Got Something You Want To Say?

Wow, an 11 hour flight. For some reason I thought it would be shorter. :doh: I hate missing transit flights as well. It's such a drag.

The original reason behind me visiting PEI is because of AoGG, I'm not gonna lie. :beaten:

mine was about a 10hr flight, direct from Narita-LAX, and good thing you didn't have to deal with that cancel flight fiasco with JAL last Monday.
welcome back. its been almost a week now, and i just got over my lingering jet-lag, atleast i had the sleep hours straightened out the day i arrived back, its just getting the energy-level back in the swing of things and re-adjusting to the work schedule.
i am sure you got lots of stories and Japan pix to share, i sure do.

semi-off topic,
on cherry trees, i just realized i have one in my backyard, but has barely bloomed. Ahh i miss the ones in Ueno Park and elsewhere in Japan, they are everywhere!! :bonk:

Hey hey... Good to see that you're alive and kicking. :victory:

So I was sitting at work yesterday and my mobile phone rings. It's my son. "Hey Dad, how do you turn off the water to the house? The bathroom is flooding!"

Turns out a small flexible stainless steel hose inside the toilet had burst, flooding the bathroom. No damage done though :sweat:

Would just turning off the water to the toilet been easier? [/list:u]

It was our new bathroom, the tap to turn the water off is actually inside the cistern. I had never looked inside there before :sweat:

I was thinking of being part of the grand parade this year....

The last few weeks have been hectic at work.... debug this, write new code, debug that.... :sweat:

I had that happen a couple of years back to an upstairs bathroom... What a mess. :bleh:

Good thing I had a wet/dry vacuum to sop everything up.

I want to. I need to find the email of the parade organizers....and get a happi coat. Now what was that store that PCM was talking about? Time to use the search engine.

You need to ask Ralph. He bought a Happi coat for the parade too :)

After my long sick leave (been out since about March 12), I finally go back to work tomorrow. Maybe I should take my friend's advice and act like I'm going but then don't and say "April Fools!" :mrgreen: :beaten:

Wow, you were off sick all that time? I never realised. Are you better?

Yeah, I'm a lot better. The cold that I had lasted for about 3 weeks. My laryngitis lasted for about 1 week, but my voice is still not 100%, so although my first karaoke experience this past Saturday was awesome, my voice wasn't quite up to par and I couldn't hit the high notes. =T

3 weeks? Wow, that's nasty! Glad you're better now :)

Me too! I was beginning to miss going to work last week. But now that I actually have to go back tomorrow, I'm kind of dreading it. :P (Especially I can't do the chat thing too often :( )
