    What was the single best thing that happened to you in 2011?

    That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

    Well, I can't be certain yet, but I hope that it will eventually be revealed that the elimination of my job (as of 12/31/11, due to state budget cuts) might fill this role.

    But to go with something more solid, I'll say it was having my daughter and granddaughter move near me in February.

      All my family made it through another year.
      Now run along and play, but don’t get into trouble.

        Moving back home to Kaaawa.
        As much as I dig beach front living in Waialua, and continuing my town love of Honolulu, 15 years away from where I belong was much too long. I can still see the beach from my bedroom window, but far enuf away from the Hwy. noise to enjoy it all with kitten Mittens, pit bull Lima, and 2 cement pigs in the front yard. AHHHHH!

        Best of luck with the job sitch, Leo!

              I passed a kidney stone.
              May I always be found beneath your contempt.

                    That's a really nice electric guitar for folks like myself that didn't know.
                    I researched it.

                      I knew a few like yourself would be interested enuf to search and appreciate, MM. A search provides much better examples of info and pix than I could post of the one I got, a blacktop, just like I'd been dreaming of. Never heard of any new PRS being had for $500.

                      Hang around, Tats, for a long time. Best!

                        Like Leo, I'm making the most of forced transitions. Mine is getting the kick in the rear to finally try changing careers from computer geekery to teaching. Thanks for laying me off, stupid startup!

                          Been through that a few times myself, and I wouldn't wish that pain on anyone. Up your liquid intake - any kine liquids (beer & wine included), because you may now have a 50-50 chance of getting them again (if yours was standard kine).

                          AMEN! Still hoping to see you in person someday.

                          Hope we'll both have success stories to tell before long, Pohaku.

                              I think the best thing that happened to me in 2011 was that a certain HT person put me on "IGNORE."
                              Life certainly has been better since then.
