So... how y'all doin'?
 

It's been a long time since I've seen or talked with a lot of you. I think the last time was the Fall MA and even then I didn't get to talk with most of youse guys -- too much frantic running around on my part. :mad:

You've all done a really great job with this board. Looks super groovy and the vibe is nicely nicely. I should find an old Martin Denny tiki music LP and play it while reading threads on this board. ;) Major snaps. :cool:

I'm still doing my thing over at the other board. Life is still crazy with my younger dog, Tekaya, now a year and a half old. We're doing obedience training, which is helping a lot, then I'm going to start her on agility training (doggie obstacle courses). Tekaya already knows how to climb trees so I think she's going to be a natural on agility equipment. Maybe she'll stop attacking the couch, my books, the cat.... :rolleyes:

I'm still at the same old software development job, continuing to watch my blood pressure rise and my hair go gray from it all. But hey, it's a job and I've got a paycheck!

Glad to see so many familiar screen names here.... :)

Sheila

Do I know you? ;)

Welcome to the LoT! Glad you dig our digs, good to see you here.

Hey, Sheila- good to see you here!:cool:

HI Sheila !! Good to see you again ! *hugs*

Yay, Sheila! Welcome. Love your stuff at the other board.
:)

Howdy Sheila. I always knew that a classy lady like you would listen to Martin Denny. I love his music. Welcome.

Hey, Sheila! It's good to hear from you! :D

Good to see you here! :)

I love watching dogs agility contests on TV. So cute! :D Good luck with your pup.

We'll see you at the spring MA, yes?

Pssst - that's just her screen name

Cheers, Sheila - your secret identity is safe with me.

Sheila! Nice ta see ya!

Hey there, Sheila. :) I still see you on the other board....but not as often. I still think you're the bee's knees, lady!

Thank you everybody for such a warm welcome. Makes me feel all tingly and stuff. :D

GD, yeah it *has* been a long time! And so much has happened in the meantime. Golly. Now that you guys have gone capitalistic as board owners, etc., does this mean you're now really an anti-antidisestablishmentarian?

CP - Thanks for the wishes of luck on the doggy training. Right now, the pup doesn't care what I ask her to do, just as long as there's a beef liver snack for her trouble. Hmmm.... Yes, indeedy, I'll be at the Spring MA. You guys don't know what you're in for. Muahahaha! Stay tuned....

Hey, Big Mac Daddy Meineke! Thank you times a squillion for protecting my name. I'd hate for anyone on the Internet to know my real identity. ;)

So if I may be so bold, can someone direct me to a link or shoot me a PM or post here how the Cult of Swank came into being? I sense a story behind this.... :D

Big hugs to all.

hmm...Sheila..sounds familiar

We are, apparently, "The Pancake People." And we will TURN on you.

Apparently.

Welcome, did I say welcome yet? Welcome Sheila, to the world o'Swank.

Sheila, darling! I'm so glad you're here. I have to admit, you were on the A list for one of my swanking expeditions - until I just had to discuss those important topics with you.

I'm so glad you registered and joined our swanking home. There is a story, and the FAQs tell a bit of it, but, I believe you have my number, don't you? ;)

Cheers and Ciao!

Why did I read this as: We will turn you on? :blush:

Because we will.. :cool:

Because, we can't help ourselves! ;)

;) < This little kitty can wink better than I can!

Don't miss the FAQ, it's a great read. :cool:

Hello there!Oh yes, I do! Another moral victory for the BEC! Muahahaha!
