spike has been running a voyager marathon. i had forgotten much of it because it wasn't a fave trek series. though i still put ds9 in 2nd to last place. the last series was my least fave, so much promise and they made it into another lameothon. there should have been truly amazing first contact stories, instead it was space opera one of the few i liked was the repair station one. wish there was a kit of that. anyway, did anyone make a voyager kit? i kinda like that toenail. and can i have a seven of nine for xmas? she sure killed her ex hubby;s career. good for her. "e" <someone@some.domain > wrote in message > >did anyone make a voyager kit? i kinda like that Yep. Believe it ws AMT. They issued a Kazon ship too. Possibly a Maquis ship - not sure about that though. WmB >"e" <someone@some.domain >> wrote in message [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > >WmB thanks and best of holidays. Actually it was Monogram.

He'll be back... i thought it's been a few years? i sure wouldn't share or expose her. she's keep at home and treat nice material. a bit overblown, but ok. >>>spike has been running a voyager marathon. i had forgotten >>>much of it because it wasn't a fave trek series. though i [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > she's keep at home and treat nice material. > a bit overblown, but ok. Yeah, that's how I'd treat her...but if yer gonna swim in the pool in Ill, you'll get the slop on ya eventually. I'd forgotten all that stuff till I spent the month back there watching the local news again. It's really unlke anywhere else I've ever lived...I think the last three ex-govs are either under indictment or serving time for racketeering...I'm gonna have to start watching WGN news regularly and keeping up.

I'd really like to see boss Daily Jr. get run out of office for what he did to Meigs Field (for starters...), but I doubt the machine will let that happen.

As long as their union girls, everyone should get along just fine... ...and of course the cops love the disorder in the streets.

[quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > we did get gassed in the park, near where the guy got his > arm broken on the statue, we missed that. There was just a local news story line about a recently corrupt Chicago cop that is speaking about how he got that way...probably gonna make a killing. Reminiscent of the democratic convention here in LA...where the LA cops caught all those folks in a crossfire with non-leathal bullets. Made the local news, but Ma said they never heard about it in Chicago. My first foray into the fact that local news really is local. Signature- Rufus >>>the city would love the business. the working girls love >>>conventions and the dalys love working girls. [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > i was there in 69 with some friends. it was a bit hairy. > police rioting is odd. Can say that again...I may have been mighty young then, but I do recall watching the coverage of what was going on outside the '68 convention pretty clearly. That, and some of the violence and threats of violence that spilled out into the 'burbs...grandpa sat up all night on the front porch with a shotgun in his lap on at least one occasion I can recall. Didn't dawn on me until I was much older that as a WWI vet he'd probably shot quite a few folks serving in the Muse-Argon for his Country, and had zero compunction about shooting a few for his family in his own front yard... Signature- Rufus >>>>the city would love the business. the working girls love >>>>conventions and the dalys love working girls. [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] >had zero compunction about shooting a few for his family in his own >front yard... yep, they don't talk, bluster or mess around. threaten them the wrong way and they'll kill you. i saw guys like that as a kid, all vets of various battles. europe or the pacific, didn't matter. i respect them a lot. >>>>>the city would love the business. the working girls love >>>>>conventions and the dalys love working girls. [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > didn't matter. > i respect them a lot. Yup. Me too. All my uncles are WWII vets, and I've been side by side working either living or working with vets all of my life. Wish I still had grandpa's WWI uniforms and blankets - grandma was quite a seamstress and made uniforms for my G.I. Joes out of them all...which didn't seem to bother grandpa at all.

I have my grandfather's WWI dog tag, and his Victory medal. And a .30 cal bullet that he kept for some reason. I recall him telling me as a kid that "that's the kind of bullet you shoot a man with". Ma has the picture of grandma that he carried with him in the trenches - I remember her showing it to me and telling me that. The dog tag is kinda cool, in that it's round instead of oblong like a modern one.

I need to learn more about the history of WWI in the theater where my grandfather served - he didn't talk about it much; but we also have several copies of his service record. About the only story I can recall vividly was him telling me about the closest he came to getting killed. He was out of the trench leaning against a tree having a cig...and a mortar came in. Fortunately for him (and me...), the round landed on the opposite side of the tree and the trunk protected him from getting fragged. It's interesting to stop and consider that during my grandfather's lifespan, there were Civil War vets still living as he was growing up, he lived through two World Wars - served in one, and sent his sons to the other, the Korean and Viet Nam wars were waged, the Great Depression occured, the Civil Rights movement took hold, when he was born there was no such thing as an aeroplane, and before he died we put men on the moon. AND - he managed to raise a family of five successful children in spite of all of that.
