We are a mere Many points away from Many reputation points

Now, instead of being Many points away, we are Many points away, do NOT send us and everyone tumbling into the abyss, no man.

 

However, if anyone does, it will probably be some defiant Commie-babe or finally-a-rubia babe, oj tak.

 

Edit, see man:  Now we are not Many points away, but 2 points away, hang on for dear life man (and order your pre-owned toilet seats in a hurry, si man).

Major, end-worlding, stop-everything warning, see man:

 

Do not (do not! do not!) reputation-point ANY of our posts, no man!  We are a mere Many points away from Many reputation points, and we saw on the Internet that that level of Many points is bad karma, ouch man.  Accordingly, do NOT enable crossing of that ominous threshold, no man!

Too late!  :lol:

Out of the blue, like totally out of the blue, my DH got a letter in the mail An actual letter, with a stamp and all. It looked to me the sort of thing we sometimes get in the post, an invitation to a free dinner where you get to listen to a timeshare spiel or some such. I nearly binned it.

 

It was an actual letter, from a chap he went to prep school with. It totally freaked him out, because it had our actual new address on it.  How on earth.  Apparently long ago best mate had been trying to find him for years. Been googling his name for ages, and always coming up with ancestry type info of similar names long gone, as in the 1800s long gone.  Last week he got a new hit,  so he sent a letter on the off chance. Freaky for sure.

 

They are planning a 50th class reunion for this coming August. The last time any of these guys were together was the night before Himself headed off to Parris Island boot camp, so 1969.  He was headed to Vietnam given the times, and they weren't sure he'd even gotten home from there, although they did know his name wasn't on the wall in DC. So there was a great deal of gleeful jumping up and down when he sent this chap an email.  And then the email started to pour in.

 

Email from chaps called Hoopy, and Steve-o and some poor guy called Callumhisownbadself.  They address Himself as Bill or Chicky. Chicky..seriously?!?  I get the Bill, that once was his first name, before his mum started changing all of the children's names, first last and middle every time she got married. But Chicky?

 

He was up all hours last night, a bit giddy really, and had a real wander down memory lane. A real the NIght the Olde Nostalgia Burnt Down evening. Heaps of stuff I have never heard of.  Some of it even legal :D

Himself went from an initial oh my goodness, we can't go all the way there!  What about the dog! Nobody will even recognize me I look so different! I reminded him airplanes do travel across the country, that we can board the dog, and that time has not stood still for this loony band of 18-year-olds. Everyone is older, everyone will look well different.

 

So it seems, come the middle of summer, I have to transport our Chicky to NH.

I can explain it to you. But I can't understand it for you.

50 years since Vietnam. Time sure flies. I remember reading the newspaper reports as a pre-teen, which were mainly casualty reports and also watching tv news coverage from Walter Conkrite. Our family had our own casualty report as a beloved 1st cousin went down in a helicopter. Glad to hear about your husband's reunion. I'm sure you'll have fun.
