Title: ~Paul
Post by: pmcd9 on December 25, 2005, 03:29:26 am: I leave for 1 week and all hell breaks loose. There were about a blue million post this week (several with questions directed specifically to me) and I'm overwhelmed. I think I've read them all and am anxious to get back into the fray. However, I gotta do Christmas first which reminds me, thanks Alohadawg. I don't know when it arrived, but I received my package of Hawaii goodies on Friday evening when I got home. The idiot postman put it in the grass so the box got wet, but the contents were all sealed very nicely. Thank you Alohadawg, you are a Prince among men. Also, I'm seriously thinking of retiring the "~Paul" sig from my post. As one of the elder statesmen of the board I remember when people wrote letters on paper and we used to sign our names to our letters back in those olden days. It seems extremely redundant now, but I've kept doing it out of habit. Should I keep it going or let it die?

What the Hell, I can't find the poll option, did we lose that feature?

I've always liked your signing your posts. I see no reason to stop just because you think it's old-fashioned. I never thought it was.

For instance, vintage Kirstie Alley from the '80s, or today's version?

I say keep the sig, your mustache and the union suit with the backflap.

Um, neither?

PS: One sparkly can of Dr Pepper to everyone who posts while I am at work on Christmas morning.

Post by: wombat on December 25, 2005, 03:38:40 pm: Boo hoo and my husband has gone away to visit his family in Massachusetts without me for five whole days.

No, don't feel sorry for me. All I wanted for Christmas was this job. Yeah, I should have made the wish more specific like 'this job permanently not temporarily,' but still I am counting my blessings. And I get to leave early and they brought us cookies. Dr Pepper to all and to all a good night!

(I had a conversation with my parents that went about like that. "Really, Mom, all I want for Christmas is an acceptance letter...")
