Keep it going for you guys. Let's keep the politics limited this time.

A young woman visits her parents and brings her fiancée to meet them. After an elaborate dinner, the mother tells her husband to find out about the young man.

The father invites the fiancée to his library for a drink. "So what are your plans?" the father asks the young man.

"I am a Torah scholar," he says. "A Torah scholar? Hmmm," the father says.

"Admirable, but what will you do to provide a nice house for my daughter to live in, as she is accustomed to?"

"I will study," the young man said, "and God will provide for us."

"And how will you buy her a beautiful engagement ring, such as she deserves?" asks the father.

"I will concentrate on my studies," the young man replies. "God will provide for us."

"And children?" asks the father. "How will you support children?"

"Don't worry, sir, God will provide," replies the fiancée.

The conversation continues like this, and each time the father questions, the young idealist insist that God will provide.

Later, the mother asks: "How did it go, Honey?"

The father answers: "He has no job and no plans, but the good news is he thinks I'm God."

WBN-Have you ever had Jack in Box tocos?

If not then you need to live another day

- Desert_Woodworker
Not that I recall. I eat at home every night and rarely get out of the house except for supply runs. My wife is a good cook. Plus I eat small portions. Drove her nuts the first year we were married. She was sure I didn't like her cooking. Finally caught on I practice portion control as well as eating balanced meals. Meat, starch and a veggie is a meal, except breakfast that is just coffee.

This is how I have kept my weight steady at 170 lbs for long time..

alright i can respect that,and i wish you happiness.hell maybe i will come and see you.if were ever covid free…..someday i hope!

We live away from tourist area, such as Odessa, Ukraine. So you get out and meet the common folk so to speak. Much different reception. I was 2nd American to visit her grandmothers village. 1st guy was a jerk, I am more respectful of local cultures. PLUS, to them anyone that stayed in Iraq for 3 years has this war hero status. They see Iraq like USSR and Afghanistan. Those soldiers saw a much different reality than I did.

So everyone in the village was happy to hear, and approved, that we got engaged.

After my divorce in 2006 I went from 170 to 230. So when I got to Iraq in 2007 it was a bit of reality check for me. My armor alone weighed 55 lbs. Alot of weight to carry around. Took 6 months but got back to 170 and then got a eating buddy to beat me up about portions. Also learned to drink 32 oz of water BEFORE the meal to help with just packing it away. After awhile that becomes habit.

Thanks. It did not help that my wife told them exactly what my job title was, Hazardous Materials Specialist. Sounds more ominous than what it was. Up until I came that visit I had never shared pictures of me in armor or with my weapons. So I looked like a average person just in the desert. Once the armor and weapons pictures came out, WHOA buddy.

Add to that I had been injured and am crippled with my wrist, and still kept working. No telling what thought process was going through there mind.

Made the mistake of giving a picture of me in USMC dress blues to my wife. Her Uncle enlarged it and they figured out what the medals on my chest meant. Some medals you can't just shrug off and say they are for typewriting skills ya know? LOL

Had some explaining to do on next visit. Got the full interrogation from her Uncle. LOL

We had guys that came to Iraq at say 185 ish, and with the buffet line in the chow hall GAINED weight over the 250 lb mark. When they came out and started cracking down many got send home after 3 months. Having not lost the required 10 lbs. Medic told me some even gained weight while on probation for being overweight.

Heck we did what I call social working out which is just lift some weights and joke around every night. I got big.

You are welcome, and I have no regrets. Sure I am minorly crippled, but they never got past me. The line held and nobody got killed except habib and his buddies. It ain't got to be pretty. Sometimes you just take the hammer and drive the nail in the piece of wood. LOL

So you guys quit after 1991 posts?

Golf today, 2nd day in a row. a little cold for us.

I hope you all had a nice Christmas.

Are all Ukraine women beautiful?

Here in NYC sex shops are owned by old guys. Closest jack in the box is a few 100 miles for me. When I start to get near the 200 lb range it's time to change what and how I eat. It's easy to get fat hard not to. It's like a lot of countries they have a percent good looking people and then not so good looking. Nobody shares the pics of the not so good looking ones.
