moved to room Meeting Place
changed username to Daniel B
Daniel B: hello Rich!
rich-c: salut, Daniel
Daniel B: How is your back pain?
moved to room Meeting Place
changed username to TheOtherGuy
rich-c: a little better - I was able to go out today
Daniel B: Guy Foster?
TheOtherGuy: yep, the one and only... the other Guy.
rich-c: how's Sandra, Guy?
TheOtherGuy: Ah man, what a day, glad to be able to relax in front of the puter... even if it's for 30 mins or so.
rich-c: that sounds evetful
TheOtherGuy: Sandra's fine, we will be going tomorrow morning at 6:00 AM to get the labor induced. Spent all day at the emergency for my mother today, then tomorrow have to bring her to a geriatric hospital.
rich-c: oh dear - what happened with your mother?
TheOtherGuy: Oh, old age got to ther. :)
Daniel B: Guy, I don't know if you know it, but Rich-c had an accident ... and the result is a terrible back pain.
rich-c: care to be more specific, Guy?
TheOtherGuy: She's been having problems walking for the past few years, and a few weeks ago came to a point where she couldn't get out of bed.
rich-c: what was the problem? strength? balance? illness?
TheOtherGuy: She's been throwing up also for the past few weeks, adn today they found out that she was throwing up blood as well.
rich-c: that is not a good sign. How old is she?
TheOtherGuy: 72
rich-c: that's younger than myself or Frances - she should be holding up better than that
TheOtherGuy: No, not a good sign at all, I know.
TheOtherGuy: Rich: Everyone is different Rich.
TheOtherGuy: Some people croak at 50.
Daniel B: My mother have also a problem to walk... but she try to walk more and more to avoid being paralyzed or something like that... a bad side effect of months of chimiotherapy
rich-c: I'm well aware of that, Guy - the average person of my age is dead
TheOtherGuy: Exacto.
TheOtherGuy: But people ar eliving longer these days
Daniel B: longer , but in health
TheOtherGuy: What happened with ur back?
rich-c: yes, we are. Daniel: your mother had cancer?
rich-c: managed to thoroughly strain a set of muscles, which went into strong revolt
Daniel B: ... my mother got breast cancer last year
TheOtherGuy: Sorry to hear Dan B
Daniel B: I didn't want anyone to know it, I tried to do everything like before... a kind of denied
rich-c: that's scary, Daniel - though they are beginning to find new methods of dealing with it now
Daniel B: Well, the situation is not so bad... my mother is very active, she can walk more kilometers than me in a day.
rich-c: maybe hers was caught early enough, and/or the new therapies work for her - let us pray so
TheOtherGuy: So I have to deal with my wife giving birth and my mother being in intensive care, all in the same day...
Daniel B: walking in stairs for her is very difficult, but walking it's fine.
rich-c: any diagnosis for your mother, Guy - an ulcer, perhaps?
TheOtherGuy: Dan: Yeah, for my mom, just getting out of bed is very hard...
TheOtherGuy: Rich: Perhaps, we will know tomorrow.
rich-c: you could well get lucky, Guy - medicine today is quite advanced even from five years ago
TheOtherGuy: I hope so... really hope so.
Daniel B: I will have to leave soon, I'm testing a few things before leaving my job and return home to continue the powerpoint file for Arcadia.
TheOtherGuy: Still at work? Hope you get paid overtime Dan?
rich-c: that's all you can do - put your head down, cross your fingers, and take life as it comes
rich-c: forget to ask - how is the job going, Daniel?
TheOtherGuy: Rich: How about waving my fist in the air?
Daniel B: overtime doesn't count... only the result count... I simply leave sooner friday
TheOtherGuy: errr, if I work 2 hrs extra at my job, I get paid for 2 hours... no volunteering there. And I get paid time and a half.
rich-c: whatever form of stress relief turns you on, Guy - you surely need it
Daniel B: well, I received new tasks to do in the system we work on during months. Starting new code is not so easy, I always do copy-paste from my other codings to gain time.
TheOtherGuy: Yeah, we all have our little obstacles in life to get through.... it ain't bad, and I shouldnt complain, tomorrow will be a day that I will remember for the rest of my life.
rich-c: that I think is a pretty likely prediction, Guy
TheOtherGuy: my wife and daughter will be 4 days apart in their birthdays.... nice $$$ cost savings there for me! woohoo
rich-c: well, maybe - I always felt sorry for my uncle whose birthday was Dec. 25th
TheOtherGuy: hahaha, poor fellow...
