It was pretty scary in some places though, if you actually go into the movie knowing that it’s based on an actual family. \*\* Saw it the first time around. Well, actually when it came out on video, and a group of us all wanted an excuse to turn out the lights and hang real tight to our boyfriends :p. Even at 16, I wasn’t a real big slasher movie fan. ---

I occasionally do buy tickets (maybe one every couple of months) but I generally think of the lottery as a tax on people that are bad at math. I’ve never been big on being spanked, I’ve given a few (by request only), but I prefer caresses 🙂 **Maureen** Not a big slasher movie fan? Me either but the worst is the real stuff. I hate real blood and gore. My sister is an O.R. nurse and I made the mistake of asking her “What’s the worst” one time. I had to stop her after less than a minute. I asked her “Why did I ask? I don’t want to know this stuff” She told me “Everyone asks” ---

She’s right. Nobody really wants to know, but everyone asks. :rolleyes: **dannyv** , I read about that. It WAS bad. They’re supposed to close the bridge to foot traffic if the wind is so high the bridge is swaying. But that last guy… did you read that it was his _second_ jump from the top of the bridge? Unreal. Where’s my **Dave**? All of 'em, for that matter??? ---

Well I asked, and you’re right I didn’t want to know. 🙂 But on a more cheerful note I’m about to go shoot the field course. I’ll tell you tomorrow how I did. ---

**Maureen** i didn’t read about that guy. sounds like a Darwin award winnier. apparently the bridge attracts all kinds of people who want their suicide to be dramatic. count me out. if i want drama in my suicide, i’m driving off devil’s slide 😉 ---

Welcome back, **Zen**! Glad you didn’t get into too much trouble over the machines. You left software running? Explain, please? I love learning about this stuff. Now what’s this about caressing? 😉 **Maureen** , good weekend? 😉 My weekends seem to be getting better. 😉 Oooh I’m winkin all over the place here. 😉 Sorry, I’ll clean up after myself. ---

I shot the five stand instead of the field course so I had time to stop back in here. I shot about 75% but I didn’t shoot one of the hard targets. I’m a solid 60% shooter, which allows plenty of those clay pidgins to get away and insure future generations. **Salem** I got in trouble for NOT leaving some software running, or forgetting to restart it more precisely. All persons not interested in tech geek stuff skip down to the spanking part :). We were loading Norton Anti virus on a bunch of process PCs. These machines actually are the interface to the process here where I work (think PCs being used to communicate with PLCs (programmable logic controllers) that run lots of heavy machinery)). One of the machines I had to install NAV on was a data logger. It stores lots of data of various types. Once I got the software installed I kicked of a manual scan of the disks, forgetting that this machine has a huge RAID array (Multiple disks that look like one disk, and have built in redundancy). Well OK it’s not HUGE four years ago it was HUGE 🙂 Anyway the scan was taking so long I went on to other machines and did the install. I forgot to go back to this machine and turn things on. It’s not critical for normal operations, and the only data that was really lost was the alarm log. It’s about 35 meg per day of event logging. Everything else on this machine is also stored somewhere else. I didn’t discover this until first thing this morning, when I came back in. So what do you think my boss wanted to see first thing this morning? Right… So today I worked on a redundant storage device for the alarm logs. I don’t mind the winks all over the place, as long as some of them hit me 🙂 As for the caressing I was mentioning that I greatly preferred it to spanking, but I could be persuaded to do either 🙂 ---

Ah, yes, Confusion certainly is a beautiful state to visit this time of year. Actually, any time of year. I spend a LOT of time just wandering around their parks. I think I may buy a place there and retire early. 😃 ---

Stupid hamsters… **6** , I’d pay more attention to you, sweetie, but you’re usually at that OTHER hot tub, so… **rocky**. A FEMALE Dave? Have you been in Wyatt’s dried frog pills? **Vanilla** , you’re killin’ me, chick! 😛 I haven’t heard that in ages, and I can’t believe it hasn’t been done in this thread. Maybe it has…my long term memory ain’t what it used to be. Makes me want to dig out my Cheech n Chong videos. Could be why my long term memory ain’t what it used to be…:rolleyes: ---
