Well guys it’s been fun, I’ve really enjoyed al the time I’ve spent here, and I’m going to miss you. It’s been obvious for quite sometime that my company would be going under or bought out. Well now it’s a pretty done deal, and soon I’ll be unemployed. As my employer provided my Internet service, and it was turned off a few days ago, until I find a new provider I’ll be without. As near as I can tell Tuesday will probably be my last day at work, though I might be gone as soon as today. It depends on how masochistic I’m feeling I suppose. I hope to be back within a month, but until I get another job, I won’t be signing up for a new Internet provider. Don’t worry too much about me. I have some savings so the family will be fine for a least a couple of months, and then there’s unemployment too. Ok I’m starting to ramble. I just wanted to say bye, before I get cut off. Take care Stuffy ---

Not european movies though so Snuffy, if you decide to move to France, make sure and cultivate your evil side. Good luck on the job hunt, or are you rich enough to retire? ---

WHAT is WRONG with you??? Food is optional, bugger the roof-over-the-head routine…the ONE essential in life is an internet connection to allow ready access to the real ‘staff of life’…US DOPERS! (that’s US by the way, not the U.S. dopers specifically, although they seem like a pretty decent crew. They can’t help where they were born 😃 ) So get your priorities right Stuffy, and get your arse back here real quick!
