Hello all.
Did you miss me? It seems I live on a stupid (put something else, but thought better of it) lightning rod. We have lost 4 DSL modems in the past 3 months.
It has gotten to the point where we unplug the modem if we a large truck goes by the house for fear it might have been thunder.
Everything plugged into a surge protector, additional surge protection from our electric company...doesn't matter.
Well, evidently we were away while a storm went through cause we get home and the fourth modem is history. That added to the fact that I took last week off (opening night of the play was Thursday) meant no internet access for a week. Thus my absence.
I return to find that I am 50 pages behind on this thread. If you expressed concern over my absence, thank you for your consideration. If you did not, how unfeeling of you. I could have been bloody in a ditch somewhere. It's ok...I see where I rank.
So I need a summary, or I might try to swing by the spice shop this evening to see who I can see.
Hope everyone has had a wonderful week.
Hmm...looks like we got a couple of new smilies. What the heck is up with this

?
Weird.
