I finally get back online to find your offline AHHH!!! - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

Hi All
I just have no luck?
AT the beginning of December I was laid low with illness it took me three weeks before I could get out of bed and to top it all, the computer crashed big style. Santa was a bit skint and a new computer was out of the question until the end of January. It finally arrived and the first thing was to order new blades from Mike and answer the private messages. The next thing was to thank everyone for the Christmas ornaments but the site went offline!!!!!!!!!!.
The only thing that kept me going during the illness was the arrival of the Christmas ornaments so I would like to give a BIG thanks to you all it was the highlight of the day when the postman came with one. Some were damaged but the wife put her puzzle skills to great use and fixed them good as new.
When I managed back to work in January I managed to sneak a few looks at the message board but it was read only (company's strict code of practice), there was over a thousand new messages I could not believe it we sure have expanded.
To all the new comers and transfers from the other site a belated and warm welcome from across the pond in Scotland.
I have had a quick look at the patterns and Jediscroller has done us proud again you must have put in a heavy shift to collate all the patterns from the other site, great work Kevin.
You do not know how much you depend on something until it is not available, and it is only then you relies how much you miss it.
It's good to be back.
Thanks again Graham.

Hi Graham, glad to hear that you are back on your feet. I was wondering where you had been. It is good to have you back. Steve

So glad that you are getting back to your old self. It is amazing how much we miss the old humdrum work place when we are forced away from it. I have been retired three years now and I don't miss the actual work at the workplace, but I do miss the people.

We are glad to have you back on the site.

Hay Graham, gosh we didn't know you was sick, what happened? glad your back in the grove of things. and your post sure got you back up to speed. wish I could keep things that simple. I would have gone on, and on. I am glad your feeling better. and even though I didn't join in the xmas swap. I have to commend your wife for fixing up the ones that didn't make it. what a sweat hart. glad your back, and I missed you too. your friend Evie

Thanks
It's is great to be back, as I said you, do not appreciate it until it's missing but it is even better when you find it again. I am still trying to catch up with all the new patterns and advice.
The weather has turned here and the snow is thick (well 4-6 inches I know it's not allot compared to some of you guy's) but it is cold enough to keep me out of the workshop, so I will I have time now to catch up with all the news and advice.
