That's lovely Nov :) Congrats, he's very cute! What's his name?
Posted by che, around April 2008:
 
Awww :)
Posted by che, around April 2008:
 
"What's his name?"

I'm guessing Jacob

(or Levis)
Posted by Gary, around April 2008:
 
Hey, Nov. Welcome back - and congratulations! :)
Posted by Meatwood Flack, around 6th April 2008:
 
Hello again Nov!

Among other things.
Posted by syl, around 6th April 2008:
 
Don't listen to him, Nov. It's the DOC!

Hello everybody :) What are you all up to?
Posted by mischief.bound, around 6th April 2008:
 
Syl .... his name is Jacob Conrad Holman. It is a family name on my husband's side. They are farmers, the harvest cotton and peanuts. The farm has been in the family for over 200 years. A lot of history with this family, it is very neat to learn about it all.

Thank you all for the welcome backs. I was cleaning up my attic this weekend and I came across post cards and letters from some of you. I still have the mix CD that Cal made me.

This weekend was a busy one, lots of cleaning and I had a baby shower to attend to, my sister-n-law is due in two weeks.

Talk to you all later.
Posted by syl, around 6th April 2008:
 
Aw, well he's a cute little thing. He looks like a real little tyke. :)

I am not married and have no kids. I think I am too weird to have kids anyway ;)
Posted by mischief.bound, around 6th April 2008:
 
I am sure that you will find a wonderful wife someday and then perhaps you may have a little one of your own.

I always said in the past that I would never ever get married and that I would never have any children.

Then I meet my husband and all those things changed and I couldn't be happier.
Posted by che, around 6th April 2008:
 
:D Yeah Syl, I'm sure you'll find a wife one day.
Posted by mischief.bound, around 6th April 2008:
 
eeek.....is Syl a girl? It is very hard to tell just by user name. If so, I am so sorry.
Posted by TrainGuy, around 6th April 2008:
 
I have just been checking out iamcaltrain.com. We need a chat room or forum for caltrain riders because CalTrain is not very forthcoming with information about delays. There is groups.imeem.com/VRpM3CcA/f... but nobody uses it and it's lame because you need an account.
Posted by che, around 6th April 2008:
 
Hehe, it's ok Nov. Yes, Syl is a lady. I'm sure she won't take offence :)
Posted by Meatwood Flack, around 6th April 2008:
 
What's a cal train?
Posted by Meatwood Flack, around 6th April 2008:
 
*wishes I was in an appropriate situation to knock one together on photoshop*
Posted by syl, around 7th April 2008:
 
HAHAHA! No it's ok, Nov. :)
Posted by Saltation, around 7th April 2008:
 
what's a cal train?

walruses to dance
Posted by WarHead, around 7th April 2008:
 
It's the railway in California, innit.

Hello i'm back, for the third time, I bring you more bad spellings and grammer.

I heard people kept talking about me so I thought I might make an entrance
Posted by beargod_DUPE1, around 17th April 2008:
 
why am I dupe1?
Posted by che, around 17th April 2008:
 
because Cal doesn't love you any more
Posted by syl, around 17th April 2008:
 
Cal will fix it, beargod. We were all DUPED when iamcal came back.
Posted by beargod_DUPE1, around 17th April 2008:
 
damn duping
Posted by su, around 17th April 2008:
 
i wasn't
Posted by syl, around 17th April 2008:
 
I think that might be because you weren't on the very old iamcal? (< 2004)
Posted by beargod_DUPE1, around 17th April 2008:
 
Was it that long ago, man it makes me cry
Posted by syl, around 17th April 2008:
 
I've been here 4 years now.
Posted by Miki, around 17th April 2008:
 
Hi beargod
I forgot to ask, did you have a good time in amsterdam?
Posted by beargod_DUPE1, around 17th April 2008:
 
Absolutely brilliant time thank you,kerry's angry that I won't take my clogs off
Posted by Saltation, around 18th April 2008:

Posted by Meatwood Flack, around 18th April 2008:
 
Welcome Back Beargod!
Posted by beargod_DUPE1, around 18th April 2008:
 
No sal they are in the flower bed, she reckons they don't belong their, I however beg to differ
Posted by Meatwood Flack, around 18th April 2008:
 
let me get this straight: you're walking around in the flower bed with your clogs on?
Posted by arsepuppy, around 18th April 2008:
 
BEERGOAD!

YES!

Welcome back matey!
Posted by beargod_DUPE1, around 18th April 2008:
 
Yep the flowerbed looks very flat now

Thanks bumdog
Posted by Meatwood Flack, around 18th April 2008:
 
Wow, first Nov, then Bergoad, now Le Chien Derriere! Vic? Rosie? Anyone else lurking in the woodwork?
Posted by mischief.bound, around 19th April 2008:
 
I never thought I would be back, but cleaning up the attic brought back memories so, I thought I would see if you guys were still around.
Posted by Miki, around 19th April 2008:
 
have you painted the clogs yet?
Posted by syl, around 19th April 2008:
 
VIC! ROSIE!
Posted by che, around 20th April 2008:
 
"but cleaning up the attic brought back memories"

Did you find an old dusty picture of Cal and the gang? :)
Posted by Saltation, around 21st April 2008:
 
the flower bed is stunningly free of coffee mug marks
Posted by beargod_DUPE1, around 21st April 2008:
 
I like my flower bed, but I am never planting my bonsai trees out there.

I have not painted my clogs yet no I am afraid miki, I have stones stuck in them now
Posted by Miki, around 21st April 2008:
 
ouch
Posted by mischief.bound, around April 2008:
 
Che: I found postcards from various people, letters and pictures from Rosie, A CD that Cal made and also some pictures that Sul and Cal did on the computer.
Posted by che, around April 2008:
 
cool!

I wonder what Rosie is up to these days
Posted by beargod_DUPE1, around April 2008:
 
I never got that CD to work, I don't think it was done as proffesionally as Cal usually does things :)
Posted by che, around April 2008:
 
I remember being impressed that a CD that was sent through the post in nothing but a paper wrapper was still playable when it arrived.
Posted by eatmypiano, around April 2008:
 
I remember that CD. I think I've still got one somewhere.
Posted by Miki, around April 2008:
 
my favourites are on a mp3 cd in the car
Posted by che, around April 2008:
 
My memory is terrible.
I can't remember what was on that CD.
I remember Vic's ultimate 80s CD.
Unless that was the same CD.

My memory is terrible.
Posted by Miki, around April 2008:
 
it's not the same cd
it had the ballad of Grim...
and some other stuff

Cal actually made us guess the names so I'm sure Doc can find that old thread

Posted by Miki, around 26th April 2008:

Posted by beargod_DUPE1, around 26th April 2008:
 
Vics 80's cd was brilliant although kerry knicked it and I have not seen it for years
Posted by beargod_DUPE1, around 26th April 2008:
 
Where Is Cal? I want in
Posted by AxeMan, around 26th April 2008:

oliver: great recommendation! have you tried the great new site, gigjunkie? i hear they are totally spammy, as the kids today say.

>1 Year ago I took the big junp

1. never start a sentence with an exclamation mark

2. what IS junp, anyway? sounds like an ingredient for making gin.
