No problem at all. No criticism. Just information, as you get familiar with the forum threads.

[Giles]

We have more Pronto Collabs in the works….

[Chris]

Unlike some things- like beer, for instance- Robitussin does not get any better the more frequently you drink it.

[seawolf]

Feeling ok Chris? Did you get the flu?

[Chris]

Yes.  The walking plague vectors that are my children managed to infect Julie and me for Christmas.  We've all mostly recovered, but I still have some chest congestion.  I hate Robitussin, but it's still the only otc stuff that seems to work for me.

[seawolf]

That sucks man. Sorry to hear. We both got the flu, and Caitlin's turned into bronchitis. She has some prescription cough syrup that has Vicodin in it. I can't take it but she seems to have good results from it.

Steven brought home whooping cough one time. We were like "didn't we wipe that out with polio?!?"

2 weeks of great times with me mates and the family are over…back to switzerland and back to work in the morning! had a blast...good night everybody, cheers!

[Snowy]

Glad you arrived back safely, still keen to hear where the 1hr sleep came from you nutter!

[Finn666]

^well it was mum's birthday yesterday and i wasn't tired. talked and emptied a bottle of wine and after that it was 2.30am…had to be at my mates house at 4.15am, so one hour of sleep was the only thing left to do. wanted to sleep on the 3h car drive but couldn't. wanted to sleep on the 1h train drive but had to catch a different train where i had to change trains like 2times so sleeping was also canceled...now i'm at work! coffee is what i need the most today

[Snowy]

That's boring, but very good of you Finn. I was hoping for random-night-out Finn :). Such a good son :).

[Finn666]

i know i know…no more hard partying for me though. did that during the holidays and the only thing i've lost is some money!

It is a little nippy out today.

I'm reminded of this quote today, as I am confronted with my inappropriate clothing…
@Giles:

"There is no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothing".  Sir Ranulph Fiennes

(Houston is currently experiencing sub-freezing temperatures, an occasion nearly as rare as a sober evening for Megatron.  I should note, however, that it is infinitely more pleasant weather than in Minnesota.)

[grandmasterben]

I can't believe "feels like -46" is a thing… I can still wear just a t shirt here

[mclaincausey]

I can't believe how unimpressed I am with it. It doesn't even seem uncomfortably cold. To Chris' point, I say that with a heavy tee, an IH Henley, a western jersey, a down vest, an alpaca jacket,  a fleece lined beaver pelted hat, long johns, and 22 oz duck.

[mclaincausey]

Originally I had a down expedition coat and a balaclava but that was too warm. Color me surprised.

[mclaincausey]

I really love this shirt. Tie Dye Paul made it, it's one of two I bought from him. I don't think he does shirts anymore. He has done some really cool backdrops for places like Cervantes in Denver.
