    Seeing other parts of the world!

    I've been to all those countries bar Korea, didn't need to join the Army to do it either!! Did they teach you how to post cartoons as well? My son left for Japan yesterday from Bangkok, he's fluent in Japanese and wants to get a job in IT over there.

    Both of those are cool, IMHO.
    Sorry I missed this post.

    Got any cool firefighter stories to share?

    Bless you for adopting. Boy? Girl? How old was he/she when you brought him/her home?
