Jobs, babies and cars!

[HeavenSentReply]

Long time no see guys.. It's been awhile since I've talked to most of you, just thought I'd say hello. My personal life has been far too messy for awhile now, and everything's finally starting to simmer down, thought I'd take the opportunity to get in here while I could. I recently started a new job, eh career, as the co-owner of a small business solutions company here in the northwest. At 20, this leaves me extremely overwhelmed most days, so I've been vegging out on the television and sleeping while I can. In similar news, my girlfriend and I are expecting what is both of our first child: Kegan Leroy Hikalea. He's due december 15th, and we couldn't be more excited. I also recently recovered my truck, which was stolen from in front of her parents home.

How ever busy I am, though, I couldn't overlook you guys/gals. I miss auntmeg's virtual chocolate chip cookies, denise's hot bod, and tom's terrible habit of driving on the wrong side of the road (idc where you live, thats not right man). Yeah, and jess's impeccable ability to be blunt and awesome simultaneously, and mel and my shared love of incubus. You all rock, and I can't walk away.

So here's where we stand. Use the 12tb storage that I have spread across my companys servers to start/host a completely new site, or raise $65 to upgrade our current TLC to an FTP package, allowing us to do whatever we damn well please. I tried this before but everyone was fairly broke. Let me know what everyone thinks, and we'll go from there.

kyle! Hello! Miss you, too. I was told that I missed you in the chat one night, sorry! You should take a moment and breeze through the meetup thread, there's been a few that you're not aware of.
congrats on the small human child!! I want pictures when he's out. Can I be Aunt Lissa? It's what my nephew calls me.
speaking of our shared love of Incubus.. Did you know Brandon Boyd has a solo album? It's called The Wild Trapeze and it's amazing.

onto business... I am all for raising the money. I DO NOT want to start over or lose any of the threads. Too much. That's my vote.

we only need $65?? I'll pitch!

edit: BTW, nice to meet you Kyle. Sounds like life is happing to you, and a lot of it! Congrats on the small business endeavour and best of luck. Keep whatever sanity you may have, don't give it away to the job

Let me be the first to say "AWWWW!" I'm so excited for you! On all counts! I agree on keeping what we've got, info wise. I just wish I knew how to change the front page, like the banner and such. I know at one time you had some options but I don't even know where to begin on any of that. My cookies only hold so much power...

i can pitch in for sure! and congrats kyle! seems like your life is taking shape

[TomGD]

Man. Congrats Kyle. You'll make a first rate father, I know it.

What does the new package get us? Business as usual or a real-fancy like site? $65 is not that much money so I'm sure it'll be ok.

Full style control of the forums, add pages other then the forums, and iphone/android support (an app just for tlc). Those are the big ones. I need to setup a paypal though, donations can't be used toward the advanced package.

As long as it's adding to this and not starting it from scratch, I'm good with it! We can pitch in as well. I have a Paypal.
