And there was me thinking this was going to be some kind of crazy flame war thing that'd been going on while my back was turned. I'm disappointed in y'all!
 
Lol....hahaha....I don't believe it. From the decription of "GrumpyDwarf", I thought it was your old mate Rhavin2112. :loco:

Welcome back...and yeah, it is killing me not being able to go to Megadeth. Even without Chicago, it would be nigh impossible. Kid #2 is really not doing well. :(
 
lizard, doom: how is thee? (liz, congrats for ending a century's worth of uselessness ;) )

Ali: WHAT? What do you mean, not doing well? Anything I can offer to help Heath out? I lost another job (long story, we should catch up one of these days) and have loads o' time.

Ah, it's nothing really serious but it's enough to seek medial attention. He's got really bad reflux -- we've had to see 3 doctors, we've had prescribed zantac for the guy, and he was born early so that didn't help. The result is, lots of spitting up (can't keep milk down), no sleep, and lots of crying. Babies should sleep 15 hours a day and he's on about 6. They say that he'll grow out of it in 6 months, and so the prospect of that is pretty harsh if I'm back on the road.

Sorry to hear you lost your job, wow. That was pretty new too. My job is in jeapordy too, so a return to the UK might be an option. That and Bush winning, harhar.
 
Jeez, sorry to hear that. Sounds like "adult" acid reflux in a way. On a positive note, it doesn't sound as if the doctors don't have a clue (i.e. it's not bubonic plague) so I'm sure with the proper care & attention, the lil' bugger will turn out just fine. Look at it this way, perhaps once he becomes a teenager, he'll retain the memory of this and be able to vomit on people on cue! He'll be famous, or at least on SNL.

Yes, it was a pretty new job, 7 months to the day I was let go. Some such nonsense as a merger and sales being down (company-wide, not just with me), thus, I got LIFO'd (last in, first out). Ah well, I have 3 interviews already lined for next Mon & Tues. Something will turn up, hopefully before my December rent is due. :zombie:

thx dude I can't believe the cardinals rolled over so easily, but I'll take it.

glad to see you back.

No shit! The Sox beat the 2nd-best team in the league to get to the dance (though I think the Astros would have been a much, much tougher opponent) and then just coasted. Who'da thunk it?

Incidentally, bookmark this thread. If the Yankees sign Pedro, I'm renouncing my fandom until he's out of pinstripes. Just an FYI.

Heh, yeah, it's more of a problem with one just maintaining their sanity. I won't lie, but hearing a baby cry day and night is amazingly stressfull, especially when you can't just hand him off to someone else to takeover. Hence the option of having to move near family. (Heather's family is not an option). MOST of all though, poor Chloe. She just doesn't get it, and of course she's being totally neglected, and it is just heartbreaking because she is such a good 2 year old (nearly 3 in January!).

Something will turn up, the job market is much better than it was 7 months ago. You gotta try 'american job market', they list such cool jobs. Amazon post all their vacancies there, and they list stuff for product marketing managers for the music/videogame/DVD department. That would be such a cool role - one of the requirements is, "you must love music, videogames, and movies". :lol: Dream job in Manhattan or what?
