Thanks everyone, I've missed my friends. The silly forum wants me to login every time I visit, even though I'm already logged into the site, but as long as it works, it's OK by me.
Found a few more interesting jobs and have applied, one working from home that would be perfect as I hate to leave Winston alone every day. I really don't want to do the first one, but wouldn't you know it's the only one that keeps getting back with me, so I guess it's fate or Murphy's Law or whatever. At least it's a job, so I guess that's something.
Now for the spooky: have a small lump on my upper hard palate (just to the left of the median line) that appeared a few days ago, it feels hard, like a piece of bone, it's scaring the crud out of me after several Google searches turned up nothing but doom and gloom. I really hope it's nothing, as I can't afford to go to the dentist just now to have it checked out. Has anyone else ever had anything like this and if you did, what was it? I wonder if it has anything to do with the sinus cold I've had for a good 2 weeks now, complete with runny nose, sneezing and sore throat, I can't seem to shake it. I never normally get colds, (take lots of Vit. C daily), so that's annoying in and of itself, but this lump has me worried, which is not a good thing.
Oh well, if it doesn't kill me, I'll live.
Cheers and beers from me and the big guy,
