I’M BACK!!! At least for the next ten days. After that, I’ll be on probation. But, I’M BACK!!! Quick list, things I learned during my hiatus from the Internet: 1. Apparently, KinderEggs are a threat to US Nat’l Security, since Customs felt the need to smash mine all to bits. (Thanks, though, **Pipeliner** , I ate the bits and most everything you sent me was delish.) 2. If there’s ice on the road, a 90 degree turn up a hill, and a guardrail over a precipice up ahead, one might wish to slow down one’s car. 3. If your sunroof leaks, you might not have a choice but to caulk it completely over, especially if it leaks to the point of leaving 2" puddles in your seats and floorboards. Another quick list, GOOD things that happened: 4. I got my acceptance letter, out-of-state fee waiver, and a bunch of other stuff ensuring my attendance at Mississippi State in Fall '01. 5. Gunny sent me letters. 6. I got Canucky goodies from Pipeliner as mentioned above under Things I Learned. Lord, it’s good to be back. ---

He is. He told me. He’s practically urinating himself in pleasure. 🙂 Welcome back, Racinchikki!!! I still have fond memories of you and even if you married the guy I secretly am…(well, was) in love with, I don’t care. I’m so glad you’re back!! 😛 ---

**Odie** – No prob, dude, it’s the thought that counts. 🙂 **Rasa** – Yep, I guess I’m just y’all’s Christmas/Hannukah/Atheist-Children-Get-Presents-Day gift. And if Gun was beside himself, would that mean there would be TWO of him? Hmmmmmmmmm… possibilities ---

Oh MAN! Those kinder eggs are the absolute greatest marketing invention EVER! I love those things. But NOOOOO, can’t have food and stuff you can choke on in the same item… this is all Bush’s fault… ---

**racin** : Glad you got the CARE package, more in less in one piece. If US Customs did that to your Kinder eggs, I hate to think what would’ve happened to the Cuban cigars I was going to send. Welcome back, and congrats on the acceptance letter. I won’t be back until January 8 or so, so have a good whatever. ---
