Hi, everyone! It's been so long since I've been here... I've missed you guys! I needed to take a month or so off from most of my message boards, to appreciate them more. The ones I missed, I've come back to, so here I am and here I'll stay.

I'm trying to get used to the new message controls... whoa :D Everything looks fantastic. I'm going to check out all the new (to me) topics, too.

How's everyone been? Take care everybody!

Mary

Nice to see you back Mary.

Welcome back, Mary. Believe it or not, I was just thinking about you the other day. I came across one of your posts and realized we hadn't seen you lately. I'm glad to see you're back to stay.:)

Welcome back, my favorite geek! :D

Mary!!!
Believe it or not I was just thinking about you this morning wondering if you had moved to Arizona yet. I see your info still says Roe Dyelin...are you still going to go out west?
Good to see you back here.:D

LOL, thanks everyone! Yep, we are still in good old Rhode Island, and will be until my husband finishes his thesis. He was supposed to be done, originally, last July, but you know how these things go... he's about half finished now.

I don't expect we'll be moving West before the end of March, maybe even before his actual graduation in May. I won't mind having my job a little longer, this is not the best time to be flitting around the country looking for employment.

Now I can spend a couple more months saving up for those goofy academic robes he wants to buy, the ones that say, "Yes, I am a Ph.D., and I don't care who knows it!" Heh.

Good to see you back!!! Missed you here. Added some new forums while you were gone. Sure you'll enjoy it all. :)

Hey, Mary!!! I'm glad to see that you made it back to us. Like jen*, I was just thinking about you the other day as well. I was reading one of your old posts and I wondered where you had run off to!!! Welcome back!!!
:)

Good to see someone return after a long sabatical. I don't know you from a bar of soap, but I'm glad to see you're back anyway.:thumb:

Welcome back, Mary!
Yeah, the 80sxchange has had a face lift and it's getting better and better each time there's a change.
Sal is doing a great job!

:cry: You're making me all choked up!

I missed you all, too! (except Recker, whom I'm sure I would have missed had I ever met you! Hi... I'm Mary! *g*)

Pagan, I had totally forgotten about that Jane Curtin lookalike thing... it's mainly the picture. Jane Curtin's so cool. I hope I look anywhere near that good when I'm, ah, past 39. :angel:

I do have a whole lot of catching up to do... it's nice to be home. :)

Hey Mary! Nice to see ya around! :wave: You do have alot of catching up to do!!! Better take a month off from everything else so that you can catch up on your posts! LOL :lol:
