Team Flyboy (thunking, shipping, discussion) - Lorne/Mitchell/Sheppard/O'Neill

We'll tire the poor guy out. Ah, well--price of fame and all that!



I can be bribed. New house is a four bedroom, with both a study AND a living room. C'mon down!

Well as soon as I can convince him to come to Orlando, I'll be there.

At least he's the right age for me. Just 6 years younger, according to you, the perfect age.

I remember (vaguely) caroling one night in downtown New Haven with the German Club. We had partaken of some local, on tap anti-freeze first.

seriously its dedication while im alive not one Australian solider will be forgotten

He didn't know what it was when he got on it, so when the ride dropped, he grabbed the leg of the guy next to him, the big hairy sweaty guy.

Can't say as I blame him! Been on a falling elevator once (only two floors, but it was out of control, it was enough). Not as much fun as you might expect...

That IS awesome, Lt. Col. So many people forget the sacrifices their nation's military make for the good of their respective countries. Supporting the military is near and dear to me, with hubby as ex-Air Force and both boys planning to join (Navy & Air Force). Plus, both my dad and my father-in-law served in the Army.

Same here. My dad was Air Force AND Army, my hubby went to New Mexico Military Institute, and his family has a long line of Navy and Army members, including his father, grandfather, great-uncle (who went down in Pearl Harbor), and brother.

He's only 3 1/2 years younger than me. See you soon, I hope!

Well he did say he "does what he's told" when asked to sit somewhere other than next to me, so i apparently have some kind of influence over him so it's not impossible. And see, he's trainable.

Must have a great wife, to make him so trainable.

Well on one of his recent trips to Paris, he brought her back a $2000 pair of boots and a $5000 coat. I'd say they both were great. It's funny what you learn at these meet and greets. I found out he likes to cook, but can't bake for anything. One time he made this fairly expensive dish for dinner (all I remember was that it included shrimp) and his 4 year old ate it all and didn't leave anything for the adults.......

I can cook and bake, just lazy, and I need a recipe to follow for the most part. Only thing that really stumps me EVERY SINGLE TIME is home-made dinner rolls. Not that it's a sore spot or anything. My dad, a cook by trade, could never cook macaroni & cheese from scratch.

They sound like an adorable family. I guess you do learn a lot from the stories they tell in the M&Gs. Maybe if we can get him to Orlando, I'll find out.

Afternoon Flyboy thunkers.

A rather dreary day here today. Rain is good for the rivers and lakes though... Pollyanna spin

We could use a bit of rain here. Had some last week-end but not nearly enough. Retention ponds are down by about five feet on average and the foliage is like un-struck matches. One good lightning strike and Florida will be on fire again.

[bailey1ak]

Sounds like you could really use our rain! We didn't have much of a winter and hardly any snow, so the water is good to get, just makes it kind of could and Winnie-the-Pooh-ish.
