Yet another 'I'm back' post

Ah! Glad to see you Mike! Things here have been a bit...off as well.

Good to see you around and doing ok!

"Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire. Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us) off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give them self determination under "play nice" rules.

Think of it as having your older brother knock the shit out of you for torturing the cat." Gunner

You too. I was just reading some of whqt you've been through. Just remember that you agreed to take at least two trolls with you, when you check out for good! ;-)

Finally get a handle on it? Good! OK, now back to work!

I'm running out of computers to rebuild. I have a few projects to do, but I am waiting for some help to repair the shop building. I can't work on ladders anymore. :(

Glad to see you back Mike.

Thanks. Its good to be able to sleep more than an hour at a time again, and be getting my strength back. :)

Roger that! Sleep deprivation really sucks.

I was in so much pain that I couldn't sleep on my hospital bed, so I slept on the floor for several months. If 'Nurse Cratchet' had done her damn job right, it would have been a couple weeks, instead of three months. :(

I hope that when she really needs medical care they ignore her answers, yell at her, and treat her like an idiot. Oh, wait. She is an idiot.

How are you doing, BTW? I am still wading through thousands of unread messages, while trying to help a local non profit corporation expand their refurbishing of run down homes, for the low income residents.

I am trying to convince them that they need to become general contractors, so they have better control over everything, and to buy some items in bulk to cutt costs. The city is deciding if they will donate the use of a small, abandond apartment building for our efforts, so I am trying to juggle that with finding office equipment a phone system, and newer computers for the offices, no matter where they are located. Right now, they are in some old sunday School rooms at the local church who created the non-profit corp.

The ironic thing about the building, is that it owned by a local group that is anti drunk driving. :(
