Welcome! Come on in and join us. We're just one big dysfunctional family.

Entrez-vous, and come on in! The water's fine!

Welcome you also get to chat across the big lake.
You can make it fool proof but not idiot proof
Ceasar, I'll add to the welcome. We can always use fresh ideas and different solutions....some of which actually work!
If you really need resources on just about any construction topic, including software and computer stuff, then run over to the Archives.
I be an Architect but come on here to learn stuff. I never know where subjects lead but the regulars make it interesting and when they're not beating on each other they really analyse problems.
ciao, ted
Ted, Can you take a look at my post? "anyting wrong with this layout???" Its in general discussion area.
Thanks if you can, Lou C
Looked at it briefly and took some notes. See you over there.
ted"You can have it fast, good or cheap. You can only have two of the three. Fast and good, it won't be cheap. Good and cheap, it won't be fast. Fast and cheap, it won't be good. Now, what's your choice?"
Hail Ceasar!!!! Welcome

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming
WOW!!! What a Ride!
Forget the primal scream, just ROAR!!!
Ahhhhh, yes........I can feel the love already!!

Especially if they invite you to the Tavern.......

Be just another Forum.

Easy for you to say, you haven't bought a round in years! I've been watching you from my booth.......

WOW!!! After a grueling 13 hour day, I was pleasantly surprised to meet all of you...... tough business week (new home final occupancy) and the deadline is this FRIDAY just in time for the long holiday weekend. I get my normal schedule back soon thereafter and plan to spend time sifting through all the threads and responding to some of you as well. Most of the initial things I'd like look for are business related areas and to see maybe other people do things (especially G.C.'s). It is not always a clear science and in these tight, competitive times, advice or validation is hard to come by. Any hints (without stepping on toes) on the best direction to start? (some of you mentioned "the Tavern") I think spending some time on the Breaktime forums will lead to answers. Any way, need SLEEP, hell week is almost over..........................
Welcome.Over on the left part of the screen os a column with various sections and threads below those. One of the the sections is Business. Bunch of good stuff in there. If you try the advanced search feature don't worry about the "water pipe" and be patient with it.TFB (Bill)
Hey, it's another R.O.U.S.
(that'd be Roman Of Unusual Size in this instance)
Welcome! See you round the Circus Maximus.

Cool! Nice to meet ya!
I got these 4 dogs, they don't listen at all, I know your dog center is a godsend to many bad dogs, so, will you come to my house with the TV crew ( Im in Ky, it'll be a GOOD show) and train ME to train my dogs?
Thank you, Dog whisperer, my wife LOVES YOU.!

Dude! Welcome
When ever you have questions that might be answered differently due to region, reading your profile helps us help you.
You don't have to tell us everything or even your Mother's name 'cause if you choose to go to the Tavern they'll tell you all about yo' mama.
If you visit the Tavern bring sharp wit, a tough hide and a thirst for abuse.

Welcome, Ceasar.
I'm fairly new myself, and it's a little crazy in here sometimes, but you'll love it!
What's life without lunacy!!
Pssst, The correct manner to address him is "Hail Ceasar".
This is The Forum after all.
