This time is from Yahoo.

I've found Jim is a man of few words, but they usually get the point across.

[SAMWolf]

Ok. I vented, lets go to Freepmail or E-mail with this.

[Jen]

Such a coward.

[Victoria Delsoul]

OK. Thanks guys, you are really friends. May God bless and always protect you.

Blackmailing someone ranks right above childmolester and below Liberal Democrat in my social rankings.

And here I am thinking it ranks right above Liberal Democrat and right below child molester . . .

[SAMWolf]

LOL. At least we're in the same general area.

How you doing AC? This stuff just ticks me off, it's so juvenile and petty.

[Alberta's Child]

I'm doing OK -- How have you been?

I think there's something about the perception of "anonymity" that convinces people they can get away with things on-line that they would never even try in person.

(I'll be back in about 20 minutes . . .)

[SAMWolf]

Glad to hear you're well. I'm doing ok. Same-o same-o.

[Alberta's Child]

Same-o same-o.

Whenever I find myself thinking that way, I have to make up my mind to "seize the day" and do something a little different. It's tough to do that on a rainy weekend, though. LOL.

[PhilDragoo]

Let me jump in here and say smoke this scum out and bring it to justice. Report it to the ISP.

Log it for the lawyer; it's actionable.

Keep us posted.

[PhilDragoo]

Do you remember who played Davy's (Fess Parkers) side kick in the series?

Buddy Ebsen.

Let me find a picture, and corroboration in case of early onset Alzheimers.

Davy Crockett Cast

Fess Parker as Davy Crockett
Buddy Ebsen as George Russel

Other photos of Ebsen with Parker are not linkable due to webmasters being clymers.

May the webmasters die of something authentic, bear mauling, massacre by Mexican troops.

Remember the Alamo. Forget anal retentive losers.

Hi, Snippy,

David Crockett was everything you say, perhaps more.

My own point of view about the Battle of San Jacinto is that it is as good an example as there is of a correctly timed, planned, and executed counter-attack as occurs in history. Lovely, lovely. Perfect. Must be some Grace (and luck) involved!

I went to the Alamo, erased the modern buildings with the mind's eye, looked at the fields of fire with a veteran's appreciation: bad place, death ground, as Sun Tsu would put it. Everybody defending had to have seen it the same way. Brave men.

[Iris7]

Not sad at all, SAM.

HAMMAN died to the everlasting glory of the United States Naval Service, and to the glory of evey man and woman who has put himself, or herself, in harm's way to defend his and her's people and country. HAMMAN's death is not different from JOHNSTON's at Leyte Gulf, in the Battle Off Samar Island.

Don't see those boys as tragic. The Viet Nam War, which we took part in, destroyed the Soviet Union and the whole idea, in the end, of Communism. A truly noble accomplishment. Our dead young lad's blood, that I can still, in memory, smell, those boys whom I will never forget, that blood was well spent. Your effort, my effort, helped make justice. We did good work. Do not think otherwise. You would do an injustice to our dead.

[Iris7]

Hi Snippy.

This war stuff is not apple pie and ice cream. If women want a part of it (I met a young woman once who was trying for Annapolis, and likely made it - fine officer material in every way) I just pray they can hack it. Bad stuff. Figure you for one of the good ones.

[snippy_about_it]

Wonderful Phil, thanks.

[snippy_about_it]

Thanks for your insight, we really enjoy when our readers give us their view and experiences on our topics. I have to say though this is SAMWolf's work not mine. LOL.

Believe me, I could never do as good a job as SAM does. I'm just posting SAM's work while his in-laws are visiting for a couple weeks.

I've never been to the Alamo. I understand what you say about removing current buildings from the minds eye while viewing historic places. Last year I was in Virginia visiting battlefields and doing the same thing.

[SAMWolf]

I figured you'd know. The pre Jedd Clampett days.

[SAMWolf]

Thanks Iris7.

I meant "sad" because she was torpeoded while a sitting duck, performing rescue operations. I'm pretty sure she was also not the intended target of the attack.

[SAMWolf]

The Alamo is one place I want to see even though people tell me I'll be disappointed because only the Chapel exists and it is in a buuilt up area. Those are the people that don't understand the awe of just standing on the same ground as the men who fought there. And like you and Snippy, removing the modern lanscape and using the minds eye to picture it as it was in 1836.

I did the same in Belguim when I vivisted the Battle of the Bulge sites at Malmady, St. Vith, Bastonge and Clearvaux. I could picture those places in the winter of 1944 and appreciate what happened.
