Happy Early Memorial Day!!!

I was thinking of what I could do on the blog for Memorial Day. I was listening to my iPod & the song Some Gave All came on & I thought to myself 'Mel, you should make a video of family & friends that were in the military.' I got all the pictures I could find of them, went online to find some filler pics & made a pretty awesome vdieo I think. Besides Christmas this is my favorite holiday. To me Memorial Day isn't just about remembering those that have fallen defending their country. It's about remembering all those that we have loved & lost. *tears up* The first person you are going to see is my Grandpa, I love him more than anything in the world. If I had to choose between anything & him it would be him without a doubt in my mind. I would list everybody that is in the video, but some of the pics don't have names on them & I'm not waking my Mom up. I hope you all will never forget those who have come before & never stop thinking of those who are to come. May your holiday weekend be fun & filled with good food, friends & lots of love. I hope you enjoy the video as usual.

  3. @Mel love the video ... especially the signature on your Grandfather's picture ... "To My Darling" ... every girl should be so lucky to have a Soldier's picture signed that way! Thank you for sharing your family.

    Hope everyone SAFELY enjoys the holiday weekend and remembers to hold a toast to all the Men and Women of our Armed Forces ... Past, Present & Future ... cuz Freedom Isn't Free!

    Cheers!

  4. good morning europe! .-)

    how are you doing?

    @mel: thanks for the video. The song fit perfectly to the pics!
    You have a different way to remember your soldiers and to support them.
    In Germany it´s kind of different since "we´re not in a war" (after the politians) and we just fight terrorism (not afghanistan) and wanna built up a democatie.
    The people don´t support the politians in their plan to help afghanistan in a obscure mission and so they don´t really support the soldiers even though they have to do their job. I think it´s kind of a duty to fight terrorism but there are so many ppl dying who are innocent.. which means you have to call it by the name: WAR!

    Hope it´s soon over and families don´t need to be scared to lose someone relatives and loved!

    i´m off for some shopping now! :-) see you later!

  5. Wow Mel! *tears up* Beautiful video!! Perfect song as well. I feel very strongly about this holiday and its meaning as well. I come from a very strong military background too (Grandfather, Father, 3 brothers, and husband are all Veterans). Right now my cousin John in serving in Iraq and is due to come home in July after his 2nd 12 month tour, I pray every day that he returns home safely. These men and woman, past and present, have given so much so we can be free. God Bless them! Happy Memorial Day weekend everyone!

    *big hugs*

  6. Happy Early Memorial Day!!!

    Hello Ladies!!!

    Last night was awesome!!! I'm officially out of high school! For a group of 500+ students, the ceremony was pretty short (only 1hr30min)! It went by quickly! We had some beach balls and blowhorns come out during the ceremony...faculty was not happy about that but it was epic!!! ;D

    So my Thursday and Friday have been awesome so far!
    Thursday we got heavy rain! And I mean the size of golf balls kind of droplets! And my sister and I decided we would run around in it! My dad even joined in! It must've looked really funny! My dad (a 40+ man) my sister (13) and me (18) running around the yard, chasing each other with water hoses, while it's raining!!!! ;D My dad quit early on, but my sister and I stayed out there for almost an hour...soaking wet!!! ;D And the best part is...the neighborhood kids started copying us!!! ;P LOL Oh, the perks of not caring what others think! ;P

    Also,
    I just posted the most random comment on Aksel's blog...but the argument is starting to get on my nerves! Aksel has posted a comment regarding what's happening, and some people are still taking offense!!! :O

    ReplyDelete
  7. It's so quiet!!! LOL ;P

  8. Hey Ladies: Happy Memorial Day. The family is off t the pool soon so this will be quick. Having served in the military it is great to hear all the comments on this blog.

    @Mel: SInce I cry during the Star SPangled Banner you can only imagine the emotion i get from your video. Thank you!

    Have a great weekend. I have lots to do so may not get back on until Monday night.

  25. @Corinna I'm good, and you?

    @Nicole I love your post on ALS blog about stripping down and still being hot! That is so true!! When it was 95/F here on Thursday in Zumba class it felt like an OVEN! My friend mentioned to me that "even if we were naked we'd still be soaked"...I'd rather be cold and bundle up! ;D (Don't get me wrong, I love warm weather too just not when its humid along with the high temps)

    ReplyDelete
  26. @Corinna Have fun, baby! see you later!

