When Nancy and I bought her son a 14060 Sub last year, Joe gave us a correct box and all the goodies to go with it to make up the complete package. Good guy!

When he sent me that Subby in May, my post went into several pages, but the guy did not throw in a single comment.

That's just the kinda guy he is. I had to send him several PMs to finally get his attention!!
No, they had to jump start Bubba out of his comatose state first..............:jus tkiddi

This is TRF. This is what makes this so special for me. It is not about the gifts, but who's behinds those gifts. Acceptissima semper munera sunt, auctor quae pretiosa facit.

Temper, temper! In The Netherlands we have a somewhat different educational system. There are several types of high school and just two of them allow you to enter a university. Atheneum and Gymnasium. The latter has compulsory Ancient Greek, Latin and culture.

This is the translation: Most welcome are those gifts who receive their value from the person who gives them. (A bit free format).

I wasn't smart enough for Gymnasium and was kicked out of Atheneum after one year
