Hiya, Des! Glad to see you back. And we hope that the Jab Archives get
back up so we can see more of your twisted artworks.

The last thing any of us want is to keep you and Jim separated. It'd drive
you both bonkers. And we'd all like to meet you, Des, but I'm quite
certain you wouldn't want to meet most of us. We're kinda tweaked. =};-3

Wasn't one of the other problems the fact that his present condition
precludes any flying? Cabin pressure would likely rupture more blood
vessels in his eyes and that would suck most mightily. For now, stick to
events that are just a day or so's drive from home, like Memphis.

I'm surprised that Elin hasn't been able to drag him out of his shell at
the times they were at a con together. She's good at that. And if that
doesn't work, we'll throw him in a room with Lisa Sample...

You're not getting rid of us _that_ easy... =};-3

Good luck with your work search. I'm about to graduate from school this
February and will be in a similar predicament.

He is? And here I thought that was just a skin condition! Next you'll be
telling us he's The Amish Avenger, defender of horse-and-buggy technology.

Time enough to breed a horse, at least.

If I saw someone like Lori on the menu, I'd probably order more.

Scanners are easy to use. Usually you just hit the button on it that says
SCAN. It's the software after the scan's done that has a lot of details....

Backs, fronts and all other directions. And if I drop the soap, it's
staying there. =};-3
