WELCOME CHRIS,

Ain't the 'puter great, it makes us closer together. Do you fish there? Do you have to worry about being drafted into the Greek army? One of my friends was born there and immigrated to the USA when he was small. He even went to RVN. Well, His brother went back to Greece to see the family and he was arrested for avoiding service in the Greek Army. His brother had to pay a certain amount fine that I can not recall since it was over 7years ago that he told me about it. To get released, leave the island and go back to the U.S.

Bell,

I fired my first wife in 1989. The one I have now gave me a son and he's tough. I think I'll keep her as long as she stays.

How tough? Did you leave him out overnight as a test? I've heard the rumors before.

The first wife gave me a son also. Fired her anyway. Did I say "first"? hahahahha. There never has been a second.

Bell,

Wasn't 5-81 cold? I still remember how cold 5-82 was.
Two questions:

1) How old is your son and do you see him?
2) When are you getting a second wife (they come in handy) :lol:

Did you know Daryl Parks? Did you know Paul Burbrige?

Pete,

He's tough. Today was cold for Athens and we went shopping. The mall is an outdoor mall and my son said "I'm cold" I told him to walk harder it warms you. My wife concured.

There is a limit but both my wife and I push him a little. At 3 he would come home from nursery school crying "they hit me". I showed him how to hit back and now at 4 they respect him.

Possible Ranger in the making???
