We had a few thunder rumbles, but the rain passed us by. ![]() We are supposed to get bad storms again tonight. We'll see.

Hey all! I haven't been around in ages and thought I'd pop by and say "hi". Life has been extra busy both at home and at work for the past year or so and I can hardly find time to breath. So I haven't had time to come here. 24, I love the new board look! (I'm looking at "New Experience (Dark)") I did see the other one you had just before this too and really liked it as well. Each time you do a new one, it seems to get better than the last! I must say I'm impressed! ![]() I see some new people since I was here last and it looks like the board is growing some. ![]() I have no idea when I was here last exactly. Did I mention that we got a new dog last October? She's a pointer/lab mix that we adopted from a rescue organization. She has a very sweet disposition and is great with our daughter. And boy can she run! Pointers are related to greyhounds so she has a lot of speed! She runs circles around our backyard (which isn't very big) at an amazing speed and never slips or hits anything. It's really something to watch! I have also started running again. If I hadn't mentioned it in the past, I used to run long distance track and cross country in high school and at the beginning of college. Since then, I have hardly run at all. I did make an attempt to return to running in 1994, but developed a foot injury and had to stop since I had no medical insurance then. I hadn't run again until now. So my company decided to join the Orlando Corporate 5k race this year which is what got me motivated again. It was 3.1 miles and I had 11 weeks to train. I finished in 25 minutes and 10 seconds which was not at all near what I used to run, but I was still happy with it considering the short training time and the fact that I'm a lot older now. So now that the race is over, I'm taking the dog running with me to give her exercise and give me a reason not to quit again! ![]() My daughter joined gymnastics this year instead of dancing and she loves it. She is on the tumbling team at the gym where she gets instruction and she participates in 3 events in competitions - the rod floor (a long track where they do tumbling passes - back handsprings, etc.), trampoline, and double mini. She qualified for the state meet already this year and took 2nd place in the rod floor and trampoline and 5th place on the double mini. These were each in a level category within her age group, but there were about 10 kids in each event in the same category as her. Not bad for the first year! ![]() Otherwise, I finally finished watching the whole Stargate SG-1 series and have moved on to Stargate Atlantis. I'm almost at the end of the second season. It's ok, but I don't like it as well as SG-1 so far. How are you all doing? |

Doing well here Impulse. 24 has foolishly added me to the staff, but so far I have managed to not burn the place down. ![]() Do drop by as time permits. It's always good to hear from you. |

Hey IE, good to see you! Thanks for your compliments on the site/theme! Congrats on your race time! I started a Vegan-ish (about 90%) diet about 2/12 months ago...excuse me "life style". The literature tells us not to call it a diet. I've lost some weight and hopefully I will continue to get more healthy as the months go by.Glad to see the new dog is keeping you on your toes! Also nice that your daughter is enjoying herself in gymnastics. It sounded like you guys were having a few too many problems with dance programs and such in the past. Anyway, as Swidden mentioned he is now a Super Duper Cool Admin here. He's doing alright. ![]() Hope you drop in again soon! |

The storms have mostly been passing us by for other parts of the area. We are getting lucky.
Glad you are enjoying yourself!

I can't keep wondering how you succeed on such a sci-fi feel on this theme. It really is unique. I'm starting a project for a Star Trek theme - I could show it to you when it's finished.

We had several chances of receiving some rain this past week. We only managed to get a shower or two a couple of times. But, since hail and tornadoes were included in the heavy rain, I'm glad those storms missed us. It would be nice to receive some nice, slow rain for three or four days. We haven't received any significant rain in about five and a half months. It's getting really dry around here (Texas). |

Thanks about my race time. I'm considering maybe entering some others down the road. Right now I only see one that I'm interested in and I might have scheduling conflict that day, but I'm sure there will be more available as time goes on. Congrats on the weight loss and your new "life style"! That takes motivation and just getting started is half the battle. So good job and keep it up!

He's doing good. He hits 4 soon. He's been discovering superheroes in a big way. Watched The Incredibles, all the Spider-Man movies, Batman Begins, Superman: The Movie, and is now on to Iron Man. Mrs. Swidden can't believe he's not scared of these films! |

Wow, he's almost 4 already??? Geez, it's seems like he was just born last year! That is pretty amazing that he's ok with all those superhero movies at his young age. My daughter watched all the Pirates of the Caribbean movies when she was about 7 (she's 9 now) and I was surprised she didn't find them scary even at that age. But she loved them so much, she watched them again and again. Now she's eagerly anticipating the 4th one that's supposed to come out next month. |

Thanks. I seem to be hovering at the moment on the weight loss, but hopefully I will get past that little blip and continue to lose weight. |

This is a general random chat thread. ![]() This is version 2.0. The first ZGC thread accidentally bit the dust. It was started the first day this forum opened and had reached almost 5,000 replies. More on the issue. |
