no, they will stay: I can tell.

all they need is Puddy, and she’ll be along.

I got mine right away. I’m sure it’s set up as an auto-reply when you register, so I don’t know what the issue might be. I advised checking spam/junk folders, but that wasn’t it. Shrug.

Puddy has been waiting for 4 hours!!. I told her to try again, and if she ends up with 2 accounts, to explain it to a mod and have one deleted.

JRT has that Dell sitting on her lap. Is it wrong that I want it to slide off and crash to the floor? Sorry, I am just so sick of hearing about that damn cat!! :mad:

If you want to use an avatar, sadly, you’ll have to install a [grease monkey script](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=657890). The admins are kind of luddites around here. If you’re confused about it, the guy who created the script can answer your questions! That being said, welcome!

Is Kathy Levine actually going to be on Evine or is she just doing a blog for them? From reading the page that is up it doesn’t say anything about her actually appearing on air.  
Yay another laptop on the Q!! Haven’t seen enough laptops in the last two weeks on the shopping channels.

Not wrong. Although I thought at first you said you wanted _her_ to slide off onto the floor. Also not wrong. Unless she was wearing one of her June Cleaver skirts. :eek: Nobody wants to see _that_

Isn’t that cat like 1000? It’s got to die eventually, right?

Great, thank you! 🙂 I will look into it. I’ve noodled with a GM script or two, I should be able to work it out.

Looks like we all piled in here. Take that, you dictators!  
Puddy may not be paranoid. Do the mods talk to each other (among groups)?  
I hope her delay is just a glitch that gets fixed soon.
