[QUOTE=Marley23] Not one of you went the obvious Bob Marley route, even though that’s actually where my name comes from. [/QUOTE] So shall we call you Judge Dredlocks when you close a thread? _And there was much wailing amid the swirling smoke when the thread was locked …_ ---

[QUOTE=Dead Cat] FYI, “Your Modesty” is how to address a Mod. The process of being inducted as a Moderator is known as “Modification”. [/QUOTE] Is pitting a mod in an attempt to get him/her to be a little less strict and a little more evenhanded for called modulation? Congrats, **Marley23**. ---

Then I’ll post again all loopy and you can give me a warning against posting drunk… [sub](I’ll resist a bit so it will look good in front of all the other mods.)[/sub] . ---

Congratulations! And I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I don’t know that it warrants an entire thread and I don’t want to resurrect a zombie thread, so, how’s your brother doing? (It’s not a tumah! or am I confusing you with another poster?) ---

[QUOTE=meek] It’s obvious the man never leaves this place… [/quote] Frankly I’m surprised you’re the first one to say this. It’s even scarier if you know that - well, assuming I remember this right - I made about a dozen posts in April 2002, then left and didn’t come back until March 2003. **supergoose** , that’s me you are thinking of. I just saw my brother yesterday and he’s doing well. He had a checkup earlier this month and everything was fine. He’s having some issues with his palate that I hope will clear up; it’s hurting his speech and he has to tilt his head back when he drinks, or else his beverage comes out his nose. But he’s healthy. We’re working on a book about our family’s experiences, and I hope to have the first draft done by the end of this month. I _had_ to pick this past weekend to get sick… ---
