Doll, you about gave ~me~ a heart attack with that post!
Ping to post 3,217!!!
I'm so happy! They haven't done it in so long I thought for sure that they'd either forgot about me or had rotated new folks through or something. But I guess not! This started in May of '03! God bless em, they made my day.
I gotta get off line, 'fore Steve gets home. I'll check in later during his nap.
just kiddin'

WOW! I sneak in here while I'm here working and see that post! Congrats, 2J! :-D
Better go before one of the bosses sees me on here. Be back later when I am safe at home!
How'd you know it was henna? Just assumed I wasn't that adventurous?
I have actually been kinda considering getting one... somewhere it wouldn't be seen... but so far I've decided against it.
When you get back, show Clare the photo I posted of the tat - she'll get a kick out of it.
It was a way cool con, for being so small.
Bah. Someday I'll do something really outrageous and then you'll all see!
Ah... with more caffeine and some really gentle instrumental music (yay Fruits Basket!) I'm losing my headache. Good, because I really have to get coding this afternoon...
Sure. The boy scouts have a radio merit badge. Part of earning it, is getting a ham radio license. I don't know if the cub scouts have a similar badge or not.
Either way, your boys seem inquisative enough to enjoy the expirimentation aspects of it.
I have been doing this for over three years now and they've been circling over a year. The only reason I haven't written them before now was because I didn't want them to get in trouble if they weren't "supposed" to be circling my house. I decided that I will risk it and say that I am delighted that they acknowledged my enthusiasm...that way I don't say too much and they can figure out what to say if it gets them in trouble.
I'll also say how proud I am of them every time they fly over and how safe they make me feel and how grateful I am for their service.
I'll post the letter when I get it written...have to dwell on it a bit but I'm inspired.
Any suggestions?
Hmmm...may be! Matthew's not doing scouts this year, he's a year ahead anyways and he's gonna take this year off to wait for his dad to finish school so he can do it with him next year. It really is Steve's thing.
Find out how many Hobbit Hole knives they want.
Ohh....wouldn't that be a wonderful thing??
I barely hope to dream.
Big mushrooms:
And check this tree out.... Looks like it was knocked crooked when it was young and has spent the rest of it's life trying to get straight.
Cool pics, Hair!
I like Gidget's expression in the mushroom pic....
"Is it edible?"
Are you home now? I can't believe you had to work today!
Wow...I know this place! I love your little homestead.
Hey Bear...when did the second helicopter fly over? It was around the time I'd hurt my eye, because I remember trying to see them and couldn't focus.
I'm writing a synopsis of what has happened since 9/11/01 and what led to all this running around and waving.
