| I used to mod this chat room on Lionel trains (go figure) on a website that is now gone, liveharmony.org, and it was a constant battle with trolls. I was looking into trying to get a php chatroom going on my website, but instead I turned to playing MMPORGs. Looked too much like real work. :) There w... |

Given what you said about coffee, it might be you have a caffeine addiction; I did.
And of course cold weather rolls in, and I am back to coffee. But at least I now don't drink it when I come home. It is/was staining my teeth too. |

| The wedding day was determined by my wife's family, a traditional wedding in all aspects, at a Catholic church. At first I didn't like that concept of them calling all the shots, but then I had a talk with my older brother. Basically he said, hey, its only one day in many many more in your life and ... |

Might have to enter a validate 'date' too, even if it is Jan 1, 200X.
