Ouch, ow, uhh, son of a ...
It is called “hhhert”. Make the “H” sound really hard, the back of your throat. That is what I and Obi-Won-Jim-Koby (1LT Koby) had done to us today. Curious yet? Of course you are. Well I shall expand. We both got haircuts today, Iraqi haircuts. I have had a few before, but today I dragged Jim along and forced him to get the “hhhert” treatment. What is this “hhhert” treatment? First your face gets plastered with talcum powder. Then the barber take a piece of thread, winds it between his fingers, in a triangle type shape. Then he runs the free running end into his mouth. He places the triangle on your face, and then the hands start moving like a Bruce Lee movie. The thread and the hands become this hair removal machine like no other. The head bobs up and down, moving the thread back and forth, it is so bizarre, I had to take photos to help explain it all. Words just fail the whole experience. When you are all done you have no hair on your forehead, nose, ears, upper cheeks and your eyebrows are very well groomed. It is very painful, but I know you would be proud to know that I was not letting my eyebrows merge together into one, all powerful, eyebrow.

Luke I am Your Father
The following is what happens when you send men, cut off from the rest of the world, toys. . . .
Well, I just thought I would let you know that a horrible fight broke out in the compound last night. It had nothing to do with the war, it was just two of the guys who live here. One of the guys started saying something about the other guy’s father. I didn’t really hear all that was said, but there were was a great deal of talk about fathers and forces. It was bizarre. One thing led to another and before you know it, they were going at it. I guess everyone is just on edge, and emotions got too high. Anyway, the fight was really brutal, and before it was all over one of the guys lost a hand. Somebody had a camera, and took some pictures. It might seem kind of weird for us to just stand by and let two guys go at it like that but we did. It was an epic battle, to say the least. The pictures might help explain it a little better.

Fat Boy Friday
Hello to all of you,
So let me preface this letter by saying that I am a big believer in proper diet and good, hard exercise. I spent six days of the week eating things like egg whites, plain oatmeal, chicken breasts, broccoli and other such healthy food. I also make it to the gym five or six days a week. Now I don’t just go to the gym, a push myself very hard when I am there. I mean what is the point of going, if you are not going to make it count. That being said, I would like to introduce you all to a little thing I like to call “FAT BOY FRIDAY.”
I spend six days of the week (Saturday thru Thursday) living life as described above. Friday is a different story. Friday is the one day a week I can eat anything I want. Fat Boy Friday is becoming something of a legend around here. Most people who live with me are well aware of Fat Boy Friday. It really is a thing of beauty.
So I imagine you are asking yourself what is it exactly that one would consume, if one was going to participate in Fat Boy Friday. Well, since you asked I will tell you. Let me expunge:
Breakfast: 9 strips of bacon, 2 hash brown patties, 2 waffles with ice cream and chocolate, OJ, Chocolate Milk, Strawberry Milk, Red Bull Energy Drink.
Snack: Chocolate Filled Pastry, 1 large cup of coffee.
Snack: M’azing brand candy bar, can of Coke.
Lunch: 2 slices of Pepperoni Pizza, French Fries, 3 glasses of sweet tea, 1 slice of chocolate swirl cheesecake.
Snack: Entire can of Pringles, can of Strawberry Fanta.
Snack: M’azing brand candy bar, can of Coke.
Dinner: 4 large chicken strips, Mashed potatoes and gravy, 2 sweet teas, can of Coke, Coke Float (coke and ice cream).
Snack: Twix brand candy bar, can of Coke.
Jealous much?
This is just what I ate today, and the day is not over yet. So far I have eaten 8 times today. If any of you would care to sit down and figure out the calories consumed I would be really interested to find out. I myself am not going to count, but if any of you do, please tell me what you find out.
Anyway, I just thought I would give you all one more peak inside my brain. I have to go now. I think I am going to throw up.
Love,
S. Robert Meehl

Urgent Prayer Request
Subject: Urgent Prayer request
From: Vicky Field
Subject: My son has been shot in Fallujah.
I wanted to get everyone to pray for my son Chad. Today, Sunday, I got a call from the Army, that my son had been shot in the head. I am asking for all your prayers. He was in a Humvee going through Fallujah fighting and a gang of militia fighteres fired on the Humvee and hit Chad in the head.
The driver got him out of the city and took him to Baghdad. He was in fatal condition, but now has been upgraded to stable critical. His dad and I are on standby to fly to Washington then on to Germany as soon as the military calls us to go. The Army is trying to stabilize him enough to fly to Germany and at that time, we will leave.
Please pray that my son will not have brain damage and that he will be restored and healed by the blood of Jesus, and the grace of God. I ask for you to pass this prayer request on so there will be many prayer warriors praying for him.
Thank you so much and I will keep you updated on his condition.
God Bless,
Vicky Field
Granbury, Texas
Please pray for this young soldier and please pass this request along to those who will pray for him.
