Hi all, hope everyone is doing well. It's probably gone un noticed, but I've been gone for about a week from the net. so much has happened. Without giving my life story and boring people with personal facts, I'll get into it a little.

I'm selling my house. Sat I spent the entire day with my wife and painted like there was no tomorrow. rollers and paint, all by hand. Corey came and helped, as well a friend. It was grueling work. I'll show b4 and after pics of what $100 in paint can do for a place. I do have an offer on it now, and looks like we're going into escrow this week. On top of that, my job is gonna change by the end of the week, and my wifes within 6 months.

Sunday, my grandfather passed at 94 years old. He was a really, really great guy. I don't want or need to get into those details, however, for the time being, my grandmother, who is now 95 is staying with me in my extra room. Because of this, i've lost my computer room, and I can't type at work on the net anylonger. sometime today, I hope to move my computer to the bedroom.

anyhow guys, i've got a billion pm's, and a bunch of sales standing that have been paid for and not shipped. Stick with me, I haven't disappeared. I've got the next three days off for bereavement, and most of today is being spent packaging things.

I'll be back infull force soon, and respond to all pms. In the short term, some of you will get tracking #'s today for items sent out. I just wanted to type this out, because I don't have the time to respond to everyone personally at the moment, Jeremy

I had my grandfather pass 2 years ago at 93. He was a tough old bird and quite a character. At his wake there were like 800 or more people lined up down the street...this was in Plymouth, Mass. He touched everything in that town....everything from Plymouth Rock to the Mayflower.

I think of him often. Even at 90+ its tough to let those old guys go. My condolences.

The house looks spiffy. Good paint job.

Wow, I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. House looks good and yes, we did notice you were gone. I figured you were just really busy but I didn't imagine all that. Good luck with the home sale and move and once again I extend my condolences to your family for the loss of your grandfather.

Hey Jeremy (and Corey),

Sorry to here about your loss and my sincere condolences go out to you and your family.

The house looks great! Best of luck with everything and hang in there!!

Also, don't worry about not being able to respond to everyone "immdiately", people have to understand that family, friends and job priorities take precedence over anything else, especially during a bereavement period.

same city, better neighborhood

def NOT looking forward to the funeral tomorrow. I always thought, towards his later years (when I grew up and got to know him better for who he was) that gramps and I could have so much in common, and I would have loved to take the guy out and buy him a beer. If only 65 years didn't seperate us. I treasure the many years I spent with him. He truly is one of the last of a dying generation.

Condolences to you and yours, Jeremy. Despite the circumstances, enjoy having your "GRAM" around. I'm trying to get mine to move in with me..... stubborn old bird won't budge :D . But we're workin' on her. She's 80 and just as spry as when I was a kid. Good luck with the house. Chuck

fyi, house is officially sold, and in escrow. I've now got 45 days to pack up and find a new house and move in.

my new job/ (moving within same company, better pos) start tomorrow, and I'll be doing 4 tens instead of 5 days a week, and this is very exciting, because I'll get an entire day devoted to myself and my projects.
