Forum life expectancy

Yeah, but Rick types fast.

Like anything else in life, most of us sometimes get tied up with work or other obligations which result in very little leisure time. I try to keep most of my time productive, and the forum is both fun and informative. If you don't hear from me for a while now and then, it's because something has come up. Time away (no traveling laptops for me) or a family obligation or a long trial (longest was 8 1/2 weeks and almost every workday was 18 - 20 hours). Just like a friend saying "where've you been?" I believe that everyone here will welcome most of us back if we have to take a sabatical.:)

Well, I am on here alot right now because it is in between seasons for me. Sled dog season is over, and river season has not yet begun. Once river season really gets going- I'll be on here rarely. Then in late August- I may have some time as river season winds down. Then hunting season will start and I'll basically spend 5 weeks in a wilderness area, and then get back and be behind on fall conditioning for the sled dogs- so, my days here as a frequent poster are numbered. However, I will always check in because this place is a great asset

Exactly, and since I hate rats.....::)

I personally added a temporary second job, this has taken up much of my extra time. I check-in when I can, read more than I post but still enjoy the forum. I'm all behind the forum and wish it all the luck.

Thanks WarEagle...I think,LMAO ,oh who am I kidding,I resemble that remark ,I haven't been on nearly as much the past week and a half,because as a few of you know,my house burned on the 14th. So, I am currently staying with my son,and my time is limited here because the daughter in law likes her computer time too,but I get on when I can,just not when I'd like to be on.:(

Really sorry to hear that, Nell!:(:(:(

what ken said thats a shame

I'm sorry to hear about your home Nell. Did you loose everything? How did it happen? Is there anything we can do to help?

WE. Thanks for the insight. This forum stuff is new to me. It's always changing.

Thanks guys,yes I lost everything in the house,the fire itself was contained to the kitchen,(grease fire).The rest of the house is a total loss from the heat and smoke damage,No hun,nothing you guys can do,should hear from the insurance guy this week.

On the up side,if it had happened at night while asleep,there would have been plenty of time to get out of the house,(barring being overcome from smoke)as it took the fire dept almost an hour to arrive,and the air tightness of the home kept the fire contained to the kitchen.

Ouch, sorry to hear that, Good luck with getting things back in order.

Bro! My feelings are hurt, I'm at the office man, if I'm not doing this I have to actually do some **shudder** work! (there I said the word, I didn't like it but it had to be done)

In that case, you may be the only sane one on the forum.

oh no, that is waaaay too much responsibility.

It's approaching summer and TDW is a river rat. She forces me to take her canoing and kayaking down these mountain streams. As my health improves I'll be outside more and in front of a computer less. I hope.

Whatever happened to that "Ken" guy? He put up like a thousand post in a week then disappered.

Well, I think he disappeared.

Yep - looks like he's disappeared.........just like the lobsters.

Actually, I've been on a lot longer than Rick. Although I don't post as much, I do browse the posts 3-4 times a day, usually. I'm a veteran of both the "Heathen Chinee Sambot" war as well as the TBWN war. Some Wolves do return to the pack from time to time, like DEET. Although I DO miss Foggy, Survival Hike, & Smok, just to name a few. However, Brad, Adrian, & TheFreakinBear can stay away forever for all of me.:rolleyes:

Sarge - you just missed Smok - I think he was on the other day.
