Haven't seen Dave and his email is/has been bouncing.
I'm praying that all is all right with Dave and his family. It isn't like Dave to not answer some of the mail I've sent out lately. I'll try just a simple message instead of forwarding something and see what happens.
Well that didn't take long, email is still bouncing...

Hey folks. Thanks for thinking of me. Must have been meant to be. I just noticed the time that Roy posted this. At that exact moment, I was fighting off a potentially large asthma attack, the likes of which I've only been hit by a couple of times. Atlanta air pollution is rough on me. Maybe one day we'll have a better lifestyle in a cleaner and quieter place. But, as long as the family is safe and OK, I have no complaints.
Other than that, I've just been working like crazy lately. My job's been busy and probably will stay that way 'till around September something. Most of the remaining time has been spent playing with the kids. I haven't felt like doing much else.
We changed our phone service, and unexpectedly lost our email service, but we have a new one now. I'll update my profile and PM you guys with an updated email. Sorry about that.
I'm touched that you guys asked about me, and I appreciate it. It was an unexpected good suprise today. thank you. wado, Yvsa.

Hey Dave,
Glad to hear things are going o.k. for you..other than a nasty asthma attack.
My wife has battled that for years...tho she seems to be doing much better lately.
Did you happen to take any pics at the Blade dinner? If so could you email them to me please. Thanks.

Hi Roy- email sent. Thanks again for the thread.
Shappa- sorry, no pics taken. I just enjoyed the evening.
It's been a good weekend so far. I have never been so content to play lego's with my boy and my daughter is reading books to me. not bad at all.

You know, it's about time we had a Lion's Roar thread. Long overdue.
A Lion's Roar thread can be tossed around, held, sputtered at, and is a good place for tidbits of knowledge and a funny joke or two.
Yeah. I kinda like being in a Lion's Roar thread. We should push a few more long standing highly regarded forumites into the open for their own threads. You think I won't do that, don't put it past me...

Thanks Munk! I think there are a many forumites that have more tidbits of knowledge and better jokes than I. We all do what we can with what we've been given.
Funny thing a couple of weeks ago. My wife and I had to have our house appraised to refinance our mortgage. Now, our life is normal to us, and it doesn't really dawn on use that things might not be typical until, say, someone visits us and is a caught a little off guard by our decor.
When you walk into the first room of the house, it isn't too big, sort of a family room type of place that I converted into an area to work out.
You walk in, and there is a pull-up tower. Asian scrolls on the wall, a couple of watercolor murals that my daugther did while my wife and I were taking a nap (we are waiting for my son to grow up before we repaint- that and I kind of like them). There are numerous long, middle and short sized sticks, khukuries, swords from various cultures, a wooden stool with bags for martial arts training (iron palm), several bookcases filled with 30+ years of collecting books on darn near everything. Lots of stuff from Cherokee and Apache cultures are around the house. This along with my Indian wife and the air of mystery that seems to surround her until she opens her mouth with a slight southern accent from hanging around me.
The appraiser was a sports type kind of guy, and I was very nice to him, but couldn't understand his slight discomfort being in the house. Heck, I've noticed this before when certain people have come in the house to install cable, or do some kind of work in the house that I can't do myself. I've noticed that if you have a contactor that want's to be dishonest, that sometimes these items really can make them nervous. That's not the intent, but it happens.
It was after the guy left and was down the road that it dawned on me. I guess he was a little relieved to get out of here, however friendly we tried to be. I can just envision him now, snapping his fingers and singing the Adams family theme song as he drove away.
We lovers of khukuries and other things unusual are a minority indeed! I kind of like it that way. I think I smell my wife's curry cooking....

That is a very strange story.
I cannot fathom why people would be uncomfortable in your house.
Shallow people. Sometimes people love talking to me on the street, I reach them. Crazy kind of thing because I look very mild, but have surived the worst of drunkeness and been a cast-out. The riffraff recognized me as a brother. To this day important businessmen sometime overlook me until I begin to speak, then they recognize peerage or more and even confide in me. There's a blue's line about drinking with kings and peasents. Other times their first impression is so strong- I'm a failure as consumer, that nothing I say can break through to their worlds. But for the most part, I've gotten so good at being myself, and not worrying about being seen as eccentric, that people from all walks of life respond with their hearts to me. Very big players, and very 'small' people, like our friendly neighborhood Postmaster That is one thing I get satisfaction out of in this world. I'm not a big shot player, I haven't written the great american novel, but I've a strand of pearls behind me, moments with persons who were alive and acknowledged, not hidden, recognized and accepted, and these minuets; these little one act plays are satisfying for me to look back upon. There's no record of them. Only the persons I've touched and who in turn have touched me retain them, and God. The Great Heart, the mystery.
Anyway, I can well relate to what you are saying about your living room.
I think the dishonest ones who are nervous around you are partially that way because they see things they want to take. They also see there could be awful consequences if they are caught. Gee, I hope the khukuris do not leave the wall and chop into active service.
