Hey Texas, are you going back to Belgium??

I think that if you have a passport it is easy to renew it online, and cheaper.
That's what my wife said anyway, just check it out.

They promoted me to Stator Manufacturing Manager. I went from supervising 40 people to managing 125 and running three product lines.

Today was a good day.
Congrats Scott!!! Great things come to great people!!!!

Thank you. It's really funny how things work some times and I am still in awe of some of the things that have happened the past few days.

Like getting taped to your chair?

Congrats on your promotion and I hope you enjoy your little work trip. A country that believes in meat and beer can't be a bad place to visit.

Congrats on the promotion Scott! Sounds like you had a GREAT day!!

When I got my passport I went to Walgreens and had them take my picture. I had heard that your passport could be rejected if you picture isn't just right. Figured it was worth the $7.99 to make sure they were done right and if it wasn't then I could blame them

Yes, even that. The guys told me the reason why I was held down and taped to the chair was so that I couldn't leave. That incident made me re-think my wanting to leave. Thanks, Chris!

Thanks, Jeremy. Yes, it does as a matter of fact. I am staying where I was raised, literally. I started there when I was 21.

I finally get to see how the other half live with internet service!! I finally got something other than dial-up!! Maybe now I can keep up with all these OT threads. As far as my spelling and punctuation goes, I'd have to say that text messaging has ruined me. These forums are the only place I have to any type of spelling anymore and I often find myself typing things two or three times to make sure I have them right. No I'm not handicapped, I do have a high school edumacation(HA HA). Oh yeah, I'm a chicken-pecker. The keyboard on this new laptop is taking some getting used too. Just to throw it out there, that if I would have had to text this whole message to somebody, it would not have been half as long and Mark wouldve blown a fuse by now! Text messaging is a whole different world. I no so ppl her no wat Im talkn bot. Oh yeah, congrats Scott.

And Congrats also.
