It's only been about 3 years. Nice to know you're still alive.

You need two more posts for 4,444.

Another mass shooting in America.

What the hell is wrong with this country?

Greetings to all the usual suspects. Been working like a fool for months but finished with the renovation.
Hope all is well here.

Still not sure when we will move. We have to sell first. We completely redid the place. Took a year of full time work and now that its completely refinished, repaired, replaced and restored we are on the market finally. Fingers crossed that it doesnt take too long to sell. We are priced competitively.

Somewhat similarly, our office manager sold her home and is spending the next two or so years bopping around Europe...

And she's currently in Paris, where are all chaos is currently going on.

Been cold here the last couple days so I put on one of my long sleeve shirts I hadn't worn in awhile. Realized how long when in one of the pockets I found an ATM receipt dated "1/2/04".

Think I'll check the pockets in all my other shirts.

Hope she's been enjoying the rest of it at least.

Not so much as a tuft of lint.

JDorama member ralph1999 passed away this morning. Here's a link to his website/blog:http://ralphmoratz.com/

Escaping from Nazi Germany, working as an extra in Hollywood in the 1950's and '60s. To say Ralph had an interesting life is putting it mildly.

RIP, Ralph.

I haven't stopped by in a while... but I just wanted to remember ralph1999 in his passing.

I got the update in Facebook. He was always so kind to me in the forums.

I hope everybody is fine and well.

Ralph passed away? Oh, that's sad. He sent me several of the Kohaku contests, just because I was interested. I'll never forget him for his love of everything Kuninaka Ryoko.

RIP, Ralph. He sent me DVDs of Churasan and Honmamon plus others, some of which I didn't ask for. He was always very nice and took time answering my questions.


My mother also passed away, on October 31st 2015. It's been half a year already... That used to feel like such a long time.

Looks like my kanji dictionary has finally bit the dust.

All this work and I still have to look up every third kanji I run across.

School started this week. Seeing the kids going to school brought back all the memories and I couldn't help but think, "I'm glad that shit is all behind me!!"

I am NEVER posting on a political thread on Facebook again.

Because:

1/3 of the people understand what you said and get it.

1/3 of the people are completely clueless and have no idea what you meant.

The last 1/3 (and these are the ones that bug me the most) think you're a supporter of the guy you're against!

Try political cartoons. They're worth a thousand words.
