Subject: Re: Wednesday Chat 05.16.12 by TommyT-Bone on 2012/5/16 11:41:11 My mother used to go to Slovakia with full suitcases of stuff for the relatives and come back with full suit cases of stuff from there. They love getting stuff from the States. I remember coming back with her from Germany and we a had a set of dishes all boxed up in seperate boxes. There were about a dozen boxes wrapped in brown paper and twine. The German customs officials wanted to look in every box before we boarded the plane. What a PIA that was. I remember going through Czechoslovakian Customs upon entering that country in 1972. They made me strip. The only good thing was they didn't do a cavity search. Still, it was eye opening for a 16 y/o to go through that. I remember we went by a Russian military outpost when were there. My uncle was none to thrilled about it. The Russians had sent him to Siberia for 6 years back in the 1940's. I have a small job to go to today. I'm taking the crew and fertilizing all the plants on a property they just cleaned up. Should be a 3 or 4 hour job. That will break my current two day record of not doing much of anything. Have a great day everyone. No matter how bad you think we have it here, it's way worse in most other places. |
