I also got a lot more work done, I hope they don’t get used to it. [http://204.95.48.199/ubb/wink.gif](http://204.95.48.199/ubb/wink.gif) I dropped into the chatroom to find out what was happening. And to make matters worse, the other board I visit once in a while was slow and downright dull. I read a few books, too. * * * “I thought: opera, how hard can it be? Songs. Pretty girls dancing.

I just missed the dope. Oh and I cheated. I went to that other, hard to navagate, no sense of humor site. ---

I amazed my wife by spending time with her, rather than on the computer. Will I tell her that the board was down? Not on your life!!!

The SDMB monkey was off my back pretty soon. I was able to get over the fact that someone else would be able to post the next cool topic I thought of, “who wants to marry an abusive deadbeat?” ---

Equal parts ritualistic chanting and body painting to appease the SDMB gods. Also, did you guys know they are other “websites” located elsewhere on this “internet” thingy.

I went and posted (along with about a half dozen other refugees) on Opal’s Teeming Millions MB (and got chores done). This is truly mundane, but I just wanna post something - and I can tell I’m not alone. ---

I wept. I cried. I flagellated myself. Then I cleaned my bathroom. And the living room. And baked my daughter’s birthday cake (today is her birthday–she’s three). Mullinator–you lie.

Hey! Happy B-Day Cristi’s daughter! Actually, I didn’t know the board was down at all. Everybody in my family (except for me, of course) was sick with the death plague, so I’ve been busy for the last couple of days, wiping noses, wrestling children into taking their medicine, cleaning up vomit, all of that fun stuff. * * * Shadowfox (New and Improved Version) ---
