Hey Emma. How are you, dear Lady? 
Sorry for not saying hi in a long while, but I've been and continue to be extremely busy. My family life these days is so busy with moving to a new apartment. Haven't even had time for ranking calculations.
I am alright. Thank you dear. I can relate to business, yes of course. Oh so you have recently moved? That's a big thing and yet so exciting! Where do yo live if you don't mind my asking?
just waking up here.
I will take a cup of strong coffee.
morning lady emma and the others.
Hola herc. How was your day yesterday? I am having problems sleeping lately. Having all sorts of strange dreams. This happens when I find myself stressed out or when I am a bit unsure about the future outcome.

Well, not yet moved. We have a lot of work to do on the new place. We are about 60% done. Currently paying rent and a mortgage at the same time, hoping to get rid of the rent in the next 2 months. It's pushing us to the limit.

wow - that sounds like a lot, Slasher. But hopefully the new place will be all that worth waiting for. I myself getting a new place next year. Currently renting. It's a piece of Heaven but once I move to my own house, that will be ALL Heaven!

Best of luck, btw!
Gotta log off now as I have two back to back meetings starting at 1pm. Need to finish my coffee too.
Best of luck. The places we call our own are our pieces of Heaven.
rumor mill has this story today:
Rumor: Is Maria Sharapova Pregnant With Grigor Dimitrov’s Baby?
Bulgarian press reported on a rumor that their top tennis player, Grigor Dimitov, and girlfriend Maria Sharapova might be expecting their first child in the near future.
According to Novini, Sharapova checked herself into a LA maternity center last month. The Russian then made a follow-up appointment for a month later.
At this time there’s little to indicate this is nothing more than a rumor.
Sharapova has not played since withdrawing from the US Open with a shoulder injury which has ended her 2013 season.
She has since been vigorously posting Facebook pictures of her training and recovery efforts and her trip to to Europe.
The story also reveals that Dimitrov, who left the Good to Great Academy to work with Roger Rasheed, has moved into Sharapova’s LA home.
The 26-year-old Sharapova and 22-year-old Dimitrov have been dating since the start of the year.
This would be a bad deal for Dimitrov if Sharapova is indeed pregnant. Because Sharapova is near the end of her career and Dimitrov has just started and a baby will be great distraction.
How does that happen though? You should never trust a woman who says she's on the pills especially if she's single and looking to settle things in with the 'right' guy. lol Doesn't matter what she says in her FB. What she has on her mind is more important.
morning emma.
I am having problems with the site today.
I cant seem to get around or post. it is letting me post right now.
it could be the cable company servers.
Morning herc, though I have to leave now as I am online for an hour and half. The forum has some issues other than what you are experiencing right now. For example, even though I was logged on, the members count logged on was 0. So it has a few issues. Would be nice to have a techi among us to sort and improve these things. But at least we can get by for now!
evening lady emma.
I discovered an awesome Arabic song. it is beyond sublime.
check it out. I discovered it by accident. I am pretty sure you will probably know what is the meaning of this song.

good morning sports fans. basel is under way now. it will be interesting to see who bags the trophy there.
and of course paris masters follows. all the top guns will be there. everybody except for andy of course who is working on his comeback.
I sure hope he will be ready to go at the Australian open.

Hi herc, I liked the song but unfortunately I don't know the meaning of it. I learned to read and speak Arabic when I was a little girl but I am out of touch since then so I forgot. Besides it's not my mother tongue. Only know a few words here and there these days. Loved the animal in that video btw. It's really one of my favourites!
Our weather was pretty good all day, herc. I watched the match this morning but after that, I had to cook a few stuff, shower and then took a nap. Woke up, had dinner and now I am here. Very busy week ahead. I have a deadline that I must finish by October 31st.
Basel sounds interesting but I think Paris will be more interesting for ranking purpose. If Nole gets it and gets WTF, and wins his two matches in DC then he has a shot at No. 1. Seems he'll be able defend WTF and his DC matches at least. Got a nice rest in between so should be ready for the upcoming events. Let's see!

I will find the English lyrics to it tomorrow and post it here.
it does sound pretty damn cool. it must have been a global/worldwide hit when it was released.
