Careful. Mentioning the hamsters might cause the 8763rd **TechChick** meltdown. ---

OK, it’s like this. The hamsters that power the SDMB have been snacking on a quote that **Charmian** has been trying to insert into a post. Thought I’d provide a comfy place for some spleen venting to keep the hamsters from being pounded into little hamster patties with a rubber mallet. BTW, the hamsters have eaten more than one post of mine, once ate the entire OP from a thread I started about knitting. ---

The hamsters have sent their evil minions into my work computer. They ate a CAD incident card that should have been assigned to one of our ambulances. D-Con will be deployed at 1800 hrs. ---
