Thanks to Pattanas, for being such a good friend, welcoming me and showing me around my first day…
And thanks to Mystique, my Wonder Dog! She did FANTASTIC on the trip over, and has already settled into life here.
AND I DO realize I look like HELL.. LOL It was a weeks long journey, lots of bureaucratic pitfalls, and a few stumbles of my own. But I’ve traveled around the world many times, so I made exceptions, took a few shortcuts, but ultimately WE are HERE!
There will be much more to see, once I start getting around!
I promise to show you things you may NEVER see!

Warning

Almost all the messages that arrive here are garbage! Resist the urge to click on any unexpected or questionable links.

It may happen that e-mail will claim to come from liamon.com, especially from some administrative role or process. These are certainly garbage. There are no accounts to expire. There are no passwords to leak. There aren't administrators sending messages to liamon.com addresses. These are certainly phishing attempts.

Absolutely ignore those links!
