Coffee coming. Hope it helps. How about prayers?

Thanks Jane, I'm just so danged frustrated with the doc's and everything. I'm sure by tomorrow she'll be fine.

Is the grill open yet? I could go for a double cheeseburger, double hashbrowns w/cheese and butter and a draft in a frosty mug.

Howdy cat. You want the hungry man lunch, huh? Here's your beer it'll be a minute on the chow. Ever have c-rats? Got a special on them today.

When we were at the port in Damman(sp) Saudi, my platoon found a whole pallet of them. We ate good for a couple of weeks. Used to sit on the balconies in Kobar towers and cook on our squad stoves. Beat the shit the Phillipino's were serving in the parking garages. After we moved to the desert we were located next to a British Engineer unit used to trade with them all the time. Case of MRE's would get you a case of rations they called 10 men, guess that's how many Brits it could feed.

i also remember being very young when my father was stationed in Germany and he would bring back c-rats from the field. It was like a little Christmas to us kids and Dad would laugh saying how do they eat that stuff.

So, you got yourself a P-38 then? I still have one on a keyring circa 1966.

[catman]

I also have a p-38 on my keyring, right next to the dog tag

[Drywall]

If it wasn't so dang useful, I doubt if I'd have kept one.

Are you going to list the 101 uses of one?
