On this day 1967, over at the airbase in Da Nang watching big airliners leaving, wishin' I was on them...listening to Janice and Jimmie on the transistor...lookin' at our AF light up Monkey Mountain at night...tradin' jokes and items we got from the Womens Clubs around Armerica (one town in Iowa I can't remember but will never forget the items sent: popcorn, corn cakes, hams and bunches of small gifts, like cigarette lighters wrapped in knitted casings. We traded a lot with the "Johnny Jarheads" who were our security force...they kept us "squids" safe. I never saw Harm's Way, just heard a lot about it...I left in early Dec. never to return...anybody else remember '67?

Nan and Mr. WV
Thanks for the update. Mr WV .... your story about your 93 year old uncle is precious. Having lost my 89 year old mother this past year, I can definetly relate. LOL
You are both still in my prayers. As is your uncle.

Goodmorning JL. As you surf the net today, if you come across a graphic with the "----days till Christmas" message on it, will you share? Thanks.

Looks like the Organ Mountains outside of Las Cruces where I went to school for a year (NMSU).

To Jack: Thank you so much for a very uplifting post this a.m. Really started our day off great here on the Finest Thread. Can see why you and Nan are such a good match. Best wishes to you and Uncle John for a complete recovery..

[WVNan]

Yayyyyyy Pip!!! You have new digs. Now comes the hard part...packing and moving. I hope you will be happy in your new place. Thank you for the prayers and good wishes. Yeah, it's great to have him home.

[WVNan]

Thank you for the prayers and good wishes.

[Billie]

Me?

I guess so! First, maybe? LOL!

[WVNan]

You bet he inherited the spunk. All the men in his family were, shall we say, colorful? I guess you could call them "real" mean. No nonsense tolerated. Thank you for the prayers dutchess. Hey, I was looking as I came through Columbus to see where there might be a fancy restaurant where we girls can meet (after Christmas). Maybe some place in the City Center.

This is a *great* idea! I could do an article like John Huang2's, only instead of being about important national affairs, it would be about the domestic ecology of my home (a cat that opens my refrigerator without asking), my neighborhood (a boyfriend that opens my refrigerator without asking), and my workplace (where a host a Christmas feast from my refrigerator each year). Then there are the *8* gingerbreadhouse making parties between now and December 25th that I'll do.

Ok, it wouldn't be at all like John Huangs2's!! Scratch that idea.

OK, here's my new idea: what if we all had a gingerbread house contest? Everyone put up their favorite idea of a gingerbreadhouse, with words and also if they wished pictures. Have an actual contest with judges for the best Freeper gingerbread house? I would be happy to run the contest and judge.

[daisyscarlett]

Good morning Pip...CONGRATULATIONS on getting your new digs. Now hurry on and get packed and moved so you can join us for all our holiday threads etc...

[WVNan]

Thank you for the prayers Amy. All the prayers have kept us both going. You guys are precious to me.

[Joe Brower]

Good morning! I've got the stereo on, drinkin' some coffee, getting some work done... !

[daisyscarlett]

We lost these seven men from years 1965-1970; ages 21-34; seven different states. May they RIP...