    ReplyDelete
  27. @dana I am well hon! And you? You're welcome, it's not a great copy since I was filming the TV screen! (My husband thinks I have officially lost it now, haha!) I told him I had to do it for my European friends and the girls that don't get Universal Sports in the US. He still thought I was crazy! LOL! ;D

    ReplyDelete
  28. Have a wonderful BBQ Corinna!! Cheers!!!

    ReplyDelete
  29. @corinna Have fun at the bbq! Don't burn yourself! LOL ;D

    @Kristen Yep! I've experienced heat a lot...and you can never get away from it!!! ;P

  36. @Kristen Ooh, sounds like a pretty color!!! :D
    Have fun!!! ;D

    ReplyDelete
  37. @Nicole I love Rod's version of "Forever Young"! It wasn't out when I graduated so this is the version we used...Jay Z has now used this as a sample in his song and called it "Young Forever"...I will always love this original version though.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LRENRC9ELk&feature=related

    ReplyDelete
  38. @Kristen Great song! ;D I think I've heard Jay Z's before, but I think Rod's is a little classier! ;D

    ReplyDelete
  39. @Kristen Don't blush! You're a very nice girl!
    Send us a picture of your nails in the Sunrise, Sunset! LOL

    @Nicole I like your Forever Young! But I like this Forever Young too

    ReplyDelete
  43. @dana Do you have any plans for today??? ;D

    ReplyDelete
  44. @dana Will do on the nails! lol We like the same Forever Young!! YAY! Classic tune!


    @Nicole Agreed, Rod's is way classier...not into the Jay Z one at all...

    Ok, the old polish is off, time to get busy! ;D

    @Kristen We are from the same generation! Almost! I'm a bit older than you! But we grew up with this music! Great times the 80's!

    ReplyDelete

  65. @Angela UK So true! Many got so aggressive and defensive...it shouldn't be taken as something personal because his life is not our's! So why do so many get touchy?! LOL I definitely wrote some things off topic just to stop the petty arguments! ;P

  67. @dana Well...I don't remember much 90's music becasue I was so young...and I grew up listening to the 80's and even older music!!! ;D I'll listen to mostly anything...except for some country (I can handle the modern kind) and rap...so much of it is so explicit! There's no need for cuss words in every single stupid sentence!!! LOL ;D

    Of course, you and Morten are perfect for each other!!! ;D

    @Anja haha Yep!
    I'm doing well! Graduation was fun and fast! ;D

    ReplyDelete

  82. @ deuce

    amen to that....

    when we were on there a lot I was very tempted to tell themwhat I thought but then we would have sunk to their level...!!

    ReplyDelete
  83. Hey @Angela Good to see you! I agree with you about ALS blog, I was biting my tongue yesterday too...you're right, we would have just sunk to their level. :/

    @Deuce You are so damn funny girl, I love your smart ass comments, I think it would have been funny but I understand why you didn't... ;D

    ReplyDelete
  84. @ anja

    i hope everything goes well with your aunt...

    remember that generation are very tough they have been through a hell of a lot more than todays younger generation will ever do!!

    that's not meant to be disrespectful to the younger ones but i think it is true in most cases....

    ReplyDelete
  85. @Kristen Yep Sally Hansen ... kinda of a soft salmonish color? ... We got it at WalMart ... along with Apple Green, Watermelon and Viva Red ... then we did the Girl thing and bought matching flip flops for like $2 a pair!

    ReplyDelete
  91. @Deuce I JUST SAW THAT! WTH is their deal?!?!? Hmmmm...I dunno, I would probably say something, you are so witty though you can say it so it doesn't come across as pissy but funny. This anon person enjoys being an ass...truly.

    ReplyDelete
  92. @Deuce, Kristen & Angela Thanks so much ladies! :D I really appreciate your words! :)

    @Angela don't worry! It is true about the younger generations! :D

  93. @ deuce

    the worst this to do with someone is be indifferent...it will infuriate them to be ignored ..that would wind them up even more.....

  94. @Angela AGREED!!! Very well put! :D

    ReplyDelete

    haha and I'm so not going to cross my fingers, since I did realise it's not working! lol ask Teekanne! ;P

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  101. @Anja Haha!! ;P No such thing as 'strange' taste! Can't be all that bad since we are all here because of one certain person... ;D

    ReplyDelete
  102. @Angela haha bc I didn't think that football player, Buckeye Gal showed us here yesterday, looks good! :D haha I guess she was a bit shocked! ;P lol

    I see I lost a lot of fun here but the power failed because of a big storm! They said on tv that not far from my home,just about 5-6km a man died because of the freshet!! It was really bad!

