Doing better I hope! Rusty, please report back after your appt today so we are all updated on your progress or lack thereof. Hoping it is not as serious as you may think

Dear Hotrodgirl and all my new Gilly friends and neighbors -
It's been an amazing day today. Walkthrough with the builder went off without a hitch at 9:00. The house is OUTSTANDING. Left for Brownwood and closing at 10:30 which took about 30 minutes. With new keys in hand it was back to check the new mailbox and when we arrived back at the house it was surrounded in CRIME SCENE tape, markers for all of the spent bullet casings, and chalk markings outlining where the bodies were. THANK YOU SO MUCH to my new neighbors and friends for arriving to console me and my family. YOU'RE THE BEST.

We have an iron clad alibi. Not sure about the shadier characters amongst us. Have you called in Scotland Yard?

We were glad that the Community Watch dude didn't have our contractor who was waiting for us to arrive from closing in handcuffs and chains. That would have taken some fast talking. Scotland Yard, or some guy with a STRONG British accent, was there taking photo's of the crime scene. He had the chief of police from some beach community in New Jersey there assisting. Things really came apart when the West Virginia State Police showed up on crutches, looking for the culprits who hurt him in the melee. OFFICER DOWN. What a day

Congratulations A4 and Cathy,
I thought the bodies were buried on our lot after that unique christening a few weeks ago. Glad to know they were really around the bend on Regency Ave. Enjoy the new house.

Default Fixing the "Last is First" Problem On This Thread

For many on this thread, "New Villagers in Gilchrist", you may have been frustrated that the messages are displayed "Oldest First". That means you have to go to the last page of messages to find the most current message. That's "Bass Ackwards" !" I've found the cure.

First log in to TOVO with your password and click on "Quick Links" at the top of the page.

Scroll down to "Edit Options" and click.

Next, scroll down the page until you see, in orange, the words" Thread Display Options". You're almost done.

Scroll a little further in that block until you see the words, "Thread Display Mode" and click on it.

In the little white box to the right, scroll down to "Linear-Newest First" and click. The words "Linear-Newest First" should be displayed.

Now just go to the bottom of the page and click on "Save Changes". You are done.

If you need help, call me, Mike, at 941-518-7711

Default Drama hits the neighbourhood

Dear Gillylanders,

As you will have seen from A4's post earlier, a drama hit the neighbourhood today.

After shots were heard around 11:30 in the vicinity of A4's new home, His Worship the Mayor dispached his Head of Administration and his Administration Assistant to determine whether there was a neighbourhood crisis or if it was just some drunken fool letting off steam.

On arrival at A4's home, two bodies were discovered laid on the drive;
which were duly marked, using real proper crime scene chalk supplied by the our own local Chief of Police (Ret).
2013-04-02_14-10-36_363-jpg

A number of empty shell cases were discovered, 22's and 38's, suggesting that there were two PERPS (which caused a panic with the His Worship the Mayors PERCS team, who thought they were under suspicion until the difference was explained to them).

The shells were duly identified and and marked at the scene;

and the crime scene, taped off;
2013-04-02_11-37-52_489-jpg

Just before the police were called, one of the 'bodies' gave a groan and rolled over, followed by the other one, both of which turned out to be drunken oafs (as suspected by His Worship the Mayor), who then proceeded to rise and stagger down the street, shouting about how excited they were that A4 was finally coming to the neighbourhood.

Just before the 'Crime Scene' was cleared, A4, his lovely wife and Mum arrived back from the 'Closing' to a chaotic scene, where workmen were milling about, refusing to cross the crime scene line, the Neighbourhood Watch was ringing the Police and the Head of Administration (HoA) and his Administration Assistant were trying their best not to keel over laughing.

Calm was finally restored and the HoA proceeded to ask the usual questions from His Worship the Mayor for anyone entering our neighbourhood, which were;

1. Do you Mrs A4, promise to keep A4 under control and not let him be drunk and disorderly around the neighbourhood more than 2 or 3 times a week? - to which she answered - "I DO"

2. Do you A4, promise not to land any A4-Skyhawks in the street -To which he answered - "ONLY ON BRINKELY"

With the final question to MUM, which was;

3. Do you MUM, promise to keep these to Party Animals in check, so they don't become a nuisance - to which she answered - "I DO"

These being the correct answers they were offically welcomed to the neighbourhood - phew!
