Been away from the OT for a couple days. Waaaayy too much to catch up on. How is everyone today? Good to see the demented minds are still working strong.
Doing okay how are you? The demented minds missed you.
Susan will be working (new job) so I will hanging around the house. Probably mess with the truck a little, fix the hurricane damage to my roof (so I can keep the insurance money to myself), take Susan to lunch one day, sleep on the couch with the dog, you know, me stuff. It's use it or lose it and I never give vacation days back. I use this up and come back to work and I will have five weeks on the books to use up again.

Thats easy...popping your ears becomes natural eventually. I either usually yawn or flex my jaw muscles, anything to let that "trapped" air out of your inner canal.
if I ever win the lottery, id pay for a huge party up here in hte great white north and invite ya all!
That would be fun, I would even pay the cops to stay away

Elaborate on the equalize thing please, i dont know what that means. I always have gum when I dive deep, hate the taste of sea-water.
Your not suposed to drink the stuff...lol
Im going to say the gum thing is a bad idea..getting caught in your regulator and there goes your air...

Yeah besides, nobody has to worry about cleaning up after themselves, having morning breath, leaving wet towels everywhere...
Oh shoot, Cris my bad, I meant to clean up after myself. Sorry about the wet towel babe. I'll make it up to you...

I'll tell her. thanks
No more gum, note to self. Thanks for that. Like I said, it was Mexico, they didnt care of they killed me, I already paid.
