Hello, I'm back again...

My favourite Woody Allan joke goes like this:

Q: How do you make God laugh?

A: Tell him your future plans!

Things weren't all that happy at Casa Harrison for a number of years but things have finally started to settle down now to the point that I can take some time for myself. Basically, it was all about teenage children. All parents with teens in the past or present have some idea what I'm talking about but I can assure you, this was (at least!) more than a little worse than usual.

Anyway, I've actually been in the workshop doing stuff again. I look forward to sharing stuff with you all again over time.

You have obviously been here for a while and for me to say welcome to the forum would sound a little bit ridiculous. Since you were here before me I think you can say Welcome to the forum to me. :):):)

Welcome back Mark. So how did ya' settle the roue with the kids:? ...deport them ??

Hi Mark, I know very well what you're talking about.
Have 4 kids, once they were teenagers too, in the 80th. Than you don't have the time and monye enough for your hobby's. All are gone now, and now I'm retired with a what we call a ''Swiss life feeling'', that means the best thinkable life.
Glad we have you back on board.

Thanks all. One of my children is now on medication that has assisted in the ability to control temper. I have about 26 holes in the walls in my house. The largest is bigger than the size of a rugby ball and there are a number of others that are not that much smaller. Frankly speaking, the holes in the walls were the least of my problems! I've had to call the police to disarm the child on two occasions.

That gives you a small idea of the hell we've all been through. Anyway, five weeks now without global thermonuclear war at Casa Harrison. That's a HUGE improvement.

Anyway, thanks for listening.

I can not speak on behalf of anyone else. I do not have children and can not say much on this topic. You do have my support.
