Kinda reminds me of the old story about filling out a job application. In the days when political correctness wasn't an issue, there was a box labeled sex. Some people responded to that with whenever I can get it.
A more recent aside. I am a breast cancer survivor. A portion of my anatomy was lost (strange term, wonder if I'll ever find it), along with my hair, which has now grown back but I keep short out of preference - saves on shampoo. When approached by a stranger on my left, it is with sir, from my right it's ma'am. Ah well, beats the alternative.
No matter, it's what's between my ears that counts. .-)

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Sharing Decks
Hi,
Are you ok? I tried to respond and thank you for the incentive you gave me about the spreads, etc...
In all seriousness, I'm diabetic, as you said a four year survivor, right now I'm on a rollercoaster ride from a change in my meds. I emailed Richard, uploaded some decks, and then literally passed out. It's 2:37 am here in Timonium Md. (USA), and I'm (right now) feeling normal.
(Oh yeah! Abby Normal! I knew her! :-}
Your right it is what's between your ears that count, let's start with an Impish sense of humor!
but as long as you're all right I'll close.
Take Care,
Marvin

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Sharing Decks
To all my good buddies,
Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty the weekend is here! What a week! I’m gonna use this forum to vent, (couldn’t ask for a better group of guys and gals who are willing to listen) relax and re-center after a week of extremes.
First of all, NO! I’m not upset with anyone Marvin, I am a Scorpio - you’ll know when I’m mad, believe me! .-) I fact, this forum has been my one link to sanity for the past week. But being the “cyber-cop” (among other hats I wear) at work, I have to exert a bit of restraint in personal emails/postings. Also, since the big boss at work is a staunch fundamentalist Baptist – no booze, no dancing, no cards. . .see where I’m going? I firmly believe his wife has experienced immaculate conception - - three times. .-)
Speaking of which, hubby, Mike, has been in Florida (1600 miles away and I'm in El Paso, Texas!) for the past week. (Help!) Our daughter, Becky, the light of our life, is expecting our first granddaughter in July. (Aurora, I did your Baby spread – it was a very accurate depiction of the parents personalities and even said “It’s a girl” BEFORE the sonogram was taken!) She has been experiencing a few minor difficulties and has strict instructions not to drive. Her hubby, Chris, (a terrific guy!) is a firefighter, working 48 off 24 and she often stays with us while he is on duty. Mike has been the one to chauffer and nurture her. It’s been my turn now. My hat’s off to any man who has experienced this dubious honor. Pregnant women are the pits! Mike, you are a saint!
Those of you who are familiar with the phrase, “Waiting for the other shoe to drop” will understand this: There is a millipede above me who is now bare-footed. . .
I am the controller for a family-owned manufacturing firm specializing in custom coatings used on tv, computer, electronic cabinetry etc. It’s a highly competitive business, hence the cyber-cop image. I usually get to hole up in my office juggling figures, and I occasionally stick my head out the door to see if my staff is surviving – most of which are terrific! Well, this week has been something else!
My staff consists of two on vacation, one on emergency leave and one who’s main concern is taking a long lunch hour to get her nails done. The owners, CEO, president, VP, sec/treas (lady Madonna) and purchasing agent, have been off to Houston for a big family wedding (how do Baptists celebrate if they can’t dance?). So my job description has expanded to include making coffee and answering the phone while M is getting her claws sharpened (more about claws later, just for you Marvin .-) ). I refuse to do windows!
The phone is the worst one. After being berated by irate/arrogant customers for my lack of skill with all those little damn buttons, my poor Spanish and actually having to wait while I look up their purchasing history for the last five years, I finally lost it. When one of them called me a stupid b*tch, that was the last straw! I responded with “Mr. C, I am not stupid, I am transferring your call to head of sales.” Notice, I “played nice” and didn’t refer to his second explicative - upon occasion, I have been known to live up to that title.
My most heart-wrenching experience has been being excommunicated from the pride. Our five purries are beside themselves with Mike gone. They are unaccustomed to being alone all day and you would think they would be delighted at my home-coming each evening. Not so! I am greeted with distain, if greeted at all. What I would do for a purr, a nuzzle and a not-so-gentle kneading from their delicately sharpened claws!
Ah well, the week is done – I can relax, but first need to go check the snail mail and see how many trees have been destroyed by five days worth of junk in the box. THEN I will play with Orphalese! Need to check out all those great deck uploads. You have all given me so much to look forward to!
Thanks for listening. In the words of Scarlet O’Hara. “Tomorrow is another day . . ”

PS: Richard, No, ver 6 is not jinxed! Get those squirrelly thoughts out of your mind! You are our great guru!

Hi Christine,
Sorry to hear about your week! I'm a Saggitarious (Yes a big ball of fire!) with more scorpio that Sag in me! It scared the person doing the chart, I was baffled (I'm not into astrology, have the interest, just no one has ever explained it in a way that makes sense to me!) If I had my wood working shop I'd offer Card Boxes to everyone, (and yes, I realize just how much work that would entail for this group. (But how would you get electronic decks in wooden boxes?) Did you get the chance to check out my spreads? I hope that you liked them. I have a collection of them, probably as big as most people's deck collections.
Relax, enjoy the weekend!
Marvin

Hi Guy,
To paraphrase history: Cry Havoc, and let loose the Decks of Lore!
(Yes, go for it!)
Later,
Marvin

Christopher - Thanks and Yes
Hi Christopher. Thanks for the nice deck additions! I was especially struck by the Vandenborre pack. I'm a sucker for old decks, so any you can add will be appreciated. No need to rush, of course. These packs have waited hundreds of years for me,so I can wait for them too!
Thanks again.
