OK, so what did I miss?

“Hi to all, I've missed this place. While I've been juggling a big move and major family stuff what did I miss here. You know, not the piddly stuff like someones belches or anything. Just the big stuff.

and don't razz me to read all the threads either. :-)”

“Newgirl signed back in and is getting hitched. Well, if she doesn't chase after some guy she got a crush on at a wedding.

Opie and Miss Opie did get hitched.

I posted a photo of what I look like now.

lizs messed up her computer, AGAIN.

The WV trip kinda fizzled, but there are some people there right now.

mapleleaf quit her new job.






Oh yeah, some people went hiking or something.

“Ha! Thanks bit.
Where's your picture. What WV trip? Isn't mapleleaf always looking for a job?”

“"Oh yeah, some people went hiking or something"


Yeah, but he asked about the important stuff. Who wants to hear about that?”

“dang - thats pretty good bit.”

“Oh, and I assume there are still people arguing endlessly on the fuego threads. lol...”

“Some things never change.

Right now my brain can only handle a little mindless chatter. I think I'll move on to the dating sucks thread. :-)”

“That's mindless chatter central!”

“But the liveliest thread since you left was probably the "what about crushes?" thread.”

“Ooooh, sounds good. I'm so there!”

“I went and made it safely back from my safari. I posted pics:

I hope all the family stuff worked out alright.”

“So are you a Chicagoan now?”

“Ruby,
In short, no.

I was informed yesterday to report to Hoffman estates on 8/1.

That being said, my house is on the market getting lots of traffic. I haven't chosen a house yet but am going on one last buying trip next Wednesday. So....don't know where I'll live but I'll be a Chicagoan starting August.

I'm looking for houses in Woodstock and Elburn. Nice areas for my horse and dog. A little commute but I'm used to that now.

Hope to have a chance to meet up with you in Chicago Ruby.”

“Tango,
I'll have to wait til I get home to look at your pics. Can't wait. I'm so envious. I'm sure you had a WONDERFUL time.

The family stuff, well my father passed away. Although it was a blessing that he didn't suffer any longer (cancer) it's still tough to come to grips with.”

“I'm sorry for your loss, dhutch.”

“I'm sorry bout your dad dhutch.”

“Sorry about your father.
Good luck with your future, dhutch1.”

“Thanks all, the future is bright, you just have to get through the fog sometimes.”

“You and your family are in my prayers.”

“Wow, Dhutch, you've had quite a lot going on. Sorry to hear about your father. Didn't know about your big move, either. Think there's any chance we can have a send-off get together with the MMers?”

“So sorry to hear that, dhutch.”

“sorry about your loss”

“sorry about your loss”

“SG - I've got an invite all prepared for a bbq at my place. Just need to pick a date once I figure out the rest of my schedule over the next few weeks.

Oh yeah it will be a big get together of all my MI friends. Food/wine/good ale and no painting! :-D

Thanks Ruby”

“Sorry to hear about your father, Dhutch. How is your son? Hope all is falling into place for you as best as it can at this point. Nothing like a real-life adventure race, is there?”

“wolfeyes! Hey girl!

My son is fine, he's in sniper school in GA. Probably has to go back to Iraq in Nov/Dec. I'll pray not.

Yes, exactly a real-life adventure race but with a little more sleep (most nights)”

“Hutchie!!! Good to see ya back, lady :)
Now will you hurry up and get this moving stuff done so we can get down to the business of camping!”

“Good Luck, Dhutch! And sorry about your dad. I lost my mom about 5 years ago and I still think about her a lot.”

“Dhutch, I look forward to your BBQ. Hopefully your place sells soon. It looks amazing. Great to see ya back on TT...”

“Hugs...sorry about your loss...
: (”

“Just got a call. There's an offer coming in on the house. I hope it's something I can work with. Thanks for all the well wishes.

If all goes well I'll celebrate with a big ol backpacking trip. It's really hard to keep looking at my gear stash and only be able to dust it off.

And yeah birch, it will be a big bbq!”

“with the new job (which I love) I have been a tad out of the loop. so what have i missed?

“Morning Maple...congrats on new job....and windows are soooo cool......have a great day!!!!”

“Mapleleaf don't ask!

“Are you saying that Lyra looks like a monkey's butt?! Maple, how could you!? =)”
