 NB>> Can't blame you there...  ;)   At the moment, I seem to be able to stay
 NB>> on top of things and stay current... so at least I shouldn't be sending
 NB>> you lots all at once...  
 DAG> Well, while that may be working well for you, I fear that good sir
 DAG> Rob Starr has gone down and left me without a connection for quite some
 DAG> time now.  I'm not quite sure how much of what I've written is still
 DAG> behind the waiting dam-burst, but it's been quite awhile.  So in our
 DAG> future I see a torrential flood of messages coming for you and others,
 DAG> and then much time with my furious scrabbling to keep up as the replies
 DAG> start to come in again.  *grin* 

Odd, that...  As far as I've seen, there hasn't been any deluge from
you... just a message or two per packet, and they've been answering
rather older messages, up to about yesterday's packet, where you
answered one (of what was supposed to be two) that I sent out the day
before... goes for both Dads and Asian_Link... First message in this
reply packet is a resend of the missing one in A_L, btw... 

 DAG>> the green far enough so that I can start making deposits again.
 NB>> Sounds good... :)  Definitely moving in the right direction...  :)
 DAG> Well, I haven't made it to the bank yet, and deposit(s) other than
 DAG> just the minimal 2 seem to be lacking (though one is for multiple
 DAG> combined pay periods). Regardless, when I get this stuff in (hopefully
 DAG> today) I should be back up into a bit over 4 digits.  Unfortunately the
 DAG> work dried up again right quick after that last little bit.  I expect
 DAG> the belt is going to have to stay pretty tight until well after the
 DAG> holiday season here. 

Maybe for the best... more reason to rein in holiday impulse buying and
make fewer (possibly even less expensive) things count for more... ;)  

 NB>> More hours authorized is very good... :)  The creative exercise is
 NB>> probably actually part of why they hire the work out instead of trying
 NB>> to do it themselves...  ;)
 DAG> It was great while it lasted, yeah.  Felt really good to be working
 DAG> again for a stretch, that's for sure.  Brings a lot more of a sense of
 DAG> accomplishment to one's life.  Money doesn't hurt, either.  Though now
 DAG> that I put it that way I cannot help but think of exactly how the root
 DAG> of all evil has hurt so very many on this planet.
 
The actual quote there is that the LOVE of money is the root of all
evil... not the money itself...  :)  And, it is indeed true that the
chasing after and lusting after money has certainly hurt many.... both
the chasers and the trodden-overs in that pursuit...  

 NB>> That actually sounds like very sound advice... easier to acclimatize
 NB>> yourself that way to the pressures of being in that world of people...
 DAG> Yeah I had to miss a few days due to some horrific bronchitis and a
 DAG> fever that hovered around 102 for awhile.  I should be able to get back
 DAG> there today, though.  I don't know if it's going to be nice today and
 DAG> really don't care; I'm going to make it out there and read my biomom's
 DAG> manuscript for awhile and catch up on some paper journaling entries. 
 DAG> Heck, maybe I'll even take my laptop with and try writing some code if
 DAG> I've got enough initiative, too. 

And did you get out there and accomplish anything...?  ;)

 NB>> Chuckle.  ;)  My laptop has just been "upgraded" from an Epson 486 to a
 NB>> Toshiba Satellite Pro (don't remember if it's another 486 or something
 NB>> later)...  Last year, with my old one, my niece spotted it and exclaimed
 NB>> That's a Dinasaur!     My new one is pretty much a dinasaur, too, but
 NB>> at least it works...  ;)
 DAG> Nice!  My laptop is a Toshiba, too.  I can't remember the model
 DAG> offhand, but I think it's somewhere around PPro class, definitely a
 DAG> dino, but it's built like a tank and it's not so bad when it's running
 DAG> good.  No reason to have all of that hardcore hardware if you really
 DAG> don't need it.  If a person can't be patient and fetch a cup of coffee
 DAG> or tea while something is crunching a little bit of data, well then
 DAG> they've got more money than I.  ;) 

Checking in the meantime... my Toshiba is a pentium... ;)  Works plenty
fast for me, but then I'm rarely really crunching data, usually just
typing on it... or playing solitaire on it... 

Getting long again...  Hopefully you get both this message and the one
I'm splitting off to...
