Still round the corner there may wait |
Home is behind, the world ahead, |
Yep.
IF we actually finish the painting job quickly, and IF I can get a TON of stuff hauled out of the basement and to the dump or wherever it goes by early next week...I may be contacting a realtor in not much more than a week...see what they estimate. *swallows hard*
Go Rosie! Go Rosie! Woo-hoo!
I'm virtually waving cheerleader pom-poms for you here...
Hehe, ya know, I didn't even think about googling for that.
*smiles*
I wouldn't get far without my friends!
Wow, things are really happening. I guess getting the pups situated really got the ball rolling!
keep a fan or two handy for ventilation. Good job!
That's what we're here for!
Goodness, girl, thing go this fast I might see you before the snow melts!
I'm just hopin' the house doesn't end up on the market for month after month after month.
So...I can still use a ton of prayer!
The fan is a good idea!
OK, they're closin' this place on account of the weather is getting scary...so I'll meet ya on the other side, so to speak. Heading home!
Oh yeah - if you've got a working scale, don't pitch that. Mine is so stupid, it reads between 7 and 12 pounds over. I have to look at it carefully before even using it, and I'm sure you can guess how depressing even 7 imaginary pounds can be.
Mine works.
Doesn't say what I want it to...but it works. ;-)
*snif*
It was a good thread...
Will do!
Oh, come on, it's not dead yet...
Rosie, home safely yet?
I'm going to try to make it home. Use the gray suit, please...
Here's a photo of the knife, alongside the Hobbit Hole folder. It's a $110 list price that I got for $27 each. Unfortunately, I could only get 17 of them.
The picture shows one before laser-engraving the Hobbit Hole url on it (it comes out as a light gray against the black epoxy), and before the two hours I spend filing square notches in the handle to match those already on the tang. It increases grip confidence greatly, and sold me on this knife.
Even if we can get more of these knives, we have to be very selectinve in giving them out. It's inappropriate (and looks foolish) for anyone other than a line infantryman to have a knife like this. We're glad to give away the HH pocket knife to any GI who asks. But the sheath knife has to be reserved for those who really need one.
HEY!!
Sorry it's been so long, we've been busy. It's just about that time to redeploy...thank god...it's been crazy...I got shot again...and all this other crazy shit has been happening...so hoepfully things will start slowing down....
anywho, I just want to say thank you for supporting me this whole time, if you wouldn't mind email me your phone number, and I will try to give you a call and thank you so you can acctually hear me, I feel a bad that I haven't written to you guys a whole lot since you've been sending me things, and writing emails, I tried to respond to a lot of them, but the way my shifts work...it just couldn't come to be, but I am truly sorry that I didn't show my thanks sooner....anywho, I'm gonna go get a new bandage...you have a good day Tim.
newly promoted Sergeant Scott XXXXXX
Hi everyone! Well, I dunnit. I've set up shop on eBay and Imagunna sell my Star Wars stuff...so if you know of anyone who is collecting Star Wars, primarily books, comics, some figures, plates and an odd assortment, then check out dale*esgaroth in the next few days/weeks. It doesnt look like Star Wars stuff is moving much at this time, despite all the hoopla George is trying to gin up. Seems the only one excited are the little kiddos. No one even seems to be interested in the vintage stuff anymore. I should probably wait until the movie comes out, but I really cant afford to.
Collectings a big racket anyway.
*stewing in a sour SW mood*
Ask your friend for Sgt Scott's APO. He can be the first recipient of our HH "utility knife", with a HH folding knife in the accessory pouch.
I've asked for the APO address. I have Scott's e-mail already, through sloppy COMSEC.
I wish the sun would come out. I think I'm coming down with rickets.
That stays in your stomach all day long.
