A big Happy Labor Day weekend to all our friends! No matter what field you're in, your work contribution is what makes the world go round. And I would also like to add a special thank you to our men and women who work in our critical services (military, fire, rescue, law enforcement). On the eve of 9-11, your job is more important than ever. As a fellow veteran, I salute you for the vital role that you play. As a society, we do not do nearly enough to give you the praise that you deserve. It is because of your dedication and commitment to the safety and welfare of our country that we can sleep well at night.

Thanks to everyone here and enjoy your extended weekend!

Hi Everyone,

Well, my vacation was a bust..... had to evacuate the Outer Banks three days early due to Hurricane Irene, trees down on my house, and no power for several days. I had to entertain the kids without internet, TV, or anything else that required electricity. To make matters worse, the cell tower near my home was crippled, so my my Droid only got 1 bar that was iffy at best.I am covered in bug bites from spending the hotr days outrside cutting trees with power saws and hauling them to the street with my Fisher-Price utility garden wagon.

Happy days are here now! Power is back and I am sitting in front of my computer posting away! The kids are back on Club Penguin and loving it.......

It's great to be back.

Hey Everyone!

Firstly, happy 4th of July weekend! I hope all of you are firing up the grill and cooling the drinks for the weekend festivities! I live on the east coast and there are all sorts of local celebratory activities going on here in the colonial historic areas. Except for the sweltering heat, everything is awesome.

I wanted to just post for a second about working on this site. I have had some past experiences installing and working with websites running Joomla. Dave and I decided together to do this site as a joint project since we both have a passion for Joomla websites, techie stuff, and the like. After a few months into it, I have realised that we have created a great site with outstanding design, graphics, user interface, and up to date news, jokes, and random things. One thing that I did not realise when we started this is that I am working with a true professional. Dave is extremely knowledgeable, exacting, and thoughtful about how we present and display what we do on this site. I could not be more pleased.
