@ Cindy - So lovely to hear from you, Cindy. It's been a while since we've caught up. Oh my goodness, so much great news from you! I'm thrilled for you and your family - wow!!! Congratulations on the exciting expansion within your family!! Well done with the new job too! I could use some luck in that department myself, but that is fab!! Good luck with your writing and all the new changes and additions going on in your life  


@ Zack - hiya, no, I've been back awhile now, but haven't had a settled routine to re-join the forum properly. Just wanted to check in and see how everyone is doing. I live in London permanently and love it here. Thanks for the warm welcome  


@ nixon - So nice to hear from you too hon! I can't cook to save my life either - Mac 'n Cheese all the way. OMG - I kept meaning to try Hamburger Helper when in north America and totally forgot - looked SO YUMMY!!!


@ Stew - I miss you guys! Dinner and a movie just isn't the same without you both. Hope you are doing great and that you pop back over here soon!! We need to catch-up!


@ Phil/troublemaker - Awe - so sweet. You'll be happy to know that the UK's beer supplies have at long last been fully replenished since your last trip. You are now allowed re-entry

Allowed re-entry?  I should be welcomed with a parade for the boost I gave the economy!

If Janet and I make it your way this fall, I'll bring you a box or two.  You just warn the pubs.

Awesome idea!  The SS Group is one of my favourite groups too!  Let's all catch up here -- everyone should feel welcome

MIKE:  Congrats on the kid and congrats on the children of your imagination!

XTOPHER:  Film festivals rock.  I hope you're enjoying the Melbourne fest!

Quoted from pia I've written more shorts than anyone would ever want to read.

PIA:  Keep plugging at it, and I'm sure you'll find some devoted fans!  

Quoted from Breanne Mattson I’m marrying my boss. It’s the only way I could get that raise -- haha.

BREANNE:  lol, probably.  It's shameful the wage gap between the average female worker and the average male worker.  We need better times with more equality.

Quoted from pia Cooking? My husband and I laugh everytime they start whining about Ramen noodles and pasta (another word for spagetti).

PIA:  Mmm ... spaghetti's my favourite food!

Now onto my news.  Last winter, I acted in a film that's currently travelling the festival circuit.  I was so excited that I sent PMs to about twenty random people from SS, with way more information than this post.  Most were delighted to hear the news, but a technical issue prevented the note from getting to you, Andy.  

Peace.

Good to hear from you, Andy.

First, I would like to pass on my congrats to Mike and Breanne.

I had some really bad headaches last week.  Today, I finally picked up a new pair of glasses and an awesome pair of prescription sun glasses.  As you know, my birthday is next month.  I already have vacation time blocked off for the first week of September and I just know my wife has something planned, but I can't get her to give me any hints.  She's much more clever than I am.

My job is super awesome.  So awesome in fact that I don't regret passing on graduate school to stay at my job.  I am so glad I didn't make a mistake choosing my work over more school.

The Simpsons Movie kicked ass and that pleased me.  I've been enjoying the archive on Ebert and Roeper's site.  I may have a few more poems posted soon.  Life is soooo goooood.

Hey Rob, great to hear from you!!! Not long till your birthday indeed, my fellow Virgoan. Hope you have fun with your wife, I'm sure the surprise will be worth all the secrecy. Cool about your job, am happy for you   You've worked hard to get to where you are now, so well done!!!

Thanks for the update!

Just to conclude a thinking:

Andy is a type of woman that nobody forget, dudies! So she continues besides us all time smiling and drinking morritos, beers, Rums, vodckas, Gins...

About Mike and Breanne...Could you imagine on contrary: Mike marring again and Breanne having a baby?

I love you, Helio! You are always a breath of fresh air and you make me smile.

How are you? How is your family? You are always welcome in London to visit a fellow Goonie.

Love A xxx

Hey Kid! I just shining when you chat with me! Haha!

Look, there is a bar/rest in Canden Town named Made in Brazil it is very nice. Go there. I don't know the prices, but who knows they fit your pocket, huh?

Oh there was one in Covent Garden I used to frequent, but I don't know wether it is yet there.

Love H xxxxxxx

Mike,

That avatar is too much  .

It scared me. LOL

Quoted from CindyLKeller Mike, That avatar is too much  . It scared me. LOL

I figured I'd go back to the funny ones for awhile.

That counts as catching up, right?

Quoted from Shelton I figured I'd go back to the funny ones for awhile. That counts as catching up, right?

Okay. LOL
I looked at it again and it still cracked me up.
