We finally got our new computer hooked up! We have a zip drive and a CD rewriteable and a sound card and everything! That may not seem like much to some of you, but our old 'puter was pathetic. It was old and in disrepair; we had no sound, many links were unaccessable, or only accessable after five or ten minutes of loading, links didn’t change color when clicked on, and the modem was so slow, it got to the point where it would have been faster to carve a message on a stone tablet and throw it across the ocean, like in B.C.. It would take at least sixty seconds for each page to load; more if it was a “Reply” page, and the tower would make these grinding noises like there was an elf sitting in there eating potato chips.
There were manny manny topics I wanted to reply to, but so often, I declined to, because I just didn’t have the time to wait for the Reply page to load, then wait for the reply to go through, then backtrack to the previous message and pick up where I left off. (I read chronologically, regardless of topic.) But now I am in the zone, and I am going to make my voice HEARD!

This will be post 482, I believe. Jeez, you don’t know how out of the loop I felt, watching you guys celebrate all your post milestones! I was like the one kid in the class who doesn’t have cable. Funny thing, I noticed when I was getting close to 420, and I meant to start a thread titled “My Dope Post”, but I forgot. Anyway, 1K here I come!

No, I’ve been referring to floods, famine, devastation, the rapture, planes falling out of the sky, dams bursting, cows losing milk, and the New Kids on the Block making a comeback.
I’ve been promised disasters, and I want them! What else will give me the motivation to eat my 789 cans of Spam®?