    I'll try to read your comments! I hope to keep up with you! LOL
    @Kristen I don't know why I can't see your nails! Maybe you're too far!! LOL And yes, I've noticed we like the same kind of music! No argue with you but I still think I'm older!!! Ha ha! (Hard for me to admit it! LOL)

    Ha ha! Right! I'm here when everybody's gone!
    It's OK! See you all later! Have a nice evening/day! Good luck for the european Akselholics on Eurovision!

    I invited Anonymous 19:15 over to the Blog to play! Didn't wanna clog up ALS Blog with the forbidden Off topic discussions and wanna find out if Anonymous is looking for genuine fun, or if the Alens forgot to remove their anal probe! :D

    @Dana .. Hey Chica ... Your not totally alone, it's a crazy day around here and I'll be popping in and out. Sorry about the storm :( Maybe you can hide under the covers until its over!

    ReplyDelete
  112. Hello hello ladies!! :D

    How was your day? I've just came home after eating a tasty turkish/greek dinner at my ex boyfriends restaurant :D I will take you all there as soon as you get your asses to Norway :D

    ReplyDelete
  113. hi girls i´m back or is everyone gone?

    @anne-may hope you had a good sunny day!

    ReplyDelete
  114. @ Deuce You have no idea of what kind of person this is? My feelings around those people is that they do not come with their own meaning or it's not ''the truth'' their're telling :D

    I did apoligize to Aksel for my behavior yesterday it should not have come out that way. But i do stick to what i said.

    ReplyDelete
  115. @ Corinna Yes, it's a wonderful day here in Tromsø! The sun is shining and it's really hot :D

    @ Dana Good luck in the Eurovision today!!! :D

    ReplyDelete
  116. @anne-may you lucky one. here it´s raining.
    and i stand totally behind you in wath you say on aksel blog, i totally agree.

    ReplyDelete
  117. @Anne-May I didn't see anything wrong or inappropriate with what you said on ALS Blog. There are people over there who have issues and like drama. But nothing you said required an apology. It was all straight up.

    I'm not going to "Blow Sunshine Up ALS Arse" all the time either and just gush over him. Give me a break! I think people should be able to express opinions freely. Interacting with differences in thoughts and opinions is what makes both Blogs fun and interesting ... It's only when the rioting of drama and attacking sets in it gets crazy.

    As far as 19:15 ... I haven't quite figured out if he/she is the evil twin or the good twin. If this person wants to have fun ... great more for the party ... if they just want to cause drama ... then I'll shut 'em down! But, hopefully its for fun!

    ReplyDelete
  118. @Deuce I'd love to see you take 19:15 down a notch or two. You got guts girl. We all think it, but you just go for it. LOVE YA!

    ReplyDelete
  119. @Anne-May & Deuce BRAVO! I like what you two said on Aksel's blog!! I totally agree! Ha ha! Anne-May I told you before I like when you're bad baby!!LOL And Deuce, I like your "style" too!
    @Anne-May What a hot guy you present us on Eurovision! Dark hair and blue eyes!!

    ReplyDelete
  120. Finally back home, resting & reading comments. I was outside from 10AM until 2PM planting flowers.

    Glad you all enjoyed the video. Now you girls know why I am the way I am. I was raised to respect & love a man in uniform & I will always do it. I'm also gonna teach my children to do the same.

    You know what we should just ignore all the little anon's comments. Just because their ddrems are being crushed because *makes shocked face* Aksel is a real man & has needs & not just one of their many fantasies. *rolls eyes*

    I'm off to go to store with my big sister. Then I'm gonna plant some more flowers because we bought too many this year. LOL I'll catch you girls later. Behave yourselves.

    I forgot whose Aunt is in the hospital...I think Anja...Sorry I got distracted again...My sister called & I forgot what I was writing about...I hope she does well with her surgery & is back on her feet in no time.

    ReplyDelete
  121. @ Deuce I felt i might had been a bit hard on him. But in another way i felt he asked for it LOL I really do like him as a skier and i like his personality but yesterday he behaved like a kid in my opinion. And i just had to tell him that. I will never ever give him a blow job only because he's ALS, never ever! You keep on commenting on his blog! I really do like your sarcasem. haha

    @ Corinna You should have been in Tromsø in this nice weather we have here! :D

    Thanks for the support from both of you. I was a bit afraid that people on this blog might think i was rude to him.

