Thanks for sharing that Bendy.

[danamco]

Danamco!

When we started our business after got married in 1983 I was Danish and wife an American we named our business Dan-Am Enterprises, Inc. It was a long name for internet use so we shortened it to DANAMCO or Danamcorp. We got many requests if we were associated with Pan-Am. etc.

When I finally became an American citizen, my mother-in-law asked if we were renaming our company to: AM-AM Enterprises, LOL

Contact JimRob about your old name.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks...he needs all the prayers we can give him.

[xrmusn]

Thanks..

BTW....They are signal flags, not part of the Navy RM bag of ‘need to knows’.

BUT my crypto helped as by checking the # of flags (and having an idea of what the message was) and matching flags, I was able to decipher it.

Your Welcome....My pleasure....

[Kathy in Alaska]

Wonderful pictures, Bender....thanks for sharing.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Cool place. Glad your enjoyed.

Did I remember the drums, or should it have been guitar? It was late and my brain was tired. d:o)

[Rastus]

I used to hang out on mIRC, and I wanted to use the name “Raistlin,” after the Dragonlance character. It was taken, so “Rastus” popped into my head and I used that. I didn’t know at the time that it’s the name of the Cream of Wheat guy and has some racial connotations. It’s probably because of that that I get few responses to my posts. Or maybe it’s just because my posts are dumb.

[HiJinx]

Dad and I both got tagged with ‘Jinx’ in the Army (he started in Army Air Corps), it is a short form of our last name. So...Hi, Jinx!

[Kathy in Alaska]

w h !!

Thanks, unique!

Luv.....#400!!

[MayflowerMadam]

When I was little, my mom used to sing that nursery rhyme song to me. Funny how you remember things like that. (Her nickname always has been “Polly”.)

[HiJinx]

Interesting. My G-pa was named Joseph Erastus Jinx. He farmed 640 acres in Mississippi. Racial connotations? Not back then, around the turn of the century (20th).

[Rastus]

If you type the word Rastus, the first thing that comes up says it’s considered a pejorative term. Maybe the E makes it okay? Or, maybe it’s just typical PC sensitivity.
