Yes I'm stock rooted. And if I don't get it I'm going back to stock!
Generally speaking, if you take an OTA while rooted you'll lose root (if not something worse). Is there a JB ROM out there you can flash? AOKP or Paranoid Android are good options.

I think I may have to call it the big guns... where in the neck is App Master X.... ?
Ok ok ok. I will be patient. I haven't flashed anything ever, so I will need a bit of help anyway.

Try root keeper. I never tried it. It may be an option.
option two, unroot your phone using the toolkit, take the OTA, then attempt to re-root.
option 3, flash a rom using TWRP to get rid of the nagging.

This is the best advice if you don't want to have to mess with ROMs. Just use the tool-kit to unroot for now, and then after the update root again. Did you use the toolkit to root your S3 in the first place? I can't remember back that far, lol...
Also, if you're rooted stock, most of the time the update will just come normal, but you will lose root (apps like Wallet will stop working). Then it's a simple matter to root your S3 again (root apps will just start working again, usually).

It is pretty *tumbletreb* around here lately.
What's up with you two?
I'd say!
I cooking. Paleo-lasagna... squash are substituted noodles. I only have another week of this and I'm home free!
Also finishing up the last of Xmas... on the sly of course. Building a home gym. Crazy, I know but It will be good for the guys. Mirrors are being installed on Monday so all of my painting must be completely dry by then. Hopefully it will work out!
Other than that, just watching the tumbleweeds roll by !

With Xmas 6 Bdays surrounding it and year end at work. I am a bit taxed for time to say the least... I"ve been lurking, but as of late that is no huge commitment.
Figure I'm stuck in the kitchen all day today, I would drop by for a peek.
Not a whole lot. Just doing some research on the "other platform". In the mean time, I picked up more camera gear (Sony cybershot DSC-RX100) Have not used it yet, the conditions around Denver have not been very photogenic lately

I wouldn't say that just yet. It is still here, It's the holidays and people are just busy is all. Congrats on your camera. I am sure you will make the most of it soon.
Storms are always right around the corner afterall.
Our local Best Buy has the S3 on sale for $50 today and tomorrow. I don't know for which carriers, and if other stores are participating, but might be worth a look!

But I'm just sitting down to lunch. Seriously, been trying to chase down an iPad mini for my dad for Xmas...no dice.
How about a Nexus 7? Or the retina display Nexus 10?
You're lucky I'm in the Christmas spirit right now, so I will forgive you for buying him something that someone else (other than you OR your dad) will continue to own, even after you've paid your own money for it.
Lol. I'm mostly just giving you a hard time. That's really my only gripe with Apple devices. I own a Macbook Pro, and I can put whatever crap/tweaks/tools/utilities/drivers/updates/etc. I want on it. I can even install Windows!! Does it void my warranty? Did Apple try to come out and tell me what I was doing was illegal? NO! I just wish iDevices were the same way as their computers. Let the dang thing really be mine. I paid for it after all.
/rant
Anyways .... Hope you are all having a wonderful day! Sorry to hear yours was not so wonderful so far, mama K. It will only get better.

But AJ said Apple devices were great. Ended up just ordering it from the Apple website.
Mama Lin will be fine after her glass of wine.
