They know anything about fiber GBIX ports for a switch?

Yoiks!
I suspect very few days pass when I’m content to stay home. I would much rather be working, and the busier I am, the better I like it.
So if I sound a little ugly, it’s because I envy you. ;o]
After particularly strenuous shovelling—say, six inches or better, with drifting—I have hot cocoa with a jigger of peppermint schnapps. The cocoa to warm the body, the booze to relax the muscles before the aches set in. Mmm mmmmm...kinda makes me wish a blizzard were on the way!
No. I’m sure my husband does, but he’s not home.
Golly, that sounds good!
We don’t have to shovel rain, but it does get cold, so I always have cocoa handy. No schnapps, though. I think I’ll have to see if I can find some cinnamon schnapps. In TX, there was some called “Hot Damn.” It was, too....;o]
I actually don't have anything against Wal-Mart (Target is the true enemy), but I do nearly all of my shopping at Meijers. It's a Michigan based, regional, Wal-Mart style store. Good prices, grocery, and all the other departments under one roof. The store layouts are easier to navigate than the local Wal-Marts, and Meijers tends to be better staffed around here.
I spent a lot of time in Lake Orion, right up until I got married. I dated a guy from LO for a couple of years. A fun (but exhausting) way to spend an afternoon or evening was hiking the Paint Creek trail from downtown Rochester all the way into downtown LO. We don't have really long hiking trails like that up here, which is a big, stupid shame. Every community along the Grand has their own river trail, but so far, Lansing and East Lansing are the only cities that have made a point to connect the trails. Even that is pretty short, though, only 5-7 miles.
One of my all-time favorite "record" stores (I've no idea what they're called these days) was Sam's Jams, at the corner of Woodward and 9 mile. We used to skip the first half of any school day in which a long-awaited album was to be released, just so we could pick it up at Sam's.
I can't wait until next summer. We're hoping to spend three or four days in the UP, really checking it out. I knew it was different, but I thought the main differences were in the Yoopers, compared to us Lowpers. We got across the bridge...almost impossible to describe. It's like a Martian landscape.
TC, if you're ever thinking of coming up this way, let me know ahead of time. It's such a beautiful state that not even the UAW, Teamsters, MEA, or the entire population of Detroit can spoil it.
Cinnamon schnapps and butterscotch schnapps both go great with warmed apple cider. The downside, I suppose, is that you really can’t have more than one mugful, or the cider does a number on your belly (and the surrounding atmosphere, if you know what I mean...)
I like cinnamon in cocoa, so that would be my drink of choice. Cinnamon schnapps ~~ well, that stuff, I drink neat.
That guy does a pretty good Clinton.
Yes, he did! Hiya!
Are you still snowbound?
Not so much.
The roads are mostly clear, and I only have 4 more hours to work, tomorrow.
Happy day after winter solstice to you!
Are you all set?
It’s the day before Christmas and Darth says to Luke “I know what you’re getting me. I felt your presents”.
HAH!
Happy longer day to you, too! LOL!
My daughter brought my Christmas present early, yesterday. A new desk. It’s not very big, but at least it’s new. This one...well, it falls apart a little more each day. I don’t understand it, either. It’s only seven years old, and I’ve only moved it six times. ;o]
LOL!
Do you make people shake their presents?
I do now...
A married Russian couple are walking through Red Square when the weather suddenly takes a turn for the worse: “Oh great,” sighs the woman, ‘”snow”. “That’s not snow” protests her husband, “that’s rain!’”
The two continue to disagree and the argument becomes quite heated. Just then, the man spots a communist friend walking on the other side of the street. He shouts to him, “Hey, Rudolph! Is it snowing or raining?” Rudolph looks up to the sky and without hesitation replies, “It’s raining - definitely!”
As he moves on, the man smiles at his wife. “What are you looking so smug about?” she snaps, “that doesn’t prove anything!” “Ah but it does,’ says the man, ‘Rudolph the Red knows rain, dear.”
That’s a thoughtful gift.
Very sweet of her.
Is that what she didn’t have wrapped, that you weren’t allowed to see?
LOL!
That is such a BAD joke!
I’m going to have to send it to my daughter.
:-D
