We're back home.

1. They let you back in?

:hi:

[Redstone]

4. Amazingly enough.

Redstone

[Gormy Cuss]

7. So much for Homeland Security.

Wait until you give up your CT citizenship. Then you'll see how it works.

Hope you and Mrs. R. had a relaxing vacation. :-)

Redstone, it's great that the NH end of the deal is in place. I'm so happy to hear that.

[Redstone]

9. NH citizenship will be worse? How come?

Redstone

[Gormy Cuss]

13. They won't let you back into CT.

That "Live Free or Die" stuff scares them in southern N.E. :P
The Canadians on the other hand will scratch their head and wonder why you need any I.D. at all.

[Redstone]

19. NH should change its license plates. Instead of "Live Free or Die" they

should say "Come Here and Die."

Cheap booze.
Cheap cigs.
Cheap gas.
Real fireworks.

CT won't let me back in? Fuck 'em.

Redstone

[Gormy Cuss]

20. You are SO ready to move home, dear Redstone. n/t

[Redstone]

23. Yes, indeed. It's time.

[ZombieNixon]

2. Welcome back!

:hi:

[Redstone]

5. Thanks.

Redstone

[LeftyMom]

3. So what's up with the house?

Keeping us in suspense isn't cool.

[Redstone]

6. We made the deal.

Redstone

[greatauntoftriplets]

8. Excellent!

Now I guess you still have to sell your current house?

[Redstone]

11. Starting tomorrow. Wish us luck. If you don't mind.

Redstone

[greatauntoftriplets]

15. I will and hope my good luck at that rubs off...

A few months ago, my house sold in less than a week.

[LeftyMom]

14. Yay!

:woohoo:

[merh]

16. YAY!

Congrats & sending all sorts of luck your way (though maybe I shouldn't, my luck ain't been so good :silly: )

:hug:

[Redstone]

24. Well, if we DO have some spare luck, we'll send some your way.

Or maybe you'll come for a visit and pick it up to take back with you?

Redstone

[Whoa_Nelly]

64. Woohoo! Love that place!

Congrats! Hope all goes through easily and well! :woohoo:

[Redstone]

65. It will indeed be a great house to grow old with Mrs R in. Not that we'll

ever actually get old...

Thanks for the good wishes.

Redstone

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. My dear Redstone........

OK........now what?

Glad you're back!

:loveya:

:hug:

[Redstone]

12. Now what, what?

Redstone

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. Hmmm.......this just does not sound like you tonight......

My dear Redstone, are you feeling OK?

Normally, you have these lovely long posts.......but not tonight........

Are you feeling OK? I am concerned.

:hug:

[Redstone]

22. Nah. Just tired. Not to worry.

Redstone

[flvegan]

18. Congrats, sir!

Made it back "home" after making the deal. Best to you folks on closing the whole thing up, then moving.

Always good to hear about good things happening to/for good people.

[Redstone]

27. We'll be open for visitors within a month of moving; we're going to sell

most of our furniture instead of moving it, so the place will be pretty bare for a while, but there will always be a place for guests. And not in the barn, either...there's room in the house.

Redstone

[lost-in-nj]

21. Welcome Back!!

CONGRATULATIONS on the deal!!!!!!!!
I am so happy for you.

Good Luck on selling your house.
Hope your vacation was wonderful

29. Good to see you again. Thanks for the wishes.

I take back all the vicious comments I made about New Jersey drivers while we were suffering their collective and individual idiocy on the highways for the last week.

Redstone

[lost-in-nj]

32. No Problem!

I make vicious comments to

NJ drivers (some of them) suck

:)

25. It's good to see you again!

[BikeWriter]

26. Waving a hand, Pard.

:hi:

[Redstone]

30. BW! It's been a while. How goes it for you, hoss?

Redstone

[BikeWriter]

68. Same old stuff, different day. Trying to deal with it. I hope you guys...

are all okay. :)

[Redstone]

69. All is good here. I wish for all to be good for you as well.

Redstone

[BikeWriter]

71. Thank you, Pard. :-)

[WritingIsMyReligion]

28. So you moving further north, or what?

;)

:hi:

[Redstone]

33. With a bit of luck. We made the offer on the house in New Hampshire, and

they accepted it. Now we have to sell this one. Let's all cross our fingers, yes?

Redstone

[Ptah]

31. Welcome back.

How's your brother?

:shrug:

[Redstone]

34. Thank you for remembering that, my friend. He went home yesterday,

but will be in a wheelchair for about a month and a half.

He's a tough bastard, though; he's already plotting on having his guys put him in the truck so they can drive him to his jobsites and supervise.

He'll be OK; it'll just take some time. Thanks again for asking.

Redstone

[Ptah]

35. Glad to hear his injuries aren't more severe.

Is he the kind of guy that will be designing a sling
and crane system so he can go up and show them how to do the job?
Maybe some restraints in the truck are indicated.

I am gald to hear you are making a change for the good.

:pals:

[Redstone]

38. He doesn't have the sense to use a cherry-picker. Just loves to climb.

He'll be climbing again when he heals, and having done a stupid thing or two in my life, I can't lecture him not to.

Redstone

[lost-in-nj]

37. I didn't read about your brother

I hope all is well
he sounds like my future son in laws father.
2 years ago right before Thanksgiving he fell off a roof. Shattered his foot and was told not to go to work for 6 months of course
he was back before that. Designed a shoe lift for himself, and now after another surgery he is back doing construction.

