Welcome back, Shell. Good to see you here again!

Oh, and congratulations on the grand, too! Are you close enough to be able to spoil the little one? Or do you have to cross the pond to do that?

by shellbot

Well, I'm back studying and looking for a job, so in prep for returning to the world of IT I thought I should poke my head in the door :)

Have to go across the pond :( Thank g0d for skype though !!

by ansugisalas

this is a library!

Wait, it isn't!!! What the frack is wrong with this place?!?
Oh, right - MIA: the FB refugees and the dearly departed :(

I dunno... the place manages to jump to life for a few hours a month, so I guess we're pretty close to some kind of viability threshold.
Just need a few more good blabbermouths might be enough to get the synergy going again.

by shellbot

Thank you. Thankfully I've managed to retain my youthfulness, no rocking chair for me yet :)

by shellbot

are good, makes for interesting threads! Maybe we can get some banter going, although this new layout isn't easy on the eyes...

by purpleskys

Even though we banter some on fb, it's awesome to see you back here :) Congrats on the new grandbaby as well! :D

by shellbot

We gotta work on sprucing this place up a bit. I see some Yuks have been posted occasionally, but not much posting to them.
Me thinks people taking themselves way too seriously, lol!!

by purpleskys

a couple folks have started Friday yuks and i threw in a monday funny...but it definitely needs a "new coat of paint" ;) . I know some folks wander in and out the door without any of us knowing they are here and I understand that. Life does tend to get in the way at times. I'm not working these days (I've been restructured out of my job :( ) so I try to be here a little more; we'll see how that works now that school is out for the year. Anyway, I intend on keeping up with the funnies when I can...and I think I'll go find one :D !

by tony hopkinson

I only pop in here every now and then as well. Looks like TR swapped community for audience and ended up with neither to me..

by jfuller05

My generation seems to have a severe case of the "add,"[b]1[/b] rendering them unable to hold conversations in public and apparently even on the interweb. *sigh*

1. Thought it's not actually add, it's apathy to everything and everyone (in my opinion). They go from one thing to the next without even a care as to the social damage being caused. Again, *sigh*.

by shellbot

Hope your keeping well! Yes, I persused a bit and the site is heavy on catering to an audience. Shame, we had such a good thing goin here....

See just how bad Pallies Brain Damage has got. He knows that he has to wear that helmet at all times to stop it getting any worse and he here he is removing it yet again. :0

Col

by shellbot

What can I say Col, he likes it when I do that to him :)

You all ok way down there? All in one peice?

by shellbot

I'm honoured :)

I'm scared though. Can I say that word now, on here? Its all changed so much, wil I get in trouble???

B**** SLAP for Palmie !!!!!!!

by hal 9000

I think I can say what I like because the silly people at TR made me a Moderator and I get to avoid most of the filters. :p

All great here I'm just waiting for [b]SWMBO[/b] to do as I told her and get the winning Lotto Numbers so I can retire and play with my Play Toys. Naturally she's still disobedient and refuses to get the winning numbers. :0

by jfuller05

We barely talked back in what I considered the "good ol' days" (back when I started TR in '09). While I wasn't ever an integral part to many of the good threads, I creeped and chimed in here and there. I miss the craziness that used to go down here at TR.

by shellbot

a name :) I remember seeing you around.

Ah yes, the craziness was good, I miss it myself :(

by shellbot

I gonna try and hang out here again once in a while..FB just not geeky enough :)
Plus gotta behave with the offspring on there, and being a granbot, have to appear halfway respectable to those who know me. Now, the people that REALLY know me are on here (or were anyways), so I can cut loose a bit :)

by av .

Congrats on your new grandchild. Thats wonderful news. We're all still here, but not as much. Some people got disgusted with the whole upgrade thing and haven't been back and now I think there is more competition from FB.

AV

by shellbot

Ya, the upgrade thing has been an annoyance for a long time now. I left as I was taking a break from work/tech/online. I'm abo0ut to get back into it though, so thought I'd see if I could liven up my fav haunt :P)

by shellbot

I noticed a few peeps have the "mod" avatar. I'm jealous, however thats what I get for staying away for so long I guess. Maybe once I am back a while they let me be one too??? Probably not though, I'm usually the one who needs to be moderated ]:)

Hmmm, must look into this. I've also requested my other half win the lotto, he is not complying with my wishes. DO you think they are simply not understanding, or are they doing it on purpose??

by hal 9000

As [b]SWMBO[/b] got a Lotto Card in My Name so I have to be the one to claim the prize and she couldn't disappear with the winnings. :D

She's the one who asked her son did he want to come home one night and he returned home with his wife to drive me nuts. He tells everyone that he's only here to help his parents and that i suppose is he keeps breaking things and expects me to repair them for him so he's keeping me busy.

[b]SWMBO[/b] caused the problem and wants out and I'll make no comment about the daughter in law but the Nonstick Pots and Pans seem to be replaced quite a bit lately when someone takes a metal scourer and other Metal implements of Destruction to them. Possibly a time where buying the best isn't a good idea. :0

by hal 9000

Like all females left to have a Grandchild. :D

You just can not count on any female to stay put at a job these days. ;)

by hal 9000

What could I do wrong Pally?

Besides Shelly is in Europe it's at least a 30 Hour flight for her to come get me. :^0

Also when she complains I can always delete the offending post as well as the responses to it and others will think that she's lost it. :D

Only takes 2 mouse clicks. ;)

by seanferd

I really hope you enjoy being a Gran. Congratulations to you and your family.

And hi to everybody else, too.

by ansugisalas

Hi! I definitely think we have enough fissionable material now... :D
Now to set up the hubbub-reflectors and the mcguffinators!
Should have this site back on production schedule soon.

by deadly ernest

they make a delivery to you. They don't call on me now as one got sick after trying the mouse baits I have down for the field mice plague we've had for the last few years.

by jamesrl

Y'all think I'm being pretty quiet, its because Shelly and I correspond regularly on FB.

Nice to see Seanferd and DE back.

by deadly ernest

using Farcebook,such a naughty boy you are. FB is known to lower your IQ by two points for each month of usage.

by seanferd

I sort of had to take a break from this place, but I never forget my awesome peers, as they used to say. I've only poked in here and there, and sometimes been quite frustrated enough to leave again when I couldn't post a comment (my favorite was Permission Denied - yeah, bite me, server).

But gee, thanks for the response. :) I love you all, too. :-bd

But Shellbot - w00t! It's been ages. Everyone wave at Shellbot some more.

by deadly ernest

seconds later poor Shellbot is drenched by the many huge waves and attempting to stand again when the wave from Sundry knocks her down again.

by shellbot

Little do you know I taught myself to float a few months back!! Ya ya, maybe not a bit thing for most, but a huge triumph for me!

by shellbot

Me feels special (i forget the blushing emoticon *dang*)

Hope your doing well Seanferd!
I'm enjoying the Granny thing, once I got over the shock that is :D

by hal 9000

Which is more than I can say for the Alerts that should have come out last night. :D

But as the Site has been moved from one Server Farm to another considering just how much is working it's pretty good. ;)

by charliespencer

Looks like the server change also made 404 the Official Number of TechRepublic. I'm seeing them a lot this evening.
