Ron, time for a teambuilding exercise? I'd be banging my first on this Macbook if it hadn't been so expensive.

Hey Ron...do you know what update you installed? You would be wise to boot the PC into Safe Mode (hit F8 repeatedly before the stupid Windows loading screen comes up and choose Safe Mode using the arrow keys on your keyboard). Once you log into Windows, go into the Control Panel, and choose Add or Remove Programs, click the show updates box at the top and find that update. If you don't know what update you installed, you can also try Last Known Good Configuration from the DOS window that shows up when you hit F8. Let me know what happens.

It was great to get together with my family over Thanksgiving weekend. One of my neices I hadn't seen in over 5 years. She's 17 now and thinks it's cool her Uncle Ron is a Metalhead and a Priest Fan!!! She want's to go with me next time they're in town, and I think that's pretty damn cool!!
This is the last week of work for me 'til Jan. 5th. An early Christmas present from Ford Motor Company...thank's guys!!!
My daughter is graduating High School early, in January. She'll be going to IUN in the Fall and will work and go to Vocational during the Spring. I couldn't be more proud of her than I am right now!!!
All in all, as bad as things get, there's still a hell of a lot to be thankful for.

Oh hell yeah..... my piece of advice... if you hate humidity make the trip in early spring (september / August) or Autumn (April - june)... Brisbane kicks butt... beaches are good here too. I would love to go to Perth.

Yeah every city in Australia has a reputable Irish pub (Some have several), which always overflows on St Patricks day..... Half the people in the pub are Irish... how i love living in Australia... no lack of English/Irish/Scottish around here - and we all love our drink.
My Pub is O'Malleys, it's underground so it has this perpetual gloom, the smell of Beer and of course all the cool Irish nostalgia hanging on the walls.
We also have an Irish club.. it's pretty ritzy - haven't visited it yet, and a pub called Union jacks.. it's got a little bit of everything U.K
Best thing about Irish pubs..... PINTS!  and not to mention Irish beer you just can't get at other pubs.
