I doubt Howard is lurking. I felt he was always complaining about Ireland
when he was posting here, perhaps some of it justified. There's no way a
sane man could have kept it up. :-) I think (and hope) he has moved onto
better things. That said, I'd love to find an e-mail address for Howard.
His oceanfree e-mail address doesn't work and his mad-as-hell website and
associated e-mail address is down.
I met him back in 2003 I think. I think, in March or April 2003, I revealed
his Donegal address on this newsgroup. (&) I'm sorry about this. I recall
he left for London later that year with his family. Before the end of that
year, Howard sent me a phone text message (I wasn't posting to SCI either
since that summer) to inquire if I was okay. That's the measure of what a
nice guy he was. He wanted to let me know he was okay, at that stage, and
was settled in London with his family. I was happy to hear from him and
replied to let him know I was fine.
I'm awfully sorry now about revealing Howard's address in Co. Donegal. I
don't know why I did it. Indeed, I wanted to e-mail him 2 months or so ago
to write sorry about this and also to express my wish that he return to SCI
(to continue bitching and moaning about the country. LOL). As written
though, the e-mail addresses I discretely found weren't working.
Anyway, I hope Howard is alive and well. I hope no visiting terrorist paid
him a call and executed him.

(&) I have no idea why I did that! It was probably more to do with idiocy

Things are.........good! No complaints. Dogs are good, we lost our
old-lady labrador, last summer, but my darling, wolfhound Donny is still
going strong at 7. Still cycling (indoors till it warms up). Dinking
around on the farm. I'll be a hundred years old before I get to move up
there. We're playing lots of music. The Kid's still in a band, actually
producing a concert next month (three bluegrass bands and it's a benefit for
the local arts council) and doing the scholarship-application-thing..... he
graduates this Spring. So we're busy.
Oh, and if that wasn't enough we have a Chinese exchange student living w/us
all year.....he goes home in June.
So, yeah......Cat(h) was right. Real Life. :)

NOthing especially sad about the concept of real life - except when it
is, of course. And you're no bad girl for abandoning us, and ignoring
us, and not even thinking about us. No. We'll just sit here in the
dark.
You did not miss much, though if you have interesting winter pics, OWM
has started a competition/gathering exercise (see other thread).
We're having a real proper winter here, and Ger has taken some cool
snowy pics in Donegal over the holidays. I have a few from my garden
this morning (snowed in) which I shall put up later.
Welcome back! Good to see you!

Now, now....I didn't say I never thought about you. It happens that I was
*just* thinking about SCI last Monday. I was in mid Xmas-tree-demo when I
realized something tooooootally startling. I hadn't ended every shopping
trip at the liquor store. The GD paper Santa was rip-free. No stress about
Jan. credit card bills. Christmas didn't suck.
It was relaxed and pleasant and sane and.......it's never been my *thing*
so....... that kinda bothered me. :) For some reason.....SCI instantly
came to mind and I wondered how bad *it* might suck now. Wrapped in masses
of twinkley lights, pine needles in my hair, thinking about SCI....isn't the
mind a mystery?
> You did not miss much, though if you have interesting winter pics, OWM

We're having a real proper winter here, and Ger has taken some cool

You mean, all the women and bren & Ray...right? I hope they haven't changed
THAT much.
Besides, I need info! Manly info. I need to know why guys get to a certain

Don't underestimate the contribution self righteous women egging on their
menfolk have made to various conflicts.
Mankind's religions reflect mankind's views - after all, both derive from
the same source.

There's a study w/chimps that seems to indicate that male chimps
occasionally enjoy forming gangs & killing chimps from other groups.
Wouldn't surprise me if war has a deeper place in in our genetic makeup, and
religion gives us that well defined "us & them"......that acts as a trigger.
And, if a little *genetics-vs-religion* reference won't start a word-war
here.....I don't know SCI. :)

No, short is right for men aged over 4. Unless you are a native
merkin (you know, the ones with allegedly red skin), you will never,
ever, ever look good with long hair as a man.

Are we talking about the youngster who was about 9 years old when I
met him in an Italian Dublin restaurant?? The talented young

And I too approve of his choice. We need talented folks learning how
