Guest #1 January 27, 2015 Hey everyone, I have come back to the USA after nine years working overseas. I am in Silver Spring, Md for a couple of weeks of training, then returning at last to Seattle. If anyone would like to meet up, kindly PM me for my Seattle cell number. Thanks! ."The mouse does not know life until it is in the mouth of the cat."

wmw999 2,452 #2 January 27, 2015 Well, I'm not in either area, but welcome back! Wendy P.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest #3 January 27, 2015 Thx, Wendy. I have a pretty good idea of how Odysseus must have felt, what with his dog dying, suitors on his doorstep, etc. hahaha B-) ."The mouse does not know life until it is in the mouth of the cat." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest #7 January 27, 2015 quadeWelcome back, buddy. Thanks, Paul! It's really weird to be back after having been gone for so long. The culture shock is surprising. mh ."The mouse does not know life until it is in the mouth of the cat." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quade 4 #8 January 27, 2015 markharju It's really weird to be back after having been gone for so long. The culture shock is surprising. I can not even imagine. The world changes in the blink of an eye, yet some things remain the same, yet other things didn't even exist just that short of a time ago. Beer pretty much tastes the same. Go with that for starters. quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
