No problem - now if I could get the link to work to display my sig, I would be a happy woman.

I could have used a few of those this morning - really BAD morning. I came this close (fore finger and thumb really close together) to walking out of my cube this morning and telling them I am done with this place.

Steff - go to your controls and then look down the column for "manage your attachments." There are likely many there - there were a bunch in mine that I didn't know I had. I had to delete them only a few at a time or it would time out.

I am trying to delete the attachments that are noted in my account and whenever I try, it times out - ARGH!

LOL!

QUOTE(TheDybber @ Jan 26, 2005 -> 01:24 PM) Carolina back to Hartford. Go WHALE!!! WHALE!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHALE!, Carolina Hurricanes, White Sox, Patriots, Cardinals (NFL), Packers (it's not easy admitting that one), Senators, Cincy Cyclones (I don't care that they have suspended operations), Bears, Jeff Burton and Ricky Rudd in no particular order.

54% (Dixie). Barely into the Dixie category.

QUOTE(mreye @ Jan 26, 2005 -> 09:52 AM) I can't help but think of Ray Stevens' "The Streak." LMAO! How did I not think of that song?!

LMAO @ Jim's post!

My co-worker emailed that to me this morning. Because I had CDs on, I didn't hear about this during my morning trek. Prayers go out to the familys.

That is an odd story.

I've been in that position as well (I had to watch my gramma, my mom and aunts make the decision). My grampa fell into a coma after a stroke (it was a combo of a stroke and gangreen (sp?)) and there was virtually no chance of recover due to the gangreen. My mom and I visited at least once a week in those three months. It killed me to see him like that - crying from the pain and knowing there was a f***ing thing anyone could do about it. There was a DNR in place so some of the choices were minor comparing to when we (being the oldest grandchild I was included on that decision) had to decide to take my gramma off of life supports. She had a DNR but it was misfiled by the nursing home so the paramedics put her on life supports.

I am glad someone asked. I sat here watching that thing for about 5 minutes.

LMAO!

I keep saying I am going to go back to brush up/continue learning the German language, but haven't. Because of my job if/when I do get to take classes, I will be taking Spanish classes first.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Jan 24, 2005 -> 05:49 PM) what did he do? He is (for all intents and purposes) our plant/engineering manager for the lug division.

Welcome!

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Jan 24, 2005 -> 03:58 PM) Yeah, I was getting ready to comment on the votes that the Patriots have received after the fact. I confess - I was one of them. I wanted to vote for the Pats, but being the jinx that I am, I figured it was better for the Pats if I didn't vote lol.

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Jan 24, 2005 -> 02:29 PM) I agree. I could see if she had any sort of quality of life at all. I have to agree. After watching my grandparents here die, I don't want anyone to have to live through that kind of pain, knowing it isn't going to get better. My parents made the three of us promise that we would never put them on machines if there was no (or only slight) chance for improvement. I don't know if I will be strong enough when the time comes, but I hope I can be.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jan 24, 2005 -> 02:12 PM) The trick is to get in early, before the boom. Make friends with people in city planning and developing or builders. They can give you tips on where things will be in 3-5 years down the road. The houses next to us are going for 400K and up. Ours was appraised at 250K (we begged them to go as low as possible due to taxes and such), but we have been offered 300K and up (no, we aren't selling, but people are convinced ours is one built by the guy doing the new houses). Considering Brian paid 92K, we put 100K in it for additions and such, and since we owe a good bit less than that total, we stand to make a pretty penny if we walk away. (We've been tossing around the idea of moving near Springfield for a couple years now.)
