I'll try, but the wireless connection on my laptop has a tendency to go in and out so I sign on and off a lot.

Seems like that didn't work. But we should try to talk sometime. :) I have to work now, though.

Hey, the weather sucks here, too. It's snowing quarts.

Ok, I read that as "It's snowing quartz".

That was an interesting mental picture.  I think I need help.

A la, The Village in which Noah refers to large amounts as "quarts." At least that's what I think he means when he says it....

What's the difference between a duck?





One of it's legs are both the same
Frankly, I'm shocked. But, even more frankly, I'm always shocked.

I'm grump because a bacterial infection suddenly broke out in my fish tank. All my betas are starting to die. This really sucks because it is a little bit of work to get multiple betas to peacefully live together in one tank.

I'm also grumpy because I have to park a long ways away from school because the gate for the closest parking lot has malfunctioned.

I'm grumpy because German Hamburger is ignoring the newbie smackdown. We need to call in an expert.

I am grumpy because
a) I forgot my medication, and in about 2 hours that is going to make me despise my life
b) I can't get this laptop to connect to the network.

I just got an email saying that an old friend from college in Illinois was in a car accident and died, as did her oldest stepdaughter. We'd lost touch in about 1996-97, but I guess I always expected to run into her again and catch up. Makes me sad. Apparently it was a horrible car accident.

I have to agree with Fuzzy, all these newbies posting pointless, horribly-written posts makes me grumpy!

Bring in some newbs who can type!
