I'm baaack!!

piersk

Well, I've been away for a while (as some people may have noticed, and probably not cared) due to ill health. I come back and find everything's changed!!

I'm assuming this is vB 3?

JPnyc

Si. VB3. Fresh this morning!

piersk

Oooh, so it's not something that's been around for a while then... thats good

Welcome back.

A fresh Piersk and a fresh board.

My eyes are happy right now.

JPnyc

Elizabeth

goldbug

Welcome back!

planetsim

But it was so nice and peaceful without you 😃, na good to see you back so what illness did you have or was it something to get out of work?

Weedpacket

I'm just glad to see he is still moving fast enough to type.

WB, Piers! I wondered why the EL's been so relatively dull ... now we know 😉

TheDefender

WB piersk! Since you have come back, then I believe it may be safe enough to say that you are recovering nicely, or recovered. Either way, best wishes for better health. You knew those late night cigarette and beer binges would eventually catch up. ;-) Glad to see you back, now that I will be off for a while tending to the needs of my newborn and wifey in pain. (C-Section, ouch)

piersk

Yeah, all is good now.

@ & goldbug: this is why you haven't been able to contact me over the past couple of months.

Congraulations! Boy or girl? And, don'tcha know, the reason its cute is your wifey :p

[Actually, my theory is that God makes 'em really cute so you don't pinch their little heads off when they keep you awake all night whilst screaming ...]

Elizabeth

Piers, so that rehab thing worked out pretty well for you then? Or did your parole officer finally say you can get back on the computer? 🙂

dalecosp

ROFL ... you're sooo nice! 😃

Gee, is it shark week again already? 😃

Boy. 8 lbs 13 oz. 22in. My wifey is only 5'2" and was sooooo not thinking about squeezing him out even though that's what we planned. The C-Section was not planned, but everyone's fine, and in good health (even if it comes with a little pain). And, he's our 4th child, so yeah, we already know why God makes 'em so darned cute. 😉

Elizabeth

@ - well he hasn't been around for me to harass in so long, I have sooo much catching up to do 🙂

@ - congrats! (That is one big baby! Very cute though!) 🙂

Welcome back! (not that I've been around much either).
