    I'm not going to even dignify that with a response, although I must admit that a couple of times it was like the tunnel scene in "The Blues Brothers" though....

    You had better buy all the toys you are ever going to want NOW. It gets even worse after you have children.

    Speaking of Black Edelweiss, I just saw someone reading that book on the bus a few weeks ago-it did look like a good book to read.

    Forgot to mention that I got: a new jacket, a couple of new shirts, a new way online thanks to Father Time ;-)) and best of all, I got to spend the day with a few friends I have not seen in over two years, got some great-tasting fudge (will make me gain a few unwanted pounds) 12 classic Cagney, Bogie and Edw G. Robinson Gangster Classics in 2 box sets called: Warner Gangser Classics vols 1-2--I have 3 and still need Nr 4. Also, I got to see my brand new Great Niece-for the first time ;-)) Also, a few quality days away from ULTRA LOONEY Austin.

    It gets even more amazing, we figured the missing package for his mother would get here monday the 27th or tuesday the 28th because all the others arrived on the 24th. Yesterday, the 29th was her birthday and the missing package arrived (Karma?), it couldn't have been planned better. It was a small glass cube thing with etching on the inside that said, "I love you Mom". It sits on a little base that lights up the engraving inside. She says it's her best birthday present ever.

    well a few more things have been added to that list. i got some clothes, perfume, scented candles, pajamas, nice soaps, Jewelery, and a best buy gift card.

    oh and a ripley's believe it or not book... strange, I know.

    (Christmas came somewhat late at my house. The family was finally able to all get together.)

    The greatest treat was seeing my 10 month old nephew. He has just been recently adopted by my brother and his wife. i got to say he's the cutest litle guy I have ever seen. He fits perfectly into our little family. Christmas was really special this year with this little bundle of joy.

    Part Two, I went to Barnes and Nobles again and pick up more books:

    Inside Hitler's Bunker-Joachim Fest
    Inside the 3rd Reich-Albert Speer
    Mein Kampf-Adolf Hitler

    Also snagged the newest copies of Vietnam and Military History(Rommel's on the cover) magazines.

    I've always wanted to read Mein Kampf. I searched for it in the School Library without luck. They probably wouldn't want to carry it because its a book by a Nazi...I'll have to search elsewhere. I bet E-Bay has it. lol, they have everything!

    It's an awful read. Boring and nonsensical in many places. If you are determined o read it, check the sites listed here for the best price, or check a library other than a school library (like a college or community library. They should be able to get a copy for you). Mein Kampf: My Struggle - Google Books

    Thats what you can take as an essence of his book and his speaches. He was also known for long lasting monologues. He was a believer of his own lies.

    Several members have asked me if I've heard from the son in Afghanistan lately. I got a call yesterday for an unheard of 15 minutes. I also got a reply to an e-mail this morning. It was short but kinda' neat. His name is Jeffery Ryan, when he was a little boy we often called him "Rhino". I got a 5 minute call at work one day right after the first of the year. He told us one thing he really would like is some homemade "Chex Mix". My wife got right on it and we sent him two boxes with health and comfort items. I sent him an e-mail letting him know we'd sent it, and thought it would be neat to send it in "comm" speak.
    Here's the original e-mail and his reply.

    Stand by to copy 1 priority message...

    He must be hanging out with the Mortar Section and losing at spades.

    Actually, he didn't smoke when he left. He did dip. Apparently, anything they have available to purchase is really stale, so much so he quit dipping. I think the Menthol masks the staleness of the cigarettes. But then again your scenario makes sense also.:)
