My Dad Blocks Text Messaging on His Phone

Posted by joe@smartideasonline.com

AS OF TODAY OUR CELL PHONE HAS BEEN BLOCKED FOR TEXT MESSAGES.
I noticed on a couple of recent Verizon bills that I had been charged for a text message. I have never sent a text, nor do I even know how to retrieve one, and the same goes for Mom. Therefore, I do not want to receive charges for an unused tool.

You can call me at any time (preferably not after 11:00 pm until 6:00 am, eastern time), but in an emergency you can call any time. I recently was awakened at 1:33am by someone looking for someone named Tanya. I should have told them that Tanya was in my bed and don’t disturb us again, but at that hour I was not too quick on the trigger.
You can also e-mail us because I can access that either here at home or away, and even on my “I Pad”.
Or if you are not in a hurry you can send me a letter or post card.
All calls and messages are cheerfully received and replied to, unless we forget.
Incidentally, I think all the texts we have received were junk mail from advertisers.
Best to you all and love from both Mom and me.

Dinner at the Marine Corps Museum in Quantico Virginia

Posted by joe@smartideasonline.com
Hey Joe,
The Marines always do things right.  This is a beautiful building and some powerful photos and emotions at this dinner in the museum. 
As always, the Marines do things like this with flair, élan, and a touch of class.  Well done.

This slide show consists of photos taken at a formal dinner at the National Museum of the Marine Corps in Quantico, VA.
It is a beautiful presentation of the honor, commitment and pride today’s heroes share with yesterday’s.
