oh...and as far as what phone card company? I have been using the ATT/WalMart card, just getting it recharged as I need to, I can't answer that one. Thanx again. Today's Arabic Lesson: A-Salaam Walikoom "May God shower you with blessings"!

WOW...Coolchef...that is great...just send them to me at the address posted earlier and I will guarantee their distribution to all the soldiers here...they will be so thankful. You guys/ladies are the best!

Thanks Krysilis...good question! A phone call runs about $0.35- $0.50/minute That's what I'm paying and it depends also where in the country the soldiers are calling from...there are a few different exchanges in country here...but that is the average cost. Thanks from all of us here!

It builds character Wacka-Wacka! It will also make ya sweat a little

Thanks MT...you have me sending me stuff now By the way...it hit 140 today...but it was a pleasant 140 Thanks again...all of you John

There are terrorist everywhere, not just in Baghdad...and they have different names...ACLU, NAMBLA, AL Qaeda...the list goes on. When are we going to stop this tip-toeing around? Never me thinks! My favorite gospel song has always been and still is: This World Is Not My Home

I'll enter the contest when I stop laughing...ROFLMAO

When I see signs like that...well, it just makes me thankful I am a "Recovering Baptist"...LOL Water? Where does it say water?

I wanted to take a moment and express my thanks to all that have been so supportive in the chat room. You're generosity, care, concern & prayers are making this mess tolerable. Some of you have offered to send me care packages, and although I am not destitute, there are things I miss. Camel Filters (real ones with tobacco in them, not the rope, twigs and dust we have to smoke here)... My mailing adress is: John Hatzimichaels, Medic Camp Hope D14 HHC 3/15 Inf BN 2UA 3rd Iinf Div APO AE 09380 Again, your prayers, care and concern mean so much! THANK YOU! AKA Smokey

Hey Paw: As to echo dmiller's sentiments, this has been a "light in the night" for me as well! My only suggestion would be to change the background God Bless all the GS'ers...it's good to be back, even if it is from Iraq!

Emerson Lake & Palmer (Welcome Back My Friends Tour)for $5.86...Now who can beat that? Now, it was 1972!

Hi Folks: A.A. saved my butt...God saved me through Jesus Christ.

I fly 100,000+ miles a year, in & out of the Middle East...The food isn't bad either! I SHALL not allow these people to dictate what I do and don't do...Fear will not rule my life. side note:I have many muslim friends over here(there) and many of them feel the same way. Live your life, trust God, heck...we're His!

$80 for PFAL in 1976...then $0.37 total...maybe it was $0.38...between classes and ABS, thousands is all I can figure

Well Darn...the Gulf of Mexico is no where close to DC, then neither is Dubai [/i]sigh...I am sure there are enough of us around, someone will appear! And NO, you're not "goofy"!

....state

Hey Steve...Only one week left in Dubai for me...maybe we can meet...no wait, I am in a different sate... nevermind...have a safe trip and a great day!

ckeer...very well said!

Hi y?: A few days ago, I was having a smoke and a coffee with a very good friend, a local, here in the UAE, where I work. Imagine us talking about the Iraq issue...what are the chances...anyway, He made quite an interesting comment regarding the US's attempt to institute democracy in a region where it is as foreign as grits and bacon. He shared with me that democracy will NEVER work here, due to the fact that it offers too much freedom...this takes us away from Islam...h'mmm? This may not be an earth shattering revelation...BUT...it made me a little more appreciative and grateful for John 8:32 Have a great day!

Your very own camel from the Middle East is on its way for you Dee-- All the best, John