TheOtherGuy: is next year's adamcon in Ottawa an almost sure thing BTW?
rich-c: the family tried to accommodate to it, but were not always successful
rich-c: well, Hull, or Gatineau or whatever it is now
Daniel B: I'm sure you will not be able to resist to buy many gifts for your daugther... and adios cost saving.
TheOtherGuy: ok, that's all good.... great stuff. I know it's far away, but its nice to plan ahead.
TheOtherGuy: I'll buy her computer components. :) :) :)
Daniel B: ... testing phase in progress ...
rich-c: yes, I can make it in a one day drive
TheOtherGuy: which reminds me, I need to get a baseball bat.... to get ready, in case any boys loom around her.
rich-c: Pamela will also be going but staying on after for sightseeing
TheOtherGuy: Hull/Gatineau/Ottawa are nice in summer...
rich-c: yes, we have been there often - Frances lived in Ottawa during the war
TheOtherGuy: WW2?
rich-c: yes, her father was a banker who was seconded to the WPTB
TheOtherGuy: What's WPTB?
rich-c: he had had tuberculosis so armed service was out of the question
rich-c: Wartime Prices and Trade Board - responsible among other things for export/import controls
Daniel B: ... testing phase 2 in progress ...
rich-c: how's it coming so far, Daniel?
Daniel B: phase 2 is generaly the last one... doing a phase 3 is not a good sign.
moved to room Meeting Place
changed username to Pamela
Daniel B: good evening Pam!
rich-c: and so did phase 2 come out right?
rich-c: hi daughter
TheOtherGuy: G'day Pam!
Pamela: Hi there
Pamela: small crowd tonite
rich-c: (PRIVATE) careful with Guy - his mother is VERY ill
TheOtherGuy: yeah, can't stay for long either...
Pamela: (PRIVATE) 'kay
TheOtherGuy: need to unwind before going to sleep.
Pamela: Guy, what's the word on fatherhood?
rich-c: trouble is, you start talking and time flies so fast
TheOtherGuy: tomorrow 6:00 am
Pamela: ??
rich-c: they're inducing labour - so, doctors' hours
Pamela: ahhhh
Daniel B: * shit *
Pamela: 'scuse me?
Daniel B: ... testing phase 3 in progress ...
TheOtherGuy: shit?
rich-c: I gather there will be a phase 3, Daniel
rich-c: English for merde, Guy ;-)
Pamela: : )
Daniel B: lol
Pamela: so congrats are in order to you both then, Guy
Pamela: do you know the gender?
Daniel B: things are not going good for me tonight... but, at least, it's the last phase.
TheOtherGuy: Yeah, it's a girl. Thanks
TheOtherGuy: !
rich-c: well, officially, we should withhold them till tomorrow, but...
rich-c: anyway congrats from here too
Pamela: I'll be back in a minute
rich-c: have you got her named yet, Guy?
TheOtherGuy: Yup, her name will be Tamara Lori Foster
Daniel B: :/
Daniel B: the result of the last phase is not bad, but not good too
rich-c: sounds good to me - I think over time it will work well for her and she will like it
Daniel B: too bad, I will continue tommorow
TheOtherGuy: She can choose Lori if Tamara is too unconventional for her...
Daniel B: I better leave now before I start sleeping infront of the computer.
rich-c: sleep on it, Daniel, and maybe you'll figure out where the glitch is
Daniel B: I think I'm the glitch... I need a good sleep. zzz zzz
Pamela: get some rest, Daniel
Daniel B: goodnight!
Daniel B: bonne nuit!
Pamela: g'nite!
Daniel B: talk to you next week
TheOtherGuy: gnight Dan, think I will do the same too.
rich-c: then get yourself some sleep, Daniel
Daniel B: aurevoir
Daniel B: * p o o f *
Daniel B left chat session
TheOtherGuy: ker.... POOF
TheOtherGuy left chat session
rich-c: good-night and take care, Daniel
Pamela: well, that was short and sweet
Pamela: guess what Dad
rich-c: whoops, we lost Guy as well
rich-c: you'll have to tell me, Pam
rich-c: want to hang about and see if Bob, Guy B., Ron, james, or Dr. D. turn up?
moved to room Meeting Place
changed username to Pamela
Pamela changed username to Pamela V.
rich-c: oh, you fell off?
