Chloe, a Perrier will suffice – I’ll be heading to my in-laws for a Chinese dinner in about an hour. <br /> <br />I’m glad Sunday is a ‘day of rest’, because, <i>man</i> am I <i>sore</i> – especially my knees and hamstring tendon (after the dropping-the-fiberglass-bale incident). My family has a total claim on my time today [well maybe not <i>total</i> – I’m composing this message to all of you, right?] <br /> <br />Phil: <br />[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by philnrunt</i> <br />…Keep MRing, it will keep you at that lower level of insanity that we all operate at.[/quote] <br />Excellent advice! Of course, you ARE preachin’ to the choir here[:D]… <br /> <br />TomW: <br />[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by tomwatkins</i> <br />Kent, feel free to rant. You're among friends here in the coffee shop…[/quote] <br />Yes, that’s why I love this place. Uh…BTW, there’s actually not a ‘t’ on the end of the prototype version of my name, but you're welcome to ‘freelance’ if you want to. [;)] <br /> <br />Teffy-Bob: <br />[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by TEFFY</i> <br />I'm sure that you have been to the B&O museum since it re-opened. <br />[/quote] <br />Actually I’m embarrassed to say I <i>haven’t</i>… you’ve no doubt heard the truism about people who live in the backyard of great tourist centers never get there themselves [“It’ll always be there so what’s the hurry?”]… fits me to a ‘T’ [:I]. But I definitely plan to take my Alabama relatives there when they come up for their annual summer visit. I’m glad to hear you enjoyed your stay in Charm City, definitely a lot of history around here! [Great self-portrait in your later post BTW...] <br /> <br />Jim: <br />[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by JimRCGMO</i> <br />Ken, <font color="red"> <font size="3"> CONGRATULATIONS!!!</font id="size3"> </font id="red">I’m sure you are sooooooo glad to have that done (and to have a more temperate place in which to work on your layout). <br />[/quote] <br />Absolutely! I plan to post a separate ‘thread’ later on about this (and the sequel[s]) in the main area. <br />[quote]QUOTE: … I won’t start my rant on tech support being off-shored (but I think I have a few comments back several pages if you *really want to know*). Ah, “customer service”![/quote] <br />A humorous anecdote: My mother-in-law Ethel was on the phone with an Indian customer service person one day, totally unaware of the woman’s nationality. Her English was so perfect, including the Midwestern dialect. But she blew her cover as soon as she said, “Have a nice day, <i>Eetal</i>!” [(-D] <br /> <br />CatTom: <br />[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by twhite</i> <br />…another Mass at 3:00, then two Priests coming over for a guided tour of the layout…[/quote] <br />I’ve had not one, but two separate Catholic Priests urge me to stay active in this hobby when I voiced doubts about it (mostly because of my uncontrolled spending). Apparently they appreciate its power to divert guys like me away from the more destructive pastimes. <br />... <br />Well guys I'm running out of time here, maybe I'll check back around 10:30...
