Yes, unimaginable.

Oh I don't mean to trivialize the moment, but I keep wanting to comment on your little chicken. It's adorable.

I goofed on the title. The correct title is: "My Knees Were Jumping" (not my EYES ) and it is narrated by Joanne Woodward. I will get it in the mail tomorrow Marion, and PS....With all your good work on behalf of the WWII Veterans I would like for you to just consider this a little Christmas gift from which is yours to keep.

Merry Christmas!

Geez Jim. I don't know what to say... Gosh, thank you, thank you. That is so very kind. I will treasure it always and everytime I watch it I will remember who it's from.

Hugs, M

For my Birthday, I recieved the BBC's history of WW2. It contains 12 disks that were all broadcast on the BBC. One of the disks is Nazi's ,A Warning from the Past. I recommend it highly!

I agree Jiggers, that is one of my favorites of that set

Yet another great set to add to the Wish List. Gee some folks have problems coming up with stuff to add to their lists. Not me...

Remember that old song by Johnny Cash, called "One Piece At A Time?" That's the way I view my own wish list

For Christmas last year(I think?), I received a DVD set entitled: "WWII Battlefront". The set includes 5 DVD's in a card-stock folder. The description on the back says "over 7 hours of astonishing COLOR footage, taken from newsreels and captured enemy films". It has been awhile since I viewed it so I thought I recalled it was old B&W newsreels. If anyone is interested I can give a better description.

It was probably a Wal-Mart buy.

But a really great gift that I received this year was a CD lecture series by The Teaching Company, entitled "World War II: A Military and Social History". This set comes in 3 seperate plastic cases(the size of VCR tapes) and each case has 5 CD's. Each CD has 2 lectures of 30 minutes in length. This makes a total of 15 hours of lecture.

Very good review of the causes of the conflict and the connections between different events going on around the various countries and theaters.

For info, you can call 1-800-TEACH-12 or go to www.TEACH12.com .

I know it sounds boring. I wasn't thrilled when my buddy recommended it and said he was sending me a set. I've certainly enjoyed it. (Of course, free things are usually more enjoyable.)

My neighbors may think I'm crazy the day I stayed home to work in the flower bed and I had a CD-player blaring across the street about the Nazi's attacking Moscow.

Okay Lee says, what is so funny. I was laughing out loud when I read your post. I could imagine you in the garden getting your hands dirty, and as hubby says, strains of talk of dead-heaped buddies and Heil Hilter booming from your house. Hmm, yes your neighbors may think you strange, but don't feel alone, many of my friends think me a bit "touched" too!

WWII Battlefront is a pretty good set for under $20, although it is "colorised" footage, and not real color film. I saw it on sale locally for about $12.99 for Christmas.

You have it all wrong. I was digging a mine field around my house.

Now I'm laughing even harder. My side is hurting. Please stop.

Hey that's okay, some people have moats around their castles!

Check this out, I saw it on another site.

I like it

I tried to upload a pic of a flak gun mounted on someone's house, but it said "you cannot upload this type of file"

Oops, guess we lost the link somewhere. Can you re-post it please. Wanna see it!

Jim - Dogdaddy,

Received the DVD in the mail today. Thank you. I plan on glimpsing at least part of it while decorating my house today. I now have a DVD player on my computer (as of last week), so I can even watch them from my desk.

Thank you so much for your kindness. Merry Christmas my dear friend.
