Wow thats really cool that you spend all that family time together OT!
We had 7 kids in our family too.
I don't have any children and won't have any of my own. My wife has 2 (grown) though and her daughter is pregnant due in late April/May. I'm gonna be a Grandpa without the hassle of having my own! I do feel I missed out though sometimes. Shes having a boy!

Gosh, thanks Kitch! I'm humbled. And this coming from someone who actually knows some of them. And that said, you can probably imagine what a blast we have. ;)
Not me! I'm retired, remember? I'll leave that to Carrie. :)  Did you know that Carrie is my very best friend's daughter? So now my friend and I are almost related (other than that blood sisters ceremony we performed back in 3rd grade). Her grandbabies are my grandnephews. :)
That was funny, Search. I had her on the cell phone and she wasn't sure if they were at the right place. I told her to yell for Search and if she got a response they were at the right place.Â
The best story is from last hunt at Como. Clue 12. I had been posting at the PP board then, wasn't here then, and didn't know anyone personally. FB was part of that too. While waiting for me to call them for the clue they heard someone yelling for Oldtimer. It was FB. My son was standing right by her and told her that was his mom.Â
I would post the clues at the PP board and people on the board really got to rely on that. It was a lot of pressure! My kids wanted to make up t-shirts saying "I Know Oldtimer". lol
Yeah it is crazy... I am glad I only occassionally go outside the wire, they are trying to get me out once a week, but these guys do it everyday... You are right. Amazing.
(gulp) Sorry to hear about the two soldiers yesterday. So sad! We will send up prayers for their families.
Kinda makes a nice, quiet gal like me want to kick some terrorist a**!!!
Well, since I can't, I'm glad that there are those who can! It is much appreciated by those of us back home. You may never know how much we all appreciate what you are doing over there, and how proud we are of you! And how much we love you!!!
Good memories. OT, your the best! I also literally bumped into my x-boyfriend out there who I never, ever wanted to see again, especially with a shovel in my hands... heheÂ

Come on over... It is a nice tropical paradise, without all of the greenery! Sit back, relax, get a tan... duck and cover... and blow away all of the insurgents that you see!
I have to try and write a travel brochure for here... we've been talking about it for a lil while...
A travel brochure...That would be so funny! You could have photos of the "beautiful" orange-colored sky during a sandstorm, talk about the "excitement" of traveling from the airport to downtown B-dad, etc.
Too bad I don't tan, or I might take you up on the offer! Well, not really. ;-) I'm just glad there are people over there with guns who are on our side!
Grrr... Our internet is reeeeeaaaalllllyyy slllooowwww right now...
mine is changing windows too fast for once and I figured out how to make it work fast... try painting your nails and be in the forum at the same time...when you try to paint a nail the window opens too fast so you can hardly get a nail done between each click. ooooh, and for the guys who wanted to know this...they are a
succulant glossy pink color . I have been growing my fingernails long lately. Meow!
Kitch/THX... I haven't been able to get the gmail thingy to work... I don't know what the deal is, but it tries to load the page, but it just stops and doesn't complete anything... hmmmm... weird...
I still have 1 more to try, and I will try using IE instead of Firefox (grrrrr....) Hopefully that will do the trick, or I am all out of ideas...

OT...just about anyplace would love your family....
I can just imagine......
MrMikey a grandpa? Congratulations! Don't feel deprived. Just grandfather that grandbaby.  It's a lot of fun and less stress. :)

OT..you should run for city council....
your family is more of a backbone in ssp then you might realize....
I waved at one of OT's daughters in the freezing cold once.

LOL... She says... " I have my mom on the phone" I was rolling.... we were 10 feet from the spot.
