I want to know if i need to throw some ribs on. One of my oldest friends married a KC10 pilot. We ran cross country on rival teams in high school. Our parents always wanted us to date. Well, okay until my parents met my wife like a year before we started dating. And did not tell me jesus mom and dad help a dude out. Her mom played piano for one of my choirs.

I know more personal details about you than I do some people I've known for over a decade. Hope your friend is alive.

I remember the days when you could just check someone's facebook to see if they were dead or not

This was last week though. KSA airbase also included an expensive/irreplaceable AWACS destruction.
