This thread is resurrected from the dead! Again. Just how many lives does a thread have, anyway? If cats have nine, is it because they have catgut to hold them together? Would that be considered ties that bind? This thread is feeling kinda lonely right now… ---

It is indeed fortunate that enough people want this thread to survive that they are willing, from time to time, to give it that little spark to keep the flame glowing if not blazing. As long as this thread has posts, it continues to live, and thus becomes part of the legend of threads on this board. Maybe it’s time for the ones who only read this thread (or check in to see if anything really significant has been posted) to add a thought on this thread’s real value. Maybe not. ---

This thread was made for you and me. or, This thread ain’t goin nowhere this thread… and for me who’s been working now for whatever 48 - 3.5 hours is sleep the raveled thread that knits the sleeve of care I know I made some mistakes here but I just now figured I’ve been up 44.5 hours. It took me a few readings of that compilicatish equstrinatish algerbay-ish statement above to actually fugure out how long I’ve been working. Granted a few breaks were had. I’m home now and I think I’ll have a drink and then sleep. Tomorrow I wil continue another project. Packing. I am MOVING! Indoor pool. Outdoor pool. and more good stuff. Jacuzzi, sauna… And… I’m on the water of Linkhorn Bay! This thread is about moving away! A whole 1 mile and still just blocks from the ocean. ---
