My daughter would hire a professional killer with her baby sitting money if I did that.

Mommy, Make it STOP!

Your very welcome. It's not a lot of military stuff as you may expect. The idea of having the character travel from place to place keeps it interesting. But as you may expect, Jack typically finds a lady friend at each location. Who'da thunk. Oh, and there is no certain order in which to read the books, but "The Killing Floor" is a good starting place.

Not pathetic at all. I'd ask to go in with you on the deal, but I like to save the book for vacation. If I got it 2 months early, I'd inhale it and wouldn't have it to enjoy later. You know what I need on the other subject? I need a character name. I can't do a whole lot with it at present, but I'd like to get started with something. Ideas would be great from anyone...

Reacher is a retired Army Major. He has no residence and carries no luggage, other than a debit card and tooth brush. He doesn't wear a watch because the "time in his head" is always accurate enough. He is a polite individual, lives off of his military retirement, moves from place to place on a regular basis and may pick up an odd job along the way. Just don't mess with him or anyone he has made a friendly acquaintance with because he will stick around town until things are set right. I've read the entire series and enjoyed all the stories. I hope you like them as well. Hey,

Sorry 'bout that. I was just happy to get the first chapter. I don't believe you can get the book prior to May without flying to the UK. At least this year 2 books will be released. Up 'til now, it's just been one a year and always in May. That's why it's my standing father's day gift. That's the only reason I agreed to have a child. (j/k) I'm busy attempting to conjure up a similar character because I intend on attempting to write one myself in a few years. Although it would be difficult to top Child's character I'm afraid.

It had been a while since I checked Lee Child's website, but I was glad I did today 'cause the Chapter 1 teaser was up! So I'll be looking forward to my yearly father's day gift, read a chapter or two and save the rest of it for my beach reading enjoyment in June. It's gonna be fun reading about COLD weather in the breezy 90 degree heat of Daytona. Go read that first chapter if you have a moment. The board's slow anyway.

Tell her I just got a belch app for my droid.

Yes, 25 years this month. I told her on our anniversary that she was finer than frog hair and if I could find another just like her, I'd marry her to! She told me that would be bigamy! I replied, "Actually, that would be very big of me"

Well then, shouldn't "irritating" just be "ritating"? (j/k)

Whatever you say, Medusa! Actually the guys used to call our old outfit, "The Steve McQueen". You know, dress pants, jacket and t-shirt. That was fine untill we visited our lead singer's very conservative/fundamental Church and the preacher called him out about it, saying that from then on we'd dress appropriately. It's jacket and tie all the way now....most times. I'll look for your PM.

No, you must extend the car show 'til 5! I'll do my best to stop by around noon. I'll have to run back to the house though to prepare my killer quartet singing suit around 1 or so.

sorry

What a B E A utiful ride, Guard Dad! Is that one yours? Thanks for the announcement. I hope the weather cooperates! That's REAL close by. I'll try to stop on my way to the concert. I have to be there for set up around 4:40. Be sure to wear your Sunday best because I'm dragging you with me when I leave.

Not exactly the same thing, but I hear stupid statements in advertising that irritate me. One in particular I hear every single day on the ride home... (Radio Commercial) "Men, do you urinate frequently?.....Do you get out of bed to urinate?...." I always say aloud in the car: No, I just fling back the sheets and play Old Faithful... But back to the specific topic, I often get in trouble at home for correcting grammar. My main complaint is the old standard.....using "at" at the end of a sentence.

WHAT?! It's morning already? It would be a good day to nap, but the boss frowns on such things...

Do y'all get as tired as I do with that diabetes guy on the commercials? He has the personality and demeanor of an old house cat...

I don't doubt it at all. That's gotta be some sho nuff hard labor. When you think about it, "food" is not the real issue. It's desks, chairs and computers that are the debil! If you ask people today, they think "manual labor" is an illegal alien.

Actually, the "ticket machines" don't go on-line until fall when the new RMS system is installed.

You have to admit though, building bridges is a fantastic weight loss program. You remember how skinny those dudes got in Bridge Over The River Kwai?

Oh yes, please. But I'd prefer a large hot fudge sundae...(female style). Thanks

I imagine the advantage of the Kindle would be the non-glare screen. I think the iPad would be more difficult to read out in the sun......on Daytona Beach of course.

Would you mind picking mine up and bringing it to the office. I would, but I'm so fat that if you told me to haul a$$, I'd have to make 2 trips. Thanks in advance! Jack

Y'all please stop. This topic is making me hungry!

I wouldn't worry too much about it. There is absolutely NO DOUBT that there is a group of politicians that are assigned to think of any and everything to tax. If they think they can get away with it, they'll tax it. If they were legitimately concerned about people, they would attempt to outlaw activities that they consider "harmful". It's not about health, insurance or anything else. It's all about money and power.
