Newholidayx2 -
Welcome! 
Don't worry about your son. There are at least 4 boys around your son's age in this group, including my son, Devin (turns 13 in June). The kids from this group that I have met are great kids and well mannered. By the way, we're a pretty informal group. What's your name?
Tina - The weather today has been rain... and more rain.
I don't worry too much about Mt St Helens. It is located over 100 miles SSE of my location. The prevaling winds usually come off the ocean (toward the east). The most I would experience if it really blew it's top is an earthquake and since I spent my early childhood in southern California, earthquakes don't intimidate me much.
Ed - You're working this weekend too, huh? Too bad. Me too! (Warning - technical gobbledigook coming...) We're to the point of system testing all of our changes. I'm cycle monitor for the batch systems this week. I get to log on in about an hour or so and verify that the cycles ran without error.
And don't be scaring me, dude!!!! 200 people?!!!
If everyone in the group wants to buy a t-shirt, then I'm going to be so busy that I'm not going to have any time to eat or sleep!
Doreen - Glad to hear that your foot is doing better! I learned a long time ago that many homeopathic remedy have existed for centuries, which leads me to believe that there must be some validity to the treatment. Since then, I try to balance traditional medicine with more natural remedies.
Heather - I'm glad to hear that Nickolas is better. It's always so stressful when someone that you care about is ill and you can't
do anything about it.
Andy - Thanks for the movie recommendation! I've been wanting to see that one. Right back at ya! - Go see Robots (unless you dislike Robin Williams). I took Devin the other day. We both laughed through the whole thing! (Good luck packing! If I had left a suitcase open and empty as long as you have, I would have had a very irrate cat curled up in the middle of it!
She hates it when I pack.)
Terry - I can empathize with your day. I spent about 5 hours running errands today. And considering that one of the stops was at COSTCO/Sam's Club (warehouse wholesaler), I'm totally broke, but well supplied.
Everyone else - I hope that life is treating you well!
Just to let you guys know - my communications may be somewhat sporadic over the next month. Life has been very chaotic for me lately and will continue to be so for a while.
I found out a couple of weeks ago that the company wasn't going to renew the lease on our office building here locally. We were told that we would all be transitioned into working from home. Then a few days later we are told that our organization within the company is reorganizing and the 'work at home' thing is not a guaranteed deal. Fortunately for me, I am being transferred to a different organization within the company that is not involved in this reorganization. So, now I am going crazy trying to get my 'spare bedroom' (and my life) reorganized into a home office. I plan to be working from home full time by the end of the school year. (Rough commute too! About 60-70 feet via the kitchen for caffeine.)

Angelina and I both give "The Pacifier" a thumbs up. We both really enjoyed the movie, not to mention it was nice having a daddy/daughter date as well. We also stopped and got a bite to eat on the way home. Luckily I turned my cell phone on vibrate, because about half way through the movie Hazel called, I was wondering what that buzz was in my pocket, LOL!!!
