That I have no life…and yes, TV sucks!
Glad to see you all!
< warm fuzzy feeling inside now >
That my job is really, really, really boring without the SDMB to goof off upon.

Agreed. Sigh.

I found out how lame abuzz.com is. The quality of writing there is mediocre, and there’s no guarantee that any answers have been properly researched. One of their sections deals with vehicle repairs, and since my truck has an irritating electrical problem, I thought that might be a good place to ask. But none of the questions posted were answered, so why bother?
I also discovered that my lawn is sporting a bumper crop of crabgrass.
I found out that no one wanted to impersonate me. That half of the passwords are probably ‘chocolate.’
And that PCW who claimed that “I discovered a man…Oooooooo!” Must be dreaming…
What else have I discovered. . .

I found that a lot of my links were to non-existent web pages. I also found that the reasons I stopped visting some boards, were even more evident when I checked in on them.
This site has a great balance for almost anyone that wants come on in.
I’m only your wildest fear, from the corners of your darkest thoughts.
Didn’t make a new discovery, but this thing being inoperative has cost me some serious money in that I was forced to take a 12 year old girl to the mega-mall and leave a considerable sum for some overpriced sleazy rags at Old Navy. I also OK’d and signed for a second ear piercing on the little tyke but vetoed an eyebrow ring.
I discovered that lying down to read is a bad idea…looking at the carpet at eye-level was just plain gross. I had no idea how much I shed. Or, how much my cat sheds. Yech. (So, I vacuumed. Yech.)

I discovered:
that stickdeath.com is entertaining at work when you want to be distracted.
But no substitute for the board.

I contradict myself,
I contain multitudes.

You just now discovered that?!
A bunch of us discovered that snopes updated his message board format to a stripped-down version of UBB – hooray! The folks at snopes discovered that a lot of Dopers head over there when we can’t get the SDMB. 
And some of us discovered that one person who uses both message boards, under several different names, is a real jerk.
I discovered cold fusion, a cure for cancer and a tenth planet on the opposite side of the Sun. I wrote it all down here somewhere, but I can’t be bothered to look for it. I’m too busy “surfin’ the 'dope”.
I discovered the when you sit around and do nothing and it looks like your cock is getting smaller, it’s really your gut getting bigger.
And also that if you introduce your co-workers to stickdeath.com when the SDMB is down, they will love you.
And that if you are a sick twisted bastard, then rotten.com is the place for you.
And oh yeah, that Tom Greene is funny motherfucker, and a lot of people hate him for pissing in their pool of serenity.
That’s about all. Work sux without the SDMB, and I am glad that it’s back up, cuz now I can work normally. Feel free to call me with your computer problems.
Heh.
how did it start? well i don’t know i just feel the craving. i see the flesh and it smells fresh and it’s just there for the taking…
VvvV
I re-discovered sleep.
Is anyone else expecting a significant boom in Doper offspring around mid-November?

I can quit anytime I want to… yeah, right!
I discovered what a difference attending to the chores can make in my life, and the TM Other Message Board, and that if I’m not online I can use the telephone to call my siblings and friends, all of whom thought I’d been abducted and whisked away to Alpha Centuri about a year ago.
I discovered porn.
< making note to call Lexicon’s employer >
HA, just kidding, but when you move into town I might find your car and paint the windshield with:
“Plays on SDMB all day”
< giggle >
Lexicon,
When you get to town, since I will be working right up the street from you, I will hunt down your car and paint on the windshield:
“Straight Dope Addict”
< giggle >
ACCCK, my post from 2 hours ago didn’t show up…either that or I am blind!
BTW, I did discover the message boards on AOL for Libertarians, but didn’t post…found a weekly chat for the same, participated and it was fun to debate in real time.
I cleaned out a lot of files on my computer, and read through the cookies on my hard drive…gads, to think of some of the things I reportedly went to!
Now I just might wipe out the 'puter and start from scratch even though I will be getting a new one in the next week or two.
I should cancel AOL cause I only use it as a springboard to get to here.
Need to search for an ISP.
