#295984 - 12/30/04 02:29 AM Am I a Hermit?
thomasj Power Poster Joined: Mar 2001 Posts: 5,063 Pennsylvania	Just today I realized that I have not left the "compound" since Christmas Day. I am on vacation all week and have only made trips to take out the garbage, take some stuff to the garage, and check on the vacant rental property next door. I have been playing games with the kids, watching movies, cooking meals, and straightening up the house. Kind of a nice change from the four Christmas parties in 2 weeks and last minute shopping trips! I am getting somewhat concerned about the length of my hair and beard as well as my toenails and fingernails but I will deal with that on Sunday......oh wait the Steelers are playing........................ _________________________ Knowledge is knowing what to say.

I hope next year I can take this week off. I get the OCC the first week of January every year. Not fair. _________________________ Kathleen O.

I find that highly enjoyable. _________________________ In this world you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant. Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant.

You got my attention with the Steelers statement, according to my husband you need to watch a Steelers Game with other fans!!! A good reason to go outside if ever I heard one. My down time is very important to me but a Steeler game can cut into that anytime, especially this with "BEN" playing. Got my BIG BEN hat and family and friends to watch the game with, what could be better???? _________________________ Treading water in a hurricane