Pamela V. requested to ban Pamela
rich-c confirmed ban
Pamela V.: got dropped is more like it
Pamela V.: what's with Tamco recently, anyway???
Pamela V.: starting to get pissed off with this
rich-c: I don't know, I don't even know if it's them
rich-c: getting dropped off chat is usually Dale's server
Pamela V.: well, the Adamcon website loaded just fine, but Tamco homepage never completed loading
rich-c: Ma Bell has been having cable trouble of late, too
Pamela V.: couple weeks ago it was the e-mail server, and a couple of weeks before that, same thing
rich-c: yes, there were problems on the email - have to ask John about that
Pamela V.: when I tried to connect the other day I got on after three tries, only to get 7200 bps
Pamela V.: which was useless
Pamela V.: oh, and I called John on the e-mail problem last time, and he never called me back
Pamela V.: starting to get really annoyed with this
rich-c: maybe you should give John a call, see what he has to say - he will be straight with you
rich-c: John not calling back is very unusual
Pamela V.: it's not such a bargain if half your service doesn't work
Pamela V.: my connection speed right now is 45333 bps
Pamela V.: still not so hot
rich-c: obviously and absolutely - though longterm I've found the service to be highly reliable
Pamela V.: it has been till recently but don't forget, I'm still a dial-up customer
Pamela V.: he doesn't make any money off me
rich-c: you are not going to see 56K very often in the real world, telecommunications don't work that way
Pamela V.: still, I've been up at 48 or 49000 most of the time
rich-c: for all we know he may make more profit off dialup than off DSL
Pamela V.: I doubt that when DSL is more than twice the price, plus rental of the modem
rich-c: where are you reading your connection speed, btw?
Pamela V.: in my whaddyacallit window at the bottom where it shows I'm connected (or not)
rich-c: well, I don't rent the modem, and he has to pay Ma Bell much more for the DSL line
rich-c: right, I forget that Windows 98 showed it there
Pamela V.: anyway I'm tired and cranky so probably not the best time to think about it
Pamela V.: before I got dumped, started to tell you, guess what I found?
rich-c: know what you mean - meanwhile, our answering machine went kaput today
rich-c: what did you find?
Pamela V.: my five bucks
Pamela V.: right where I dropped it (in the puddle)
rich-c: good - where was it?
rich-c: at the gas station?
Pamela V.: yup
Pamela V.: guess everyone was so busy getting gas last night they didn't bother to inflate their tires or vacuum the car
rich-c: at any station, that area is little used, especially on a rainy night
Pamela V.: I was trying to be philosophical about it, but I must admit I was annoyed
Pamela V.: was very pleased with my self when I found it
rich-c: and were accordingly pleased to find it
rich-c: anyway, I was able to take 6your mother shopping, even went into the store
Pamela V.: Russell got a good laugh out of it. Both of us reacted with "son of a gun".
Pamela V.: that's good!
rich-c: even got over to get my hair cut - at last!
Pamela V.: I must admit you were starting to look a little shaggy
moved to room Meeting Place
changed username to rich-1
Pamela V.: so did you dump yourself?
rich-1: man, I just got the plug pulled on me, like totally
rich-1: I don't even know - it killed Firefox completely
Pamela V.: whoops
rich-1: don't know what it takes to do that
Pamela V.: anyway, I must say you were starting to look a little shaggy around the edges
rich-1: oh yes, the answering machine died because Hydro came by to change our meter
rich-1: yes, and I don't think the sheepdog look becomes me
Pamela V.: huh? explain please
Pamela V.: I like my handsome Daddy with short hair
rich-1: since the laptop has a battery and the desktop has a UPS, we didn't lose anything there
Pamela V.: was it a surge?
rich-1: oh, Ontario is going to these new spy meters that report your consumption by hour of the day
rich-1: no, the guy just walked up to the side of the house, pulled out the old meter and screwed in the new one
Pamela V.: so how did that kill the answering machine?
moved to room Meeting Place
changed username to BobS
Pamela V.: Hi, Bob
BobS: well, this is new
rich-1: that's a good question, daughter, to which I have no answer
BobS: where the H is everyone lately????
Pamela V.: you missed Daniel and Guy Foster, Bob
rich-1: bout time you showed up, Slopsema 8-)
Pamela V.: Daniel was still at work doing some testing, and was testy : )
Pamela V.: Guy and Sandra have to be at the hospital at 6:00 am so she can be induced so he wanted to get some rest
rich-1: and Guy's mother had to be rushed to emergency today, and Sandra is due tomorrow
BobS: well.......
