I'm not sure it's working Lady. This has been a very frustrating day with FR being down and going all wobbly on us.

[WVNan]

Hello Graewoulf. Long time since I've seen you. Another wolf is always welcome here.

Hi LadyX!

.45MAN isn't up to being online tonight, so I'm answering for him.

He was stationed at Elmendorf near Anchorage 1963-5. As far as the big earthquake, it scared the "bejeebers" out of all of them. He recounts of how about a year later he was walking down a street in Anchorage after much of the damage was repaired. All of a sudden, the street rose up in front of him and rippled towards him like a wave (one of many, many aftershocks). He had spent most of the night at a bar, but said that experience really sobered him up in a hurry! LOL!

The U-2 story sure was frightening. .45MAN said that most of that activity was out of Eielson and not Elmendorf, so he's not as familiar with it.

He loves to recall going horseback riding during one of the endless winter "nights." .45MAN says that there are no words to describe the complete silence and solitude. It sounds wonderful.....

Thank-you for sharing your experiences with us! Someday, we definitely need a face-to-face!

I hope you have a great time. Be safe and report in frequently. Make sure to have an incredible time and do not let the worries of the world ruin your vacation.

I just hate that I keep missing you!

I've been working hard on my next "project." Hope you like it!

[dansangel]

I'm so glad for you....yippeee!

Hope you'll visit with us this weekend!

Bless your heart! :-)

If I could do that, I wouldn't be ***me***! LOL!

[WVNan]

Looks as if we might be back on line, if somewhat slow.

I want to quickly say congratulations to Petuniasevan before FR crashes again. We hope you come back often Petunia

Hi. I've finally found time to reply like you keep telling me to do. I really like your astronomy pix and messages. By reading your posts, you seem to know not only about astronomy, but other sciences as well. A lot more than I know. I have a normal size chemistry text and a HUGE biology text: It makes "WAR AND PEACE" look like "PAT THE BUNNY". I'm not much of a reader, especially books like that, but I should try. I can't wing it, like I could in English class last year. I'm doing poorly at trig, but I must get at least a C in it to take physics. Ps. This is NOT an ultra-left wing university like some, but a few professors are lefties.

I think the "technical difficulties" have chased everyone away :-(

Well, nearly everyone...I was lucky enough to run into Mixer! :-)

[WVNan]

Have fun angel.

[daisyscarlett]

Strange things are happening, aren't they. Freepmail is a bit messed up too...Aw well, tomorrow is yet another day...

[dansangel]

Hi {{{{{{{{{Nan}}}}}}}}}}

Thank-you. Anytime away from ***Atlanta*** is a good time, indeed!

[Diver Dave]

What's happening to the thread? It's going all weird on me.

Uhhh, I guess I'm to blame. I defragged my puter and the next thing I know, it's allllll messed up.

My 'puter's running better though. :^)

[WVNan]

Hi graycamel. Glad you dropped by. Petunia hasn't been here since FR came back online. She may be working. Please feel welcome to stay around. Sounds like you are taking some heavy duty courses there. I never had a course in Trig., but I did take Physics and made an A. But it will be a lot easier if you do take the Trig. As for reading, it takes practice. You can develop a love for reading by reading things that interest you. And, when you are reading something "heavy" keep reminding yourself that when you get through it you will know something that 80% of your friends don't know. Just think how inpressive you will be when you converse with others (g). That's advice from a grandma who loves to read.

[WVNan]

You got that right. I hated living in Atlanta. The only good thing that happened there was the conception of my youngest child. He was born in Jackson, Miss., thank God.

[Diver Dave]

Congratulations petuniasevan. Welcome to FR's Finest... Hall of Fame. You are indeed "Out of this world."

[daisyscarlett]

Good evening Libertina. Sounds like you had a busy, yet very rewarding and important, day. I once volunteered in a Spec. Ed. classroom for several months. The teacher was so appreciative of my help and I still think about some of the kids I met there.

Well, things are starting to go in slow motion again, so I'm going to log out for the evening (another long day).

Have a blessed evening!

[WVNan]

ROTFLOL. I knew it had to be your fault Dave. I told everybody who would listen that Diver Dave had probably taken his puter under water to clean it up and Free Republic was water logged. I was right too. It's taken hours for it to dry out.
