That’s all. I just though it needed to be said.
Thanks!
[sup]Whattayamean you weren’t talking to me?[/sup]
Well, my dear, I’m hardly a ‘guy’, but I sure missed you too.
::runs in and grabs you close, then plants a long, sweet kiss on your lips and runs out giggling::
[singing] Astroboy bombs away…
fighting evil today! [/singing]
Hey PB, where’d the extra “r” come from?
And what in the hell are you doin’ in Texas?!!
Believe it or not, I was thinking about you the other day, wondering what you were up to and why you hadn’t been posting lately.
So, what ya been up to? Why haven’t you been posting lately?
Were you gone somewhere?
Welcome back, ChiefScott! 
How the hell are ya?
Where you been?
Whatcha been doin?
I think he was on a big boat, fighting evil around the world. Like a superhero.
<smilies diabled>
Ahem. :smack:
How you been, Chief?
We’ve missed you, too!
Zette
Hee… I’ve had the extra r for a while now, dear. Shows how much attention you’ve been paying to me. 
And I hate to tell you, but I’ve lived in Texas this time since 1997. In fact, from '73-'81, '85-'95, and from '97 till now.
[sub]noticing that he apparently didn’t even feel or notice that kiss you gave him…[/sub]
Well, hiya, handsome!
It’s not evident in his posts, but I know for a fact that Chiefscott struggles, daily, with his Smiley addiction. I’ve seen his room (don’t ask me how). The walls are covered in Smileys. The furniture, the sheets, the rubber underwear… smileys, everywhere!
(Just trying to get to the top of the ol’ Shitlist…)
Well, guys, I’ve been quite busy. Much has happened. Among the most important developments…
-
I re-married the ex-wife. Though I’m still in the Navy stationed in Virginia, my wife and son (Skirmie, for those of you who’ve forgotten) reside up in New Jersey.
-
I’ve put in my retirement papers and will be departing the Navy in February after 20+ years.
-
I’ve been seeking a “retirement villa” in an adequate school district in Jersey so my son won’t be saddled with an inept education.
-
The mighty IKE is well into her refueling and complex overhaul… this occupies most of my time.
-
And finally, I’m actively seeking employment in the Monmouth/Ocean County-region of Jersey.
All this, combined with the 7 hour trips to and from my family have severely limited my “on line” time.
That’s about it FCM. Hey, Zette and Arden! There’s nothing better’n sweet stuff squared! 'Grats SPOOFE you’ve achieved your goals… the F/A-18s have been vectored to your proximity.
And PB, of courrse I felt your kiss. But if I’d mentioned that fact, I would have had to inforrm everyone wherre I felt yourr kiss. (Extra “r’s” added in deference to PB’s username.)
With smileys painted on the tips of the tactical-nukes, I presume?
C’mon, admit it… the irony of such a thing would be irresistable…
Wow! Grats on the re-marriage, an on the impening retirement! Must feel good!
(desperately fighting urge to insert a smilie or three…)
Welcome back, man!
Congratulations Chief… I wish you and your family the very best.
Fair Winds, and Following Seas to You…
And BZ On a successful career, too!
So, is this a hit-n-run, or has the overhaul actually turned you loose for a bit…?
