The movers are coming Tuesday to drag away my furniture to my new home. So it’s time to tear down O’l Gateway Gertie and rebuild her when I have a desk again.

Then I guess it’s a good thing you won’t get yelled at for reading the Dope at work anymore (I’d link to your other thread, but it’s late, I’m tired). You know you can’t stay away for two weeks. And we need your posts! And I was just about to adopt you in some other thread about adopting a Doper (again, no link because I’m supposed to be sleeping). And the rule is, the computer is the first thing that gets connected in a new house!

Have fun moving!

I was offline for 2 weeks once. I’m still trying to catch up.
