It is call either central air heating or forced air heating.

I think forced air heating is the proper term ....GP

Well then, be very careful!

But isnt that a tiger?

It's truly amazing the longevity and the awesome community this game has. I was reading back through some of the old stuff a bit last night and some good times were definitely had here.

Hey BB. I'm kinda surprised that this place is still alive and kicking.

Hey gents! All hail The Thread and all that jazz.

Hope everyone is doing well.

Hi guys.

Just wanted to drop by and wave hello.

Hello.

<t> 2/11<br/> <br/> It was a long way from Singapore to Japan.<br/> <br/> The enemy task force must have had a harrowing journey, escorting a badly damaged battleship from one side of the ocean to the other.

<t> 2/10<br/> <br/> Two corps commanders or, more precisely, former corps commanders, stood facing the grim line.

<t> 2/9<br/> <br/> A squadron of American Liberator bombers was winging its familiar way to Singapore. In daylight, the flight path was fairly simple, and generally involved staying between the two land masses which were both visible from a certain altitude. <br/> <br/> The task before them would no...

<t> 2/8 <br/> <br/> For the American pilots the Sumatran jungle was becoming a pretty familiar sight. Various squadrons had now crossed the island at least half a dozen times. A handful of planes had crashed on it. But in all that time, the US naval units had never attacked it. Today’s raid would ch...

<t> 2/7<br/> <br/> The bright tropical sunrise promised another beautiful day. The clear, blue water shimmered and danced, sometimes revealing the mere hint of shadows of fish just beneath the surface.<br/> <br/> The taskforce of naval vessels was almost superfluous in this idea setting. Four small ...

<t> 2/6<br/> <br/> The next USN strike on Singapore did not go for any finesse. It was a straight-on battering ram which gathered all of the American carriers’ might into one strike and launched it at the shipping in Singapore.<br/> <br/> Unlike last time, the Japanese had a few fighters in the air,...

<t> 2/5<br/> <br/> It had been almost a year since the city of Sian was occupied by the invaders. Then, the Chinese army had been too weak to resist the mighty force which the Japanese had brought to bear. The city was voluntarily surrendered, while the main forces made its long and hungry trek thro...

<t> 2/4<br/> <br/> The flight from the Indian Ocean to Singapore was actually quite short, just over half an hour. And by the time the main strike arrived the air was clear of opposition.<br/> <br/> The British had bombed the air fields at night. They did not cause much damage, only a few craters an...

<t> 2/3<br/> <br/> The water was too shallow, and the position was distinctly suboptimal, but the sheer size of the target meant that the shat had to be taken.<br/> <br/> Patrolling around Singapore these days meant that you very seldom saw action, if one doesn’t count crash dives to avoid Japanese ...

<t> 2/2<br/> <br/> Photographic reconnaissance of Sinyang had been reporting an increasing accumulation of aircraft for over a week now.<br/> <br/> The Chinese command did not come close to disposing of the numbers of bombers needed to completely destroy the field, but the decision was made to use t...

So it seems the the kid has colic. She's ok in the morning, but come afternoon she's either eating or screaming. So far, this parenting gig is a blast!
