Title: OK...who's still in the house
Post by: MallardWacker on January 31, 2012, 10:08:10 AM
Good Morning Folks,

Some you guys don't know me so ... but for the old timers that have been around for a while...those are the ones I am talking to.

Just checking in...sure has been a while.  Just wanted to stop by and say HI.  Everything is going well around the home, me and the Hen Mallard are empty nesters now.  Gosh I think some of you remember when my boy graduated HS.  Well he graduated second in his class with a double major in Chemistry and Math and now is a PhD candidate at University of Wisconsin-Madison in Chemistry. My daughter is at University of Arkansas Med Science winding her way to be a Radiology Assistant. So it's just me and the wife...  really nothing prepares you for an empty house and the quite rooms.

No I have not been smoking to much. You have no idea what pressure I get from the wife to fire up the Bradley... and my best friend is mad at me do to the fact I haven't made any bacon lately.

I changed jobs to investigating accidents and that has snow balled.  Actually I'm getting tired of the travel.  I'm praying that something would give a little.

I have always said that this IS the nicest group of people on any forum...

Be safe put there...I'l be back!

Wow, glad to hear from you!!!  It has been a while indeed.  Sounds great for the kids.  I'm a chemist myself and wish your son well.  It's a grind but well worth it.  What type of chemistry is he working on for his doctorate???  Looking forward to your future posts MW.  All the best