    ReplyDelete
  122. @ Dana Thanks so much for your support!! I really do apreciate that :D Yes, Didrik is a beautiful guy he's an typical norwegian dude :D

    ReplyDelete

  134. @anne-may no problem, i don´t know if you know this song it´s a german one

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFz_CQuMPjk

    i don´t know if you understand what they sing but i can translate a little bit

    "only think what you're thinking just do what you like"

    it´s the mainsentence and i love it, if i have a opinion than i stand behind it.

    ReplyDelete
  135. this is the translation for the song:


    Imagine what you think
    do only what you like
    Take your big plans,
    even if you manage not everything

    Pick up your ass, do not be lazy
    Have just no respect
    With soft knees, no one has discovered the world anew

    Lock your eyes, blocking your ears
    And what wenndu have to say, then put yourself forward

    Look, there are already enough people anyway, there are more and more
    They want nothing to do, so nothing more tuns

    Yes, they know everything and do better than those who like
    and if you have a few questions, they lie across

    Yes, they still have not made a mistake
    but give the not to
    Yes, they know everything better than you

    And you are alone then, yes, let not like it
    If you as a wanker watching the numbers
    And you laugh at even though you is crying with hatred for
    The world is a madhouse, the world is so big

    Yes, they know everything and do better than those who like
    and if you have a few questions, they lie across

    Yes, they still have not made a mistake
    but give the not to
    Yes, they know everything better than you



    Imagine what you think, do only what you like
    Take your big plans, even if you manage not everything

    Pick up your ass, do not be lazy
    Have just no respect
    With soft knee still has not discovered the new world

    Yes, they know nothing better to do than who and how if you have a few Frangen they lie across
    Yes, they still have not made a mistake
    however, give the not to

    Yes, they know nothing better than you

    Okay, so Anonymous responded on ALS Blog ... with "Deuce, you are just not worth my time or energy. On any blog ." LMFAO I think Anon needs a nappy!

    *rolls eyes* How Ruuude! You invite someone over to play and they turn out to be the Evil Twin! But I should have guessed juvenile and not friendly, Anon needs to go back to the playground. *sigh*

    As much as I want too, I promised I wouldn't disrupt ALS Blog with any off topic comments to Anon, so it's time to flush and say Bye Bye to Anon.

    @Deuce thems fighting words where I come from. I think they are trying to get us to stop going to his blog because they think we aren't true fans. Come to think of it Kelly hasn't posted anything lately or I just haven't noticed them. Maybe Anon is her & she's being a total bitch. Just a thought.

  181. Aloha all!

    @Anja/Krys/Corinna...didn't mean to blow you off on the last blog...@Mel is just too fast, like Aksel..things are good, just been busy at work
    ...and my, my...everyone's been busy with the swirling drama...more! more! (**tosses the empty Corona bottle and gets another, but not before raising a toast to @Nicole**)

    @Nicole...CONGRATULATIONS on graduating! You go girl! Keep your dreams alive, your roots strong, and go live a life you'll be proud of!

    @Deuce...loosey-Deucey...go for it! ;O) Why not? all the rules are broken anyway, no matter how much we try and set them. I'm just kickin' back this weekend to watch the fireworks, literally and figuratively....

    @Mel...(**bows**) thanks for the tribute! we in the military appreciate you and the rest for remembering us.

    @Teekanne...i'll be borrowing your post, if you don't mind...i like the heartfelt emotion you have on the German soldiers, the war. Look for it on Aksel's blog. don't worry, i won't make it sound bad. I like what you said.

    Happy Memorial Day everyone! enjoy the sun! looks like a beautiful weekend around the world!

    ReplyDelete
  182. Congrats on the eurovision you gerans in here!! lol it's well deserved!!

    ReplyDelete
  183. @ Mel i have also seen that Kelly isn't around the blog anymore. lol Wonder why.... lol

    ReplyDelete
  184. Aloha everyone!

    @Corinna...OMG! Just now following the Eurovision song competition! looks like fun and lots of good singers. will be following that...

    @Mel...it's not Kelly. And the previous spray of comments back-and-forth weren't meant to be as mean-spirited as she came off. Just a difference of opinion that blogging and emails don't quite capture, and Kelly did admit (to me) that she didn't quite do a good job of explaining herself. In her defense, she did apologize on Aksel's blog...so, though she didn't ask me, just askin' for a little slack for a fellow Akselized fan. Little slip for an otherwise good person...

    And yes, @Mel...(**crosses heart and accidentally spills corona all over Viking the Beagle...sorry, buddy**) I promise to only take out anonymous bloggers who attack @Deuce-meister.

