Finally have time to stop in and say "HI"... so Hello loungies... I've

[salin]

missed you! :toast:

[brainshrub]

1. Thank you for blessing us with your presence.

[salin]

3. yikes

didn't mean to sound like a diva with my thread title... just was hoping to say hi and catch up with the wonderful loungies ... whose collective company has been sorely missed.

[Elidor]

2. Are you through being all serious and intemellectual?

Nobody does that better than you, but ya gotta kick back sometimes and let your pants down. I mean hair. Hair down! Yes. Sorry. Bad Hardhead. Bad!

:spank:

Howaya?

[salin]

4. lol... that is indeed a curse

that seriousness groove within which I get stuck... all seriousness aside ... (til I go peek at LBN and get sucked in all overagain!)

Doing well - very crazy period with work and in the middle of a move... all for the good, I guess, but I miss having DU time!

Cute little toad (on your thread) btw, almost rivals Brood X... almost.

Hope all is well with you...

[Elidor]

5. We don't see nearly enough of you

I want to be as well-spoken and thoughtful as you when I grow up. But then I don't seriously intend to grow up ever.

All is well with me. :)

Brood X? Must google...

Cicadas? (Don't ask me how to say it, I can barely spell it)


Curiouser and curiouser...

[salin]

6. It was quite a shock

when I looked around and realized I had lost the battle about growing up... it sorta snuck up on me. Believe it or not - I was a bit superficial and nonserious for more than my first 20+ years...

Brood X... Cicadas! Typing from one of the epicenters... still have cicada shell/skeletons in some prime wooded area...

[salin]

7. well done!

it was the excitement (and LOUDNESS) of the summer in south central Indiana. These little buggers only come out once every 17 years... and each time I am living in one of the few heavily populated areas (last time was in northern virginia/metro dc).

Si(short I) - Kay - duh.

Don't worry you have 17 years to learn how to say it!

[Elidor]

8. LOL, I thought maybe Brood X was a punk band

Would make a good name.

[salin]

17. dang... mental image

cicadas on hind legs... rock instruments... a particularly sauve one dons microscopic tight leather pants, and is attempting G-L-O-R-I-A

Thank Goodness that i have 17 years to wipe that image out of the head...

[GOPisEvil]

9. Hi there!

Good to see you! :hi:

[salin]

13. Hellllloooooooo!

All moved in to the new house?

I am still finishing things up on the new house - and have moved a few things so that I can stay up there a few nights a week.

:hi:

[PittPoliSci]

10. yo!

so how's it going?

[salin]

14. going like a flea caught in a wind tunnel

life seems to be speeding around me! But I can't complain.

And with you?

[flamingyouth]

11. Hey you!

Good to see you! I heard "It's Raining Men" the other day and thought of you and that hilarious late-night thread from a few months back!:hi:

[salin]

15. lol... a classic indeed

glad that it brought a smile - and made you think of me (by default associating me with a memory that makes you smile... how cool!) It is great to see you! :toast:

[prolesunited]

12. Nice to see you emerge!

You really *do* need to have more fun. Speaking of which, we're having a big doing in Chicago on Sunday, Sept. 5. Why not drive up Sunday, only a couple of hours? You could crash at my house and drive back Monday. It's Labor Day. What a better day to NOT labor. :D

[salin]

16. I wish I could

just are getting my enterprise off the ground... big day on Monday. Have been in rampup/startup for the past two-three months. Don't think I will have a breather (except perhaps to collapse) until Thanksgiving. Buying a house and planning to move in the middle of this madness wasn't exactly a smart move in terms of pacing... but it will sure make for some good stories in the future!

I think by this time next year things will have settled down some... and perhaps even by Spring. Would love to do a trip up to your neck of the woods around that time!
