I guess I put a label saying ANTHRAX

But that wouldn't really help your case out would it?

akwater: The type that will kill you if you piss em off (not just locals).
Too many like that here.

akwater: Then another type that realize it is nice to have a relationship in Iraq, as it provides someone to hang out with, a person to share your day with, and of course the other bennies.
If you find a spare, send me one of these.

Yeah, I figured more often than not your food was probably bad. Pecan pie sounds good:) That's my family's Thanksgiving tradition.

We do get (I think) Baskin Robins ice cream as well.... (may have changed dunno ill look today) and again, anything that gets here that is ready to serve is ok. Fruit, cake, soda, energy drinks, chips, but anything that is cooked... :( meh

There are three days a year where we look forward to the dfac, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the Marine birthday, (Superbowl two beers so... I guess that is cool still the food sucks)

The women who have the ability to understand that a relationship in Iraq is not the same as a relationship elsewhere are keepers. They are not the ones freaking out when you are not back from the city when you are supposed to be back, they also don't put *fake* ied's under your bed when you chatted with another woman...... lol

Holy crap, we have a term for women that don't do the latter crap back here: sane.

To be fair... I *may* have deserved it :) (the IED thing... it was a fake)

It is stressful enough as it is, so of course a relationship can make it worse.

Ok to be really fair....... I did in fact deserve it... :)

I'm not sure anyone deserves that, but I'll take your word for it.

Give me a shout whenever you have a scheduled shopping trip to KSA (especially Jeddah). I'm willing to drive 300+ km just to meet the great akwater. :P

edit:
I'm working here in Yanbu Industrial City (300+ kilometer north of Jeddah).

Crassmaster: Depends on what you mean by gravy...if you're referring to the pasty abomination known as country gravy, I disagree strongly. :)

LordKuruku: You aren't dissing the world's only good gravy, are you? The only thing that makes biscuits worth eating at all?
I can't imagine the horrendous beef gravies you have tried to think that country gravy is the best...:)
