If you're waiting for me to do something, I must beg your patience. My life is full of distractions. Today, I had the heating folks out to inspect the house furnaces. Oh joy, one of them needs replacing. Expensive little s, aren't they! Then I was out for my annual diabetic eye exam. Thank goodness (and modern medicine), my eyes continue to be damage free. Then my car insists that some tire somewhere is low pressure. Probably the one with the nail in it! I've got to get that taken care of urgently… I will get these distractions out of the way soon, catch up on email and PMs, and then get back to the joys of working on TMP 4.0. Also: Celebrated our 29th wedding anniversary this weekend! |

Congratulations on your 29th and sincerely hope it is a happy marriage. In my case 24 years went down the drain with my first marriage and 18 years into the second it just gets worse every single day. No one to blame but myself as both were on sudden impulse and neither time did I choose wisely. After 42 years of it, and me heading towards the BIG Seven O", I could whine about being too old for a third go but then a neighbor got divorced at 80 and married again to a woman 82! They had a rather hot affair before that. Positively inspirational! As for dying furnaces and flat tires I have a 31 year old heat pump that is on its last gasp and a host of things long past needing repairs on the house so I feel for you. The HVAC is $2,500. USD The aircon on the car died and that is $1,000. USD We have had more flats in the past year than in the previous decade. Like the song says, "If it wasn't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all." In the end it is all about survival and I am still here so Life is very good. |

Congratulations on your anniversary! Having been in the blast diameter of 9 divorces, keeping it together is not easy. Just don't tell your wife to change the tire. |

Is there a reason why I have to hear about Dear Editor's "Behind"??? |

Behind would be very true. Its nearly been a week since I decided to pay for supporting membership and still no change in status. I'm a pretty patient person but this is really poor. This is one area that I would have thought one would be making sure was taken care of quickly. After all, if you want people to keep supporting through actual payments then this should be made a simple and efficient process. |

I misread the OP title as 'The Editor's Behind Again' and thought that the old photograph of his spectacular indiscretion at the TMP Christmas Party 2012 was circulating again. I still looked …again! |
