Sorry to leave you behind Angela, don't worry though this "salty" member will never forget his humble beginning.

Laurie your previous guess was correct. On this topic, I have just heard word that amidst this last Government shutdown the US Government ( who always complains, there is never enough money ) has decided that the " covers " ( hats ) that Marines wear are to masculin and there has been millions of dollars spent on the design and development of new gender neutral "covers" for Marines to wear.

Mike, you are too kind! I feel ok just being allowed to post here, though. I have so little to contribute...
Just yesterday, I was talking to Eva about this topic and the stuff I do. It is either not really anything new or I simply feel it is not really my place to publish it since it's been work I do for others who pointed me towards that topic.
She is quite certain I should...but are you people really interested in statues that the government of Austria lost track of?
Anyway, CONGRATS to the upgrade and no worries about leaving me behind - I am absolutely thrilled today because I just realized that I can now look at pictures which are posted here!!!! I will re-read many things now which I could not get into before!
