Colin,

We are having trouble with the DVD optic drive again (3rd time it will need to be sent back since April '06) in our 360...Rumor has it that the Elite has the same problems.  Check out the 360 forums before you buy.

Rich, there is a disparity amoung suthern girls.  It is easy to tell if you will be met by a top grade Southern Belle, or if you are facing off with the queen of the trailer park.  Just smile, when they smile back, Teeth=Southern Belle, no teeth=Trailer Queen.

BTW, sent you a email about a group with Fire Photos in NJ.

Thanks Dennnis, could you re-send that?  I did'nt get it this time...??? E-mail is kinda wacky...

 Hey all, the following is a short message from my youngest brother.  I was hoping you all could say a little sumthin' for him whilest he's doing his thing in Afghanistan.  It is short term considering..but a little extra help never hurts!! Thanks!

I deploy to Afghanistan this week - with a return expected next February.

Please pray for not only my safety, but also the safety of the 70
international NATO soldiers working for me. I want all of my men to return
alive and healthy by the time our tour is up. I do not wish to lose anyone
under my care / responsibility.

Also pray that I and the other Christians will be a good witness.

Finally - pray that we do our job so well - that we directly contribute to
the defeat of the Taleban. We need wisdom, discernment, and knowledge to
predict what the enemy will do, where he will operate.

Please also pray for our families we leave at home - for their safety and
comfort. We will be gone during Christmas, New Years, special events with
our children and many other important dates - such as my (and Rebbie's) 20th
wedding anniversary!

love, Douglas

Kpolak,

I already have an XBOX360. I have the good one with the wireless controller, the hard drive, all those electronic features. I think I might go with the TV, or I think I'm going to get the 120GB Hard Drive.

Hot in St. Louis today + high humidity!  Getting ready for a couple days off fishing, leaving tomorrow.  Got a new coupler from Lionel in the mail for my LL 0-6-0 today, which was pretty fast service!  Also got my new CTT - looks great!  No nuke popcorn tonight, John.  But, I've got a big bag of Chex Mix, the kind with honey roasted peanuts.

RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.

OK... I've been put up to this by Susan... she has been insisting that I do this for a few days now.... ever since she saw Buckeye's avatar...



She thinks Buckeye looks like the fella in the front row, center...

She also said she hopes our son, if we have one, is as cute as Buckeye in the pic (she hasn't seen a pic of him today, so we'll keep her in the dark!)  LOL!  Laugh [(-D]

.....

So while searching for an appropriate picture of the Lil' Rascals, I found this... took me a few minutes to stop laughing... if you haven't seen this it is a famous pic that has been circulating the net for a few years... rumor has it this is a family from Michigan...

We're going to my friend's cabin at Lake Matton (sp?) near Neoga IL.  Going Thursday night and then coming back Sunday morning.  He thinks it has been too hot and the fishing won't be very good, but his Father-in-Law goes out to the cabin a couple times a week to check on things and he says the lake is up to the top of the dock, so we might be able to get some croppy where a stream comes into the lake - if the lake is muddy, the croppy go to this one spot with clear water.  Hope to have a fish fry after we come back, so I hope we have some luck anyway!
