Sounds good boss!
Gives me a chance to catch up on your other thread! I'm,..... WAAAAY behind! ;P
I'll check in fairly frequently, say hi and all.
Laters,...
Shablammy!
Waiting is not a problem; I expect to still be around; just let us know somehow when there is an update so my bird brain chick can rock the world.
The waiting is the hardest part.
Hola! Hey Kruelaid, how is the lady by you doing with the thyroid?
She's cool.
Her husband works with me here in China, and she lives in Korea (It's a one hour flight) and she'll come over to China to visit him next week.
It sounds like things are pretty smooth for for her.
Awesome, that's good to hear. Thyroids are a biyotch to regulate, it would appear.
They are indeed.
Did everyone have a good Thanksgiving? Eat too much turkey, all that jazz?
Hey, how do you celebrate Thanksgiving when your living in CHina? Or do you even try? ;)

Welcome back, happy holidays all. ;) Everyone still interested in getting back up and running?
"R...r...r...frackin' ready!"
"Wake up Radik."
I'm sure you've already thunk this, B-man, but may I propose you move the narrative on a bit and bring everyone together, because we left off in a bit of confusion. Added time off = big muddle, "where the frack is I?".
"I know where I am. Right here."
*Ziiiing*
<Sends a flea toward Shenker.>
"F...f...f... eat up!"
"hrrmmm.....reciprocity is a mo*&^%$#@*er..."

Agreed. I've been thinking of a few other minor deviations as well to line everything up. Not a reboot, just a few pokes in the butt wih a sharp stick.
Daintily places the verminous arthropod in Radik's left nostril.
The flea twitches several times and dies. The tiny squeak may have been vapors escaping from the insect's body, or perhaps a tiny dying shriek. Whatever. The bug drops from Radik's nose, becoming invisible on the sandy ground.
"Radik....you awake?"
*BRAAAAP*
checks my bow and arrows; flexes my claws
ready!
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Quit rattling your bone boxes. You barmy lot of sods'll be penned in the dead book if you don't stow it.
"Declaration: This one... not this one."
Wakey! Wakey!
"Silly softskin, us kreen never sleep."

Ferris Beeler's Day Off
LOL
"HMm?! Wha,... Of course I'm awake! Dragon-Kings preserve me from the terminally uneducated!"
"Wake up lazy rock! It's time to go to work! Why didn't you TELL me they were moving?!?'
Whats moving; just dust and trash and little guys lips?
Ferris Beeler's Day Off
Sweet Jesus I hate that movie, and I've never even seen it. Sorry for the holdup, they've been laying off people from our division and I've been batting cleanup. Will try to get things moving soon.
Heh. Actually, I Loved that movie when I first saw it. (What, 20 years ago?!? sheesh!) SO I may not like it as much anymore. But in my minds eye it's a lot better than at least some of the CR@P he's made since then!
Good luck batting cleanup! I'll keep checking in,... with my rock,...
You okay B-man?
Just dropping a quick line in both PBP discussion threads:
Sorry about the lack of updates, they laid a few people off at work and it has been crazy, not to mention even if I could get extra time there, the new routing prevents me from hitting the boards (the boards being down all the time hasn’t helped, either).
I’m working on the problem though, and hope to be able to start updating again soon. Option A is getting an AT&T cellular modem, but in order to justify the cost I’d have to drop my subscription, which offends my sensibilities (stopping payment on a company’s product so I can pay another company to make use of company 1’s free services). Option B might take a couple of weeks, but I’ve been thinking of getting a Kindle for a while and using the EV-DO browsing as there is a Sprint repeater over my head.
We finally closed on a new AWD vehicle, and I have a rebate check coming from it, I just have to try justifying buying something for myself when what we really need is a new roof. Ah well, just letting everyone know I’m still here and thinking about you! Sorry for the delay.
that lay off thing is going around; sheesh; they laid-off a lot of peeps at my work too; are marketing guys need to find us some customers fast; yikes; we are all kind of holding our breath.
It's bad; financapololypse everywhere you look. Everything is on sale, but who has any money to buy it? Buying a car when jobs are on shaky ground scares the hell out of me. Took a lot of legwork, but we managed to get a great rate thanks to how anal we are about our credit.
You don't have to tell me!
We bought a friggin' house based entirely on the fact that my wife finally had a decent (paying) job,... and it didn't work out. :(
Calling us a 'little nervous' right now is like calling HItler a 'little militaristic'.
Good luck to everybody, just keep us informed MWB. I hope to have time to catch up on all the OTHER threads I haven't been reading lately!
Yeah, right, that's gonna happen,... ;P
<Aso pulls out his Merisel blow up doll and starts humping it frenetically.>
Well, my life has been in turmoil for about the last 3 years; so what is happening now and over the last six months has hardly made me blink. i still have a job today, still have a little cash in pocket; so am living for today; not worrying about tomorrow. Seems like the Prez wants to create a lot of contruction jobs, wonder how many people can do road, bridge and public works construction.
At least you dont have to do it in Dark Sun's intense heat, sun and wind. DS is one world and world economy I wouldnt want - ever, fun to play in though; hope it starts up again.
The stimulus package gets so much hype, it makes you want to get fired so you can get benefits and a sweet construction job.
It stimulates my package....hrrrrmmm.
It stimulates my package....hrrrrmmm.
OW!
THERE's an image that will haunt me!Excuse me while I poke myself in my mind's eye!
;P
How you think I feel? Hrrmmm?...
