Things I Know For Sure: Poli's Version
 

1. I miss my best friend Will and think about him constantly.

2. I lost my best friend, but gained his family. His family is my family.

3. I heart MP FOF.

4. My wife has never met a car she can't wreck.

5. My basketball skills are as good, if not better, than 12 year old Djiboutian orphans.

6. I reserve the right to add to, remove, or otherwise modify the things I know for sure.

7. I know better than to call my wife at 4 am in the morning.

8. Knoxville Rebels rock.

9. Jim Jensen and the New England Patriots rock in the GEFL.

10. I can't tolerate stupidity.

11. I have no ignore list.

12. My cat does not like to wear orange sweaters.

13. Mountain Dew is good for you.

14. Cronin owes me a hat.

15. I'll be coaching youth football this year!

Your wife must be a woman.

I am going to pretend I never read that and laugh outloud.

Shouldn't it be "Things I think I know for sure" then?

Nah not really - for instance No 4 (4. My wife has never met a car she can't wreck.) was true in the past for my wife - however she has since found a car so large* that other road users have enough warning to dodge her (and also large enough to squad small fence posts and the like when she decides they are taking up a space where her car should be) .... hence it is no longer true.

*The combination of Volvo indestructability combined with SUV size has survived intact so far :D

8. I am a whoopass miner

9. I enjoy puke green socks.

Let's hope your wife never meets my wife on the road. My wife could help yours make No 4 true again.

Bump. Updated to add 3 and 11. I hate being me right now.
Edit: What the heck is wrong with my editing? Did I get jbmagic'd?

Woo! I can edit again!

10. I'm a huge fan of the Muscatine Mosquitoes.

LOL

Updated.

silver lining in the thyroid, ardent?

Possibly. Hard to decide what I like better. Good health and stay here or bad health and go home.

Edit to try and add a photo from 2 weeks ago or so.

I'm betting the guy in the Go Vols shirt is you.

Why not a compromise? Health suffers just enough to get out of Djibouti, but with no long-term effects!

You forgot the Tennessee hat, shorts, socks, and shoes. I got orange everywhere. :)

The picture's not good enough to see anything on the hat, socks or shoes.

The shirt's readable, though, and couldn't the shorts have belonged to a Texas fan? ;)

Shush you.

Most thyroid problems are relatively easily treatable once they are identified. You might need to take medicine regularly for a long time, but once they get your medicine at the right dosage, you at least shouldn't feel long term ill effects. Good luck with the early discharge.

I have had a thyroid problem for 15 years, you take a pill once a day and get a blood test every year to confirm the dosage. The meds are only $15 or so a month. Like EaglesFan27 said, It really isn't a big deal.

Bump. I get another blood test sometime this week. They'll adjust my meds accordingly.

Bump, updated.

I didn't get my ultrasound before I left Africa, so I'll probably get one sometime this month in Chicago.

The Navy is gonna miss you, but I'm not so sure you're gonna miss the Navy. :)

Beginning of the month bump.

I thought the title read, Things I know for sure: Ardent's a virgin.

Anyhow, good stuff.

Are you heading back for your last few months or are you stationed in the US to finish out?

I'm here in the States for good, thankfully.

Bump and updated.

I had a dream about ardent enthusiast last night.

Bump and updated.