Pamela V.: Tamara Lori Foster should be born sometime tomorrow
BobS: we had free tickets to a movie we just HAD to use
BobS: whassa matter w/ Guy's mom?????
Pamela V.: so what did you see?
rich-1: there's a movie worth seeing, Annie Oakleys or no?
BobS: which one?????/
BobS: new Clont eastwood produced movie about Iwo Jima.........
rich-1: she was weak and vomiting up blood
BobS: can't member the name
BobS: GuyB or GuyF ?
Pamela V.: It's called Raising the Flag, I believe
rich-1: Flags of our fathers, maybe?
Pamela V.: Guy F
BobS: RICH you GOT it
Pamela V.: that's right
BobS: that man has one full plate of hospital stuff then
rich-1: they have been advertising it on the football games last few days
BobS: don't waste your hard earned cash is my suggestion
rich-1: yes, his mother is only 72 but apparently in rough shape
Pamela V.: no plans to, thank you
BobS: story line about the father of the main character and flashed back and forth like crazy....hard to follw
Pamela V.: the next movie I see in the theater will probably be HP and the Order of the Phoenix
Pamela V.: Dad, two commercials I want to ask you if you've seen
BobS: ok....we got free ticket to a preview showing...SO we had to go you know......FREE
Pamela V.: 1) - the VIA Rail commercial with the guy who's snoring
Pamela V.: 2) the RBC First commercial with the mini 767
Pamela V.: seen either one?
Pamela V.: well at least you didn't waste your money, Bob
rich-1: possibly, but you know I turn the sound off and sometimes take a potty break or something when commercials are on
rich-1: I know VIA has been advertising, and may be have seen the RBC one
Pamela V.: okay - I have the RBC one on tape - gotta show it to you and Mom - see if you agree with me when you see it that the plane looks like my old Fisher Price plane
Pamela V.: and I think you and Mom will get a hoot out of the VIA one
Pamela V.: sorry Bob, unfortunately they're both Canadian commercials
rich-1: I'm sure they'll be running it this weekend anyway, maybe I'll let the sound run
rich-1: yes, this Saturday there are three football games - 1 p.m. to 10 p.m.
Pamela V.: Bob, where did you get the preview passes?
Pamela V.: my God Dad, you'll have square eyes and a numb bum
rich-1: I suspect I may give one of the Saturday games a pass
BobS: thas ok, I was off looking at the wedding website of the couple we must attend thsi weekedn
rich-1: BC at Hamilton does not promise to be a classic
Pamela V.: <snicker>
BobS: Judy's dad go them from his doctor today
Pamela V.: I guess it pays to have connections : )
rich-1: trouble is, there's overlap between Formula 1 and CCWS on Sunday
BobS: and , needless to say, after being in WW2 himself and almost expiring, he didn't want the tickets
rich-1: that figures
moved to room Meeting Place
changed username to Guy B.
Pamela V.: the flag raising has become quite symbolic for the Americans
Pamela V.: Hi, Guy
Guy B.: Greetings!!!
rich-1: the greatest pacifist I even knew was my uncle - who served four years as a machine gunner on the Western Front
Guy B.: Rich, how is your back?
Pamela V.: the did it at the Murrah building in OK and at Ground Zero too
rich-1: at last a little improvement, Guy - I was able to take Frances shopping today
Pamela V.: Uncle Dick?
rich-1: yes, haven't you seen his service record? I have it
Guy B.: That's good.
Pamela V.: no - must remember to ask to see it
rich-1: even managed to get over to get myself a haircut - found a safe parking place within the distance I could walk
Guy B.: I got hit with a sinus infection last week. I'm better now and I'll be able to take my vacation next week. Starting to pack things for the move.
rich-1: Move?
Pamela V.: are they moving you while you're on vacation, Guy?
Pamela V.: the office move Dad
rich-1: oh right, the move on the job - I'd forgotten
Guy B.: My office from the 3rd to the 12th is next week.
rich-1: what will you do with your vacation time, Guy?
Pamela V.: you won't be able to find anything when you get back, Guy : )
Guy B.: That's why I can pack now and I'll be all moved by the time I come back.
rich-1: that's why he's doing the packing now, Pam
Pamela V.: my last office move took me three days
Guy B.: Sure I will. I'll have two boxes that I packed waiting for me to unpack.
Pamela V.: at Speedy, that is
Pamela V.: TWO BOXES????
