Last night again, I slept briefly and then was awake all night. I am sure I'll sleep tonight, I'm evidently tense (my jaw aches, I'm clenching my teeth so) but once I catch up with everything, it should be better.<br /><br />Dearest Chairwoman, I think that faith should unite, not divide - and how you live not what you believe, come to that. And, yes.<br /><br />There was a typo in verse 4, Von LX, and we found ourselves singing "fir and foe" and going 'huh?' I've taken the liberty of deleting the repeats, isn't it a nuisance when it does that? xZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-6784705404718068482011-11-14T12:44:37.763+00:002011-11-14T12:44:37.763+00:00AAAAHHHH!!!!AAAAHHHH!!!!LẌhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06337382169476392640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-31310410501182886032011-11-14T12:43:52.529+00:002011-11-14T12:43:52.529+00:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.LẌhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06337382169476392640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-51492784451300450032011-11-14T12:42:46.768+00:002011-11-14T12:42:46.768+00:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.LẌhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06337382169476392640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-42727629018977483212011-11-14T12:42:34.531+00:002011-11-14T12:42:34.531+00:00In the US Navy, Eternal Father is known as The Nav...In the US Navy, <i>Eternal Father</i> is known as <i>The Navy Hymn</i>, with lyrics for <a href="http://www.navy.mil/navydata/navy_legacy_hr.asp?id=172" rel="nofollow">various components</a>.LẌhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06337382169476392640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-7307298584432247772011-11-14T10:32:29.847+00:002011-11-14T10:32:29.847+00:00For our tomorrow, they gave their today.

The Chairman's favourite piece was the Allegro for Strings which we had played at his funeral for the entrance of the coffin. We did however leave to Ray Charles "Come Back Baby". I didn't see the significance at the time, just his all-time favourite song) or the Last Post.<br /><br />My uncle, one of the few, is still with us at 91, and I will always be grateful to the young men who went to war so that freedom could prevail.chairwomanhttp://www.chariwoman-of-the-bored.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-66719599925203771872011-11-14T10:06:50.041+00:002011-11-14T10:06:50.041+00:00Would Horlicks help?

We occasionally turn to it.<br />I've been waking very early and drop off trying to remember my prayers.<br />Listening to a tape - like Land Girls for instance is very soporific - it the Sage agrees.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01529798893653033970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-12679246691072698512011-11-13T22:38:39.030+00:002011-11-13T22:38:39.030+00:00I went to the Remembrance Day assembly at the loca...I went to the Remembrance Day assembly at the local high school on Friday, Yaya. 950 teenagers sat in total silence for 40 minutes, a very powerful message given. <br /><br />Me too, Tim xZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-15237416340863495012011-11-13T22:26:17.070+00:002011-11-13T22:26:17.070+00:00I visited a local churchyard a few months ago and ...I visited a local churchyard a few months ago and read the names on the memorial. There were so many recurring surnames, from both wars.

I think small towns feel the losses so much more because everyone is connected so closely.
