I rescued a baby today.
As I was passing a house, a distressed lady came to me and the two other passers by and asked us for help. She had locked herself out of the house and her toddler was screaming for her. I managed to pry open the laundry window wide enough for the other guy [a teen boys who's name I didn't catch] for him to stick his arm through and he managed to open the laundry door. The mother was very grateful for our assistance.

I'd vote Rowsdower for president just for this.

After we rescued the kid, I was singing to myself 'I'm here to save the day in a broken truck, with a stinking denim jacket on my back'

Feels like the Captain Hammer part of "A Man's Gotta Do" would work fairly well, too, Rowsdower.
Me and Wissenlander had babies!

not together.

I noticed something in the 40k lore that has been staring me in the face for several years. Its word play I had never noticed.
Ferrus Manus of the Iron hands. Manus is a misspelling of the Spanish word 'Manos': meaning 'Hands'

I am happy to share with everyone that since last Thursday, Ms. Realjuan became Mrs. Realjuan. We been looking forward to this next step in our relationship, and we finally decided to make the leap (and got the bureaucratic permissions to do so).

This probably means that I am stuck in the old continent, so you wont get rid of me as fast anymore.

If not 'Mrs Realjuan', then 'RealJuana'. Congrats. Me and the other have been engaged for more than 20 years. Unlike you, we chose not to rush things.

So it really is the old "Juan Two" now.   ………… Badumtish  :closed-eyes:

She's far too good for you - so well done for tying her down. :engel:

…….. and don't listen to those two old farts, I married my lady after 14 months and we're coming up to 34 years together next month!

Now we await the patter of tiny feet and "Little Juans"    :biggriin:

Thanks everyone for the kind words and "advises" :D

We both looking forward to seeing you guys again, or to meet you for the first time.

Today I won a first place trophy in the local model show. I wasn't expecting to win either. Turns out my 'Take five' M3 Stuart diorama was a real crowd pleaser.
