Hi all ... sorry I have not gotten over here to chat and all. This last few weeks I've been pretty preoccupied with my son. He will be leaving in just 8 days .... March 10 for bootcamp (Marines). I'm just spending as much time with him as I can ....
My sites has been pretty busy lately (finally), that and I've also been doing taxes ... mine, my two boys and my mom's....
But I plan to be here more often ...
I just wanted to stop by and say hi to everyone and wish you all a wonderful week!
.jeanne.

Hi Jeanne, Glad to see you, thanks for coming by. So your son is off to the Marines, huh? I hope all goes well for him. The Marines aren't really a bad sort, but I will still razz them with out much mercy. It's like an extra-ciricular activity for military members to do. LOL The Bulletin Board is toying with the idea of branching out into more of a posting board than we have been, but we are still mostly here to promote the other boards. Someone told me that it wouldn't hurt to have more activity here to draw people. That makes sense, but we don't want to detract from the real purpose. Hopefully you came back at a good time.

Thanks Ashmadai and holysmokes........
... yep! .. the Marines for my son ... my dad was 30 years Navy ...
... my son leaves at the end of this week and then will be going to Pensacola, Fla since his MOS is Aviation Mechanics, which required a 5 year enlistment...
I going to miss him like crazy, but I am very proud.....
.... I like what you are doing with the Forum ... it's a great place to advertise a site, but a little chat among admins is fun too ...
..take care..

I'm sure you'll miss him, Jeanne, it'll leave a hole in your life by not having him around. Think of it this way, you now have a good excuse to pop down to Florida. lol Aviation Mechanics is a good field to get into as well, I forget what Aircraft Mechanics get paid on the outside now... but it's not a bad wage. The Military still gets paid poorly, but he'll learn a trade that translates to a decent job in the civilian world. That's always good to have because at some point he will get out of the service or retire. There is already a fine board for Admin Chat, Jeanne, as you know --- however I am thinking of making this more of a place where Admins and regular Members can intermingle. Almost every admin knows what it's like to be a member, however not every member knows what it's like to be an admin. That could provide some interesting conversations.
