She was a Grand Lady, My Grandmother. Used to hide Hershey Bars around the house when I was a child, so I would stick around hunting for them. She was a Southern Baptist Texan, dyed in the wool. Fried everything and was a sheer delight to know. Her claim to fame, however, was her Chocolate...

I've never been much of a drinker. Yet, while working at JSC in Houston, we'd often go to Merida's Restaurant after evening testing, for dinner. It was there that I first had a margarita. It was fantastic! Then, later, I had a margarita somewhere else, thinking they'd taste the same. WRONG...

Homemade AppleJack in Nam. Don't remind me. LOL

I used to smoke Pall Mall reds a long time ago. Their taste doesn't come close to a Faros. Maybe it's the fact that I'm not smoking wood pulp with it. My wrapper is rice paper.

While all the reasons give have applicability, you should run your own short test. Take two nonfiltered cigarettes. Tap one down tight, leaving the other "as is" out of the pack. Light both and put them in an ashtray. The untapped cigarette will burn out faster than the tapped one...

Last time I was in the US, I was surprised that you no longer sell unfiltered cigarettes. At least, two days of hunting left me empty handed. Here in Mexico, they have a brand called "Faros." They come filtered and unfiltered. The unfiltered has a great taste and a bit of a kick if you've...

I just finished watching "The Hurt Locker." What a joke! I found comments online from other EOD personnel who were in Iraq and they also said it was a joke. Waste of time, people. If you HAVE to see it, watch it online for free. It won't hurt so much then.

Hey, jaymag, We gottem out numbered, there's TWO of us! LOL We went through 6 "Sirs" in Bong Son. The last one left our Plt Sgt, Savage, in charge til he thought the new "brown bar" was ready. This guy, we protected. As you know, we had both good and bad officers. It was the good ones...

Blackthorn, We hear that all the time but it just doesn't sink in. While some might think we did it for Democracy, Mother Pie and the Flag, it wasn't that at all. Some here know what I mean. It was about sharing totally and protecting each other. It was "do whatever you have to do to...

Nope, Boodles. 7th U.S. Cavalry. A wonderous history, not only Little Big Horn. Our claim to fame is LX X-ray, Ia Drang Valley, RVN. You can see and listen to the major players here: Part 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0l6mDDeUcg Part 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYJxSOaf3eo...

Being retired, I have a varied lifestyle. And I dress mainly for the ocassion. I have a Tux for important affairs, biker attire for when I take the Harley out, military-style stuff for when I attend my Nam reunions and have never had the instance to cross-dress them. Most think the biker...

Yes, The size photo you post is the size you've see. I suddenly noticed that there's an option within my phone to take "email sized" photos which is the size we need. I've now got that option activated so I don't have any more 5M pixs! LOL When I first took the shots and transfered them...

I thought I was mostly English until I started nosing around in the woodpile. LOL I wanna thank you guys again for the assist with the hat. I was afraid I'd totally screw the thing up but you put my mind at rest and I got pretty much what I was after. A little education goes a long way...

Boodles, I took the pixs above with my Nokia e71 smartphone. They were too big so I ran them through Irfanview, a free program you can download online. Just resized them to the size I wanted. That took care of the size idea. Then, as the guys said, uploaded them to one of my sites and...

Thanks, Dean, I had looked but evidently didn't catch that piece of the FAQs. Here are a couple of pixs I took with my phone in the house. I need to use a good camera and have a shot taken outside. I lowered the front of the brim, using water spray and air dry. Then, I moistened the...
