Heh. Sorry, I just don’t get to say that very often. What’s up? Did they replace the hamsters with rats or something? ---

It comes and it goes. Now is prime time. (I notice the time from 11:30pm-1:30am Mountain time is the quickest it gets for me) In two hours it’ll be slow again. ---

The last time it was this fast was when the East Coast was blacked out. Has something happened somewhere? ---

It’s just that it is _uber_ fast right now. Why I just said to myself “Hmmmm…mebbe I’ll go take a look in the pit and see who’s for dinner” and before I could even touch my mouse the pit opened up before my very eyes! Well…not quite like that, but that’s how it seemed. 😉 ---

**Skybum’s** right, I’m on every night at this time practically and it’s NEVER this quick. Like I said, last time was the blackout. Maybe the Reader decided we were worth or deserved some more hamsters. If so, many thanks. We’ll find out soon enough. ---

That’s Okay **Skeezy** it probably won’t be the last time either 😃 Well, it’s nearly 3am and I gotta get up at 6am, reckon it’s bedtime for me. I hope this isn’t temporary. Kinda hate to leave since it’s actually working. g~nite all An afterthought, maybe locking down so many of those long assed, long winded, hamster killing threads AND the numerous bannings of late has finally taken effect. ---
