I ate a lot of chipped beef on toast as a kid. I always thought it was SOS (maybe it was in WWII) since my Dad was a combat medic. When I was in the Army it was made with ground beef and pretty good.
While on the subject of military food 2 quick recalls:
We had a guy who hated bay leaves. He would steal from the supply shack/room & throw them in the dumpster. Drove the mess sgt nuts.
Another guy, lets call him Jones was on KP for the first time. His job was cracking eggs, 6 to a bowl. He was so proud of the job he did and called the mess sgt.1 over to see. The sgt. takes a small handful of eggshells, sprinkles them over the eggs and says "Jones, you don't want the men to think they're eating powdered eggs."
I had this happen once and tried everything to recover the files. If you search on line you may find free software that might work. It didn't for me.
As you know even when you write over a file, old information is still "buried" on the media. I found a place locally that was able to do a deep dive and recover the files. It cost me about $100. You may have a similar service in your area. Google "data recovery."
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The camera is but a tool to capture the moment. I will hopefully be going ro Germany with my 2 sons in two weeks and although I love my 850, this time I will be taking my cell and a Sony point and shoot which also has a viewfinder. One of my bigest hangups with a cell is shooting when the sun is behind you and you can't see the image ln the screen.
I am old enough to remember polio. One of my sisters had it. Until the vaccine came along it was a really scary time in this country especially if you were a kid or had children.
I'm not sure how much history is taught today but it seems like misinformation, politics and lack of education are going to cost lives and misery.
My sister who had polio was an RN in Detroit. My hats off to you and your associates. Stay safe.
I thought it was a mummy!
We are on the same wave length. I use that too.
Another, that I credit to my Dad, a funeral director for 62 years, when asked "How are you?" replied "I woke up!"
I still listen to his "Sidewinder" album on vinyl. One of the best who died too young.
Thanks for sharing this story of an amazing woman. And thanks to you for being a nurse in what has always been a critically needed profession.
Heard this on "Morning Edition" yesterday. Amazing feat!
Incredible talent. I presume you are in possession of his album with George Shearing. It is one of my favorites.
I had the opportunity to see his daughter, Natalie, live about 15 years ago. She was also great and more of a jazz singer than I realized.
