Oh, My Freaking God! (Looong!)

Aaah comcast… sync problems every third day and their customer service is non existant.

All I can say Wyatt is register a domain so you can switch ISPs like some people switch clothes and your customers will always be able to find you!

That has helped me cope with hubby’s incessant ISP changing over the years. I think we’ve had every one out there EXCEPT AOL :slight_smile:

{{{{{{{Psalex}}}}}}} Hope whatever it is goes away or gets better!

{{{{{{{miapiace}}}}}}} Be positive! Maybe your next assignment will turn out even better! It is nice when your boss sticks up for you. Regardless, you seem like the kind of woman who will land on her feet! :wink:

Wyatt, AOL? I’m so embarassed. But as a junior acolyte I should be supportive. I do understand that if you’re a rookie at computers, it easy to start there. And if you get “embedded” with an e-mail addy, it’s hard to shake it. Myself, I’ve stayed with the same ISP for five years now. Thru occasional outages, crappy customer service, a switch from cable to DSL (which cost me almost $200. :mad: ) The reason I stuck with them? I have the best e-mail addy ever! Simply my first name - scott@ blah blah. net . (BTW I didn’t post the whole address cuz of possible lurkers, NOT because I don’t trust any of the regulars. :wink:
Rocky” is a spelunker? How appropriate!

Hugs to anyone else who is going thru hard times! Personally, I’m happy as a clam!

Wonders why clams are so happy…

:frowning: I just e-mailed Psalex, and I think I fucked up! (Please pardon my french!) I tried to help her situation, but I think I just made it worse! PLEASE, someone else, shoot her an e-mail and make her feel better! What I sent her can’t help!

if6, not knowing Psalex’s situation, I can’t even begin to think about what to write to lift her spirits. I figure Davebear said it best when he wrote that she could use our prayers and positive thoughts and energy. I share with you and others here, a genuine concern for her and all the other folks involved in a period of “intense inner stuff”, as Wyatt put it. It’s never a fun place to be, but there is almost always some serious growth and realizations that come out of it.

So, if6was9, the point I’m getting to is that, unless you wrote something truly insensitive and lacking in concern, I can’t imagine what you sent would make her situation worse. Based on what I’ve seen you post, I don’t think that’s something you’d do. So, IMHO, don’t sweat it. If you had good intentions, she seems like the kind of person to understand that. And I suspect that if she’s not in a position to check the boards, she probably won’t check email for a couple of days either, so don’t stress out if she doesn’t reply promptly. Email me if you want to discuss it off-board.

I thought that was funny too. :smiley: Truthfully, I’m just getting into it as a hobby, but yep, I crawl around underground! Kinda like Dig-Dug … only the holes are already dug … and there’s no cheesy electronic music (except in my CD player). :smiley:

Well, I’m off! I expect this to be a LOOOOOONG day. Probably something like 8 hours underground and 2-3 hours travel each way! WHEW!! I’ll be flat exhausted when I get home, so I’d say I won’t be back 'round here 'til Sunday.

Wishing peace to all here! Have a great Saturday!
-Dave

mumble about people letting their real lifes interfere with their quality board time!

starts trying the keys on the key ring in the liquor cabnet, one at a time … there’s a LOT of keys here…

Sorry wyatt… looks like it’s just you and I and I can’t drink or go tubbing :frowning:

Rocky’s real name is Dave? Aaaah. They’re everywhere! (I suffer from serious BDE. Bad Dave Experiences. Not with all, just most and yes, our Davebear knows this.) Wyatt, my sweet, bad, pony-tailed, puppy boy in a monk’s robe, you’re not one of those bad Daves are you?
Not that you are a bad Dave, Rocky!! You’re a goodDave, a rare specimen indeed.

Wyatt, Can I borrow your mantra? [sub] PIMF, add, rinse, repeat.[/sub]

It’s cool! About my e-mail, anyways. Psalex did take it the right way, so I didn’t cause any harm.

Not wanting to betray her confidence, let me just say that we should all offer many hugs and prayers for this sweet sweet girl!

Ha Ha! pIyf!!!

TaNookie no problem … we could play cards, instead of tubbing and drinking!
But I Did find which key opens the liquor cabinet, so it’s Open DaveBar for those who wish!

And … nope, nope, nope, though I study goodDaveness like a proper grasshopper, I’m no Dave! … but speaking of Dave experiences, Salem, you’re not the one carrying LateNightTVDave’s newly announced child-to-be, are ya?
Now THAT Would be a badDaveExperience®

Well, if I am, I’ll have to change my name to V. Mary for starters…
But boy think of the ramifications. That would definitely get me on the Jerry Springer show, don’t you think? And since I know you’re such a fan, I could be sure you’d be watching! :smiley:

tanookie, it won’t be long now. Hang in there!

Goodness … you’re a Virgin, Salem???
my MY!!!

:blush: Why, of course Wyatt, I’ve been saving myself for the right man. I have to set a good example for my daughters, you know.

Psalex? Hope you’re ok.

Sheesh! BDEs seem to be running rampant here and IRL for me! I mean, what do all those other Daves think they’re doing, ruining a good name for nice folks like me and D’Bear? I think I’m changing names. Anyone had any Bad Lloyd Experiences? How 'bout Oliver? (no, wait … I’ll probably never get laid again with that one) Hmm … maybe Ozzy? :smiley: Any suggestions?

In case anyone is wondering, I seriously earned the name Rocky yesterday! OMG! There were climbs, crawls, belly-scoots, and careful maneuvering on 60+ foot canyon rims. We saw about 2 miles of cave (out of 28 miles in this particular one). Truly AWESOME! But (whew!) it was a 6 hour serious total body workout! I’m definitely gonna feel that this week. Ouch!

maybe that should read “maneuvering on canyon rims with 60+ foot drops”. Thank heavens I couldn’t see the bottom. :wink:

How about Evad? :smiley:
Sounds incredible, Rocky. Looking down 60’ without benefit of a very solid wall of glass and another 20’ of safety ledge wouldn’t be *my**idea of a good time, but I’m glad you had fun. (Being 5’2", I hate heights. I get nosebleeds in heels. Although, I like tall men. Go figure. Maybe it’s like a penis envy thing.)

Love that coding. I mismatch my earrings sometimes, too.

I like tall men too… it isn’t penis envy… it is ‘can you reach that for me/hang that up’ envy :wink:

(I’m 5’5 in tall shoes and hubby is 6’4)
