U.S. Combat Troops Leave Iraq
The last combat troops have left Iraq. The brigade's departure came more than seven years after the March 2003 invasion to topple Saddam Hussein's regime. The most recent Pentagon figures showed 4,415 US soldiers have died in the conflict. This will leave 56,000 advisory troups in the country.

I did not know that was what that word meant, so you have taught me something new today! I thought it meant something else. I thought it had something to do with curiosity! Don’t know quite why. Possibly because of the “quer” at the beginning reminds me of “query.” By the way, I had forgotten I had given a copy of the post “Mother Isn’t Coming” to a site you might be interested in looking over, if you don’t already know about it. (http://thewomenscolony.com) I received an email from someone who read it this morning. I didn’t know they’d used it. But there it is on their site today. I believe it is in the section called “The Confessional.” Also, I’m awaiting the two books about mothers I ordered from Amazon.com earlier this week. They’ve been shipped. Will discuss with you once I get it and read some. Have a good day.

Brenda thanks for the link! Nope never heard of the site but I did check it and bookmarked it. I’m not surprised they used your post, it’s very good. I will be going back to read more stories.
God, the weather has been just gruesome this spring!
Laoch, hasn’t it though! And the upper respiratory viruses have been the worst I remember in years! My daughter and granddaughter are both sick again, seems like they’ve been sick on and off since January.
Ohh I am quite Quarrelsome at times. I can with with the best of them, especially on a rainy overcast day. This weekend we are happy though, as you know. You visited Chihuatude and know why we are happily anticipating newborns. No whining today or for the rest of the weekend, LOL.
Opps, that was supposed to be whine with the best of them.
We’re fortunate here.. sunshiny weather here, getting warmer every day. Thursday in the 80′s! *S*
Hope the weather there gets better Elaine.
I like the term, querulous, but I don’t like whining! Not to say I don’t engage in it once in a great while. Hope your weather turns brighter soon.
We’re on our 3rd day of wind, rain and grim, overcast skies.
I’m feeling a bit querulous, and more than a little whiney.
But it sounds like the frogs out there are happy.
