I'm sorry to hear about your Grandad, Arcry. May the coming year surpass your hopes!

And that is the reason I love returning to this forum, no, to this community. It is host to such kind souls and you are all so very welcoming! Thank you, Grits. Thank all of you.

My condolences, Arcry--my grandfather has Advanced Altzheimers, so I can sympathize not knowing him anymore...

Anyways, I am back (darn video card died...if my motherboard breaks down, I'll have a brand new computer just from all the new replacements I've had to make over the past six months). I'm glad to see everyone's alive and well...

Oh Zalphon, I'm so sorry to hear that! Alzheimers is terrible for the families that love them, you lose the one you love twice, like you said.

I cannot believe this is actually happening, but I'm using my PS3 to type this right now! How cool is that?! FYI, I am not kidding. It really works! Seriously. Want me to cross my heart and hold up a hand? ANYWHO, well... What is there to say? I'm always late when I come back. Belated Merry New Year and Happy Christmas to all of y'all. Hope you guys had a white Xmas and a thunderous greeting to the year of 2012! With that outta the way, I must now pick up where I left... weeks ago? I dunno, I think I just have that personality as a ghost that returns and fades, returns and fades!

That's almost as cool as my son being able to play on his xbox with his older brother who is in the Air Guard and 3 hours away AND they can talk to each other!

We've come a long way in a short time. I remember vividly being not only the "channel changer" but also at times the antennae to enhance the signal when the news was on. Not kidding kiddos! My first "stereo" wasn't, only one speaker, the whole thing was a box about 15 inches square that you put records on and you had to adjust the speed of the turntable depending on the size of the record.

Just a bit of nostalgia for you this morning. hehe.

And welcome back ghost of Uleni Athram!

Thank you !! Best wishes to you too, and that 2012 brings you happiness and fun. As long as you are the ghost that always returns, or just fades every now and then, lol. We miss you when you're gone !!





ROFL !! I'm picturing you holding a rabbit-ear with your right foot raised and your left arm in the air, ROFL !!!

I'm beginning to regret a family friend gifting us one of those pod-based coffee machines that are all the rage; it takes about a minute to make a bloody good cup, and it's right next to where I work.

The result? I've been drinking so much coffee it's just plain stupid. Just had cup number 4 today and it's only just gone lunchtime.

*Shudders*

Hey, I just realised how appropriate to the thread title this is!

@Athynae- I must be agree with the Resident Kitty. You have just bestowed upon my mind a certainly nostalgic image! mALX's words are the icing to the cake! @mALX- To be welcomed by you is certainly appreciated!! Very much indeed! It is good to be back here with YOU around! And it may sound a little mushy, but I also missed you and your endearing personality during my time away! Not to mention Maxical's misadventures!

Forgive me if my earlier post is one giant unreadable mess. I'm still using my PS3 and it doesn't have a paragraph-making button. Eeek! I really need to buy a new keyboard for my computer: my pet puppie mistakened my previous one as a toilet and... y'know. It just stopped working.

ROFL !! Not sure I'd want to use it after that whether it worked or not, lol.

mALX your mental picture is not far from reality, sometimes standing on a stool...lol. Finally my Dad put one of those huge antennae on the outside of the house but even that I had to go outside and turn until the channel was clear.

I'm with Max on the keyboard too, I really don't think I would use it even if it did work, eeww! I have cleaned plenty of tea out of my keyboard but that was BEFORE it was processed, just a touch of the pre-digestive juices present.

Poor Colonel, if you keep that up someone will have to tie a string to you to keep you from flying off....

I'd have thought that it was enough.

Also managed to go cold turkey (cold bean?) on the coffee front for this afternoon, even though the machine is right next to me. Tempting me...tempting me with it's delicious hot caffieney goodness...

*Slowly begins to drift skywards*

And I was just about to bet on you in the local racquetball tournament!

A few more cups of coffee and Colonel can be the ball!!

You need to stop drinking while reading Maxical's misadventures. Your keyboard will thank you. lol.

*laughs* Too true, too true. Which is why I don't ever bring a beverage or any consumable when reading about Maxical.

I have to admit I just sit and stare when the daughter is buzzing around the alphabet when she has to type anything on the PS3...It's truly amazing... ...

Mustard...Kettle, spoon, Nescafe...Oh, and maybe a mug...What more do you need?...Really?... ...Oh yeah, PG Tips... ...

The ps3 is amazing but some words that are actually clean get.... starred out as if it were a curse. Even names! If somebody's name is Lulu... I'm sorry but that is a curse in PSN. Ha! It doesn't make any sense, but its sometimes funny.
