Hey thanks Razor for that. Im looking right now. Hopefully I can get something and maybe request it shipped before my paypal payment clears. Paypal it sweet being without having a credit card but lame because of the amount of time to clear.

Lady and gentlemen, I'd like to announce that I've bought something for my Santa-ee. I sure hope he likes it. I know I'm having second thoughts about shipping it out!Wink [;)] I have a feeling he'll enjoy it as well... I'll get it sent out sometime this week. I've got some odds and ends to take care of with it, so Jon I promise it will get out on or before the 30th! I just don't want to tease my Santa-ee!!!! Hahaha

Hey, Jon!

Mr. UPS came and KIDNAPPED my Santa-ee's present yesterday, with an Evil [}:)] grin!  He muttered something about "Addressed to WHO?  WHERE? That ain't on my route....but I SUPPOSE, since it's Christmas.....besides it'll be fun to watch the recipient squirm wih curiousity!" and BAM - gone, just like that!!!!! Shock [:O]

Unfortunately have been away for awhile, resulting in my modeling grinding to a standstill.Sad [:(]. Not that I had been into it very long as you can see from my original introduction.  Will explain in the odds and ends shortly.  Upon starting to read I noticed this GB.  Would have been nice to get into it, but maybe next year.  Looks like a lot of fun. 

To all of you that got into the spirit.  Have fun.Big Smile [:D]

For the second year in a row, we've invited a special guest to be part of our Group Build, so that we can share the joy and friendship with a fellow modeler.

This year, we welcome PaPa-John to the Group Build. Sign - Welcome [#welcome]Bow [bow]Party [party]Make a Toast [#toast]

PaPa-John is facing some tough medical issues, so we thought we could show him our support by asking him to join us in this Group Build. Please send him your encouragement, prayers and best wishes!

OK- please resume your box packing and box rattling! Big Smile [:D]

All Participants in this great SSGB.

At this time I would like to express my heartful thanks and gratitude for the Special Invite from Jon to join at this late stage.  Yes, I am going though some tuff times, but I have the support of my wife Angel [angel].  We have decided to and brought our two daugthers up to date.  They are very supportive and I feel that it was a positive move to tell them.  I am staying positive that this will only be a minor set back.

Again thank you very much.  Looking forward to conversing with you.  I never realized how friendly and supportive people (especially people you don't even know but through this type of contact) can be until one gets a wake up call.  Bow [bow]Bow [bow]Bow [bow]
