Thank the gods that the SDMB is back. Oh dear sweet Homie the Clown how I missed it. Big love to the teeming millions!

You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be misquoted, then used against you.

You know, I haven’t even been here very long, but I felt traumatized. I certainly got a big dose of LBMB & snopes, though…a couple interesting discussions going on at LB.
I’m glad to be back, though!!!

The most difficult aspect of any drug addiction is the withdrawal, and Dope is no exception. Whoa, I feel a relapse coming on…

losing you all for this Week Of Hell has made me realize how little intelligent conversation I have in my actual life. _shudder_
I was beginning to think I’d never get back in, and the thought made my brain jump right out of my head and start to yammer. Whew!

Given that I mostly lurk, I didn’t think the board being down would bother me that much. Wrong!! I kept sitting down at my 'puter to come here, then remebering it was down, and following up with hours of pouting.

Well Lucretia, now that you’re aware of the insidious effects of this board, perhaps you’ll stop lurking and actively join the fun.
BTW, how do you feel about body oil and debauchery? Join us on the Guy Stuff thread perhaps?.. 🙂

I can quit any time I want. That’s right. I just don’t want to right now.
It’s great to hear from the regulars again, and to have a back the board.

It was not like having my arm cut off.
It was worse than that.
Is anyone else having trouble getting into different sites? It seems like the entire WWW is busy today and it’s been that way for the last two days.

It was withdrawal all week. Just knowing it was coming back up is all that kept me sane.

What an awful week! Although, come to think of it, I did get a lot more done at work . . .
