I am traveling and away from the computer so much I am often out of touch until I get to another family member.

Freepmail me an address and a few $ will be on the way to help with the postage.

I can check tomorrow for a message.

I sent a Finding Nemo valentine in your name. Thanks so much for everything!

Racing car Valentine being sent in your name. THANKS!

[patriciaruth]

I'm sending a Spiderman valentine in your name to a soldier, as he was an average guy who joined the forces for good. Glad to know anyone who is for freedom!

Where do you reside?

[patriciaruth]

Can I send a Valentine out in your name? We have Lord of the Rings, Spiderman, NASCAR, racing cars and Finding Nemo. Or you can compose a personal message to be printed on Valentine stationery.

Cheers!
Patty

I'd be honored if you'd send a Lord of the Rings Valentine Greeting out to our Troops on my behalf for the LOVE of JUSTICE they are bringing to many thru their own selfless actions.

GOD Bless.

Sending you a FReepmail, patriciaruth. Thanks for the ping and glad you are feeling better.

[patriciaruth]

For you I chose the one that has the king charging on horseback with the message "Lead the way--to a Happy Valentine's Day"

[patriciaruth]

Much of the photography I have seen of China, like about the pandas and Three Gorges dam and the Great Wall, have shown an absolutely gorgeous country.

Does your FReeper name have any special meaning?

[patriciaruth]

Thanks for the Valentine message to a soldier in Baghdad!

I've copied it to my printer program.

As Lt. Col. HAL G. MOORE kept telling his hero Soldiers over and over again at the Battle in the Valley of Death that was the IA DRANG of 1965:

"That's just OUTSTANDING"
