> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Lemur866 \* > \*\*Sorry I missed the deadline for my last move. And I WAS going to order A Gas S A Por-Spa, thus leaving me with Portugal and keeping me alive for another turn. But I have a good excuse. My first child was born Monday, and I’ve been a little bit distracted. She’s cute and pink and perfect. So getting snuffed out isn’t so bad. Ah well, I had fun, but as you said there’s nothing you can do when all 3 of your neighbors decide to team up and destroy you. > \*\* The old – my wife just had a baby – excuse. Well, who hasn’t used that one? Just remember to only pull it out every 9-10 months?😉 Actually, a hearty congratulations! There will never be anything better, some things equal, but nothing better. There is no greater feeling then to sneak into your little daughter’s room and watch her sleep. It’ll will break your heart, in the best way possible, every single night. ---

It’s noon and I’m dying to find out whose knives are sticking from my back (ok, poor choice of words). Plus we’ve been relegated to page 3. Nobody reads page 3. Gotta get back to the top. ---

24 hour delay on 1046 orders. It seems that one of your number had TWO (2) measley wisdom teeth out THREE (3) whole days ago and is not up to Dip snuff due to Percs and Vics, so I am granting a 1 day extension in order that I not have to try and translate orders like " Air Force Peru to London ". Orders are now due Friday morning. ( _I_ had all 4 out at once, local anesthesia only, and was at work the next day. I r0\>\<\>\<0r!! 😛 ) ---

Guys, I just reviewed the F08 orders, and I hate to admit this, but… **Dave** adjudicated based on a set of provisional orders. My final orders have me losing Sev too (I told you that would be my “gesture,” **Shibb** ). And they were in long before the deadline.
