Hiya, Ronny!! Good to see you again!!!
Yup, things have been quiet around here. A good thing considering all the crapola that occured in the past few months. Hope your dad recovers quickly!!
Has anyone noticed how the "members online" thing is now always at 0? I wonder why?
Thought I'd take a moment to catch up on some back-reading of the goings ons here...looks like things have been a little quiet around here.
Got the first week back to work under my belt and I couldn't be happier!! There's something about getting back into the swing of things that brings a sense of security back to things. A little something I hadn't shared with my friends here but I feel more comfortable doing so now is that on New Years Eve my Dad had surgery to remove one of his kidney's due to cancer. It's been a battle for him and the family as this is just the latest in a series of "removals" he's had to go through because of the big "C"...but he is recovering fine, albeit slowly. Unfortunately he picked up pneumonia while there and it's slowing things down a bit...reminds me of why I hate hospitals...go to one and your almost guaranteed to catch something!!
Anyway, we got about a foot of snow over last day and a half and now are expecting frigid temps...no snowman or angels for me yet!!!
Hope everyone's doing fine and am looking forward to a great year and some wonderful changes in the upcoming months!!!! Take care all!! Edited at: Saturday, January 09, 2010 5:20:55 AM

Hey all....long time--no post...lol!! Just haven't had a whole lotta things to say/talk about really...my day to day stuff is so predictably INANE that it just doesn't warrant sharing. I haven't squired a whole lot of new music (apart from Queensryche's "American Soldier" and Heaven & Hell's "The Devil You Know"...both of which are brilliant)...and...well....I'm making this post (in part) out of sheer frustrated boredom.
For starters, to any/all who know me here, Happy New Year/Decade to all of you!!! And yes...this greeting goes to all of those here that I don't know of course (didn't wanna seem selective...though, my history here has proven that it doesn't necessarily HURT to be as such). I hope this past holiday season was a pleasant one for all of you, whether you observe it or not. God knows the start to winter has been quite kickin' to say the least...areas of the world not ordinarily renowned for seeing such bitter cold/snow are probably reeling right now, and for those of you who like orange juice; given the shots I'd seen of various orange groves in Lakeland FL. recently, ya might wanna downgrade to quart containers....this bitter snap is gonna certainly affect the crop output.
Man...I can't feckin' WAIT for January 18th....this is when I start a new run package at work that'll break the monotony of what I've been doing for the past 5.5 months. This kid doesn't tolerate routine very well (never did)...and what I do is just that....routine as a mutherfucker. I'll be doing a slightly more varied package of bus routes, most of which have been recently refined and streamlined (which is meant to facilitate things considerably). I'm SO done with the one I've been doing....I mean...literally...put a fork in this kid....juices should be clear....LOL!!! I'm grateful I'm employed, don't get me wrong...but JEEEEZ-UZZZ.....sometimes even for all of my gratitude, there's just certain things I deal with that...well...I could do without. Like people who insist on bringing their bicycles out and loading 'em on the bike racks on the front of all of our buses. This is fine and all when the weather is relatively decent, and when you consider that most of this area is uphill climbs for all 4 points of the compass...it does stand to reason...
...but when it's some 20 degrees, WITH a wind chill....AND BLOWING SNOW!!!??? FFS...don't these asshats watch 'The Weather Channel!!???' o_O I don't even like having to WALK fast in elements such as these!! I'm gonna ride a goddamn BICYCLE in it!??? Yeh....MIGHT happen...hold your breath...g'head...see if it does....
...at least it's quiet...the college kids are still home/abroad for the holidays for the most part...when they all come back is when my schedule changes and I get to see some different necks of the 'woods' for a little while....then, long about March or so, I'll be bitching about how burned out I am on it...LMAO!!!!
...vicious cycles boys 'n girls....watch out for 'em.....meanwhile...take care of yourselves....salud....

I awoke to -26C. all the locations that I do business with were colder, so that made me feel.... well not realy any better. this sucks [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by kiamat from Thursday, January 07, 2010 4:47:58 PM)

The last few days/weeks leading up to a big gig are always the most exciting, I hope the anticipation never exceeds the result- though it's AC/DC so I bet you'll have a great time Becks.
Our cat is quite vocally disgusted about the weather- I can't blame her, especially after a weather station 10 minutes down the road apparently recorded -18C (?!) last night making us slightly colder than Moscow. Currently I am watching the frost form on the inside of the window pane. Hope others out there are enjoying better weather!

Ahhh my sister was telling me this morning (she lives in London) that parts of the UK have been colder than Moscow, and that this is the coldest winter the UK has had in 30 years.

Those kitty booties look hilarious! The cat doesn't look too impressed though. I got an email photo of an extremely angry and wet looking cat, and the caption says something like "This cat is gonna f*ck somebody up". I believed it!
