<p>Um, okay. I'm looking around. Where is everyone?</p>
<p>We're still around! But, w/2 seniors in the house, things are pretty crazy around here! Son received Permit to Report on Friday and last thing he did before leaving for prom was to slap his "Class of 2011" bumper sticker on his car. Oh, and he also wore an all-white tux-getting ready for the future, I guess. Looking forward to meeting everyone in June!</p>
<p>Nurseypoo... only took me 6 weeks to show up from your last post!</p>
<p>so, How are the moms holding up with 3 weeks to go??</p>
<p>(has anyone seen Casino Royale.. DANIEL CRAIG!!)</p>
<p>and still looking for Nurseypoo with the chocolate...</p>
<p>and I am guessing Spidermom is shopping for the white undies :)</p>
<p>IT IS HOT IN GEORGIA! and time is a'wastin'.</p>
<p>Oh, white undies we got! Had Spider throw out his original NMMI ones when we went up for a visit in April. They were grey! Bought beaucoup new ones then. Do you think he'll get in trouble if the undies aren't new in the package? Oh, now I'm gonna worry and end up buying new-new ones!</p>
<p>Hehe, Spider will be so pleased to know I've described his underwear. Ya'll don't tell please ;)</p>
<p>If I am not mistaken, Navy is issuing thongs to this years to Plebes.
:cool:
:D</p>

<p>LOL -- glad to know my son was not the only one that went to NMMI with white undies and came home with gray ones! My husband asked him if he ever heard of bleach! :D</p>
<p>HA HA MARINE! And I know of one plebe (a female, of course) who would be thrilled if the USNA would issue white thongs. </p>
<p>Does anyone know the name of a mixed drink that consists of Amaretto and Gingerale? It is to die for! and Just add a twist of Orange juice, close your eyes and you will think you are on a distant shore on some caribbean island. WOW I need a vacation.. and I dont mean a trip to Annapolis in 3 weeks.</p>
<p>I just found the answer to my question above.. it is called a Dirty Shirley.. Gotta luv that!</p>
<p><-- Rummaging under his desk for a bottle of amaretto....</p>

<p>...and coloring books to graduating Marine officers. :D</p>
<p>My hope being from the medical community is that thongs will never be an option. The infections caused from this type of "underthing" leads me to wonder why they don't come with a health warning....doesn't take too much intelligence to see that gravity takes everything downward (yes, even bacteria), and add a little sweat to that and a tight band directing it straight to where it doesn't need to be, and ouch, there you have it...not a pleasant way to spend a plebe or swab summer...or really any part of your life...</p>
<p>oh wow hpflrent... way to graphic and yuck for a silly idea :)</p>
<p>I am guessing you are not wearing a thong right now! hehe</p>
<p>Zaphod.. do share that Dirty Shirley!</p>
<p>Okay, okay, I'll bite. </p>
<p>I myself used to be a "thong hater." I could not imagine a strap up my a** and being comfortable.</p>
<p>I have since changed my mind. :D</p>
<p>My feeling about thongs...what is the point? You might as well go commando. ;)</p>
<p>Oh the things we talk about here!</p>
<p>I say "whatever floats your boat" or "flosses your ..." </p>
<p>WA MOM - "Oh the things we talk about here!"</p>
<p>did you mean "oh the thongs we talk about here"? ;)</p>
<p>Oh, you guys are so bad!;)</p>
<p>I just found out today that "thong issuance" was a joke. It was in a moment of blondness for me (thank you MTL2011 for smacking me back into reality!!). :D</p>
<p>And the countdown is now at 20 days</p>
<p>Oh moms and dads... cherish the last few days, they will come back in a year a completely different person.... in a good way.</p>
<p>And no thongs issued at usmma!</p>
<p>HEY MOMS... 5 days to go! WHAT IS EVERYBODY DOING THESE LAST COUPLE DAYS BEFORE TRIP to ANNAPOLIS, WEST POINT, COLO SPRNGS, ETC?</p>
