Dearest Sweedish Man Lost in Scotland,
Hi,I just had the greatest New Year's Eve Celebration with some Scots. It was called a "Hogmaynay". Have you had a chance to throw down and party with the locals yet? I love their music. I checked out the pics of the Highland Gathering, thanks. Bye the Bye you've just been found.
Worlds of Love,

Greetings and salutations to you, JLC.

I am pleased to hear that you had a pleasant Hogmanay celebration. The Scots are a friendly and hospitable bunch, aren't they? I have to say that I haven't had the pleasure of really celebrating Hogmanay as both the New Years weekends I've spent here in Scotland has consisted of work, mostly. Not that I complain, though, since I've volunteered to work, but it has had the unfortunate side effect that I haven't been able to go to a real Hogmanay party.

I went to have a look at your user page, and I agree that most of the people online are either from the US or the UK. I don't know if there are more from NY than from anywhere else in the US, though. There's also a lot of Aussies around.

Anyways, I shall now go back to doing some actual work, so I bid thee fare well for the time being.
Au revoir.
LiS

Ps. Isn't Lex Luger the Total Package?

Isn't Lex Luger related to Batman? Or was that a German Pistol? Do you think they gave him the last name Luger to make one think of the mean German Pistol? Who is Lex Luger?
I forgot.
Does he also tout himself as the TTP? Do tell.....
If you go back really far in my forum, my good "forumer" (I'll have to go back to your page and see if I have this word you coined on your page is spelled correctly) you will see that TTP has some root in my Florida Southern Mick Jagger/-Bob Dylan hero worship of = Tom Petty. I am just about to get into picking up my running program, so I'll be listening to his album "Southern Accent" at the track. I saw him recently on the tele and he looked tired but sounded good as ever. I think I am holding up better for the wear than he is.
"Good love is hard to find...You got lucky babe, when I found you..Oh Boy..."
So you are a Beamer without the benefits, lousy the way they take advantage of people through these temp agencies. If IBM is going to bleed you I hope they will give you some benefits and Manpower will stop using yours. Of course, by now, Manpower probably has a 401K program, and for benefits, where did you say you were from again? Norway? My girlfriend AnnaNorseGoddess has citizenship there I think she is holding on to it just in case.
I nearly went to work for the World Bank once, but it was one of those temp agency agreements. It could have led to something else but I couldn't see it. Life is short. Enjoy the local flavor.

Lex Luger was/is a Wrestler that has been wrestling in the WWF and the WCW for a long time. Don't know if he still wrestles, though. I know that he called himself the Total Package when he wrestled.
Anyhow, that was a side track.

You are absolutely right that I am an IBMer without the benefits of an IBMer. They have recently started giving Manpower employees the chance to get IBM ontracts, though, with the benefits included, but that has just started and will probably be a while before they start processing the applications for it.

I'd like a dual citizenship somewhere. Bad thing is that I'm from Sweden (not Norway) and if I actively apply for a citizenship other than the Swedish one I already have, according to Swedish law I revoke my own Swedish citizenship. Not that I need to tell the Swedish authorities that I have a double citizenship if I don't want to, but if they find out, I will no longer be a Swedish citizen.

Oh well.. Back to work..

Dearest Scotty,
Things that make you say Hmmmm..... I am interested in finding an intelligent guy, very computer savey, who would like to have a beautiful woman waiting for him at home to pamper him. I am not looking for a child because I don't want to be anyone's keeper, and I don't want him to be mine. Really I'm not looking too hard. I am a bit gunshy when it comes to fly by night love at first sight romance. If you are interested in a cyber penpal let me know. I'm available.

Psst: Remember the words of the immortal John Lennon: "Imagine there's no country, it's easy if you try...Imagine All the People, Living Life in Peace, You may say I'm a dreamer but I'm not the only one,I hope some day you'll join me, I hope someday you'll join me and the world Will Live As One
All things are possible through Love.
