    It's fun now to talk about the things they didn't know We did. I do it all the time when my Bro and I get together over a few bottles of wine with the folks. Dad laughs and mom smiles sometimes...

    We have alot of "the rest of the story" chats at Holidays...

    :lol:
    Edit, We finally came clean about the bullet hole in the ceiling that we tried to patch at Thanksgiving... Since we were all on Truth Srum, Dad asked about it. We told him.

    I think there were over 300 people in their house that night long ago :eek:

    Replaced my water heater today.

    I hate plumbing.
    No leaks in my sweat joints and I have hot water now.

    It wasn't broke yet but was on it's way... I like plumbing when it's voluntary I suppose

    Dont forget our Grandfathers. I found out about a time my granddad and his girlfriend at the time were driveing along with another couple (all in their teens) and everyone got so 'distracted' by their partners they all thought someone else was driveing untill they had taken out about 100 yards of fence. :eek: :shock: :D

    Yep. It's not just younger. Some of our fathers and Gfathers have stories too. My mother tells a story of having to hide pen beers in her skirt while on base at Fort Knox after being pulled over by MPs. IIRC, my father and a few friends werer running a salom course through a bunch of parked tanks :eek:

    he was on leave at the time...

    Are we big enough to warrant a separate forum? Maybe in the future, dunno. How many of us served?

    I didn't serve - I was going to college and #6 on the draft lottery when Nixon stopped the draft in '73. I went on to an illustrious but short carrer as a gas station attendant, then a tire store guy before joining the utility I've been with for 26 years. :)

    I hope that during this chilly season:
    That you're enjoying the peace and serenity that the season provides;
    That you're able to snuggle-up with your favorite everything (book, beverage, person);
    And that you and yours are blessed with warmth that comes from the heart.

    Mags? E.L?


    My friend Molly just PM'd me this... :lol: [ROFL]

    "Texas, Our Texas"

    Texas, Our Texas! all hail the mighty State!
    Texas, Our Texas! so wonderful so great!
    Boldest and grandest, withstanding ev'ry test
    O Empire wide and glorious, you stand supremely blest.
    (chorus)

    Texas, O Texas! your freeborn single star,
    Sends out its radiance to nations near and far,
    Emblem of Freedom! it set our hearts aglow,
    With thoughts of San Jacinto and glorious Alamo.
    (chorus)

    Texas, dear Texas! from tyrant grip now free,
    Shines forth in splendor, your star of destiny!
    Mother of heroes, we come your children true,
    Proclaiming our allegiance, our faith, our love for you.

    Chorus

    God bless you Texas! And keep you brave and strong,
    That you may grow in power and worth, throughout the ages long.
    God bless you Texas! And keep you brave and strong,
    That you may grow in power and worth, throughout the ages long.

    I know that I'm not the only one to have thought about this, but I'm continually amazed that a group of people from around the country (including Hawaii) have come together with a basic shared interest, but without regard for race, creed, color, or national origin (except the French comments :lol: ) and have managed to forge close friendships and a true sense of community. Although most of us have never faced one other across a table, the visuals and physical attributes are so unimportant to us all that they cease to enter our minds. Our opinions may differ, our politics may differ, our experiences may differ, our life styles may differ, and still, we have been able to discuss some pretty important issues, enlighten one another, share some laughs, make joint decisions, and enjoy the successes and happiness of each other. We are all truly fortunate to live in an age when global villages such as this can exist.
