Well we are halfway through the year already.  This has gone by fast, and I bet the holiday season will be here before we know it.  We have started a new desktop screenshot thread where you can show off what skins and wallpapers you are using.

What a time I have had in the last week and a half.  After months and months of waiting, we were finally able to close on our new house and it was time to load the moving truck.  The worse part is it was one of the hottest days this summer in Florida, and the ground temp was well over 110 degrees.  I hired one of the teenagers from my martial arts school to help us, so that ended up being a very helpful decision.

I have spent the last week building all types of things such as desks, dressers, etc., and my hands have had about enough.  All my kids finally have their rooms which means I had to give up my dedicated room for a home office, but I setup a nice corner in the formal living area and picked up a nice desk from IKEA.

I still have some organizing to do, and I still need to get the final Windows Home Server box setup.  It was strange not having internet for a week, and even when it was installed I could not get my older Linksys router to work because it didn’t seem to like fiber-optic too well.  I ended up having to buy a new router, but after that all was good.

Quite a few of you have e-mailed and PM’d me, and I will get back to you as soon as possible.  It’s good to be back!

Well after a nice vacation of moving boxes and getting our new house ready, I am back!  There is so much to catch up on as I didn’t have internet access for much of my time away, so I’m anxious to hit the galleries and see what’s been going on. 

Here are some featured picks that I found so far!

Television pitchman Billy Mays — who built his fame by appearing on commercials and infomercials promoting household products and gadgets — died Sunday, FOX News confirms.

Mays was found unresponsive by his wife inside his Tampa, Fla., home at 7:45 a.m. on Sunday, according to the Tampa Police Department.

Police said there were no signs of forced entry to May's residence and foul play is not suspected. Authorities said an autopsy should be complete by Monday afternoon.

Mays, 50, was on board a US Airways flight that blew out its front tires as it landed at a Tampa airport on Saturday, MyFOXTampa.com reported.

Great skins!
