This is @atechieattempts Tom’s daughter. @GEEQL has a new job as SQL DBA for heaven. We love you all, as did he. Please hold us in your prayers. And tell us Tom stories.

[Tom Roush @GEEQL]

@grrl_geek On the way, Jes. Acupuncture worked on my Dad. Keep us posted. Hugs.

[Tom Roush @GEEQL]

@GFritchey @SQLGene @anotarian Agree with @sqlgene. One can always brush up on the basics. Your efforts in this regard are apppreciated, Grant.

[Tom Roush @GEEQL]

@kseniaanske is that a lot? (I don't have anything to compare it to - am being very honest here)

[Tom Roush @GEEQL]

@kseniaanske Written? I think we're at 189. Backlog? about 150 partially written. Rattling around in my head? Hah! sooo many there. Working on a private one right now - will get that one done, then bounce between editing existing stuff for the book & finishing research for the next one.

[Tom Roush @GEEQL]

@jeffrush @sqlstudent144 he shared! https://t.co/zBxONZwb4y

[Tom Roush @GEEQL]

@wendy_dance :-) cool. Hope he’s a good egg.

[Tom Roush @GEEQL]

@kseniaanske Which story? ;-)
(I hope to be writing again today. Made it home after the weeks adventures. So far all good. Yay :-)

[Tom Roush @GEEQL]

@DanLewisNews Purty!

[Tom Roush @GEEQL]

@KimberlyLTripp @SQLsensei @AaronBertrand @nicharsh @loriedwards @ScottFallen @sentryone Safe travels !

[Tom Roush @GEEQL]

@cathrinew @erinstellato It is? I did? (Blushing) :-) - you’re so welcome. And keep sharing. If you need someone to bounce ideas off of, please know I’d be happy to help, always.

[Tom Roush @GEEQL]

@dbafromthecold Me too

[Tom Roush @GEEQL]

@cathrinew Oh geez I’m glad I read the rest of that, Cathrine! As you can tell from the comments, a lot of us have stories like yours. Yours is told so eloquently, and so well. Thank you so much for sharing it. Like @erinstellato said, at least you have that behind you. :-)

[Tom Roush @GEEQL]

@cathrinew Haven’t even finished reading it - but I’ll bet you’ve already helped more people with this “failure” than with any “success” you might have had in Tennessee. Well done Cathrine, well done.

[Tom Roush @GEEQL]

@kseniaanske Oh, I missed something in that story, but can’t edit it from here. Won’t affect the translation part of it though.

[Tom Roush @GEEQL]

@kseniaanske Wondered who’d catch that. English and German. Dad’s American, mom’s German, grew up in both places. Dad was Air Force, so we moved around a lot. Oh, and not regular German, Swabian German (think German with a southern drawl, explained here’s an example https://t.co/c6C1hNOsIu

[Tom Roush @GEEQL]

@Heather_Poole @KING5Seattle Whew. I do hope it works out. How is your situation going? Been out of the loop for a bit.

[Tom Roush @GEEQL]

@kseniaanske Oh gosh yes. If I were to write in German,(one of my mother tongues) there are words that would require pages to translate the subtle nuances of.So stuff gets written there.Or gets thoughtfully written in the other language Good idea to listen to the story to see what it wants.

@KING5Seattle Has anyone worn these uniforms long enough to see about the health effects like the ones @Heather_Poole ‘s experiencing?
