    NB>> Can't blame you there...  ;)   At the moment, I seem to be able to stay   
    NB>> on top of things and stay current... so at least I shouldn't be sending   
    NB>> you lots all at once...     
    DAG> Well, while that may be working well for you, I fear that good sir   
    DAG> Rob Starr has gone down and left me without a connection for quite some   
    DAG> time now.  I'm not quite sure how much of what I've written is still   
    DAG> behind the waiting dam-burst, but it's been quite awhile.  So in our   
    DAG> future I see a torrential flood of messages coming for you and others,   
    DAG> and then much time with my furious scrabbling to keep up as the replies   
    DAG> start to come in again.  *grin*    
      
   Odd, that...  As far as I've seen, there hasn't been any deluge from   
   you... just a message or two per packet, and they've been answering   
   rather older messages, up to about yesterday's packet, where you   
   answered one (of what was supposed to be two) that I sent out the day   
   before... goes for both Dads and Asian_Link... First message in this   
   reply packet is a resend of the missing one in A_L, btw...    
      
    DAG>> the green far enough so that I can start making deposits again.   
    NB>> Sounds good... :)  Definitely moving in the right direction...  :)   
    DAG> Well, I haven't made it to the bank yet, and deposit(s) other than   
    DAG> just the minimal 2 seem to be lacking (though one is for multiple   
    DAG> combined pay periods). Regardless, when I get this stuff in (hopefully   
    DAG> today) I should be back up into a bit over 4 digits.  Unfortunately the   
    DAG> work dried up again right quick after that last little bit.  I expect   
    DAG> the belt is going to have to stay pretty tight until well after the   
    DAG> holiday season here.    
      
   Maybe for the best... more reason to rein in holiday impulse buying and   
   make fewer (possibly even less expensive) things count for more... ;)     
      
    NB>> More hours authorized is very good... :)  The creative exercise is   
    NB>> probably actually part of why they hire the work out instead of trying   
    NB>> to do it themselves...  ;)   
    DAG> It was great while it lasted, yeah.  Felt really good to be working   
    DAG> again for a stretch, that's for sure.  Brings a lot more of a sense of   
    DAG> accomplishment to one's life.  Money doesn't hurt, either.  Though now   
    DAG> that I put it that way I cannot help but think of exactly how the root   
    DAG> of all evil has hurt so very many on this planet.   
       
   The actual quote there is that the LOVE of money is the root of all   
   evil... not the money itself...  :)  And, it is indeed true that the   
   chasing after and lusting after money has certainly hurt many.... both   
   the chasers and the trodden-overs in that pursuit...     
      
    NB>> That actually sounds like very sound advice... easier to acclimatize   
    NB>> yourself that way to the pressures of being in that world of people...   
    DAG> Yeah I had to miss a few days due to some horrific bronchitis and a   
    DAG> fever that hovered around 102 for awhile.  I should be able to get back   
    DAG> there today, though.  I don't know if it's going to be nice today and   
    DAG> really don't care; I'm going to make it out there and read my biomom's   
    DAG> manuscript for awhile and catch up on some paper journaling entries.    
    DAG> Heck, maybe I'll even take my laptop with and try writing some code if   
    DAG> I've got enough initiative, too.    
      
   And did you get out there and accomplish anything...?  ;)   
      
    NB>> Chuckle.  ;)  My laptop has just been "upgraded" from an Epson 486 to a   
    NB>> Toshiba Satellite Pro (don't remember if it's another 486 or something   
    NB>> later)...  Last year, with my old one, my niece spotted it and exclaimed   
    NB>> That's a Dinasaur!     My new one is pretty much a dinasaur, too, but   
    NB>> at least it works...  ;)   
    DAG> Nice!  My laptop is a Toshiba, too.  I can't remember the model   
    DAG> offhand, but I think it's somewhere around PPro class, definitely a   
    DAG> dino, but it's built like a tank and it's not so bad when it's running   
    DAG> good.  No reason to have all of that hardcore hardware if you really   
    DAG> don't need it.  If a person can't be patient and fetch a cup of coffee   
    DAG> or tea while something is crunching a little bit of data, well then   
    DAG> they've got more money than I.  ;)    
      
   Checking in the meantime... my Toshiba is a pentium... ;)  Works plenty   
   fast for me, but then I'm rarely really crunching data, usually just   
   typing on it... or playing solitaire on it...    
      
   Getting long again...  Hopefully you get both this message and the one   
   I'm splitting off to...    
      
   ttyl          neb   
      
   ... The only one who gets things done by Friday is Robinson Crusoe.