Guy B.: With the stuff I have. Yes, most of will need two.
Guy B.: I still haven't seen the new office yet.
Pamela V.: I have more stuff in my desk drawers than that!
rich-1: as in that's the personal stuff, files and machines are the movers' worry?
Guy B.: I still have to go through two more drawers and those will be packed up next. And a some file holders on my desk.
Guy B.: Most my personal stuff I bought home, since I won't need it at work.
rich-1: surprised at how much had accumulated over the years, Guy?
Pamela V.: just too efficient for words, Guy : )
Pamela V.: when I left Speedy, I brought home three boxes worth of stuff
Pamela V.: and most of it's still in the boxes : )
Guy B.: It was worse with the last move. But, some my co-workers have more than I do.
rich-1: you should unpack them, Pam - never know what's living in there by now
BobS: well, what was in the boxes??? not too important if you haven't looked at it, eh?
Guy B.: I'm going to have a busy day tomorrow though.
rich-1: well, you have till Friday to get the job done, right?
Pamela V.: all sorts of stuff - personal files and documentation, things like paper sorters I bought over the years, magazines with useful stuff in them, that sort of thing
Pamela V.: pictures, cartoons
Pamela V.: stuffed critters
BobS: da man say..."if you haven't looked at it in ONE year, throw it out!" like anyone like us can do that
rich-1: that's OK - I suspect we have stuff hasn't been opened since we moved into our house - in 1964
Pamela V.: that's what I'm working on now, Bob - it all lives in the back room here and I've lost the floor back here
BobS: ahso
Pamela V.: I know we have boxes that haven't been opened since we moved in January 1997
Guy B.: Bob, raining out by you right now?
rich-1: that's why she wants a laptop, Bob - no room any more for a desktop
Pamela V.: but I'm a packrat, I come from two packrats and I'm married to a packrat, so I'm officially sunk
Pamela V.: LOL, Dad
rich-1: at least you come by it honestly, Pam
Pamela V.: I just wish I'd gotten the organization gene from Mom too
Pamela V.: apparently that skipped a generation
rich-1: Bob, did you or Guy get any of that snowstorm last week?
BobS: raining like crazy when we got out of the movie about 9:45, now just asteady rain
Pamela V.: be right back
BobS: YES< we did, but we are NOT bragging about it......had about 3" here, the only good thing is the roads didn't slick over
Guy B.: We got a little snow and it broke a record for the earliest October for snow. But, it melted later.
rich-1: you're lucky - in Buffalo and Fort Erir they got over two feet, power still isn't back for some
rich-1: we got the barest symbolic dusting - I was in the shower so missed it all
BobS: yes, I saw that, bummer to be in Buffalo
Guy B.: I heard about Buffalo's snow out there. They always get so much out there.
rich-1: being located where they are on Lake Erie, they get to define lake effect
Guy B.: Annie went to see the vet today. Got her eyes checked and a nail trim. Jeanene took her along with her cat, Zoe.
rich-1: a bit of the Niagara peninsula gets the same treatment
rich-1: sounds like the livestock is in pretty good condition then
rich-1: for you to remember, Bob abd Guy - GuyF's mother was taken to hospital today, vomiting blood
rich-1: Sandra is to have labour induced at 6 AM tomorrow - daughter's name will be Tamara Lori Foster
rich-1: Daniel's mother is just out of chemotherapy for breast cancer
rich-1: we will have a couple of very worried Quebecers on our hands for the next little while
BobS: man, people are SICK around here.......including YOU Richard, but ont he mend
Guy B.: Yes indeed.
rich-1: not exactly sick, Bob, just in a sort of temporary disrepair
rich-1: buzzed out of my mind on codeine, and moving with difficulty, but it's going away
rich-1: however severe, I don't count a pulled muscle as being sick
BobS: ok will let you off the hook on that one then
BobS left chat session
rich-1: it's like our heart troubles - they slow us down but don't stop us
Guy B.: Looks like we lost him.
rich-1: well, Daniel got booted at one point, I did too, and Pamela, so guess it's his turn
rich-1: anyway Guy, what are you planning for your holiday?

changed username to RobertoAGAIN
Guy B.: He's back.
RobertoAGAIN: si I am BACK
RobertoAGAIN: got myself lost there I did
rich-1: all the rest of us have been dropped, it was his turn
Guy B.: I'm planning to stay at home. Catch up with a few things and get my car serviced.
