It's quite amazing how you can form opinions (not necessarily good or bad) as you progress through these threads. Sometimes the innocent are exposed and other are (?). I find all of you most interesting and delightful and really missed the experience as I wasted away on vacation.

Now that I have the time (sick) and can spend some time here--where is everyone else?

Stringer:D

Most are away for the weekend, I guess.
Start is not well it seems,must be some sort of virus going around.
There are some around, they will get here soon enough.Hey Capt,Albear!I know you are here... come out, come out wherever you are!

Stringer, if you wasted your vacation,what did you do for fun?:)

I had fun; I enjoy doing and seeing new things especially culturally. Seeing Warsaw and how it was rebuilt afer the war, amazing. Like Krakow, there is a lot of history and very beautiful and friendly people. Although Warsaw doesn't have an actural "town square" like krakow there is a main street in the center of town. They have closed it to traffic where people can shop and enjoy international dining. Beautiful, especially at night.

We stayed with some friends who were very nice and very accommodating. Quiet and peaceful with a lake about twenty feet from the back of the house.

But... after a week and a half of this I was aching to get back to business... Although I still had another week to go. I'm not complaining, I guess I needed the vacation. And I got some very beautiful time with my lovly and beatuiful wife. Like I said though, she won't be returning to Chicago for another couple weeks.

Sorry for going on like this... I guess I had some stuff "bottled up."

Stringer :rolleyes:

Wife not being there especially when you are down being unwell... hmmm I can understand the ranting;)

WOW! Near a lake and quiet, sounds like a wonderful place.
Never been anywhere near there, all I know are from novels.
The town non "square" sounds like a beautiful place.

I can imagine dining under the stars...

Firm, it was really nice, and the food... outstanding. We spent the evening shopping and ate at an exquisite Italian (Polish) Restaurant. The food melted in my mouth while a pianist played classical music and the night was clear. One of those times I will remember.

I have traveled to Europe three times and have found most of the people very nice, polite and always willing to help. Before my first trip, which was right after 9/11 I didn't really know what to expect. All my doubts were soon erased by their kindness and delightful dispositions. And there inquisitive nature; many questions about America and Chicago.

"What do you call someone who speaks at least two languages? Bi-lingual. What do you call someone who speaks only one language? American."

What can I say? (A little Spanish, German, and very little Polish)

Stringer:)

9/11 seems to have made a huge impact on people around the world, I too am hesitant sometimes even here because of my faith I do feel a bit defensive when some ask questions regarding my beliefs (I may feel it is in a judgemental way)..

I like tasting different foods... you sound like you really enjoyed your trip and made some memories.
Must be this flu thing making you feel like you wasted the vacation.;)

Stringer you speak Spanish,German and Polish... impressive.

Are you calling me out?

Well then I can't igrore a summons can I that would be rude of me,

Must be great to get away once in a while eh stringer

Al,
I have my defined quirks of what rude is and you not answering my summons would not have been considered rude.
But thank you for answering my summons(makes me sound like a queen;))

Firm, you missed; "very little."

It is foolishness to judge people by their nationality, ethic group, or religion. How shortsighted to limit yourself by doing this? Everyone has something to add to humankind in large and small ways. People who do this only limit themselves and NEVER grow in any way.

I am against the senseless 9/11 violence and any violence of this nature. I am not a "peacenik" but we have to do much better.
Stringer:(

It was nice Albear, but I stayed too long I think; almost 3 weeks. I was ready to "get back to it" after a couple weeks.

Stringer

Stringer,

Doing much better is what we all aim for,but then what will come to pass will come to pass whether we want it to or not... that is life.

Nice to have you back,but I got to go get some shut eye before the little one wakes up.
G'nite and take care.

Bye albear,Capt and anyone else who pops in.

See you laters...

Hey, all!
Coming out of a funkiness...

Lol I know, people keep telling me how great they think my avatar is, I can't help but chuckle every time I see it, I have another pic that says 'its OK pluto I'm not a planet either',

Hehehe! That's a good one, too!

I wonder how that will affect interplanetary alignment and organic tomato growth...

I agree, taking some time puts things in prospective, and rebuilds your stamina.

Capt.. did you see the "signature that says that Uranus is next?"
Stringer:D

Now, you're messing with my planetary alignment! LOL

Stringer

I picked this sucker up on the plane trip back, it's a doosey. It put me in bed for about a week.
It went for my lungs, stomach, and sinuses with a vengeance. And even now, it won't let go.
I've got a very important meeting Monday morning with our largest client--I have to be there and I have to be conscious!
Stringer

NE FLA? Sorry I'm not up to scratch

North east Florida.. just south of east... Jacksonville metro area...
We get a break here from the humidity and less threat of hurricanes.
Don't mean it won't rain! Just the rain comes straight down instead of sideways... hehehe

Lol, it makes a change

He he he he... been real busy today... just got caught up! Stringer... nice to see you up and around... I feel much better and I don't think I have the big cold! I really think it is the wood fires we have been burning. I am putting those to a stop. We will be using the heater.
Albear, if Firmy isn't going to call you out... I WILL! Meet you in the parking lot... I know kung fu!
Cap'n... HELLOOOOO! You looking at the stars again? Hope all is good with the glorious ship! I have to do some Pirate research before I get back on board! LOL
Firmy... wish you were here... there are now a lot of boys here... HELP! Nice to see everyone. Had a busy night last night and a busy day today. Go Grady and Jesse... they won their football game... And Go Ducks! Went to a class that could have taken an hour but instead it was a mandatory 6 hours for fostering... oh geeze the info that could have been left out... I understand but dang...
See you guys a bit later. Lot's a hugs from me to all of you!

Stringer, you should have gotten your NASCAR shots before exposing yourself to the bug crowds! Hehehe
Double doses of Vit C and losta fresh fruit. My Dr's says to eat your fruit, don't drink it!

Oh. Look! Our hostess is here.

Been busy with what? Yeah, you knew I would poke my head in here. LOL
