Yeh you're right about 2001:A Space Odessey. We couldn't even drive our car right away after seeing that. And it blew our minds when we realized we'd all be 50 in 2001. Suddenly it didn't seem so far away in 1969. And look, now we've got an international space station out there ... and Bushes in the White House ... and homeland security everywhere ... and .... and .... OMG - Van Halen were serious in 1984!! (But they were never serious 'bout anything )

At least you have your house in that beautiful countryside that you're working on ... or is that finished now? Have you all moved in there yet? But I do hope that you find a job you like, Milanius and also The Metal Mallet. He's looking all over for one.

Emmm, no, we're not about to move there, sorry Ibis :\ That house is only supposed to be village resort, or something like that... but, with today's price of petrol and the estate being some 30 miles away from my home I don't see how would it even be possible for me to live there. My ol' folks, well, they might live there during summertime, but only a few weeks during month - it's really backwatered and lacks some nesseccary things, like pharmacy, real ambulance and, above all, good roads (don't ask, just don't) - and both of them are seriously ill and can't work too hard nowadays. While here, well - this is civilisation.

Ibis has been mixing up names again!

I think you're confusing me with Ramirez, because, I do have a job. I've talked about how lucky I am that I get on Chorrol at work all the time.

I forgive you though.

Ahahaha!!! Yes ... my alzheimer's is kicking in again. It was RAMIREZ that I meant. Sorry MALLET and thanks for straightening me out. I love that you can access Chorrol from work. Wish I could.

((darn I need Minque back to keep me straight on everybody ... where is she?))

I´m here..right here dear Ibis!!! And I´ll keep an eye on you from now on!

Jeez the 1st of sept. I´ll start my new job! ihhhh....I´m a bit nervous though

So glad you are home now with us Minque (see the Birthday thread for welcome home party news)

Oh Minque, I think you will do really well in your new job. They wouldn't have picked you if you couldn't handle it, eh?

Gee..thanks for the encouraging post! Yeah I´ll probably do ok......hopefully they´ll be satidfied with me
