Rossman: WOW! That thread is really something! I'm amazed we are remembered... other than my occasional fights about religion, I think we were always sortof quiet members - we posted, but didn't make a lot of fuss or drama.

To be honest, we really did just get so busy... new job, new baby, then we moved, new car, a ton of hockey... before we knew it a whole year had gone by and we just hadn't dropped by.

(Actually, the terrible truth is that Elledan sent a team of assasin-bots to eliminate me, so we were on the run for a year. ;) )

I see in that thread that someone emailed Elita, but she can't remember the password to that email account and so she hasn't checked it in about a year too.


Viper: Elita says you were late last Thursday. Not sure what she means... ;)

kranky! Good to see ya too!

N8: PM me. :)

BigSmooth, uncJigga, Saltboy: Good to see you guys too! :) and unc - yes, 6998 = master now. :)

vi: Hockey has been cut back to 3 games/week. From 6/week. I'm nuts. :)

Of course you two were missed!

How dare you and Elita go out and "get a life" ... WTF is wrong with you?

:p

Ross: Heh - it sounds so bad: "We got a life so we didn't need you people anymore!" ;)
Totally not the case, though - life more like hit us like a tidal wave and we're only now able to catch our breath again! :)

That and we were relegated back to dial-up 'net access (long story).

Dezign: I'll ask her - I told her I was posting this thread and she was excited to hear we were remembered and that everyone was still here. We're starting to get online again now, mostly due to a) life calming down and b) we're starting an online comic strip.

LordJezo: Nah, man - I remember you! :) (I don't get it though - most hated straight man?)

3 nights a week to get out eh? Not bad. If I golfed that much my wife (the little lady and I tied the knot this spring) would hide my clubs :)

Elita asked if you are still making music?

P.S. She was able to login again and says she'll try to post tomorrow. Our youngest has a cold right now and our daughter is in school so its as crazy as always...
