Edited to add this link to an article about the prize and Jimmy Carter, Jimmy Carter if anyone's interested.

I have had the same thing happening to me!! Every time someone talks about babies, I bust out with something from the boards and they are like, "Um, who? " and I have to explain.

Y'all rock--thanks for the much needed ego boost and chuckle.

The company I work for was purchased two weeks ago. There are a lot of changes going on. We've also changed distributors, which means that every quote I had out there I had to retract and get re-issued. Add on top of that a new customer management system and the fact that most of my customer records got hosed in the translation and it makes for a surprising lack of time for recreational surfing. At home, the last thing in the world I want to do is get on a computer.

I think this sale is going to be a good thing--but the growing pains are driving me bonkers.

Regarding my sister's wedding--that's on November 9th. I have not spoken to her since this happpened because only bad things would come of a conversation between me and her. I've reached a point where it would be impossible for me to hold my tongue. I have to find a way to avoid her for two days before the wedding now, too. If anything happens, it damned sure won't be my fault.

Anyway, I still won't be able to post much over the next couple of weeks--but I do miss all of you a lot, and look forward to surfing through and catching up on events as soon as I can.

My mom even offered to give me a dollar to try in the machine, just in case the sign was bogus. Sorry BG.

Red Dwarf is a campy British Sci-Fi comedy, that I'm pretty sure is off the air now. Anyway, one of their trademarks was the made-up (as far as I know) word "smeg"... sort of an all-in-one cuss word. So the liscense plate could read 'Dig Smeg'

I know there was another Red Dwarf fan on here somewhere... perhaps Leanne or yam?

Um, I don't think Crowjoy meant that kind of "head cheese", Dewgirl. Try putting your mind in the gutter and thinking about it again--but not if you just had breakfast.

(CJ, I think the kind you're thinking of is actually called "smegma".)
