Re: Help for some boys in Afghanistan- List of Items pg. 1

Incoming! :-) 8) Several questions: Are the boxes going to opened and repackaged? Or should they be sent ready to go as is? I mean are they going to open all the boxes sent, do an inventory, and re pack the items into individual boxes? Is there a cut off date for sending items in? Can I ask friends...

Re: Marcus Luttrell's (Navy SEAL) dog, murdered by coward punks

Apparently there are more than one donation and petitions sites. This one is different from the one in the earlier link.
This is sponsored by the SPCA. No matter your feelings about the SPCA, they are spot on this.

The same can be said of any book out there about various incidents in them that may not have occured asthey did in the book. No big deal and nothing to detract from it. Try Bat-21 or Richard Marcinko on for size, if that is your gig. Here is an update with various links including one to donate and ...

Marcus Luttrell's (Navy SEAL) dog, murdered by coward punks

I know how I feel about this.... This happened in Texas. For those that don't know who Marcus Luttrell is or who D.A.S.Y. was. Marcus was the sole survivor and his teammates were killed. Marcus is also the author of the book Lone Survivor . Marcus was captured and tortured by the Taliban. His dog wa...

Re: Ethan Hawke ponders Kris Kristofferson in 'Rolling Stone'

There were other people there. Including Kris K. Kris can easily vouch if the situation involved Toby Keith or not. I am not passing judgement on this until it is proven. I have my doubts about the situation that alledgedly went down between Keith and Kristofferson. They are doubts and remain just t...

I am sure he had a choice...RESIGN OR BE FIRED! Hopefully something potentially good will come out of this. I hope he and other officers have hopefully learned a lesson. Not just in Dallas but around the World. I also hope that none of the bad guys will use this in the future as an excuse to target ...

Re: EARTH HOUR 2009

I had a large fire and got rid of a bunch of leaves and some fallen tree limbs. Then I grilled a couple of ribeye steaks and drank beer in honor of it. It seemed like a nice message to send to the heavens and cosmos. The fires were nice to watch. The smells were definitely pleasing. The ribeyes were...

Re: I feel the earth move under my feet...

Earthquakes can happen pretty much anywhere, depending on the fault lines. While more or less forgotten about by most, earthquakes have happened along the East coast and in the "heartland" of America. Take a look at the Mississppi River and what happened in the 1800s. I know of one nuclear...

Do you have any of those silicate bags that come with most electronic devices and other stuff? Save them when ever you get them. Use them along with or instead of rice. The silicate bags can be regenerated by putting them in your oven. No not the microwave, the real oven and drying them out over low...

Re: Pet Peeves

There is nothing wrong with reputable and responsible breeders. People do want to own certain critters such as siamese cats or dobermans, or German or Austrailian shepards, or labs, or other breeds. This is not putting down anyone for doing so. (Granted there are those who do so for a status symbol ...