I hope your brother recovers fast

39. Here's the thread:

And thanks for asking.

Redstone

[lost-in-nj]

45. ...

:D

I am glad to hear he is healing.......
Those guys that get up in the trees and cut are crazy.....
We have had a few trees cut down, I can't watch it.



lost

[graywarrior]

36. When when when????

[Redstone]

40. As soon as your hair grows out.

(Just joking, m'dear.)

As soon as we can sell this house and most of the furniture in it.

Next week would NOT be too soon.

You'll be our first dinner guest, if that's OK with you.

Redstone

[graywarrior]

44. I'll be there!

[The Wielding Truth]

41. What style of house is the one you want to buy?

[Redstone]

42. It's a renovated Carpenter-Gothic Victorian. Here's more info:

http://www.pwpre.com/open-realty/listingview.php?listingID=137

Four houses from Main Street in a little town of about 3,000 in the ehite Mountains of New Hampshire.

Redstone

[The Wielding Truth]

43. EWWW... Very nice... Love the kitchen, does the stove stay?

[Redstone]

48. Yes; it's a 1904 kerosene-burning range. Cool, huh?

Redstone

[The Wielding Truth]

56. Just dreamy...... I hope it works out for ya.

[lost-in-nj]

47. WOW! WOW! WOW!`

It's magnificent!
hey could I keep my horse in your barn
maybe?

Its beautiful

[Redstone]

52. Sure. You gotta do the shoveling, though.

Redstone

[RevCheesehead]

46. Oh, goodie!

You've been missed. :hug:

[Redstone]

50. Rev! How goes the battle?

Are the good guys still ahead of the sons of bitches?

Last time I checked, they were; but the sons-of-bitches were gaining on them.

Redstone

[RevCheesehead]

51. The battle's been interrupted with real-life issues.

I got two new kittens last Monday, and they're tearing the house apart. But on Thursday, I had to have my precious Binky cat put to sleep. Her kidneys failed. So it's been bittersweet for me (and a hell of a year).

I am so glad you got your new home! You must be terribly excited!
I'll put in a good word for ya, on selling the house. O8)

[Redstone]

53. Hey, you have a direct line, so thanks for putting a word in.

Sorry about your cat. That's the tough part about having pets.

Redstone

[RevCheesehead]

54. Speaking of pets...

Is the chicken (rooster?) going with you to NH?

[Redstone]

57. Of course! She's my son's pet, so even though she's retired from laying

eggs, she will continue her retirement / golden years up north with us.

Redstone

[RevCheesehead]

60. Awww...

you are such a good dad!

I hope she has a long and happy life with your son and family. :)

[Redstone]

61. She's seven years old, which is ANCIENT for a chicken.

Don't know what the world record is, but I suspect we're in line to endanger it; she's a healthy old hen.

Redstone

[u4ic]

70. How are you holding up, Rev?

:hug:

[RevCheesehead]

73. I have my moments, but overall, I'm doing pretty good.

There's some comfort in knowing Binky and Roo are together again, with their Grandma. O8)

:hug: Thanks for asking.

[u4ic]

74. Glad to hear

you're doing pretty good. :hug:

I've always wondered - who ministers to the ministers? (I've known a few - Unitarian, but nonetheless - and seen how much giving is involved. I hope you get back from people here on DU and your parishioners. :loveya:

You don't have an Alice Tinker equivalent helping you out, do you? Talk about even more stress! :rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

75. Not Alice, exactly,...

but there's always some variation on the theme. :silly:

:hug::loveya:

[Nicole]

49. Welcome home n/t

[Redstone]

58. And it's damn good to be back. Thank you.

Redstone

[ScreamingMeemie]

55. Welcome Home, Redstone...

I hope your brother is doing better. I've thought about him...and you a lot lately.

[Redstone]

59. Mrs G, let me tell you one thing: Your life is NOT lame or mundane;

it's how life is lived when you have a family. You have NO need to apologize like you did in your thread in the Lounge tonight.

It's how we build families and a country, dealing with the little details.

And not ONE of us here considers you to be lame; trust me on that.

Thanks for thinking about me and about my brother.

Redstone

[ScreamingMeemie]

62. Hey...

If I haven't told you lately...


I adore you. MrsRedstone is a lucky lady. :hug:

[Redstone]

63. Thank you, m'dear. And MrG is a lucky guy. But I'm sure he knows that.

If not, send him to me and I'll explain it to him.

Redstone

[ScreamingMeemie]

66. I will do that if ever need be.

How have you been feeling lately? It's got to have been a rough time for you these past few weeks.

[Redstone]

67. Not bad at all, actually, thank you for asking. A week in Canada,

wolfing down Poutine and living in the random world of Mrs R's cousin's house, and surviving the 10-hour drive home thanks to the people who designed the driver's seat of Mrs R's Volvo (and my own good sense (for a change of pace)) in making sure I took a good stretching break every hour or so.

I'm being careful as well. Worked today, but made sure to not overdo it, which would have been damn stupid after the drive yesterday.

I could try to tell you how much I appreciate your concern, but I'm sure you already know.

And my offer stands. Now and forever.

Redstone

[Haole Girl]

72. Welcome back

And good luck with everything! :hi:
