Dear Everybody:

When you see the people you love this evening, give them a hug and tell them how much you love and appreciate them. It doesn't matter if they are your family or just friends - let them know how much they mean to you and how much you treasure your relationship with them.

Have a conversation, share a laugh or a smile.

Cherish the moment.

Whatever you do, please don't take it for granted.

Is everything OK?

I mean, great reminder, yes, do...but is Chinook ok?

I am fine, just a bit sad, and in a very reflective mood following a tough phone-call.


Plimates, I love that we have a tight social network. You guys sometimes made me feel like I had friends when I was in places all by myself and knew nobody. You guys, and this site, mean lots to me. I wish I could have you all over for a barbeque this evening so we could eat good food and then watch fireworks.

edit: I was on the other end of the situation, I was told how much I am loved and appreciated and it really meant a lot to me. I thought I'd pass on the message.

If you need to hug someone, here I am. If you need to kick someone you should probably go to Fark. Just for the record, there are many of us who smile when we see that you're logged in. <3

I'm catching up on this weeks episodes of the colbert report...

Stephen Colbert sans hair and 2 glasses of rhodomel (rose hip mead) have me singing a very old pointer sisters song. This will not end well.

Kindle DX...awesome.

I has a happy! :D

Chinook, Bornbad is right. There are a large number of us who smile when we've seen you've logged in.

There are even a couple of us who smile when we see you log in. ;-)

Now I have to memorize all new thread numbers to know which comment made where is being voted on.

Sigh.

Gees. I'm gone for a few short months, and y'all completely trash the place.

Reboot! Dude!!

Followed by many tears from daughter

Repeat after me: Laptops are our friends, not food!

Bummer. Probably not covered under warranty.

No, I don't think they cover them for dog attacks. I rang the spares department yesterday to order a new screen an they took my details, said they'd get back to me but so far haven't. Crap customer service really

At least my Pups only go for the beer.....

I'd rather my dogs went for the lappy. Stay the f**k off my beer :)

*tackle hugs reboot*

What's going on? We miss you.

Among other things, Mrs. Boot is on the nest. Seems another bootlet is on the way. Woot!

7 again.

I won't downvote this statement. But FYI, as you've been told a number of times, whining about your level, whining about a couple of downvotes out of 1000's of upvotes has been listed as a legitimate reason for downvotes. The only reason you received the number of downvotes you did was because you were pouting about it.

Many many many of us have suffered downvotes. Most ignore it because they know the silliness of pouting about .000001% of your votes.

We simply do not need the drama.
