Default Antoine (Marvin's Dad), Rules!

So, yeah, he does. He came over to my new house on Saturday, and put in (for free), a ceiling fan. I don't even think he asked for a soda.

You know, a lot of people say the internets is a creepy place, filled with DATELINE predators. But every now and then you meet neat peeps, who aren't cereal killers.

Thanks Antoine! It's cool in here.

Who you calling a DATELINE predator?

I was glad to see the DIN yesterday!

Someday I'd like to check out that ceiling fan and meet Antoine too!

Nicely played, Sir G!

Yeah, 'toine's good people. He once helped me empty a beer. Or maybe 2 or 3 times, actually.

Ah, so was the other roughly 140,000 people...

But you are one of the few who I was writing it for.

That is awesome! A few weeks ago I asked him a few career questions and he gave me a whole page response.

Yeah - sometimes I can go overboard with long responses, but hopefully it helped you! I guess I need to take that email and make a webpage out of it...I've answered that question a couple times now. LOL

TJ - I did ask for a bathroom so I could poop! While I was in there doing my "thing" I brushed up on my geography and figured out where all those foreign placed really are in relation to each other.

I agree Antoine was awsome when we met him the day after getting to Texas from Germany. It was also great meeting some of the DFW nb peeps.

Antoine! I got the HDTV Screen up and running on Saturday, and last night watched HEROES; it was awesome.

You got to come over soon, see what we have done. The house will be set up 100% (as in, no boxes packed) by this Wednesday, a week since we closed.

Are you guys going to make it over for the TNBRU in a couple weeks? Added bonus, you get to meet TJ.

Well, it was to a point. But by Wednesday, Ellen will be able to park her car in the garage. THAT to me, might be done today even. You got to come over soon, you, Pam, the child unit. You will be amazed. I hate boes. Going to get rid of most of them today.

I think he meant boas. He's not used to those giant snakes you have in Texas. Everything is bigger, right?

Boxes. Need to ad a 'x'.

Everything is indeed, bigger in Texas. Why, I say that every morning when I look in the mirror.
