Hello everyone. I've been checking in from time to time and have mixed feelings about the lack of posting on the site. But, the good news is that it seems everyone has taken time out for the living of life....
David is touring Europe, SOW is following deeper avenues, RAMS is saving Central America, I'm doing my usual juggling between a very challenging Real Estate and Development market, traveling and OMG teenagers!
Anyway, it would be very interesting to hear what "Real Life" moments are occurring in your lives this summer. Although I miss our usual banter I'm happy that the regulars in this forum are pursuing life away from the computer (I hope).
So, what about it? How about when y'all have a moment let's discuss what's happening this summer outside the norm?
PS; This is off target but I have to ask Chica a question.The avatar you have....is that Brigitte Bardot?

DLee, G'Luck with all that and make even more money deals and big-bucks! Actualy I'm sure they're all over at SOW's very secret board that they won't even tell me the location to, I'll bet even RAMS is there! I know they are! And that's NICO! Christa Päffgen (October 16, 1938?[1] – July 18, 1988) was a German singer-songwriter, fashion model, actress, keyboard player and a Warhol Superstar, best known by her pseudonym as Nico. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NicoShe might be called a Factory Girl too, sort of usurping the position formally held by "Edie" Edie Sedgwick, but truely more of a professional rather than Edie's more "it-girl/posh-girl" persona. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edie_SedgwickWarhol loved Nico's powerful tutanic/Viking looks. There's this crazy bum/panhandler guy that hangs out on the mall streets downtown and is always trying to get me to "give him his hug" that keeps bothering me and he's always telling me that he loves me and don't I know it when I'm going back and forth to school. Like the big bad Wolfe and he's pulling on his pants crotch at his wiener I'm sure when he says it. He calls himself Ernie and I say no, no Ernesto I can't do that. Luckily it's more of a game and he drops off after he tries to follow for a block but I still hear him talking at me from a block away. >< Tomasina ChicaWolverina!

Well, no one is at the other backup board, that I know of. Of course, I havent even looked in on that board. TRH is our home base, and you are the queen with the keys to the kingdom! Not much going on over here, I mean where I live, cept it's getting really hot outside. Going shopping today and going to buy a carpet shampooer....lol Then I am buying a new mountain bike, cause I love them and my bike was stolen. This time I'm buying a good lock for it, and will never leave it unlocked again. Too bad it has to be that way... Anyway, nice to see you DL and I look forward to seeing the pictures of David's trip, when he returns. By the way, the Canadian government just gave every Canadian man, woman and child a hundred bucks to help out with the rising costs of gas...and to encourage us to buy bikes and not drive so much, for energy conservation purposes. Which was a nice gesture... Don't know what else to say....I am just plugging along, putting around, doing this and that....lol

Well, business has been really slow for me...but something interesting did happen in the romance department for me. Met a girl I knew for years at the Post Office...we flirted on and off, but never managed to date. Now, we're inseperable, but it probably won't last, because she's moving out of town for 2 years to attend nursing school.

Rick, stick with it and life will find a way! Hell, if Robert can have a somewhat exciting relationship with someone from friggin Mongolia then you should be okay! Good for you! I love it when good things happen to good people!!!
Omi, sometimes just doing this and that is a VERY good thing! My life tends to lean toward the chaotic side. However, I am exploring SOW's suggestion regarding CHI so we shall see.
Chica, thanks for the info...she's HOT!!! BTW, not much big bucks out there right now so I'm opening up my own company and will be well positioned when the turn around starts up again...which it will. I've been through this before. (Although I must admit this one is hanging on a little longer than even I anticipated). So it goes....
Take care everybody

Dave, I'm not so confident about the economy turning around any time soon. I hope you're right, but all the signs are pointing toward a new "great depression." I'd chalk it up to speculation and deregulation and a repeat of all the things that led to the crash of 1929, such as margin trading.
It's a bubble that has to burst. Now, the difference is that we got ourselves out of the depression only after WW2 started, but in those days we had a powerful manufacturing base. Tangible products are the real wealth of nations. Nowadays all we do is shuffle money around, and it's not even real money.
I want to look for a reason for optimism, but where is it?

Rico, I know that too, but DLee may still believe he has flag lapel pins to rally one day! But for now those flag lapel pins have been weeded out! >< Tomasina ChicaWolverina!

Hi everyone
Just got back myself from a month in Scotland, Isle of Man, and North England. After touring the distillers of Scotland I will never be the same. Have a great summer.

cdh, did you see any great old castles, while there? If I ever went to Scotland, that's what I would want to see.
