Wouldn't that be yummy over ice cream, or on Steve's pancakes?
Yes indeed!
We've got about a 1/2 a bushel left...I'll probably try to make more jam, since I figured out what I was doing wrong. The last batch was perfect.
What a perfectly awesome smackdown!! I hope that maroon feels suitably chastised, but something tells me he won't.
You are hooked up at home??? Awesome!
Thanks for the encouragement...I wish you were going too. Next year, RSVP, right? :)
Oh, BTW, I found out that RSVP finishes in Vancouver the day of the "Festival of Lights" fireworks competition. Is that cool or what?
I just noticed Howl's Moving Castle is playing here in town... How did I miss that? Know what I am doing tonight now...
NOOOOOO!!!!
My sisters have seen it. My friends have seen it. It's not playing closer than Denver. I hates you...
Be sure to give us a review.
Be careful! You go the triple 6!
Speaking of numbers we must be about ready for a new thread around here...
Hate to tell him, but Tom Cruise was the wannabe who played it in a movie.... The ones he saw are actually the real guys the movies are made of ;~D
2J... the Blackfive link you gave links to the original letter, too.
I was gonna wait till after the 'thon to start a new thread, just to avoid having the 'thon ad in Post 1 for the duration of the thread. Guess it doesn't really matter.
Has everyone in here donated? The 'thon is going' slow, we gotta keep the lights on in the HH!
I think we should hit JimRob for a Hobbit Hole button on the home page like the other dailies have. :)
Especially since the Guild has gone out of business.... we could have their button!
I wonder how to ask? Let me think ;~D
Yes, that would be better ;~D
Let's wait... can't be more than a week or so more, right? They usually add in the pledges around 50% and then everything goes yellow.
There's literally a dozen emails, but here's the latest, from the LT who received the Gerber. He also contributed to the Hobbit Hole project, already.

This is 1LT Craig W. I just received the knife today....WOW!!! Those are about the only words I can use to describe this thing. I have a flight tomorrow morning that I will have some time to play with this while we're in the woods. I will definitely give you some feedback!!! Already I am amazed that you folks are giving this quality of equipment away. I know word has spread like wildfire about these knives that the 4 of us have received. I hope we don't overwhelm your resources. I am planning to get some folks to donate to the cause, and I don't think they will mind the least bit. Again, thank you very much. It's a good feeling to know that we have people like you supporting us on the homefront. I will be sending you reviews as I get to use this knife!!!!
Thanks winmag!
It never ceases to amaze me how they can be so grateful to us when it is ~us~ that are so grateful to them.
My tagline says it all...
"Corin"The knife came in today and it is just beautiful, pretty technical, too, with all the straps and attachments. I was glad that I had looked at the website so I recognized the harness/shroud line cutter. (I would hate to be an ignorant mom.) I have copied the website with the picture of the knife and harness cutter to send to K. When I spoke to him on Tuesday, he had just gotten the letter telling him about your organization and the knife. He was very uplifted to know that you were supporting him.
I will keep J in my prayers, and I guess I should pray that you can successfully maneuver a ladder without any help, too.
Many blessings and thanks again for all the support for K,
"K's Mom"
