I know where the pants are.

I even tried them on.

They have shrunk considerably since the last time I wore them.

The jacket fits o.k. I even found a whole pocket full of candy, which was o.k. as long as you picked off the fluffy bits.

No sign of The Tie.

I think we should call off the effort to locate The Tie. Don't want to turn this in to a government job and spend hours looking for something that has no useful value.

Jim.

Jim,
you'd better not only remove the fluffy stuff - You should also remove everything that moves

OK Folks,

I just transferred everything you sent me so far onto The List, will do your mails-to-come and the Activity List tomorrow after the Fest.
Before the Fest we'll pick up our tickets and car voucher at our TA's office. The lucky guy went on vacation today - Three weeks in Portugal. I hope he can enjoy it, because he's introducing his friend to the parents. His problem is: The friend he wants to introduce is his boyfriend and his parents don't know about his sexual orientation yet. They're Portugese and very catholic, so I don't envy him for that situation. He's an old friend of ours and he even needed some time to come out among his German friends, so it won't be easy on him.

Now you may ask yourself how I came up with that one? Here come the explanation - Just read Kim's mail thoroughly:
Hi Eric,
Out table for mail seating includes, Bettemom, Cdnmickeylover, Piglet33, JeanneC & Fridayfun. We do ot have an established name, everyone knows how great we are so a name is not needed... Are you tossing your cookies yet ??

I hope you'll like it, Folks And I hope even more that I didn't forfeit our lift to the Port and Back, Fiona

Eric,

Alright!!! You got me , what can I say...


I can join you in the money issues you are having, yesterday my now former boss came to sign all the legal papers selling the laboratory to my new boss (who is great) and I asked him when he was mailing my vacation check as we leave in a month, I had $2800.00 owed to me, the former owner is responsible for all debts prior to yesterday, and my former boss said has no intention of paying me anything... Just great, another fight with a idiot coming up... However my new boss who is great said they of course plan on paying me for 2 weeks in October and 2 weeks in May, so I will have a paid vacation but no $$$$ for playing with.

I am sooo glad it is Friday.

Bye, Kim

Kim,
we still can go to the free soda fountain

We already started checking the classifieds (I hope that's the correct term) to check for a new appartment. We won't pay less on the open market, but we hope to get a better appartment at a similar price in the €800 to 1000-range (Current rent of €600 + €169 ~ ),
We want to stay close to our gym, because it is the best in town. I guess it may take 6 to 12 months to find something which suits us perfectly, but we've got all the time we want. And I'd love to have something with a garage for our car and the bike. Additionally it must be close to the subway as Anja is still reluctant to get her driver's license.

So you like the name? I can still change or remove it within the next 24 hours

 

[Twinave]

LOL........You are all too funny!

So Eric, you really SAVED over $8000. Not too bad.
Jim, LOVE your packing list. Wish I could do that. But I have to pack for the whole family.

Later, Avé

Viking - DH and I both have permanent partners - they have 4 legs, a fur coat all year long, and awesome noses! Ihave the best job ever!

Going to drag the suitcases out of the storage barn sometime tomorrow.

Eric - I missed what area you guys live in. For a minute there it sounded like you were talking about the Army buildings I used to live in when I was in the Army, stationed in Ansbach. They closed all but the one where we were all reassigned to and gave the rest back to the German economy. Good memories! I had GREAT times spent in Germany!

 

[The Adams Family]

We just recently bought a house and we were to move in by the end of sept. well atleast i thoughts! our street has been under construction since june and when we called the city to see if it would be done in time for us to move they told us either we move in the next 4 days or we wont be able to move til the last week of sept. so we now have to pack and move our 5 bedroom house by wednesday. thankfully the previous owners are allowing us to move in early. the worst part of it all is that all of our family lives out of town and my parents who live the closest to us are in New york. omg stress time. anyways now we wont be on for a few days as the computers are being moved on sunday and we wont have internet til wednesday.

Chris & Denise,
now I got it - You're both K-9!!! Law enforcement & furry partners
We live in Frankfurt, about 2 miles from the city center in a former American housing area. The Americans were pretty well integrated into the city. With the Rhein Main-Airbase and the 97th General Dispensary there were quite a lot of them here. The hopital is still standing, but deserted. Some of the housing areas got demolished, with new units or commercial buildings erected on them, some have been taken over by the City (Like ours), some by the State, some by the Federal Government and some sold off to private investors.
As far as I know, there aren't any American housing areas left in Frankfurt, except a very small one near the airport, because the airbase is a major hub for the war in Iraq. Although we decided not to be part of this, we honoured our duties as an ally and allowed full use of the airbase for logistical use. Each time I'm at the airport the southern part is packed with C-5As and C-17s. On the way to/from work I pass under the final approach corridor to the airport and I often see them coming in - and you definitely HEAR them departing over our house in certain weather conditions. A Galaxy always sounds like one of the mechanics has forgotten some of his tools in the engines

Ciara,
with our departure to the States in less than two weeks -three weeks before the cruise- You'll have plenty of time to get a double or even a triple-0 post. That is if you can beat Mary or Ave' to it

:thewave: Without realizing it I must have post the 3000 posts-barrier

Museumsuferfest-update: It's raining cats & dogs and going to a fest holding an all the time isn't our kind of fun. Especially as Anja is recovering from a cold (She called in sick Tuesday and Wednesday). And tomorrow we probably won't have time as we want to see the Formula1-race in Belgium (While running about 10 miles on the treadmill, of course ) and after that's it's the handball-match for the Gold - And we certainly won't miss the closing ceremony of the Olympics. We already missed the opening as we were on a party then. I programmed the VCR, but our broadcasting station goofed big time. In Germany a lot of broadcasting stations send a so-called VPS-signal, which makes the VCR start and stop. This comes in especially handy with events having an open end. They sent the start signal, but accidently sent the stop-signal 10 minutes later. They apologized the next day in Videotext, but I guess I have to buy a DVD-summary of the Olympics after our vacation.

Hope that everyone is having a great weekend. Loved talking to Bette and Kim on the phone yesterday. Kathy and I have two patients to see this morning. We were hoping to avoid weekend visits but it has not worked out yet.

Eric hope that Anja is on the road to recovery. Mike
