Capt. Sterling

Congratulations! Here's to more, even bigger and better!

^ That's an easy question for parents... son and daughter < daughter keeps sneaking down to check to see if the new POTC 3 trailer is up on Youtube yet... She's such a pirate, have no clue where she gets it from??? V Favorite accomplishment?

^ wouldn't even know where to start, far too many and so far, most have come to pass < hmmmm everyone's asleep but me V favorite accomplishment?

^ that would be the answer < Dang, lost the 100,000 give away on HGTV to a guy in Richmond right down the road. V ever win something in a give away?

You don't! We did both Brit and American for Rev. War...3rd continental Light Horse Dragoons... Willie Washington's group... white coats, light blue facings... with horses... not a pleasant mix.

Oi thought you were a Swede?

Good question, not actually sure and not getting much information on it other than they are a pocket set of gun tools... will hunt some more!

^ yes all over Bellmore < snow turned to rain, now just mud outside but at least its already warming up V How long does it take you to trust a friend again after they've wronged you?

Shaken not stirred...

Yes when P. Ford was with the Royal Welsh, I know they were supposedly getting their wool from across the pond from an original supplier... but if I remember correctly some how they lost out on that...and even their museum in Wales, has kit that they made and gave to the regiment... Off topic as well, what Rev. war unit did you play with and when if you don't mind me asking? You can always pm me

Both is the best answer... but we shall concentrate on the teens if you like for militia... Okay Rats... you now know where to hunt...

I can but can't stand Beer anymore no matter what the colour... coming from a predominantly German background I drank a glass a beer every day, thanks to my Grandmother, until I was 12! I have had my share... As for green food... if it wasn't grown that way, I avoid it... My firstborn had a green bagle when she was old enough for one St. Paddy's. The next day I was changing her diaper and she passed green ... damn near scared me half to death, was ready to head for the hospital... needless to say I still haven't been able to live that one down!!

I know the 10th regiment of Foot up in MA area, and the Royal Welsh still follow this rule... but Delancy's were the only troops I ever saw actually wearing a muted brick red colour... I don't even know if any of them are still about... I know that the 10th has what they believe to be crimson from the time frame that is very orange in colour...for their officers. But with age I wonder, and maybe Kass can elaborate on this a bit more, how many "True" colours we are actually seeing on display in museums, or if the colours have faded too much over the years...perhaps if one was to rip open a lining that would help to judge better... We followed the rule of better fabrics for officers but unfortunately the current 17th/21st Lancers were actually looking to us for information as no one in their ranks was ever interested in following the history of their regiment... When I went to Beaver castle to meet with the Lt. Colonel and discuss matters, the first thing he asked was that we donate some of our kit to the museum... what they had for Rev. War period was actually one of their Napoleonic period coats... The only helmet that still exists is in France... George Neuman went and took detailed pictures of it for us.

Tis St. Paddy's Day, Lady B... isn't everyone Irish today?

"A Silkie, I like how ye think. Such an intelligent and considerate Lady! I do hope that them that can kiss ye freely do so with the utmost of skill. Ye deserve the best for yer thoughtfulness! But since this be cyberseas and the Far Better Half does not be mindful of such..." gently grasping her wrist, he pulls her back to himself. As arms wrap around her, hugging her close, he kisses her passionately hoping she will approve. "Happy St. Paddy's Day to you Lady."

Well based upon Blackjohn's question, if one went with the 90s how quick were changes made or would some of the older stuff still be hanging around?

They be all out drinking beer!

A very happy birthday to you!

A Fonseca, nothing particularly special...just its snowing out and by the time I get into town to get another one, might as well wait until tomorrow.... I do have the rum... but I'll save that for after dinner...

Cheddar Cheese, apple and the **sigh** last of the Port... better go water it down to stretch it a bit...
