How is everybody doing - in June 2013?

[Jaga]

Guys, I see lots of old/new faces. Thanks for visiting the forum. How are you doing? What are your summer plans? Glad that you came back to the forum.

I was working today on another part of Marie Curie article for Polish-American Journal. Eric, I and James Smock tried to adjust forum properties. I was able to change the colors to more Polish.....and was able to add link to the website. I almost feel that we have too much red for now.
School is finishing on Thursday, but I will be still working part-time in Tutoring Center in the local college, except the next week, since we are going to Boise.

What are your plans for summer?

I am worried that we may lose some members so we need to update each other from time to time

I'm sure we'll find a good balance for the "new" forum eventually.  There are some features I like, such as the new posting window.  It's easier to use than the old one.  But some other things will still take some getting used to.

If I had to choose between the blue-and-white and red-and-white color schemes, I think I'd have to choose the blue.  Red and white is more patriotic for Poland, but... it doesn't quite seem to be the effect we're looking for, considering how the forum layout works.  Maybe when I have some free time I'll take a look and see what I can do.  But it will definitely take time, and that's not something I have a lot of right now... until my vacation at the end of this month.  

What about you?  Are you going to be travelling to Europe again this summer, or will you be staying mostly at home?

As for me, other than a week off at the end of this month (my traditional birthday vacation week), I have no plans except... to work, as usual.  But at least it keeps me busy.  For example, I had just one day off yesterday (Tuesday), after working very long hours Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday.  When I go back to work in a few hours it will almost feel like a lifetime has passed - after only one day!  I don't get much time off, and so I've almost forgotten what to do with myself when I have free time.  I wish my health could get better, but, unfortunately, I just don't have any access to professional help for that, so I just have to continue to struggle on my own, I guess.

Jaga, I owe you a phone call.  And you owe me a letter.

We will be going to Oregon, Alaska and Washington State for 2 weeks in July also. I like red, but I agree that too much red maybe too much, so I will try to tone it down eventually, especially in thread titles etc....
Besides costs and problems with accommodation in Poland, just travelling to Europe is too long from Idaho to do it each year!

I hope we will find Karl and other people (or they would find us) eventually.

Jaga, I agree with Eric. the blue and white are better.