    ReplyDelete
  185. @Brenda I didn't really mean that it was her. I was just thinking out loud again. I know she apologized on ALS.

    ReplyDelete
  186. @Mel I'm trying to remember Kelly???? It was the kind of retort I was expecting, but I had to give anon the benefit of the doubt to prove good karma ... unfortunately, they only proved he/she can't hang with the Big Kids!

    @Brenda *digs a Corona out of the cooler* I'm pretty passive, but if provoked, the gloves will come off and I'll take care of business! But, I don't like causing drama on ALS Blog, so I'll do my best to be *sly grin* diplomatic!

    @Corrina Thanks for the EuroVision link, but it didn't work! *Pouts* Must be a governmental thing!

    ReplyDelete
  187. @Deuce That reminds me of a McKinley Bulldogs shirt we have for when our kids are little. It says 'If you can't run with the big dawgs stay on the porch.' That's ok that you don't remember her. No worries because it wasn't her. I was just thinking out loud.

    ReplyDelete
  188. @Mel I like that saying! The firemen here have a t-shirt they wear to train in that says "If You Can't Handle A Big Hose, Back Away From The Fire" ... LOL ... It's the gutter version of the school shirt!

    @Teekanne I just saw an AP post about the singing contest with the picture of Gentlemen in Silver Sparkling Shorts and black sneakers ... *scratches head* LOL Is that Lena? Cuz I think I'm missing something here?

    ReplyDelete
  189. Good morning all!!!

    How are you doing?! :D

    So for once I did read all the comments! You ladies are cracking me up!!! LMAO :D Thanks so much for that!

    @Corinna & Teekanne so I did not watch the whole Eurovision, but I've seen Lena's performance! It's well deserved! :D Congratulations to you and all other Germans on here! ;P
    oh and @Corinna sorry to say that, but Germany is so NOT going to win in South africa! ;P haha It's going to be Switzerland! ;P HAHA (Yea, like someone's going to believe that! ;P lol)

    @Mel Thanks! I hope she'll be fine too! :)

    @Deuce LMAO You're awesome! haha :D To bad he/she didn't want to play! :S haha I like the 'I majored in sarcasm'!!! ;D

    gosh, it's way to early to be up on a sunday morning! :S And it's raining! :-/
    Well I'll be back this afternoon somewhen! Have a nice day! :D Hugs!

    ReplyDelete
  190. Hello everyone! Have a great Sunday!

    @Teekanne CONGRATULATION! Bravo Lena! She was so excited last night!!

    @Anne-May & Corinna Thanks girls! I'm so proud that Romania's on the third place!

    @Mel We love you too!
    I think they don't want us on Aksel's blog too! I don't know if they think we aren't true fans but I know they can be very hostile when they want to! Well, I'm not talking about all the people on the blog! Most of them are really nice persons!

    @Anja Good morning beautiful! I'm sorry it's raining there! But I wish you a nice day! See you!

    ReplyDelete

    @dana how are you girl, once more congratulations on the third place

    @brenda how is the weather in your place? lot of sun? hope you are fine!

    ReplyDelete
  195. Hello everyone! :D How are you all?
    Yeah, our Eurovision singer is one HOT dude. LOL. He's only 22 years old but what the heck, he's HOT!!!! lol

    I see the action is about to start again on the other blog. Everyone sees that special look in his eyes... Jiz, don't we all look that kind of way after some cactails. lol
    I think instead of seraching for how his eyes is ''sparkling'' people should wait and see if he comes with an statement one way or another.

    ReplyDelete
  196. @anne-may: as some of us said a several times this is not our business! but some people can´t let it go.. that´s like gossip works.. you always try to analize every pic, every post and sentences.
    Kindergarden! ;-) as you said he knows that most of the ppl are girls.. so what did he wanna say us?

    I don´t know think he´s kind of undecided yet.. on the one hand he post pics of julia and him and on the other hand he kind of wonders what happens on the blog.
    i don´t know if all of you got the comment he wrote on one of the last blogs and if it was discussed over here:
    "WOW. What just happen here?! I thought it was pretty funny that there was a poster of Julia at the gym I went to. She's in New York too. We were both at the Right To Play gala and we're both gonna be at out friend Michael's house in the Hamptons. We're having a great time and this weekend is gonna be awesome. That's have you get to know someone, by spending time with them:)"

    Why is he justifying hisself? He doesn´t have to but what did he expect? he´s a hot man and there are a lot of women and girls! ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  197. haha.. girls i have to share that! that´s awesome!

    That´s why lena won bc that´s lena!!
