E-M, I trust you used the toilet in St Martins, thus fulfilling the ancient prophecy: She crept into the crypt, crapped and crept out again.

Of course :grin: :grin: that's actually why we went there in the first place, and only then did we see how good the food was. So I'll have to amend the ancient prophecy:

She crept into the crypt, crapped, ate and crept out again.

I got Christmas night off this year (for my birthday which is day after), so I get tonight and tomorrow night off! An extra weekend! I come back Saturday night and then I'm off for two nights again. :D

I'm a little ecstatic here for the extra time off... Especially being off the entirety of Christmas for the first time in years.

You're not joking. He kept it in the simulator room and got each of the drivers to sign it as they came in. The book alone would have been great!

That is a most excellent gift. What a wonderful son you have.

Than you. I'm lucky I have 3 great kids. An a wonderful, and very tolerant wife!

Actually just last night I was reflecting on the lift 'home' I got at 5am by Mrs Tank. A rare gem that one!  :)

The universe is a cold, uncaring void. The key to happiness isn't a search for meaning, it's to just keep yourself busy with unimportant nonsense, and eventually you'll be dead!

It finally feels a little more like winter. We got a little snow... Not much, but at least it looks and feels a little more wintry than before.

There's been a lot of weird weather from what I've heard. Indiana has skipped snow and gone straight to ice storms.

There were tornado warnings to the South of where I live Saturday. Pretty sure they got snow today.

I would hesitate to say that's as crazy as it gets where I live, though. I've literally went to bed to 82 degrees and woke up to snow on the ground the next morning.

I just got notification that the bank that holds my private student loans has decided to forgive them, all $36,208.15. They've decided it's not worth trying to squeeze blood from an onion any more. Basically, my undergraduate degree is paid off. I still owe substantial federal loans, but they're much more manageable than the private loan sharks. I can't believe the threatening letters and phone calls are finally going to come to an end.  I'm still in shock, to be honest.
