Thank you for the tea. Let's see, twice a month but with no graphics work :::doing calculator:: really makes me about a .362 sister. With the calendar page, that's got to be worth at least .028, bringing me to :::calculator again:: to .39. By my calculations. I've bookmarked the calendar for easy reference and will commence Monday!

I'll do anything for tea and roses! (Actually, I know we drink a lot of coffee here, but tea's my drink. I adore tea.)

Between his drills and his part time job, AND getting ready to go to college Eric doesn't have much spare time!

We got 3 or 4 inches here and it is GORGEOUS! I'm one of those weirdos who loves snow, so this winter has been fabulous, IMO!

HOWEVER, I will pray that it NOT snow on the 21st. :o)

[WVNan]

Go check out post 532 on the fund raiser thread. I fell in the floor laughing. You love snow eh? LOL

I'm not too worried about Daisy staying away from here too long

I mean, Daisy wouldn't be HAPPY if we were totally HAPPY she was going to be a little gone from us for a spell?

It reminds me of a Frost poem, which I somewhat know, and which I think to be about a poet leaving his lover for a spell, at least mentally departing, to work on a poem. (clearing throat):

I left you in the morning
And in the morning glow
You walked a ways beside me
To make me sad to go.

But did you know me gloaming
Sad and dusty grey from roaming?
Are you sad because you know me not
Or sad because you know?

All for me and not a question
For the faded flowers gay
That would keep me from beside you
For the hours of a day?

They are yours [I think the flowers, which I think the poet has left the beloved to keep her company] and be the measure
Of my love for you to treasure,
The measure of the little while
That I've been long away.


Well, anyway, that poem says it for me. Billie says this is supposed to be a happy thread, but at 11:48 p.m. EST perhaps it's late enough to note that I bet Billie didn't try TOO hard to be happy. I know that's what we're all supposed to say. But at the end of thread, howsabout I say what I really feel: I'm happy she's getting out and about on adventure, but it would be silly to think that we're not a little sad in a don't-be-sad-too-and-we're-still-happy-for-you kinda way. I bet no one actually succeeded perfectly in that respect today. As it should be.

Ah, when, to the human heart, was it ever less than treason
To go with the drift of things and yield with a grace to reason
To bow and accept the end of a love or a season.

Good afternoon!

2 way radio is a specialized field just like the cell industry is. They could be interchangable electronics wise but the cell companies have it in their heads radio guys can't transfer into their field. DK has repaired 2 way radios, base stations, and transmitters, from tube to transistor. The latest transmitter switch is called a Trident. He went to school on that about 2 years ago.

He could do contract work as long as he doesn't need an IFR monitor..that sucker is $20,000, it's one of the main dianogistic tools he would use.

He will keep sending out resumes hoping someone will realise his 29 years of knowledge and skills beat out some snot nosed just out of engineering school kid inexperience.

Memphis is dead as a job opportunity in this field. Nextel can be thanked for that.

Your post #204 overwhemed me....Thank you so much.

RE; Calendar page....You are not limited to posting the same calendar page - in fact, my to-do list has included for some time "Look for another possible calendar page site". So if you find another one you wish to use instead, go for it! Change is good! Change is living!

[FreeTheHostages]

"Change is good! Change is living!"

Thanks. I'll shop around. But not *all* change is good and those calendars had just the right feel, I thought, for this thread.

We may as well go patiently on with life
And look elsewhere for the shocks and changes that keep us sane.

Meekie did we miss Elvis's birthday last week?

Oh, yeah ! There was a reminder on the Canteen to me this week and I posted some Elvis stuff there. I thought I also posted it here, but may have slipped up. As soon as the weekend thread is up (I just checked and it's not yet), I've got some Elvis stuff I'll post, ok?...

[MeekOneGOP]

I love this !:

You are SOOOoooo talented !!

[Billie]

I know, I know, but it's the weekend! Here's new thread!

Thanks, Meekie - can't take credit for creating that one though. (the wolfie finds some of the cutest stuff!)

[MeekOneGOP]

Howdy, FRiend !

[iceskater]

YOu can be cranky all you want, as long as you end with a smile. :)

thanks so much. I'm feeling better now! :) :)
