| | | Hi, How are you?
Haven't been in SYM in a while. First Morrowind was to blame. I've also spent a lot of time reading, especially a really great fantasy novel called Perdido Street Station by China Mieville.
Then my grandfather became really ill, and I flew back to see him for a week. He died right after I came back home. He was 90 years old.
Anyway, just wondering how everyone has been? I know there's no way I could catch up on 3 or 4 weeks of SYM! Anything major happen?

| | He hee hee I've got a new girlfriend.... Yeah shut up. It's after 14 days that I officially have to stop bringing her up in every post I make  .
I'm very sorry about your grandfather, but 90 is a good age to have lived to. He did well, and I hope it isn't too hard on you.  
Anyway, I for one have missed immensely your incredibly long posts and dodgy jokes...good to see you again...

| | heya. welcome back.
i'm not sure if you would have seen the DF's hostile takeover of the board, where 5 out of the 6 top threads were theirs 
other than that low point, not a lot happened of note

| | Hey VD. First, my condolences about your grandfather.
Now, to answer your question, I'm on top of the world right now! I just went to a Prom with the girl I've cared about for the longest time, and it's looking up from there. |

| | Hello VooDoo, I've been wondering where you were. I'm sorry to hear about your grandfather Like Frogus posts, 90 is a very good age to live too, but the personal loss is always difficult even if we know this, isn't it.
I haven't been here a lot myself for the last 3-4 weeks, and I've mostly been posting about the World Cup in Football. As for me personally, I've worked a lot as usual, I've been to a very interesting multidisciplinary conference about behavioural genetics, and I've been watching football
Welcome back!

| | @Voodoo, glad to see you with us. A shame about your grandfather, but I hope he lived a full life, and that you had a good opportunity to bid him farewell.
I also know what you mean by Morrowind--didn't I recommend it to you, in the first place? I suppose I should be ashamed, but I'm not. It's taking up my time, as well.
By the way, there's a Dali Museum my wife and I visited in St Petersburg, Florida, which is well worth seeing if you're ever down there. If not, you *can* purchase the t-shirt, at http://www.salvadordalimuseum.org/cg...ex.html?E+dali

| | Heya Voo, *hug* things have been much the same as always, following Eerhardt's, Beldin's and my threadjacking of the 2nd DF discussion thread, which lead to the current set-up of a DF tavern and seperate discussion thread. Stilgar and Archeron have joined the Rolling Thunder as the respective masseur/DJ and bartender, so if you want a massage come and talk to Stil.
Sorry to hear about your grandfather, my own grandfather passed away following a stroke 3 weeks before his 90th birthday a few years back.
Beldin became Viv's slave for about three days before she went looking for another one, Viv also decided that my perma-hug to Georgi apparently makes me Georgi's slave, a state of affairs which has had surprisingly little impact upon my activities here at SYM, all things considered. It's not so bad.

| | Sorry to hear the bad news, but as everyone says, 90 is a full life.
As to the board.....nothing but spam fill waste bogging down the true goal of COMM. Maybe you can shed some light on the board and force this darkness away!

| | Welcome back Voodoo,
Condolences on your grandfather passing away.
As for SYM, well a certain group has returned and have already begun COMMing away. A few people have come and gone as a result of a few bad comments. Apart from that, SYM is just the same as before...

Like Ode said, you're welcome for a massage, a chat or a drink in our Mobile Party Thread (TM), just check the Rolling Thunder link in our sigs and feel free to drop by.
I'm sorry to hear about your grandfather's death, even if 90 is quite a lifespan. How're you coping?

| | Sorry to hear about your grandfather. I hope you are doing okay.
The board is pretty much the same. Things go in cycles. Weasel is having one of his "rodent moments". I've only seen one piece of real COMM outta him. The rest has been meat product.... 
And as you can tell from the first page, the DFs have hardly 'taken over the board'.
Check out Bloodstalker's Journey thread.... LOL!

As for what has been going on, best to ask someone else; i got morrowind over the weekend. I have been playing it a lot since then, i am enjoying it, although i think my W key will give up from all the running
