I'd be standing outside during engine start
Would you be standing in front of the intake or behind the exhaust during start up?
infront (or to the left/right) of the nose of the aircraft

Well with your aircraft you don't have to worry about being sucked into the jet intake. You just have to worry about the props cutting you up.

I am lucky that I don't need anything but if somebody is shopping for me...a cast iron skillet would be nice to do some blackening. Damn teflon is no good for that!

My TV hasn't died yet, so the 40" Samsung flat screen will have to wait.

Heck, I can cook anything on the grill (I cooked stuffing there on Thursday), but I've got a lot to learn about cast iron!

I agree. We used do cobbler in a dutch oven on campouts all the time when I was in boy scouts.

Your Boy Scout days are showing

My favorite was apple with the bisquick rolls

You DID learn how to cook pizza in a dutch oven, right?

I'm trying to convince a friend of mine that that is the best to cook with.

The skillet, that is.

I get what I want each christmas ....

I get to wake up beside my niece in the morning and we take the first look at her Santa gifts together, then my nephew joins us (at 5.00am

) and we all talk while the parents are sleeping ...

This is her most favourite Christmas memory

- and she has been in a flap how I am going to do it now I live in Sydney - but we have put her mind at rest that I will be there

That's so nice, Jenny.
I know you'll BOTH cherish those memories forever.

If you're able, maybe you could post some Christmas pictures for us. (ME).

You want pics of me in my pj's

It is nice ... she worships the ground I walk on - as I tell my sister (her mother who cannot understand it) "she is only human"

Material? I left my MP3 player on the Qantas plane and it has not been found

so want a new one .... train gets boring without music to work each day - gotta listen to people talking on their phones instead
