Oh yeah, I did get some love after all. And a cake as well, it seems. You know, I was all set to rant about how crappy it is to travel around with my family, but now that I'm home, I'm just grateful to be back. "Hell" at that time was Tuscaloosa, Alabama, where we were stuck with a flat tire. Now that I'm safely ensconced in my air-conditioned room (and not in a rustic cabin with no shower and no hot water in the Smoky Mountains) I can say I had a pretty good time and I'm glad I went. Nero is in Alabama too atm, but he's returning today and will be back with us this sunday

(and not in a rustic cabin with no shower and no hot water in the Smoky Mountains) Wow, that sounds like fun! Being able to live in a cabin for a few days, and just get away from it all, sounds REALLY refreshing to me. (Not at all what I envision Hell to be like) @ Gal: Great! It'll be good to have him back (he is, after all, the King of Awesomeland ;D ).

Welcome back, Flix! Yeah, I think we can be pretty prime to complain at times. THD, how close to hell such a cabin is depends on the number of stingy critters there that are after you. ;D

Useless against mosquitoes, unless they're giant mutant ones. And even then, those things are unfairly tough...

Burn yourself so that they can't sting through your crispy baked skin anymore? Or am I missing something

(although that's a really dangerous alternative ) You put it in a spray gun (or an empty can of deodorant) and spray it like raid. It works, but of course, don't spray it on a naked flame (especially not if you're a crazy pyromaniac like I was when I was still a little kid ;D ). Just be careful when and where you test it!

Actually there weren't any mosquitoes or bugs that bite, just little swarms of gnats that buzz around your head and annoy you. And, bears and stuff too.
The weather was much, much cooler than it is here in Florida - which is why we were even able to go hiking and fishing - here you would just collapse from heat exhaustion before your bait hit the water.
I don't mind being outdoors, isolated from technology in the mountains, twoheadedragon. The problem wasn't where I was, but who I was with. My grandmother and my dad are nice and all, but they start to wear thin as traveling companions after a week or so. Maybe you don't take hot showers, but it's the only way for me to get the tension out of my muscles and wake up in the morning. I sorely missed those.

Maybe you don't take hot showers, but it's the only way for me to get the tension out of my muscles and wake up in the morning. I sorely missed those. Oh, I understand... Sorry man, I haven't taken hot showers in a long long time, here the average temperature is about 30-34 degrees Celsius, so a cold shower is my respite from a long, hard, tiring, hot day. I also like to take one when I wake up (the locals take 3 showers a day, one before bed, one in the early afternoon, and one when waking up. I take 2, just the first and last I mentioned). I'd be willing to give all my saved-up money to spend a week in the mountains with my Grandma, she was so wonderful and kind. She passed away exactly 8 years ago, today I remember her, and the memories I shared with her all come flooding back... Sorry, I'm getting all emotional just thinking about her... *ahem* I advise appreciating her while she's still around (the same goes for all of you who still have Grandmas).

AWESOME!!! I had no idea they were yours! Okay, I had a bit of an idea (since you're such a cool dude ), but I wasn't really sure, since Venom was the one who always used them. ;D Well, I ain't 13, so could you maybe PM me them? Thanks a lot, I'd appreciate it. BTW, who's Lisa? (yeah, I miss BJC as well)

Might not be until tomorrow since I'm on a schedule today Lisa is BJC's sister but she haven't been around for years..

LOL, I remember, when one of them found their way to the Larian Forum, and I posted 5-in-a-line (to commemorate "Venom's Dancing Bananas") Elliot mentioned (with a lot of grinning smileys ;D ) that he hated them. Methinks it stems from his anti-fruit-and-vegetable childhood. Thanks again, I look forward to seeing them! God knows I LOVE BANANAS! ;D Oh... So THAT's who Gal referred to when she mentioned "BJC, who loves to dress up prettier than his little sister." (remember Gal? I think it's in the thread welcoming me to CC ). ;D @ Fille: Looks like he MAY be back for a bit (a few of his posts are springing up), I hope he can post more often!

Rocker's OK, just busy as usual I'm sure she'll be thrilled you miss her, though As for the banana, yes, I loathe them
