Apparently a couple of undersea fiber optic cables have been cut requiring the underwater cable guy’s expertise to restore our “connecton” with the outside world. In other words, we are experiencing technical difficulties, please stand by.

While I’m here you should know that your Soldiers are doing fabulously. The fight continues to be a hard one, but our men and women are showing no signs of shying away from the challenge. Good things are happening everywhere. Sgt Hook out.

  1. Yeah, it’s really gumming up the works. Hopefully those cables get fixed soon, but it doesn’t sound like an easy task. Of course everyone knows it was a big conspiracy by the US-Israeli faction to cut off internet (/end sarc) (I actually saw an article about this, creepy).

  2. One can only HOPE this will be fixed soon, as it is heartbreaking not to hear what is happening. Be safe.

  3. I actually suspected your absence might have something to do with “The Cable Guy”. Maybe they’ll soon “git ‘er done”. Glad to hear those good things are still happening!

  14. Yeah, yeah, yeah… I know you’re busy doing vital things, but surely you realize this crowd could get arrested for vagrancy. We just keep hanging out here and hanging out here. Someone is bound to notice…

    Hope you & your Soldiers are well, Sgt.

  15. MissBirdlegs, I’ve already received 3 citations for loitering. *wink* Count me in - I’m not going anywhere.

  21. Do y’all get the feeling we’re being ignored…? Guess we’ll just have to have a comment party…

    Lots of us old (speaking only of myself) broads worrying about you, Sgt. Hook.

    Comment by MissBirdlegs in AL — 13 March 2008 @ 2315


  22. MissBirdlegs,
    Uhh, nope, you aren’t the only one here that fits the description mentioned….

    Looks like Hook is gonna get flogged by a flock of mad wet hens when he does show up though. Making us worry like this ain’t good for our hearts! ;-)

    Comment by Ky Woman — 14 March 2008 @ 0128


  23. Gosh, I’m so glad I’m not the only one that depends on a daily dose of Hook, LOL! Has anyone heard anything? I wrote to him around the end of January and have heard nothing.

    Comment by Connie — 14 March 2008 @ 1347


  24. That underwater cable guy is on my s*** list, BIG TIME.

    Comment by Pixie — 14 March 2008 @ 1903


  25. I’m guessing he’s doing that whole ‘war’ thing. Heh! Keeps him from blogging. At least the site is up! I was worried when it was down for those few days. But yeah, I could get arrested for loitering too. That Mom/old broad worry thing is right here as well.

    Comment by Bou — 16 March 2008 @ 2146


  26. Standing by…hope all is well Hook!

Fiddler's Green


Halfway down the road to hell,
In a shady meadow green,
Are the souls of all dead troopers camped
Near a good old-time canteen.
And this eternal resting place
Is known as Fiddler's Green.
