As i handed my request to me Captain on duty i asked him when the pharmacy services would draw Down. His response in a condescending tone �?o1800 i then clarified myself and asked when the pharmacy would close permanently and he responded a March april May 1 done to know same tone of voice. He then handed me my prescription and i thanked him and As i left i said with a smile a have a Nice weekend Quot he glared at me and grunted in response. 1 have no idea what i did that would cause him to be so rude but its time these officers went Back to school and especially a customer services classes. As the letter writer said a draw Down or not patients should be treated with respect and dignity at All times a . Wehner Fried Borg Germany doughnut bugging i along with 17 other aircraft members am on try to Rhein main a to provide Manning assistance because of the base moving while also supporting provide Promise. In the past two weeks in be read two or three articles in the stars and stripes about dunking donuts being bugged for Security reasons. What i done to understand is there a usually More on duty police at do than bad role models people Are dismayed with the situation As it is in America today. Burglaries carjacking murder. There san old saying a the Apple does no to fall far from the tree we done to have to look too far to see where youths learn their lessons. A few weeks ago i mistakenly left a Washer full of clothes at the laundromat at Vogel Weh. Well someone decided the clothes would suit that persons own family better. I found one pair of pants. Obviously the person use them. Too Many people go by the saying a finders keepers losers weepers. To them its not stealing. A a someone tried to Tell me it was my fault. I have forgotten them., in a sorry done to think its my fault that an adult does not know the difference Between right and wrong. In Charles Dickens Book Davd cop turf Reid David reflects upon Why people Nave cheated him and wonders if the fault does no to partially lie on himself and his wife. He says to begin to be afraid that the fault is not entirely on one Side but that these people All turn out ill because we done to turn out Well ourselves. Isnit that exactly what the person told me because i forgot my clothes at the laundromat i made it too easy for Somer one to steal them. No i think if people arc going to lie cheat or steal they done to need any help. We might just make it a Little easier for them. So when your child grows up and gets in trouble for stealing a a Little some thing a take a Good look and see where he Learned his values from. A Lisa Sanchez Ramstein a Germany he May 26how ridiculous that a supporter of the present gun Banning hysteria should try to claim the support of the second amendment. The supreme court ruled in . Is. Miller 1939 that the second amendment protected arms which a could contribute to the common defense a and any firearm that a is part of the Ordinary military this includes the mentioned ar-15 Rifle and also the fully automatic m16-Type weapons which can be and Are owned by civilians who Complete the lengthy and expensive application process., Large numbers of popular sporting rifles and shotguns differ Only cosmetically from those banned in the latest legislation. Are they next considering the sheer volume of misinformation being pushed by the gun control movement recently surely the author of that article can find something More politically Correct to defend his position with than an amendment which was written to protect the right to keep and Bear arms. In disarming Law abiding americans you have the support of some politicians most of the Media and violent criminals everywhere. But done to count on the second amendment you be killed that.

Commentary j mom nervous about by Joyce Gabriel i am about to leave my family for a three week vacation in England and i can to remember when something has filled me with so much anxiety. What was i thinking to take three weeks out of my life and just go on a Jaunt with some women friends my husband and three sons keep looking at me with piteous expressions on their faces even though it was my husband who urged me to take advantage of this Opportunity since i have never been East of Cane cod. I will spend a week with one Friend who lives in Surrey then meet up with another Friend and two of her compatriots for a a no walking walking tour of England. This is a dream trip for someone who has been an anglophile for most of her life. But to just Cut Loose to see myself As just me rather than someone a wife and Mother is so strange i can hardly manage it. Off i will go and there they will be my husband and sons foraging for food and wading through laundry. Idi ave spent the last couple of weeks trying to tie up Loose ends for the rest of the Hammer. Camp for three boys. A companion for the weeks when they re a a m a a 1y1 a m t i. B 4 la pfc. F a 4 1 4 p i mean. In August doctors appointments and prescription refills. Wake up in the Middle of the night wondering a will they remember to feed the cats will the dog go hungry will my husband be Able to find his Wallet a i think once i am truly airborne i will feel free to enjoy myself to indulge in this gift from my family. But then i wonder How i will get Over missing All of them and our cozy if somewhat hectic life together. I worry about my oldest son in Middle school who can get into trouble sometimes. Who will talk to the school Counselor for As Long As i do i can see my husband listening to her Litany while contributing Little to the conversation himself. Home alone i worry that the Flower and vegetable gardens will get overgrown with weeds and that the laundry pile will loom so Large that the family will be buried in it by the time i get Back. Or i worry that they will diligently do the laundry but will break the washing machine in the process. The children Are worried that their father will really do what he a threatened and feed them stove top stuffing in my absence something they be never tasted before. In a sure he wont but still i wonder what exactly they will eat each and every night. I am filled with guilt because i am missing the annual concert in which my Middle son has two cello solos and my youngest son is in special chorus. I am missing my 15th wedding anniversary and my husbands College reunion because the dates of this trip were not of my making. So far the trip has been an ambivalent experience and i Haven to even left yet.
