Jules - 04 Dec 2006 20:27 GMT Hi all
Well there isnt one this week, i was on my way to see him yesterday, and i call off at my uncles for a cup of tea first etc...
Anyway he told me that he had to call the cops midweek, as he lives next door to my real mom...anway her husband tried to take a baseball bat to her and threatend to blow the family away with a couple of guns he said he had...she ran out into the street screaming, anway my uncle called the cops, 5 armed cars, like the US SWAT team, with helo stormed the house.....
I talked to my uncle yesterday, and where the safe house was where my real mom was...so drove over, she mentioned the cops name who was incharge of the case, and its a mate of mine, so i called him and he told me it was all true etcetc
Anyway im not losing much sleep over it, the last time i saw my mother was about 2 month ago, when she slammed the door in my face, and before that i was years ago...
Well next time i go and see granddad along with the dog i will take a couple of fotos. The dogs doing fine too!
Hope everyone is ok...

We know your Grandfather likes fish and chips. I'm curious, does he like "McVitties Milk Chocolate Digestives"? When an old colleague from the UK used to come over here, he would bring a couple rolls of them over for me. Luckily, I did finally find a place here (among many, I'm sure) where I could buy them on my own! They're the best biscuits/cookies I ever had!
Talk to you later! Charles R. Whealton Charles Whealton @ pleasedontspam.com

Yes my granddad likes those...i hate em!!!! god they taste bad.....makes me heave just thinking about em!
At the moment im trying to clean my house, as i have a friend fly over from Berlin next week and stop for xmas....ok so that means i should have hundreds of fotos to put on my webpage as im showing her around London for a few days etc....
Im hoping to drive to Germany and Poland on the 26th....dont think i will be, lots of friends have invited me all over the place.
Evlyn knows the background about my parents, and how i was raised by grandparents as as niether one wanted me, so to be honest its no great concern about my mother, when she left her 2nd husband, my first stepdad, me and him went out celebrating, so that should tell you something about her...but i had the best grandparents in the world, so no bug loss to me, some people dont even have that

Sometimes just even one person who loves a child and cares genuinely, is all it takes to inspire and instill good values. I know, because I also had a loving grandparent who inspired me.

Chuck Whealton - 07 Dec 2006 18:59 GMT > >> > Hi all > >> > [quoted text clipped - 86 lines] > Evelyn > (to reply to me personally, remove 'sox') Yea, and 'ya know? That's why I left it where I did. I do remember reading part of the story behind Jules, his parents, and his grandparents. I understand. It's just a shame, though - at least TO ME. If Jules is OK with it, then that's fine - I have no place or right to argue - I know he's got his (legitimate) reasons.
I count myself lucky having had a GREAT Mother who I think sometimes stayed on this planet just till she was sure I would be OK and a GREAT Father who unfortunately, was taken early. I know not everybody is as lucky, but luckily Jules had his Grandparents and has turned out to be a good person as a result.
But Jules? What do you mean you don't like McVitties Milk Chocolate Digestives!
Just kidding, but man, I love those things.

Great to hear from you! Whereas I'm saddened you don't get the same joy out of McVitties Milk Chocolate Digestives that your Grandfather and I do, I hope you have fun in London! I enjoyed the small amount of time I spent in the area several years back.

Have fun!

Mary_Gordon@tvo.org - 15 Dec 2006 18:35 GMT Chuck, speaking of McVitties digestives biscuits...my teenaged son has a buddy who is an emigrant from the Czech republic. The kid's over at our house all the time and we keep the chocolate covered ones on hand just for him (i.e. first thing he does when he gets in the door is start sniffing around for a couple of "bickies". He's become an addict!

In fact, I'm tempted to go off to a store I know of that sells them today and pick up a pack or two. They can be very addicting!

Before I found the "English Store" around where I live, the only other place I saw them was at a small store at Lake Havasu City in Arizona where, of course, one of the old London Bridges was transported to after being decommissioned in England.
They only had the plain ones but I had to have milk chocolate, so I skipped them.
They do a great job of candy bars, cookies, etc., over in Europe. At the store I go to, the Mars bars they sell (English/European version) are actually what we would get in a Milky Way bar here in the US, but I felt they tasted just a bit better than our Milky Ways.
