Hey y'all... I wanted to thank everyone for the birthday wishes. 'Preciate it! I know I've been AWOL for a while but I guess everyone understands why; The holidays are extremely tough sometimes under these circumstances, but I am very grateful that my son is home to share them with us...

Hi all... I'm sorry for my strange absence on the thread recently, as well as the cryptic messages about my 'troubles'. I don't like to burden others with my personal struggles, however it was suggested to me that my DIS friends would want to know what has happened. Last Sunday, my brother...

Yes Cheri, Christmas presents! :santa: There's a joke in there somewhere about me 'stuffing your stocking'... but hey, this is a family board. :lmao:

You're right Betsy, I do have too much going on right now to deal with the vacation video. I apologize to everyone but I have to put it on hold until I can get through a personal crisis. I have a difficult road ahead for the next few weeks or so, and suddenly a vacation DVD seems completely...

No need to be afraid. Just don't let your kids see the adult version. If you don't want me to send one specifically to them... I take cash, and accept most major credit cards. ;) :happytv:

Slowly but surely. This Mac is giving me fits. It just can't keep up with this new software and keeps crashing it. Must to be buying a new Mac Pro. Cha-ching! Tell leetle McPeeper I will try to live up to her expectations. Might not be as funny as the last one though (at least not the kid's...

Johnna - You had me at 'brook trout and beer'. :thumbsup2 If I'm not on call, I'd love to do that. Catch trout, I can. Drink beer, I can. ::yes::

Sean, I think they just got Manny for the stretch run. He'll be gone somewhere else after this season. Joe Torre isn't gonna put up with his B.S. in the clubhouse. But we'll take his bat for the rest of the season! SueEllen - Tell 'em Beano says "No strikee!!" So there. ;)

Hmmmm... Is "Reminiscent of" synonymous with "not cleaned or painted since"??

Almost, Bets. Coming along nicely. I should be done in about 2 days, or 8 weeks... whichever is longer. Or she can come here to the Central Valley, where we have neither! :thumbsup2

The quake was centered in L.A. and "felt" as far away as San Diego, which I hope means it didn't bother the Knebel peeps at all. We're too far away for it to have been felt here. (It was a 5.4) So the ground is not moving... now if the ship would just stop rocking, I'd be fine! :)

The Croutons are now home as well. Our flight was delayed a little less than 2 hours, so it was a long travel day, but otherwise trouble-free and all appears well at the home front. Will post pics soon and start to work on video thingy too! For now... off to bed. :faint: Cheri - Don't worry...

... and we're outta here. :cool1: Beano has left the building.

I have a wife and a teenage daughter. It's unlikely they'll let that happen. :sad2: Cha-Ching!!

Ok, we shall not mention it again until after vacation. But not to worry. Beano feex. :)

Yes, you can. (Don't you use Time Machine?) Well if you're not going to bring it, I won't bring the repair software. But I have recovered a lot of crashed hard drives with it! Save you it can.

Try changing the batteries in your keyboard. I guess it's kind of a pain in the butt to bring it on the cruise, but if you do, there's a good chance I can feex it. Because, you know... I'm Beano. :cool2:

Bets - you need to hold down the 'C' key to boot from the disk. If you feel like schlepping the darn thing all the way to the cruise, I will bring the software that may fix it. Let me put it this way: if this software won't fix it, nothing will. But I'll give it a shot if y'ont me to! :)

Yes, we are all traveling together. We fly out of LAX at 8:35 tuesday morning. Meeting the Knebels at a hotel in L.A. tomorrow evening. Then we have to go stay at the Beach Club Villas for 4 days. Then there was some talk about a cruise or something like that. I dunno, probably just a rumor. ;)...
