Maxine, after seaching this is very close to the aforementioned "helmet", except the 1960's version is plastic. lol, you have to work with what you have.

Lol, yes you were reading correctly. Oh the trials and tribulations on the physical plane of exsistance. When reading some authors, that contend that everything that happens to us in life ...we signed up for in between lifes, It leaves me contemplating what would have made me "check off that...

The noise that you heard in the cockpit of your "Butcher Bird" -what the FW190 was called by its pilots....could have been several things in air to air combat. Most all if the american fighters you would have contacted, and all the american bombers were armed with .50 caliber machine guns...

Hi Maxine, yes in first and second grade my favorite magazine was Air classics, and I was requesting hard back books as presents, such as "Log of The Liberators" By Edward Jablanski. I have to tell you a trial and tribulation of potty training..... well they didnt get me a chair type, they...

Howdy Lights, I found it quite frustrating at times to mentally be an adult authority figure injected into the body of a child. Its like a Rodney Dangerfield joke come to life (let me tell ya, I don't get no respect...no respect at all I tell ya):butbut:

Nice to meet you as well, Sarque. There is a book that may help put things into perspective. I have read it and much enjoyed the book. its availible on amazon.com On Hitler's Mountain: Overcoming the Legacy of a Nazi Childhood (P.S.) by Irmgard A. Hunt (Paperback - Jan 31, 2006) It covers...

Thanks Andrewx and Jody....yes that movie was the first one I ever seen that struck a nerve and caused a physical reaction It did a great job of convincing my brain that it was right in the middle of a really bad place...adrenaline flowed, breath and heart rate went through the roof. The...

In bad situations I was very intuative, Jokingly called it my radar to friends. i unfortunatley have been in quite a few scuffles, as we were called to them.( i spent 6 of my years with a Hospital District police Dept...so we had to do everything from deal with gang members to out of control...

I have ran into folks that it felt like I knew them "all my life" as they say, and was just picking up where we left off. As far as being able to recall who my buddies were in that time, I have not so far. It would require additional effort to get to that place. I have allways felt, mostly...

No, I don't dream about it any more. There are some situations over time where I have had reactions , that made little sense in the context of this life..example, the first 30 minutes of "Saving Private Ryan" When it came out and I went to the theater to see it..my heart rate went through...

Some of my earliest memories of childhood are of the nightmares that came all too often , and lasted into my High School years. Having been born in the early 1960's my Mother , and step dad really never delved into the cause of the termoil. This left me to try to figure out things on my own. I...
