What is Furlough Day? I'm from the U.S. and never heard of it. Doesn't matter to me anyway, I love a chic in uniform! I rated her a 9 but after watching her move in those stockings I can't stop wondering if I should bump her up a notch.

I was watching her video to get a sneak peak at her upcoming shows and noticed the white with black poka-dots. Poka-dots are hot!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

A furlough is temporary leave of *****, especially from duty in the armed services or from a prison term.

I was in the Navy and I don't think anybody ever used that term. I assumed it was another country's holiday or something.

@millertime

Ahhh, apparently you were never in prison.

@millertime: No, I'm British,buddy,and even I've heard of furloughs in the American Armed ***** ! But furlough day doesn't really make much sense !!
DD.

@millertime,

You never saw Gomer Pyle as a kid? They actually used the term.

I too was in the Navy and the term furlough and shoreleave was used when I was in.

Graybeard,

You see, I've heard of shoreleave. It never made since to me because you're going to the shore. When your ship departs for the open sea, that should be shoreleave.

a lot of things never made sense to me in those days.....lol. After six or so months at sea it took a while to get used to the way the ground moved when you were back on land .... lol

Sounds like what I've been through leaving the local bar - Oh and the funny thing is, I'm a teatottler -lol

Not many people know this but the motto of the French navy translates into " To the water,It is the hour ", which,of course, in French is "A l'eau,c'est l'heure "----Think about it !!!-----'Allo Sailor !!!Arf,Arf.
DD.

Well, I think if the U.K had a motto it would be simular . . .

"It is the hour. To the tea" which in English is . . .

Uhhhh, Oh, yeah. . .

Nevermind.

My motto when I was in was, "oh hell when's my time up" ..... lol

Yours and a hooker with a bad date - lol

Not that i'd know form personal experience.

(I've always been a preferable one) -lol

@raymondo64

yah,yah, now that mama and the kid is gone the truth comes out ..... lol

Yikes!!! I'm reporting your post as offensive - lol

Actually,

I'm reporting my former post as such for even joking like that.

If I have to pay alimony for that line then . . . hell, when's MY time up - lol

it's normally said as "a weekend furlough" or something more along those lines.

That'a pretty much it Houston, when we heard the word furlough it was just a few days, shoreleave usually was a month or so.

Amen to that garimiah !!!LOL. Now, about those Flags......... !!!!
DD.

I love that *****. Are these all from your personal collection or you just have lots of pictures from the web?

@garimiah: My fault for bringing the subject up, I suppose !! I have been extremely verbal elsewhere !! I kind of agree with you about the universal variations,but look at how you describe the language you are using ! What symbol shall we use to dsignate "English spoken here" ? A cow ? No ! A ***** ?--No that's French ! I know,how about using the flag of the country,from whence the language originated,and was named after ??After all, every other reputable, responsible, successful business organisation does it ! And no other nationality would give a damn ! Duh, Yeah !!OK !!
All I've ever asked for was that a bit of common sense, and courtesy, be used !!
Here endeth the Sermon !!
Praise Be indeed !
Love and Magic. DD. ( By the way, I Love all your froggies too !!)

600? Too bad I don't live in AZ or that would be an amazing sight to behold. I know a family friend that would die and go to heaven if she saw such a ***** sanctuary!

@garimiah: I have over-bent in a backwards direction,not to give the impression my views were in any way anti-American,-Well,not unless I'm taking the piss, and I'm sure you didn't take it as such. Recently, I went into an office supplies store,and there was a calculator/translator in five languages. One of the 5 was the Stars and Stripes with " English " written next to it !! So, I give up !!!
Has your B/Bulldog ***** got a big cigar in it's gob a la Winston Churchill ??lol.
I think we've taken a furlough from the Topic !!LOL
DD.

Get over it,its just a name for a card...


you guys are making more to do about nothing!

@garimiah: Take no notice of the nasty man,buddy !! I pinched TimmyG's piccy to keep you company !!
DD.

@garimiah

What I wanna know is (I'll begin with a statement,I am older by a few years) now to the question, what hill are you over, hell, at my age I am still trying to climb the damn hill and ain't quite got there yet .... lol it gets harder to climb every year it seems .... lol
