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.

Options:
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).

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 !

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
Kind of sad to see the S3 hole drying up.

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.
