Zkribbler's Retirement House - Watch it being built!

[Zkribbler]

Thanks, O.

You have to make a timed deposit to an account...until when?

[Zkribbler]

You'd think they'd say, wouldn't you?

Maybe if you have neither a timed-account nor a leasehold, you lose you Visa.

[Lancer]

I don't like the idea that the $ I need day to day is going into an acct where I need permittion to take it out. We would be perpetually building houses and turning them over.

Well that sounds like fun.

Still, the banker might say no, he doesn't like the floor plan , then what?

Oerdin, its in God's hands. I think at this point we would both prefer not. Besides I have some genetic stuff, diabetes and addisons that I'd rather not inflict on anyone else. We are happy having fun with Sho's kids and we are happy when they go home with momma.

Fair enough though I figured all those pictures of you and the wife with all those kids you'd make a good dad. You might want to consider it as you have a good heart and I'm sure you'd be an excellent parent. Besides maybe the kids will get your wife's good genes rather then your sad sack ones.

I think the purpose of this rule is to just make sure they are letting fianacial flakes into the country. Being that you and the missus own 1 1/2 houses, three or four pieces of unimproved property, and who knows how many rice fields, I think you're golden.

[Lancer]

Well thanks Oerdin and Zkribbler.

Zkrib, consider bringing a couple of those wind up alarm clocks that don't require electricity. With Dolores and Clemente returning to the US the only way to get to the beach will be to ride with Sho at 7AM and either return at lunch or 5 PM. Alternately we can have him pick us up at lunch when it starts getting hot and return at 5 when it cools off.

[Dinner]

You guys ought to buy some bicycles.

[Theben]

Right now, I have to go into work and clean out my desk.

I take it you are officially retired then? What day was that?

[Lancer]

You guys ought to buy some bicycles.

That's a possibility...but the center of Jagna is between here and there. The way they drive here, and with the preconcieved ideas of right of way that we bring like so much baggage, we would be dead in no time.


Theben, check the 'Bohol Tour' thread. I made that thread to help pass Zkrib's last hour. That was...two or three days ago? Something like that.

Zkrib, recieved a tiny box. Stock this one unopened?

Zkrib, recieved a tiny box. Stock this one unopened?

...with one exception. If you open it, you'll find right on the top, a jar of sugarless syrup for you.

I take it you are officially retired then? What day was that?

Last Friday was the last day I worked. I'm taking this week off as vacation, and this coming Friday is my last official day. Thursday, I go in for my good-bye party, and to turn in my keys and employee badge.

I'm cleaning out the basement today and finding many treasures: a picture of my dad in his WW II uniform + his metals; my granddad's draft card; a gaggle of stories which I wrote in my younger days, including "Operation Eagle," a spy novel I wrote when I was in high school.

Syrup, nice!

A thick finish coat makes the wall flat. It has to be thick because it will be hit by waves carrying gravel.
