(((I've missed all of y'all!!!!))) Feels like it's been forever since I last checked in!! Life hiccuped pretty big in the past few weeks thanks to Hurricane Irene, and I've had little time to be online.

The hurricane was a blessing and a curse. My sister lost everything, house, vehicle and about 90% of her personal possessions. Thankfully insurance paid off on everything, and promptly, and in the case of her vehicle, for more than she paid 3 years ago! Funny, the Friday night before the hurricane hit landfall early Sat morning, she tried to move her vehicle to higher ground and it wouldn't turn over. She'd been having trouble with the transmission, and now the alternator was acting up, so it not starting was a silver lining. 

For me it was a blessing because I got some temporary construction work and it felt so good to be swinging tools again. Fingers crossed it will morph into permanent work. 

anyhoo, hopefully in the next few days I can catch up on some reading here at CiTR!!

Glad to see you back, Liz!  You've been missed!  So sorry for Hurrican Irene and all of her destruction in your family's life, but hoping you get permanent work out of it if that's your heart's desire hug

Very happy to hear from you Liz!  I know all about those silver linings too, even when the silver is spread a little thin.  Hope things continue going better and that even though you’re busy you still have time to stop and see us. wave

Thanks for checking in, Liz!  Glad there was a silver lining in there for you, and that more may be coming.

Liz!  I've been wondering about you.  Now that you're back, here's some good news for you–you won the FBR contributor giveaway last month.  That post ran right around the time you headed off, so I've been waiting for you to get back to let you know since I figured if I emailed you at the time, it might get lost in your email pileup while you were gone.

A. I wasn't "asking" for a refund.

B. The Party wasn't a "paid" for thing…it was free.

Hence all the smiley faces, Liz!!

Sorry – my feeble attempt at humor obviously missed the mark…    butterfly

Apology accepted, Pete! You know how it is with this internet thing, without the body-language, even with smiley faces, hard to know how to take things, and my sense of humor is sorta off-kilter these days anyway ; )) No hard feelings!!
