While the forum was down, I noticed things around the house. 1. The garage needs cleaning. 2. I have a wife, Where in the hell did she come from? 3. The patio needs cleaning. 4. The auto's need maintenance. 5. The house needs painting. 6. I have a wife, wait I said that, but she says it bears repeating. Now with all that said, how do you stack up to these questions. 1. Did you find yourself thinking about BonsaiTALK at work? 2. Was the first thing you do in the morning to check if the website was back up? 3. Was the first thing you do after coming home from work to check if the forum was back up? 4. Did you find yourself raceing through dinner to check if the site was back up and be the first one to "re-post"? 5. Did you make a file of posts on "MS Word" and save them to be copied and pasted on return of the forum? 6. When your partner gave you the "look" (sexual) did you tell them you would be there in one moment, while sneaking into the computer room to check if the site was back? Now depending on how you answer these simple questions, please take the poll, Bonsai-al __________________ Real men don't wear coats with "happi" in the title.

ROTFL!

Actually, I think my wife had rather a similar reaction to the forum being down ("Hey, I have a husband, where in the hell did he come from?"). I didn't have anything to do, and so I kept bothering her to come look at pictures in back issues of Bonsai Today. Not she gives a damn about them, mind you, but she does such a good job of faking it.

All the best,
OMC

Happy that all is well with only minor losses. Good work Matt, on bringing the forum back to life. peace, tom stoute __________________ peace, tom stoute http://bonsaiinsights.spaces.live.com/

The hardest part was when I realized I haven't been here for more than six months so my s/n had been deleted. __________________ "Success demands understanding"-Andy Rutledge Charles Bevan Vero Beach, Fl
