Ha, that is because she is blind and likes "works in progress" like mine.
Say hi for me to her!

Ha! About time you learned where the ON button was located on your computer. I guess all that time as a govt employee of the Muhreens didn't sap all your grey cells - you must've retired just in time, ya cantankerous ol' firebug. 
Give our best to Diane and stay out of trouble for a change.

"firebug"?
There has to be a good story there.
Like most of HH's life.

I expect that when the largess of the last ten years fades we will see another spike in marriage problems.
...couples have gotten used to the added money from tax-free paychecks
...couples have gotten used to large bonus checks
...couples have gotten used to a big boost by special duty pays
...couples have gotten used to benefits
Tax free money is going to go away, bonuses are being cut, benefits are being thinned and it wont be long before things like SDAP, Demo pay and Language pay will take a hit as well. AIP has already been changed so the rest are going to be "adjusted" in the near future.
Once military families start to struggle and fight over money and benefits you might as well put a lawyer on retainer.
Just my two cents; I could be wrong

They used to say among the things needed for SF Qualification besides the Rolex, Demo knife, etc was a divorce.