RobertoAGAIN: thas what happens when you start Xing screens
Pamela V.: and I'm back (high on bleach fumes, but back)
Guy B.: Laundry day.
Pamela V.: no, bathroom day
Pamela V.: I was too tired tonite to contemplate laundry
Guy B.: Oh, no wonder. I don't use bleach when cleaning mine.
Pamela V.: oh for a house where I don't have to lug laundry up and down five floors
Guy B.: Except with Softscrub. That's the exception.
rich-1: yes, Guy, I need some service too - slow leak in the front tire
Pamela V.: Lysol toilet bowl cleaner with bleach and Fantastick with bleach
RobertoAGAIN: that will NOT stop the tire from leaking..............
Pamela V.: and no ventilation - now you know why I'm high : )
Guy B.: I need an oil change, tire due to be rotated. Some checks that might be covered with the vehicle maintenance program I have.
rich-1: fortunately (since I can't bend) Pamela took it over and got it blown up last night
Guy B.: Pam, does your bathroom have a window?
Pamela V.: that was funny - was telling M & D last night that I had a $5.00 bill in my pocket which fell out at the gas station
Pamela V.: (yes it has a window, it's just not open)
Pamela V.: I went back to look for it later, and it was still there - wet, from the puddle it fell in, but still there
Guy B.: That would help with the fumes or a fan vent.
Pamela V.: Ya, I know - my bad
rich-1: our weather is not an inducement to open windows right now, Guy
Guy B.: I know it's colder up there by you.
RobertoAGAIN: but, but. fresh air si good for you
Pamela V.: finally did warm up this afternoon to about 16 C
Pamela V.: but it's dropped again with the sunset
rich-1: supposed to be semi-decent tomorrow too - Frances is going to the needlecraft show
Guy B.: Annie is right behind me on the couch. I'm on the notebook tonight.
RobertoAGAIN: today warmed up nicely for Oct but crapped out again with the rain tonight
rich-1: I still can't adapt comfortably to the keys on my notebook, they just never feel right
Pamela V.: I hope so, I'm tired of rain. I emptied about two cups of water from the bottom of the car door last night too
Guy B.: We have more rain coming for the weekend.
rich-1: oh goody - that you certainly don't need - but at least it shows the drain is open
RobertoAGAIN: in Grand Rapids so far this month of October we have had over 11 inches of water and about 1/2-1" tonight
Guy B.: We really had a wet fall this year.
RobertoAGAIN: ya mon
Pamela V.: it stems from the broken window I had years ago - when they broke the window, they bent the flashing back and now whenever it rains for extended periods or I take it thru a carwash, I get door slosh
Pamela V.: thank goodness the car doesn't have power windows or locks : )
rich-1: I just looked at the wesather radar and it doesn't show anything near you, Bob
rich-1: you are though at the edge of the screen so something may be missing
RobertoAGAIN: supposed to rain into tomorrow am
RobertoAGAIN: dont' hear it right now......
Pamela V.: well send it north or something, Bob - just not east
rich-1: well, there's a big patch of rain up centred around Sault Ste. Marie headed our way
Pamela V.: oh, charming
Guy B.: Well folks, I know I came on late tonight. But, I'm calling it the night. So, talk to you all next week.
Pamela V.: gnite Guy - relax and enjoy your vacation

Pamela V.: good heavens, why?

RobertoAGAIN: well. D&M are a puzzle, they are still not on the straight and narrow, some good days and alot of bad days
RobertoAGAIN: something they need to work out in their own time I guess
RobertoAGAIN: croicheted it too tight
rich-1: big hurts take big time to get over
RobertoAGAIN: the GOOD news is, this hobby is cheap for me, because she keeps using the same thread
Pamela V.: LOL Bob
RobertoAGAIN: days are better for D&M, but you are right, it takes time
rich-1: but what will happen when she gets it right?
RobertoAGAIN: especially because of the time to get there and fact of loosing Nikki
RobertoAGAIN: she will just smile and be proud.
RobertoAGAIN: and I will smike and be rich
RobertoAGAIN: smile
RobertoAGAIN: this is the cheapest hobby she ever had
rich-1: how was your holiday upstate?

RobertoAGAIN: counted
rich-1: yes, we did reasonably well weather-wise in the Michigan segments of our trip
Pamela V.: did you have good colour? Ours has been amazing - lots of red this year, far more than usual
RobertoAGAIN: but Clee's all good things must end, and so too this chat
RobertoAGAIN: great color up north by Mac bridge
