Seeing Hooker was never going to take the offensive, Lee pulled two more Divisions, those of South Carolinian RH Anderson and Georgian Lafayette McLaws from in front of Hooker and led them himself against Sedgwick in conjunction with Jubal Early. It was to be a day of frustration for Lee, as he could not prod McLaws forward and get the 3 division attack going. Sedgwick withdrew over Banks’ Ford when he lost Marye’s Heights to Early.(Early had a great battle.)
This was the cue for Hooker to call the campaign over and he withdrew over US Ford on the 5th. Casualties were high for the four day battle: 13000 for Lee and 17000 for Hooker. Lee’s proportion was too high, considering he only had 60000 to start with.
Lee and the South had bettered an army twice the size of their own and given Virginia breathing space. Lee’s next move, as it had been in 62, after a victory, was to move North.
Gettysburg awaited.
Jackson would never again be Lee’s “right arm”’ as he passed away on the 10th from complications from his amputation.
His last words were: let us cross over the river and rest in the shade of the trees.
Why can't

It has become apparent that whenever either of these two posts on a board the other seems to jump in to argue one or more points. It makes me laugh, reminds me of my kids or my friends relationship with his wife. Anyways I wondered what others thought was the root cause of this type of relationship?
-
We do agree on occasion…
But we are both highly competitive, and we are the two higheswt post count members of the boards, so we will have more opportunities to disagree with each other than we will have with anyone else.
-
vote, love affair ;)
Funniest option, and as they say…
Love always starts with a fight……
-
How does post count equate with this notion of “competitiveness” ?
A ‘post count’ is a non-sequitur statistic having no meaning whatsoever…
And competing ideas are not a function of the exchange of ideas where many cases thats is only where these differences arise.
I personally don’t think their is any relationship of the two.
-
Post count, games, strategy analysis… all of them are just ways of “keeping score” in a battle to be the best.
At least that is what it is for me; I will not presume to speak for Jen.
As for the whole “lovers” thing…
The only known ‘alleged’ picture of Jen (by her statements from more than a decade ago) shows a female that is very definitely NOT my type (I prefer buxom, curvaceious, and extremely stacked) -

Hah! I knew it, you were born in the wrong century, Switch! (or you’re REALLY old!) That’s what passed for beautiful in the 1700’s!
Anyway, we have agreed in the past, and the space time continuum did not tear asunder, Q was not dispatched to save all mankind and James Bond was not accidentally killed before the villain could wax on eloquently and thus give him plenty opportunity and time to escape. :P
-
LOL, I grew up on pre-Twiggy old hollywood movies when sexy meant CURVES.
I am not even interested if a woman is under a size 12. And she needs to be a 16 with DD’s before I get really interested!
And yep, we have agreed and the Time Lords did not come to correct things…
-
Dr. Who is a wuss! Go Captain Jack! (meet me down by the railroad tracks!)

Or perhaps one of you is actually Sam Beckett during the times you agree?

I think it’s probably a Han Solo - Princess Leia thing…

I think it’s probably a Han Solo - Princess Leia thing…
It could even be a Luke Skywalker - Princess Leia thing, pre-Return of the Jedi. That would qualify for multiple options in the voting list. :mrgreen:
-
Nah, Luke was moony for Leia, Han thought it was funny to piss her off, they both wanted to get into her panties though… I wonder if she wore panties…
-
Not if she was anything like me as a younger girl.

I’m with Switch on this. Women who were more curvacious from back in the day beat any skinny athletic type of today.
As far as Jen’s current pic…. yes, I know it isn’t her, I would never be interested in a woman who wears a casio watch on top of her hand.
-
Maybe they are the same person…
-
Nah… I’m better looking :-D
-
anybody buy those shirts on the right?
are they any good? or do they wash off after 10 cleanings???
and lastly… should i design some for this site?
I can “do” that…
-
Who would buy them?
I mean you can stamp “nerd” in the forehead for free and be done with it :wink:

So, you started wearing panties? Too old to go commando?
