My wife has a big speech today - anniversary of the loss of the USS THRESHER. It's what basically started the program she oversees. I told her I'd sit I the audience and make faces at her.
Are you talking about the SUBSAFE program? I know that program. I showed a video about it to all of my employees to emphasize the importance of making sure our parts conformed to all specifications.
That was an amazingly effective video. (and sad too.)
Grrrr - Missed an important phone call 2 hours ago - waiting for a call back now. Need positive waves/blessings that it is good news.You got 'em brother.
What he said.

I am just a great big ball of hostility at the moment.
Just remember, soon...Houston becomes FAWTL Mecca!
:D
Do you like pulled pork bbq?
You knock 'em dead Shiny. (then AZ can NOM! on their bodies).
I hope everyone will have a good day. And much as it's the mid-point in the working week with the up-tick to the weekend, it will be for those FaWtL that need it; turning the corner in their searches - whether for employment, love, health, happiness or just feeling more positive.

After over a year of trying, I've finally managed to book a show. I'm going to be sharing a basement stage with three of the biggest indie/punk bands in Syracuse. The show is in three days. Consider me terrified.
Congrats Shiny! That's really good news, and don't be nervous, just pretend you're jamming for the kids in my living room. :P

I would come if I could. Go for it shiny!
Gratz dude. Good luck.

Yep. My wife is the director of the program here in Philly. And it was probably the same video we were showed yesterday. What's more, there's an older employee here in Philly who was actually crew on the follow-up sister boat to THRESHER. She might try and get him to speak next year.
I was speaking with our intern yesterday, and he informed me he doesn't drink. WTF?!?
A 20-something who doesn't drink? Something is very wrong here.
*raises hand*
Solidarity for your intern. =)
This is my 3 month cameo on the FAWTL thread. You may now resume your regularly-scheduled activities.

It...it's like....like I don't know you anymore!!!

Which is funny because it's usually the guy who does drink whose personality changes depending on sobriety level ;)

I plan to catch up on the goings-on here this afternoon. :)
In the meantime, I've got Flash's new shield and a couple of monsters for your enjoyment/amusement/bafflement/what-have-you:

I'm going to use that wasp in my games as a major threat to any Aranea or Arachne PCs.

I don't see myself moving to Houston anytime soon, but the new job will involve a fair amount of business travel after the first 6 to 9 months of getting up to speed. (My willingness to travel was one of the things that helped get me the job.) Perhaps I may find myself in town at some point :)travel to, say, Germany?
Sadly, no. Since I am working on retirement accounts, they are entirely dependent on US tax codes. Domestic travel only.

Got some more shopping done yesterday. I went to Macy's to check out suits and overcoats, and they had a rack of wool overcoats that they were in the process of putting away for the season. I snagged a London Fog overcoat at 50% off. Sweet. I won't have a use for it until the winter, but that coat would cost a whole lot more if I waited until Fall to buy it.
Then spent most of the day outside after the shopping was done. A great day off, even if a busy one.

I still think you need to find the drink that's right for you. Wine and mead offer so much variety, I'm sure you'll find something you enjoy. In moderation of course.

See above.
It's not about enjoyment. It's a combination of religious reasons and a dislike of any loss of control, no matter how minor.

There are US army/air force bases in Germany & the UK.... with plenty of Servicemen.
:P(You know if you ever want to visit)

I really don't like the buzz. At all. Taste isn't the issue here.

Same. I had a near-panic attack just from the early tingly/dizzy feeling of laughing gas. That kind of thing is a phobia for me.

They have military pensions. These retirement accounts are for for-profit businesses only.
(I do want to visit!)

I hadn't heard of USS THRESHER and just read about it on Wiki. Wow. Just wow. Makes me appreciate good engineering.
