Looks like I will be without internet for the weekend. Why? Because my wife's boss wants to send to out of state to see if she can fix his network down south, and he is too cheap to buy his own router, so of course, my wife is going to take ours . . . I guess driving engineers back and forth to the airport and helping his wife with Thanksgiving dinner isn't quite enough . . . all I can say is she better be getting her bonus this year!
Sorry, slight venting. I'll not likely be back until next Tuesday, and unfortunately, this will also curtail the project that I am working on with my fellow scribes for our dear Alaundo, so I appologize for this delay as well.

| Sorry, premature venting here. My step son and I pieced together some items from the "Computer Graveyard" that is his closet and I should be okay over the next few days. Still, had to vent. |

Actually, my wife trained her own replacement at her last job . . . |

Well met
Vent away, KEJR It's quite understandable that ye would be disgruntled at the thought of missing out on Realmslore discussions herein
...And worry not about thy other project commitments, there are others who need to get their finger out before I turn the whip to thee  |

I hear that Kentinal, that is what I do for a living. I get the fun (can you feel the sarcasm) of assisting people get retrained, after their company outsources to China, India, and such. trade act anyone |

I too was thinking of the possibility of some rules trivia going on, but then again KEjr has been around here for a while and could probably quote teh rules back to us.  |

| To tell you the truth, I've always been more of a lore man myself, though Arivia is doing a fine job of aiding me in writing spells in "3.5" instead of 2e . . . thanks again for the help on the Helmite spells way back when Arivia, lol. |

To tell you the truth, it's been so long that I'd forgotten about those spells entirely. However, you're still welcome. |

I always love how we are told on a regular basis of the things we need to do to protect ourselves from identity theft.
They don't mention that approximately 2/3 of the 50 states outsource processing state tax returns to second and third world countries, that many tax preparation businesses do the same, or that nearly every major insurance company out-sources the data-entry of insurance enrollment applications. Think hard about the information on any of these forms.
Fortunately, they haven't been able to figure out how to outsource hamburger-flipping, in which the US is still king.
Oh, and grats on your kluged together router! |

| I loved it when I heard on Kim Komando's show that a poor guy caught Baator from his ex-wife because she found his new prenuptual agreement with his new wife online and it was a better deal for the new wife. |
