Thanks for the warning **GO**. I’m not going to be able to play tonight, unfortunately. I have to get up super early tomorrow, so on the off-chance that I would actually make it to the first break, I’d have already been up too late. But, never fear, I’ll check in on AIM early so you won’t have to go without a shot of **Capn**. ---

More things I love about the SDMB… **asterion** can ask that question. What’s more is that there’s a decent chance somebody actually might be decent at acid-base chemistry. For the record, I know nuttin’ about a-b chemistry. Only thing I even remember about chemistry from high school is that I though a “mole bridge” was a pretty funny name for something so serious as chem. ---

Ok, I logged on today and received another update and then logged on again…Now there is NOTHING on any of the Tournament pages! Went to live help…they told me to log out one more time and then log in again. Logged back on and now EVERYTHING showed up! YAY! Just allow yourself some extra time today to get into our game tonight. I’m gonna go sign up now. ---

You think it’ll be OK to just log on say 15 min. 'til and not log back out? Might be suckish if somebody gets disconnected… ---
