Ed Zotti's announcement re Board down all night Tues

“SDMB offline Tues 10PM-Wed 4AM”

Now’s the time to start making plans for how to fill those SIX hours! :eek:

How do you plan to spend them? Finishing your college degree? Getting acquainted with your children (although they’ll be asleep most of the time). Learning a foreign language? Going to a 24-hour gym and developing a muscle or two? Wake up the dog and take him for a walk to make up for those times you brushed him away while you were finishing up an urgent post? Start your Christmas shopping? The possibilities are endless.

If all Doper pledged to do something worthwhile during those offline hours, hell, we could pump up the GDP, end crime (or increase it… :dubious:), cure some important but not too difficult medical problem (hangnails, maybe?)-- we could spend those six hours **making America great again! **

How will you spend this gift of time?

Have a cocktail or four.

Read email without fear of “reports”

Sorry. hangs head

I could still send you updates on my evening.

Well, if I ever could sleep for six straight hours I might try that. Never happen though. (And if I did I’d probably wet the bed…)

I’ll probably curl up in a dark closet and cry into my booze.

Rock back and forth, scratching the hair out of my head, and praying to the hamsters.

He didn’t mention a timezone.

Reminisce with my husband about the time the place where he works announced that one of its numerous buildings would not have vending machine service for up to an hour.

Checking NOAA for the weather in Georgia and possibly having sex.

What time zone is that for? Chicago? That’s an entire afternoon for me, thru to 7pm. Super. Might do actual work.

Sleep. That’s a bit past my planned bedtime. But I’m near Chicago. With an unreliable internet connection. And used to going to Plan B.

Laying on the F5 like a rat in a Skinner box.

So nice of you both to care. <3

Visit Paris and Rome.

Depending on Ed’s time zone, it looks like it will be 10-am to 4pm Wednesday for me. There’s never much point lugging on during those hours anyway.

I plan to make America great again.

Delete Tapatalk from my phone.

(Ed says it’s an upgrade for mobile devices, so I’m hoping I can finally ditch that piece of crap. Especially now that they’ve started showing ads. That’s why I have a paid membership, so I don’t have to look at those!)

And with the other 5 hours? :wink:
