...y'all. :tongue:
Short update on me, if anyone's interested. If you're not, then :censored: you.
:-) Just kidding.
Lessee...wife and girls are doing fine; my knees are shot. Arthritis -- on a scale of 0-4, with 4 being completely worn out, the right knee is between 2 and 3. Got a cortisone shot, so it feels better, but it's still worn out. No biggie -- I hated running anyway. :-)
At work, I got a new job, sorta -- I'm managing the aircraft arresting systems program for our area of responsibility. Got a fighter jet? You break 'em, we'll brake 'em. Come ride the wire!
Also doing a whole lot of graphics work for the command. It's a load of fun.
So, what have I missed? How you guys doing?

DAVE!!!!
GREAT to see you, my friend!

Hey, Wretch. Good to see you too. :cheersmate:

Trying to pick up a new job. I've been offered an IT posiiton by the Census Bureau, but I have to fill out a billion forms to get a security clearance. Other than that, not much.
Ahhh...the dreaded 7-year personal history. Man, I hate those things. Luckily, I retire before my clearance expires, so I won't have to do another one. At least DoD's system is web-based now.
Good luck with the job, Chris. :cheersmate:
The seven-year history doesn't bother me, other than getting exact dates for job changes. I haven't broken any laws in that time, so I should be okay. :-)
This project is supposed to be for three years. My job is classified as a 'moderate' security risk, whatever that means. How long is a security clearance good for?
-
Well, if you ain't a sight for sordid eyes!
-
Dave, glad to see you back! :-)
Doing alright over here. Had a health scare a little while ago, but I'm doing much better since then. :)
-
Daveman? Who's that? :tongue:
Glad to hear things are going well for you. Sorry to hear about the knees though.
-
Well, if you ain't a sight for sordid eyes!
he means well, Daveman. :whatever: :-)
-
Hey Daveman! Good to see my man! :-)
-
oy, we just had one helluva engagement party here for the older kiddo..
and jeff did some stuff to piss me off, but then he bought me my dream house so its all okay now.
i think the neighbors are coming over for cocktails after they put their kidlings to bed. may mow the lawn yet tonight... i dunno.
kinda tired... *yawn*

I dunno what the Census Bureau uses, but a Secret is good for 10 years and a Top Secret is good for 5.

Devil Drawers! Have any good toast crumbs lately? :-)

You bet'cha. We got some garlic-flavor almost-bread at the mission last month. mmm-mmm-good!

DAVEMAN!
Good to see your mug around here!
:cheersmate:
Place NEEDS some steady photoshop class dood!

It's about freaking time you stopped in to say hello! :cheersmate:

Welcome back Daveman. Not much going on here except I had the family doctor carve into my neck to remove a cyst or so I thought. The results came back ok it was something totally different. I ended up with 10 stitches near the jawbone and most were taken out today. Glad to see you here again we have missed you around here.

Bet that damn shot didn't feel good. :-)
I had one in the shoulder. ****ing hurts like hell. I don't think neutering feels that damn bad.
-
Hey, Dave! We've missed you.
Things at the Smith house are about the same. We're now in debt for 60% of Mr Smith's kids' college expenses for the next 5 years, but everything else is good.
It sounds like you need to stay off your feet!! :o

I have had two cortisone shots in the shoulder with the second followed by novacain for the pain.

It wasn't bad, actually. He numbed the skin with some very cold gas, and the injection was pretty painless. Apparently, there's enough end play in my knee joint that the insertion of the cortisone didn't interfere with anything.

Hi, beej. :rocker:
-
I was just thinking about where you had gone--I was trying to remember if I had said anything to piss you off (that's fairly easy for me to do), and I couldn't think of anything. I'm very glad to see you back! :cheersmate: :-)
-
Hey, hey Dave, glad to see you, and that thing are going well except for the knees. Other than enjoying retirement, finished upgrading my house and now working on a landscape project, that is about as exciting as it gets for me. Looking forward to going to the beach in a couple of months though.
Glad you could join us as you have been one of my favorite posters.
-
You're getting old, old man :-) Stay with the corisone shots as long as you can, don't let them cut into you..no wait, what am I saying..let them cut into you and you can come rehab at my facility, you do have good insurance right? :-)
usual stuff going on with me, root canals, oral surgery, antibiotics which caused an reaction and an ass rash, then broke my toe, which made me a wee bit cranky! Little bug is getting ready for kindergarten already!!!!! OMG I'm old too :bawl:

Hi Dave! Well, I deployed to SW Asia for a year, came back for six months, and then had to deploy again for another year (but as backfill for a CONUS-based unit this time), finally got back from that at the end of May, probably never have to screw with that again due to age, I think I'm finally home for good.
-
I'm a Newbie. Lookin' forward to your posts. Take care of Arthur. An stay off the knees. Care always.

I'm officially hijacking a thread for my own self-promotion, but I have to say, the fact that you guys missed me and care about my fractured appendage really makes me feel LOVED. Sniffle. Thanks! I'll post the gory (and stupid) details in the "Cryin'" room. I missed this place!!!!!!! :bawl: :bow:
and Welcome Back, Strangeman.
