Let me give you an official Straight Dope welcome back! My father was in the Navy as well, so I know what a stress it can be both on you and your family. Good to have you back! ---

I had a great weekend with my son ā€“ translation: exhausting, expensive weekend with my son! We did everything, packing six months quality time into 48 hours. Putt-putt, Va. Science Museum, the beach, frisbee in the park, the Mall, the Jewish Mother, the boardwalk and good meals galore! I even got him to try and then eat willingly an entire bowl of potato soup. This from the only kid in the U.S. who despises potato chips and french fries! All in all a weekend I wonā€™t soon forget. Even the 14 ounces of chocolate milk accidently dumped down my pant leg at lunch Sunday! ---

Gosh, **Chief** , Itā€™s too bad that **Falcon** wasnā€™t there to clean up the mess. Do you think that sheā€™s good enough to accomplish this feat without using her hands? (I didnā€™t think so, eitherā€¦) ---

Southern - Gee, wouldnā€™t it be nice to find out if I was that good? Too bad both you and Chiefy will never find outā€¦ (smiles sweetly - nope, still not tamed.) ---

Well **Falcon** , Iā€™ve known several women that _were_ that good, and in every case but one, Iā€™m sure that they still are. I was just wondering if you were in their league. Now, because of your ā€˜still not tamedā€™ comment, youā€™ll have to EARN your way in. (Iā€™ll call your smile and raise you a shit-eatinā€™ grin!) ---

Iā€™m so glad you had a good time with your son, Chiefy. And, Iā€™ll be nice and not comment on Southernā€™s comment. šŸ˜› Much. You go, girl! Let them know whoā€™s _really_ in charge, Falcon! šŸ˜ƒ ---

Let me join the crowd and say that Iā€™m happy youā€™re home, although Iā€™ll miss reading your logs. And thanks for being out there and getting the job done. Iā€™d also like to point out that Iā€™m quite happy that thereā€™s an ocean between you and my girlfriend, my sisters etc. right now. Keep posting! S. Norman ---

**Chief** , Please note that the gratuitous smilies that appear in this thread are NOT the direct result of my handywork. And **Purp** , I donā€™t think that there will be much fireworks from **Falcon**. She shouldnā€™t be too concerned that Iā€™ve sent a compliment your way. Iā€™ll compliment her again sometime when sheā€™s earned it ā€“ like right after she gets me my next beer. ---

Oh, Hi **Falcon** , Were you listening in on my conversation with **Purplebear**? Shame on you. :: scolds Falc for eavesdropping :: I thought that maybe this once, just this once, Iā€™d try to do things your way. I checked the refrigerator and there is no ā€œDamn beerā€. There is plenty of Michelob, Bud light, Honey Brown, four Fosterā€™s and a couple of Guiness. :: realizes Falc would have no idea whatā€™s in my refrigerator :: I guess Iā€™ll have to get my own beer this time ā€“ Iā€™m in the mood for a Honey Brown ā€“ but _you_ will have to bring me a ā€œDamn Beerā€. šŸ˜‰ Afterwards Iā€™ll pass out the kudos and adulations. Oh, I was thinking about asking **Turpentine** to visit, and **ChiefScott** may drop in. Could you bring us all a ā€œDamn Beerā€? Thanks. I knew you could. šŸ˜‰ :: heading for the exit :: ---

Oh, thanks. šŸ˜• Iā€™m wearing light colored khakis. With just a little imagination it looks just like chocolate has been spilled all over my lap. Which also brings us full circle ā€“ it really does need cleaning up. No hands, now. šŸ˜ƒ ---
