I'm baaaack!

Whew... more than a week without internet access. Crazy stuff.

But for those who were curious, I made it across the country in one piece. More details and pics and crap later. :) Right now I gotta catch up on... well, everything.

6. Orlando, FL to upstate NY near Rochester.

My grandpa just went through a bunch of surgeries and all kinds of crazy stuff, and right now he needs help getting around. And since I'm not only A) the most physically capable family member, since I've been working in a warehouse for almost 3 years, but also B ) Since I've been in a rut and working a crappy night-shift warehouse job for almost three years I had the most incentive to just get the hell out of my current living situation and move someplace new, I was the most obvious choice to move up here and help them out. :)

4. Welcome back.

Welcome back online and back to DU. I hope your typing and mouse skills didn't atrophy too much in your week of exile.

5. I'm afraid they may have... I might be down to 80 WPM... :(

:scared: I wasn't just internet-less, I was computer-less for quite a while. Once we got here we found out that the only grounded outlets in the entire upstairs area were in the room that was the farthest away from my own.

Thankfully my stepdad was the one who drove up with me, and he used to be an electrician. So when he had some free time he did some rewiring and got the outlet here grounded. :)

11. As am I. :)

Although we came damn close to rear-ending someone... I never should have let my dad drive. He drives freakin' crazy in his normal zippy little car... and he was trying to drive the big-ass van that was packed to the gills, weighed down, and had no visibility like his normal zippy little car. Scared the crap out of me most of the way here.

12. Well, you missed the Cheney impeachment flamefest

And the UFO flamefest, and the Kucinich flamefest.

And the Kucinich-impeaching-Cheney flamefest.

And the Kucinish-seeing-a-UFO flamefest.

Then it evolved (devolved?) into a general ESP flamefest.

Then a ESP-vs.-science flamefest.

I think the Cheney-seeing-a-UFO flamefest is still open. Enjoy!
