Received True View photos and message that this coin is on the way back to the stable.
also, sang the National Anthem at a baseball game with my brothers and sister and a few nieces.
I lip synched

Sold the children and dog on eBay and voila... he's baaaaaaaaaaack

Goldbully

Glad you folks have other lives!!
You must surely realize this forum is not life's numismatic culmination?
Am I right?

Which were harder to have the children or the dog?


I just watched TV shows on my computer since I was there all ready. I like to watch Showtime on it rather than my TV.
Anybody got their desktop hooked to a HDMI 35 " TV?

I didn't know it was down. I went for a stroll with my German Wirehair, Bob. It was a gorgeous evening. He looks a little better when he hasn't just rolled in the mud.

morgansforever

Wasn't aware it was down. German Wirehair, weird I'm going with my parents today to pick up a German Shorthair tis morning. Their previous bird dog, a GS had to be put down because of a muscle degeneration disease. Nice image BryceM. CO? WY?

Four MORE children, and another future ex? Boy, if the forums go down again, you better think about moving to Utah, 'cause it's 'cheaper to keep her' (they're open minded there)!!!

Lakesammman

Had no idea it was down - thanks for the update.

TwoSides2aCoin, Are you the lead singer or backup

That was really great and I think you should quit your day job right now and immediately contact The Voice & American Idol

Tootawl

Went to the Paul McCartney concert in DC.

TwoSides2aCoin

lmao NotSure... Thanks Broadstruck. I'm standing out of sight behind the lead singer and next to the brunette... And I hope my family doesn't get mad that I posted this. They're fun to sing with.

Went on a date with my wife for the first time since our son was born (3 mo. ago). Had the best steak EVER - ribeye cut - perfectly seasoned and cooked, with equally tasty fixings. Our appetizer was fried risotto balls filled with hot melty pecorino. I even splurged for a fancy coc*tail. After dinner we strolled around the square, danced in the gazebo to the Jazz playing from my phone, stared at the moon and took a grainy photo [of ourselves], then stepped into a frozen yogurt shoppe for dessert. Nutella flavor. I let my wife choose the toppings, which included blackberries, Raisinets, Oreo crumbles, M&Ms, Reese's Pieces, and a piece of oatmeal creme cookie!

Oh yeah, almost forgot before we left for dinner I opened a package of NEWPs from our buddy Greg.
This is the toner in the bunch:



Can't believe I'm saying this but Greg's photo doesn't do it justice! There is rich, gorgeous blue around the rim, especially vibrant behind "ATLANTA." Might be my new favorite toner!

Was it down again?, whos fault was it this time

Well, it was down for a few hours at the most. I got a "Connection Dropped Unexpectedly by the Server. [reset peer]" error from Safari. It said it happens when the server gets busy, but I think it is CU mantinence. But I can't think what they could possibly fix in a couple of hours. This software probably crashed or something.

How long was the forum down this evening?
I believe it started around 7:00pm EST

TwoSides2aCoin

I applied for diplomatic immunity on the BST forum.

Nice, but I've heard it's really hard to get out of like a gym membership!

You need it since you gained 4 children and a dog during a very short 'CU Forums server down!'

While the forum was down on 7/14 (if in fact it really was) I pulled up my toilet to change the leaking wax ring, the Lincoln cent I used for a shim 10 years ago was completely dissolved and that's probablywhy it started leaking around the seal. Lesson learned, don't use Zincolons as shims, I should have used a pre-82 Memorial or a wheatie.

Fearing a shut down during the day on Saturday I headed out to the Arlington Fly In.....





While there I picked up this signed volume for my small library of WWII POW literature. I can only assume the two gold coins refer to coins given to WWII European Theater pilots for emergency funds if shot down.






I didn't notice if the Forum was down today since I happened to be hosting a book signing event for my granddaughter's first novel.
When I was her age, 14, I still had my finger up my nose and here she is with a completed manuscript for volume two in hand.

I flew to Las Vegas today and now she's baaaack!

And my almost-twelve-year-old daughter now has a signed copy of the first book, which fires up some of her ambitions.

Thanks, Gil!

Knowhutyoumean. At age fourteen I was still playing with toy cars and building Lego castles. Wow.
