Almost Posted a Really Stupid Poll

I was contemplating a humorous poll, but decided against it for obvious reasons. I am heading home for a couple of weeks of leave from Iraq. In the time that I’ve been gone, my lovely wife has purchased a BLI Burlington E9 and several BLI CZ passenger cars. The poll was going to ask what should I hug first, my wife, my dogs, the E9, or the CZ cars, I could also include a beer since we don’t get that here?

Howeverm, I think the order will be, my wife, the dogs, my wife. Then I’ll just see how it plays out from there!

Good choice. Hugging the wife first will increase the chances of similar purchases in the future… And besides, you don’t want to take a chance on bending those delicate parts of the locomotive… [;)]

Welcome back, and thanks for serving.

Ed

I’ll buy the beer. Welcome back.

I’d go with the wife on this one. The rest will come to you, but if you don’t go to her first she might not come to you in a while, and that would be BBBBBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADDDDDDDD!!!

And thanks for your service to this country! Have a good leave.

In my opinion every poll posted here is stupid. I have an MBA in Marketing from the University of Chicago and wouldn’t attempt a poll here. The cross section is too narrow. The responses too few and the questions are ludicrous for accuracy. The only poll I would like to see at this point is,“Should we have anymore polls?” with the only choice NO.

Good choice, gotta keep the wifie happy!

And even though it may not seem like much…

I really thank you and all the other troops over in Iraq. You guys deserve a really big hug from all Americans, with a firm handshake, and a genuine “looked in the eye” appreciation and gratitude for the service and sacrifice you bestow for our continued freedom and democracy.

I have never served, but others in my family have since WWI.

Thanks again,

Dude! You missed the point. What we have here is a returning Vet.

RedGrey,

I was serious about the beer. Email me your address and I’ll see what I can do about getting it to you.

Hope you enjoy your leave and those awesome trains. Thank You for serving our country Redgrey62.

Your new engine will not know when you show up. It will wait, and the pleasure can easily be deferred. However, a disappointed wife…THAT lasts a lot longer…a LOOOOOOOTTT longer.

Enjoy.

Good Luck Redgrey. Welcome Home

Good choice! Have a great leave. Tks for your service.

great choice by me The wife comes first.

Rick,

If your wife is buying you model railroad equipment, my advice is wife, wife, wife and wife (although not necessarily in that order).

Welcome home, even if it is only temporary.

Andre

I’ll I can say is “Thank you” and welcome home.!!!

Thanks to all of you. Based on your comments I will hug the wife first. And I promise no more polls ndbprr!

See you on the other side of the ocean.

Rick

Your a wise man! [:)] Along with everyone else. [#welcome] home…and THANK YOU for your service in Iraq!!!

Tom

Welcome back and I hope your losses over there have been few.

Dave

After 18 years of marriage, I would hug the dogs!
