Since you have seen fit to say I was bragging (the hubby), then lets go back to the thread that fed the ammo for your personal attack.

1st - The thread in question had absolutely nothing to do with this thread where you accuse me of bragging.

2nd - Here is the exact commwents in the other thread made my Cat Boat: "we heard a slight whimper coming from a 2010 Tahoe. As we looked inside, we saw Hound, caressing, yet clawing the leather seating surfaces inside. As we peered into the Tahoe, noticing the ignition switch in the on position we realized Hound had activated the heated seat option, and she was obviously in a compromised state of mind."

3rd - My (Feb's) response to Cat Boat: "Hound's 2010 Lincoln Navigator has all those options and more. In fact, she has every option available for her vehicle."

I would say you have certainly learned a few less than admirable traits by following the politicians so closely. You have specific learned how to take things out of context and twist them to your benefit. My response back to Cat Boat was not intended as bragging but simply to inform him Hounds had all he was offering in this type of new car already.

Prior to this new vehicle (the Lincoln), Hound has been driving Hondas for 25 years. This included a total of three vehicles - a 1985 Honda Prelude, a 1992 Honda Prelude and a 2001 Honda Accord.

So, it is not the lavish lifestyle you seem to want to imply. Even if it were, what would be wrong with it. We have worked hard for it, and we have not taking a dime from another soul to pay for it. The car was fully paid for prior to departing the dealership. Our other car is 12 years old and is a Ford.

Now you also seem to want to discuss her hard earned retirement plan and the little jabs about her retirement as it may go away. I know you realise there is a better chance for your military retirement to vaporise first. Since in Federal Civil Service, Employees in the Civil Service Retirement System pay 9% of their pay into their retirement system, and it is a stand along program not linked into any other budget programs. The active duty military certainly earned their retirement through trial and tribulation. As you know, I have been there. But we did not pay directly a part of our pay into our retirement. In fact when I converted my militarty time over so it would count toward my Civil Service Retirement, I had to pay back to the Governmet from 7 to 9% of everything I earned while in the military to include interest from the time it was earned.

I try to stay out of a vast majority of all these political debates a select group of you choose to pat each on the back about, but I do not like it when you choose to slander me by your post in this area.
