No snow, but beau coup rain and wind. Power has been off since Monday evening. Knocked my blue spruce over in the back tard Hope you made out ok.

Finally got your message. I was never in the Phillipines but I did work with a fellow GI in Germany who was Phillipino. Gaugua was his last name. We had no correspondence once I came home. I believe he intended to eventually retire from the Army.

What's on your mind?

I could sense that you were offended. There was no intent to do so. I'm an American nothing more, or less. After almost sixty years I still speak a vernacular tha most hill folks cant understand. I apologise to your Mom and you if I've disparaged her in any way.

The olden days!? Right down my alley. Older than dirt I am, and sorry for the delay in answering. Asked my therapist if I should not respond? He tells me, only if you're dead.have a good one!

Hi Guy. I'm much worse at replying than you will ever be; believe me. Philippines? Was in Germany back in the mid fifties with a chap from Manila. "Gaugua", or somethin to that effect. Sharp lad, Good soldier. We just didn't keep in touch. Thanks for the reply and good luck to ya'. 9/29

Thanks "needyone", if I may? Bear with me Lad. Glad to meet you. So you gotta know, I'm too old to be serioun and too serious to be young! My science training is nil, except what I've picked these last couple months. I love learning but at my age the grey matter becomes a bit slick. Anyway, I'm glad to meet you and, I did enjoy the gentleman's lecture. Some of these ...

Swansont, I didn't mean to make a stink with that "faster than light" thing. I know this is a Science Forum, and I made a mistake. But was just wondering how to put an "Idea" out there without someone taking total offense? I realize there is quite a difference between theories, hypotheticals and a supposition. Sometimes an idea is all that is needed, and some of these kids may run with it. If there is a way of doing this without falling through the cracks, I would appreciate your input. Thanks.

Moontan Man. Trying to get my head wrapped around this program. Want to reply and hoping that what you thought as "dismissive" was only ignorance on my part. There was no offense meant. Hey! us Hicks gotta stick together.

JohnB., Rigney here. Tried to get back to you but I'm having a hard time getting up to speed with this program. So, I really don't know if you got my message or not. Would like to keep in touch if we can. Don't know a lot of Aussies!!
