Possibly next Saturday? Did you ever try and get an exact time and date out of a person in the Philippines? Not even the Dentist. Ain't going to happen.

Me too :mad:

I'm starting to nest a bit, went out and tried to find a pillow that's a replica of his favourite pillow. It's tough to find a pillow so heavy it could put a hole in the wall if you tried to kill a mosquito.

Yes, an 8 hr day and being able to go home afterwards will be great! Half the hours he put in at sea. And weekends!

So you're trying to tell me that after a bottle of Tanduay under the tree that you don't pee on the hydro pole with the best of them? You don't embrace the liberating fact that finally you have the right to pee wherever you want?
