An argument for sensible under garments

I walk into the shower trailer one day and as I am undressing, see a pair of red, lace thong underpants on a pile of clothes belonging to someone already in the shower. Now, there is only one reason a women wears that kind of underwear and that is for a man. So of course my next thought is "someone's getting some".

Now I know some of you are thinking that's very unfair of me and she could just be wearing them because they make her feel sexy & good about herself. However, I don't care how comfortable a thong is, when it's a 100 degrees outside and you're sweating every ounce of water you're drinking and have developed a serious case of swamp ass, EVERYTHING chafes. Now you have to add lace into the equation & you've probably just ruined a very nice pair of panties you paid way too much money for anyway.

Also, consider if she had the misfortune of being injured during a rocket/mortar attack. When you are taken to the CASH/hospital, they cut all your clothes off you. So now, not only are you injured, your very pretty underwear has been cut up and everyone is thinking, "wonder who she's sleeping with." And of course, everyone talks (because there's nothing better to do) and now you're the girl with the red, lacy thong which will eventually turn into the girl who is sleeping w/half the camp and now you've become the FOB hopping 'ho. Never mind you work 18 hours a day and barely have time to sleep, much less hook up w/someone.

So, morale of the story...wear sensible underpants. I'm not recommending granny panties ('cause then you're the girl w/granny panties); a pair of cotton bikini briefs will do just fine.

    I've actually switched to boxers, I blame the Army. But really, I have yet to find anything more comfortable in this heat. Just a suggestion :)

    Yeah, that shit's ridiculous. I went with the bikini briefs myself when I was there too. Who the hell did I need to impress with my draws?

Uluru stories - Kuniya & Liru

Image
Long, long ago, there was a young Kuniya (python) boy was surprised and ambushed by a Liru (poisonous snake). Liru threw spears at the boy striking him and killing him. The spears were thrown so hard that holes were left in the rock of Uluru, which can still be seen. The boys aunt felt the evil that happened to her nephew and went to search for the Liru, leaving traces of her tracks around Uluru. When the python woman (the Kuniya of the story) found her nephew she fell to her knees in mourning. Liru, seeing this, began to mock Kuniya. In her grief and anger, Kuniya took her digging stick and struck Liru three times, killing him. This is the only spot on Uluru where water from the rock runs red. Even though Liru was dead, Kuniya curled up on the spot and keeps watch for his return. The first photo shows the path of Kuniya and the second shows her curled up watching for Liru's return. If you look at the rock, the top of it looks like the head of a snake resting on it's

Kerplakistan

I finally made it after spending almost four days in Germany sitting around the terminal. Eventually, I think it came down to timing - it was the last day of the month and the aircrew wanted to get their two months of tax free. (cynical? Who me?) I can't get into to many details of life here or what I do, but I can give the basics. I live in a B-hut (I have not idea why it's called that). It is basically a plywood tent that has been divided into "rooms". My 'room' is about 6'x7'. I have a bed, a wall-locker, a lamp...really what more do you need? I work about a 20 minute walk from where I live, so I'm getting my exercise every day. Plus, I've been really good about working out everyday after I get off work. What I REALLY want to do is go right to bed, but I know I won't get up in the morning to work out so I force myself. The food is deployed chow hall food. It's not really that different from the food I ate in Iraq. We aren'

Yasmin Farms Tour

Image
I have to say, I'm very glad this was an organized trip on a bus and I didn't drive, because it would really not have been worth it. The ride is about an hour - the farm is only a few miles from the Saudi Arabia border - and there is very little to see once you leave Kuwait City. I was amazed by three things - the camel herds (cool), the amount of tent cities (workers, I guess), and the amount of trash in the desert (not cool). From the description on the website, I was expecting an in-depth farm tour - how they grow produce in the middle of the desert - that kind of thing. Once we arrived, we loaded up in a golf cart, the driver said, "This is potato." Pointed at a field. "This is lettuce." Pointed at another field. We drove through an open sided barn with milk cows in it, and were dropped off at a kind of petting zoo place. The kids loved this part, I will say that. They got to pet and feed the goats; Harper rode a donkey, they got to see camels u
