Unofficial Tex Murphy

A lot gone on in the past couple of months in my life. I became a member of the employed, I moved to a new state and I've started to enjoy using pencils again.

Your return has perfect timing - we have imminent news from those who control us.

And it's good to see you back, and congrats on the job - do tell more about it - what exactly?

It's an IT job. We are a small business that provides IT support for other small businesses who can't afford or don't want a full time IT staff.

How's things on your end pal?

Good work on the job acquisition mate! And yes, good timing I agree!

-Cub. =o)

So glad you are gainfully employed. Nice to see the old gang reassembling for the big news.

since this is a news thread, I have just purchased some land to build a new house.

Glad to see you back, freep. Congratulations on the job. Where are you living now?

Lynn, congrats on the land purchase. Do you have a build date set yet?

On the news front, I hope I am closing on the sale of my house tomorrow. We were on the market about exactly a year and are ready to be done. I am still losing money on the deal (especially when you consider how much we put into the house after we bought it), but it's time to move on. The bad news is that the place I am buying won't be ready until the end of April, so I'm putting everything I own in storage and renting a place for six weeks, which will be interesting with the kids. That's why I hope CJ and AC have a long time frame on whatever they're planning because I will have a lot more financial freedom once I close on the house I'm buying.

P.S. Sorry if I am quite talkative tonight. I am very anxious/excited about tomorrow's news and just want to spend time with everyone here. I am also drinking a fair amount, but I don't think I'm quite pulling a Cub yet.

the land is not released as yet maybe looks like another month, I have to settle on the land before the 30th june as to get free stamp duty from the government. I have 6mths to lay foundations to qualify a saving of 7,000 so I have to be quick.

You should also get a digging permit.

Congrats dcat and plum on your new places/digs. It is really cool to see so many new faces and old faces returning for tomorrows news.

Big hugs to all!

they appear to have never left us just peering in the background & not posting.

That's pretty much what I tend to do most of the time

Anyway, congrats on your new job, freepizza. That's really great to hear.


As for news on my end there's not so much to say. My daughter turned 2 years of age 2 months ago. Time certainly flies! Oh and yeah - my wife wants to have a rabbit as she thinks it would be interesting for Olivia to take care of a little bunny

Latest photo of my daughter (taken March 17th) can be seen here. The photo was taken at the playground in the middle of the town, we live in:

Busier than ever -- my fourth child is nigh on eight months old and the other three, nine and under, are a handful. Meanwhile, I'm back into writing my dissertation full force. All this to say, I'd welcome a good distraction. Glad to see you all again!
