looking for a good movie or documentary on the Hurtgen Forest battle
I was absolutely shocked at what Diva Betsy Ross did..shame on her.
So was I.
But then I saw where she went, and put two and two together.
Do you ever hear anything from any of them? People come and go ...
A decade! Where did it go?
It was downsized and outsourced.
I hear tell that you can get a decade for a fiver these days.
Wow.. decade devaluation, who’da thunk it?
I would have almost been able to predict that you would have that turn of phrase for it. LOL. How are you ol’ timer?
Riddle me this oh background knowledge pros...Where is or went Texaggie79?
Texaggie..?
Oh crud..
Uhh..
I don’t remember!
Heck, we hd one guy pass away and we only ‘knew’ it by guesswork.
Westmex to be precise.
I’ve been here 12 years and I have no idea what or who a Hurtgen Forest is!!!
People keep refering to it/her/him but never what or who it is!
It is mentioned above but the poster with the screen name “deep in the Hurtgen Forest” pretended to be a Special Forces guy on deployment many years ago and got a lot of sympathy for situtational distance etc from various Freepers. Sneakypete and others with SF experience began to doubt his bonafides and some conflict occured as some rose to his defense.
He finally admitted to being a poser and gave a goodbye that was part bittersweet apology and part rationalizing. I think he/they got started carrying out the charade and didn’t expect the sincere fellowship getting to him/them.
Sometimes in referencing that whole chain people will refer to “Deep” or “DTHF” to reference that poster and the whole charade.
LOL. How are you ol’ timer?
I'm slowing down a bit in my old age,
but not ready for the boneyard yet.
Thank's for asking! How about you?
Just up to grandkid number six. Getting ready to spend the weekend boating and doing little of real worth. Still have three to five years until I retire but I am looking forward to it.
...whoops, used the wrong word. I said retire and the correct term is “FReep full time”.
Wasn’t he caught getting paid to post here?
He did have some interesting threads going.
I remember Freepers sending him cigars...isn’t that how his whole story started to unwind? I can’t remember.
I do...I do. Do I win a prize? And I remember Quiddam and Ash and A-bert...
I do. Which makes me old...
Yup! Thanks fer the ping, Mr. Lazamataz!
(I miss Don Morgan)
I liked Don Morgan. I wonder what happened to Registered...he used to post some really great graphics.
