Oh Suzete...
{{{{{{{{Suz}}}}}}}}
That was a squidge, btw. They are better than hugs.
I never had to take the Kobayashi Maru test until now. What do you think of my solution?O'hana means family, and family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten. My Story Recovered!

weaver - I missed all that, no surprise. I always miss the forum dramas.
About the fires - our satellite feed has been off the last week. I'm looking now...

Some dramas are best missed, I believe. I wish I could have missed a lot of mine! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />
Suzete: A hearty welcome!
weaver: Thanks, I think! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I saw that movie ages ago, before d-day. I was much less clued in in those days than I like 2 think I am now. I musta missed that message about the handshake.
I hope 2 meet you and GB someday, 2. With some advance warning, I can probably show you some flight hardware that will be on Mars someday.

Suzete, Tell us how you are.
I missed whatever happened, you can talk about it or not. It really doesn't matter.
Just come and talk. This is a great place for that. Relax, watch the fire, and get warm. What does matter is that the campfire is a safe, soothing place to share. I hope you come around.
Tell your Hubby "hi" for us. He's a good man.
Weaver said: I loved Jesus because it made me immensely happy to know that there was at least one person on this planet who was so holy, so good, and in knowing there was, it made God a possibility for me. Now of course I am grown and read of others in other cultures.
I have come to believe that there is nothing so important as finding God. It's not for him, it's for us. It's hard to put what you learn about God into words. When we are used to looking at a physical world, and using physical proofs for things, it's hard to get a handle on "living by faith."
I like what 2long wrote 2. I like 2long.

Suzete sent an email this morning asking me to thank you all for your kindness, but because of the nasty names she was called, and the bullying, and the way it has affected her, her DH doesn't want her posting here any longer.
She also wanted to let everyone know that they are very happy and are going on a second honeymoon in two weeks to Mauritius.
(we'll both be honeymooning at the same time. stars will definitely be shining brightly across the atmosphere then. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Mauritius (Africa), how wonderful is that. I looked it up on the web and it looks absolutely gorgeous. Wow! Good for them.
I didn't tell you guys that GB sang the song "Yellow" by Coldplay for me on our wedding...'look at the stars, look how they shine for you, and everything that you do, they are all yellow" LOL He always sings that song and then laughs out loud, the song just seems to tickle him to no end.
We got married under a gigantic old Ash tree (GB cals it the hanging tree). My spike heels sank into the soft ground during the vows and when I tried to turn around and walk away from the minister, I tripped and fell. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> I had to take the dang things off on the way up to the tree. Should have left them off, I guess.
We had a pianist at the dinner reception who played the theme to the Titantic for us, and everyone danced. That was the extent of the music we had, but that's okay.
I'll have pictures soon, I hope. Want you all to see how pretty the island was that day. And how cute my hubby is!

Oh Weave...
You are very *punny*!
Turns out the mush head was because I was virulent.
I had/have strep.
Mmmmm.
Jello for lunch.
There's always room for Jello.

It looks like I have no excuse - oh well.
Kimmy, I hope you are well, or that you get well soon. Really, I do.
Weaver sounds happy. Don't you think?
Graycloud sounds busy. I hope it's that.
2long sounds busy 2.
The more you talk, the easier it is to hear your sound.
We had rain this morning. I bet 2long had it 2 days ago. Does the roof leak 2?

Busy is right. I can't begin to describe it.
Friday/Saturday I raced in a 24-hour mountain bike relay. I took shifts riding at 6:30 P.M., 11:00 P.M., 3:30 A.M., 8:00 A.M., and 12:30 P.M. Brutal event. Riding a bicycle uphill through the woods while getting rained on at 4 A.M. is hard to call fun.
We had an awesome crew backing us up. Every time one of us left to do his lap, our D.J. (yeah we had a D.J.) would send us off with the Rocky theme.
For me, at the end of each of my laps, he played "No Woman No Cry".
Sunday we celebrated my old man's 75th birthday. I went to his church (he loves it when I do that) and we threw a big party after.
This week I'll work 12-hour days 'cause my office is holding a workshop.
I know I've been in my house during the month of August, but I've pretty much always been asleep those times.

Me?
Yeah, I'm busy 2. I shouldn't be posting, I should be reading and reviewing. Long days. Only 1.5 of them so far, but our group is flying through the list as a result.
We may get done early. If so, I just may hie myself on up 2 Milwaukee in the ol' rental car and take a pic2re of myself and Gertie for the MB Photo album!

I love Milwaukee.

Yea on your bike ride, Gray. What an accomplishment!

Good Grief Gray, I bought my bike to have fun. What exactly ARE you calling it? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
Happy B day to your father. I suspect he must have done something right - or did you turn out this good on your own?
Hi Kimmy !!
Hi 2long !! Now get back to work !
Hi Faithful !!
Ok, - hi Everyone !!!

Well...
Looks like we're going 2 finish a whole day early, so...
faced with the decision of staying another night in a hotel so I can go see a bronze duck, versus going home a day early and having a 4 day weekend at home...
I'm going home!
You think Gertie will forgive me?

New blog updated, for those that are interested in my mundane life. Blog Homemade hamburgers and organic chips for dinner, SS. My 'mater plant is still growing like crazy. A gf came over at lunch today...says it looks like a mutant...LOL. I think it's cos I tell it to "GROW dernit!" on a daily basis.

2long, I don't think you will break Gertie's stone cold heart. She couldn't care less. She has so many admirers that her vanity gets the best of her sometimes.
However, if you were to choose to take off and avoid MBland, we would miss you.

Saw this in my Modal A club's newsletter. Anybody else here old enough to remember the Burmashave signs?
"Don't lose your head
To Gain a minute
You need your head
Your brains are in it.

Wall Drug in South Dakota does the Burmashave sign thing for a couple hundred miles each direction on Interstate 90.
And if you keep pushing East you can visit the Corn Palace in Mitchell SD. A must on everyone's list before they die.
Good times.
Testosterone boys! Testosterone! It ain’t just for nose, ear and back hair anymore!

Kimmy, where do you get time to blog?
Oh wait - I see you don't post daily.
Still..........
I expect dinner begins at the usual time?
