (yes all three accidents involved an suv of some sort), we went out and bought... a SUV its a 2005 Chevy Trailblazer. So far I like it.

4th I hope everyone had a great Halloween and now its time to look forward to Turkey Day I mean Thanksgiving. So think about what you are thankful for. There will be a quiz later on in the month.
Ok not really but it sounded good.
But I always find it helpful to think of the things you are thankful for it makes life a bit better.

5th Remember Nov 11th is Veterans Day if you see someone asking for donations and handing out poppies please help out. Vets need help and all the donations go directly to vets in need.

Oh there has been knitting but Ive not been inspired plus I hurt. So no new knitting news to write about.
And because of the accident I was unable to do Alumni Band hopefully next year.
