Hi all:

Just got back (5 days late) from another camp here...between two mortar attacks and a sandstorm...I finally made it back to my puter...so, sorry for the delay...these terrorists just won't listen to me!

Anyway back to the topic...60 minute cards will be great...again, I spoke with the 1ST Sargent and he will gladly disperse them to all the men here...

Coolchef...please extend my appreciation from all the 3rd Calvary here and from me for their generosity, care and concern.

Now, if the Sadrist (followers of Al Sadr) behave themselves, maybe we'll have peace on earth! ...and I'm the pope!

I've talked to the 1st Sargeant here and I expressed your interest for donating phone cards.

He will personally disperse them to all the soldiers and he expresses his gratitude...and so do I!

Thanx again

100% Mormon

97% Conservative Christian

95% Baha'i Faith

Can have my sucker now?

Mormon? Jeez!

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

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?

The address is posted in my intial thread

Phone cards would be a hit for the soldiers here

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.

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!

I was stunned to hear the news that my brother had fallen asleep.

I had met Chuck & Margie in Lancaster, PA (those early days, huh Marge')?

He & Margie and Chuck's brother Bob taught God's Word to me as a babe in Christ, they even listened to me try to sing. My thoughts, prayers and love are with Margie, Joyelle & Kara.

Your examples and love have in ALL-WAYS been with me every step of the way through these years.

All my love... John (PFAL 1976)

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
