Excellent story, thank you :~D
Thanks for that info! What an honor for that young Marine!
And what a bless for us that young American men, in this sad and sorry Politically Correct age, will still do such things on our behalf.
That's a great pic.
Hey, have you seen that copper bracelet of mine?
I think it's already too late. The reality is that, as difficult as it can be, we know that's where we belong. I told some of the guys in the cast that, as long as we're gonna be miserable, I wouldn't wanna be miserable with anyone else (in RL anyway).
But glad you enjoyed it.
Yeah, I figured that would be the case. If every year is as well produced, it would be fun to do!
yeah... I hocked it fer a quick $20...
wow... I am humbled... Semper Fi!...
My cousin and his fiancee and her two kids came over.
The wee girl has a particularly beautiful hairdo that they tried out to see if it would work for the wedding. I think it's vey cute.
Cuties
Not yet. Alas. Not yet.
oh my! They are indeed!
(Ya know, I keep expecting you to make a guest appearance on Nanny 911 one of these days - being the expert on taking care of children tha tyou are...)
Three cuties! You've got a beautiful family g'nad.
Evening G'nad - great pic of thegirl, theboy and thenewboy.
Thanks very much for posting it.
Hmm, good circumference on the main beams, four points per side, yup, they are keepers, each one. OB & LSA
Evening Rose, excellent write up you have there. (Even though I don't understand any of the terms except Excell)
Good luck on the interview.
Congrats to you two, doesn't seem like two years. We enjoyed the link to the original postings, brought back good memories. May you have many more anniversaries.
Lots of good lookin' young 'uns in the Hobbit Hole.
That's a very cute picture of the nadlings :~D

First let me thank you and all your Hobbit Hole Elves who have helped, and have continued to help, Marines and Soldiers with your much needed time and effort. It it somewhat sad that it takes American Citizens to come to the aid of it's service members with items that should have been purchased, issued and disseminated by the military. Thank you.
Secondly, I have to appologize for the miscommunication or misunderstanding. Somewhere between our e-mail correspondence the number of knives requested somehow got misconstrued. I appologize for any mass confusion but I simply was requesting a knife for myself (Gerber). Or any other that would not be so costly to your organization. I don't know how my request got to be more than the one knife requested, but I wouldn't dare take away something from someone else. (There is a reason why they give grunt Marines a rifle and not a computer, Jarheads got to stick to what we do so well!)
No doubt the error is on my part and it's to be expected considering I don't use computers very much. I know that you probably receive hundreds of requests for knives that you would like and do fill, so please... disregard what has been misconstrued and I am only requesting one knife. And if the cost for shipping is an issue, please let me know and I can pay for the item myself. I know that everything you donate is from contributions and there is no money make on the part of your organization. Again, thank you for your time, patience, honesty, and support.

His honesty was rewarded with the last Gerber I currently have on hand, mailed to him today.
