Since phone calls weren't really an option for most of us...  We thrived on emails from friends & family back home.  Some were serious... Some were halarious... And all of them we were anxious to get.  Some of our emails, of course, came in to our own personal emails.  Pero since we were paying to get online we also gave a group address to everyone where we could get them in one big bunch everyday, printed out & hung on a line for us to grab... For now only these will be posted because I'm not sure if I still have any off of my hotmail.  NOTE:  I did not type any of these emails up.. nor am I responcible for language or content of any of them...  However,  I may edit any of them for details that this person may not wish to share on here... since they were the one's sent to the group add there SHOULDNT be much of this, pero still...
