Dear Fellow FF'ers... I miss you muchly. My anonymous WiFi sharing neighbor has continued his/her "abscond-tion" having offered no sign of return and thus leaving me without remedy or recourse. Clearly, stopping by once every four or five days is not going to be sufficient to meet my FF'ing need!
(Abscond-sion? Does anybody else struggle with the "proper" spelling of clearly made up words? I think there's probably something in the "DSM" book about that.)

Hi FF'ers... I'm currently without access to the internets, the Googles and the various and sundry tubes up in there. I shall, however, be surfing from Dunn Bros. on a regular basis. Continue as you were.
My anonymous neighbor from whom I have been anonymously mooching Comcast WiFi (since my unresolved "dust up" with Qwest several months ago) had the audacity... the UNMITIGATED GALL to up and move out! Without so much as a "by your leave, sir" or anything! The nerve of some people!

Hmmm... in retrospect, invoking Brick Tamland quotes (from Anchorman) into the midst of an intensely detailed discussion about object oriented programming languages... probably not useful.
"And now there are five -- five Wall Street behemoths, bigger than they were before the Great Meltdown, paying fatter salaries and bonuses to retain their so-called"talent," and raking in huge profits. The biggest difference between now and last October is these biggies didn't know then that they were too big to fail and the government would bail them out if they got into trouble. Now they do. And like a giant, gawking adolescent who's just discovered he can crash the Lexus convertible his rich dad gave him and the next morning have a new one waiting in his driveway courtesy of a dad who can't say no, the biggies will drive even faster now, taking even bigger risks. What to do? Two ideas are floating around Washington, but only one is supported by the Treasury and the White House. Unfortunately, it's the wrong one."

Amazing how some problems just seem to take care of themselves... just yesterday, for instance, I had a half-dozen mini-cinnamon rolls that I was wondering how to properly store. Today I have no such problem!

BTW - What was the REAL story with you and Tanya Tucker?

A young couple wanted to join the church, but the pastor told them, 'We have a special requirement for new member couples. You must abstain from sex for one month.' #Badjoke
The couple agreed, but after two-and-a-half weeks returned to the Church. The Pastor ushered them into his office, the wife was in tears & the husband was obviously very depressed. 'You are back so soon... Is there a problem?', the pastor inquired.
- Mark Jepsen
'We are terribly ashamed to admit that we did not manage to abstain from Sex for the required month.', the young man replied sadly. > > The pastor asked him what happened. Well, the first week was difficult... However, we managed to abstain through sheer willpower.' 'The second week was terrible, but with the use of prayer, we managed to abstain.'
- Mark Jepsen
'However, the third week was unbearable.We tried cold showers, prayer, reading from the Bible... Anything to keep our minds off carnal thoughts.' One afternoon my wife reached for a can of paint and dropped it. When she bent over to pick it up, I was overcome with lust and I just had my way wit her right then and there. It was lustful, loud, passionate sex. It lasted for over an hour and when we were done we were both drenched in sweat.' admitted the man,shamefacedly.

The pastor lowered his head and said sternly, 'You understand this means you will not be welcome in our church.' 'We know.' said the young man, hanging his head, 'We're not welcome at Home Depot either.'

I've tried to post a reply 3x and each time I get the "Oops, there's a problem" message. I do a full page refresh without a problem. Just can't seem to comment.
I always just open the timestamp on the item. Comments usually post with no problems that way.

Who's actually *USING* Google Wave regularly? I'm not getting much activity with my account, though admittedly I'm not connected with very many people. Just wondering if anyone is using it extensively?
I do really like it but I don't find my peeps hanging out very often if you know what I mean. I would be using it more if my colleagues could be in there with me :D
- Holly Rae, FFer
I'm waiting for an account. :( I can't wait to test it and see how extensively I'll use it! ;)
- Lorie Mitchell
Lorie, I got an invite without ability to invite. :(
- Holly Rae, FFer
I like it, but I'm having difficulty finding the time to really engage others on Wave. Lately, I have 136 high school students who are demanding a lot of my time.

I think we need a project that has some relevance in a way that compels us to really use it and immerse.
- Holly Rae, FFer
I'm trying to get a project team to use it for collaboration, then we can assess if it's something to rollout company-wide when its done.

Nothing quite like watching the TPT (Twin Cities Public Television) pledge drive to fill a Saturday eve... they're interviewing Red Green via crappy Skype video feed right now.
Well, that's true, but at the beginning they had a "broken" cable connection, so they had to plug the RED cable and the GREEN cable together to get it working! (Not sure if they used duct tape to keep it snug, tho'.)

There's only one thing more pathetic than the Saturday evening line up on network TV... and that's the fact that I even KNOW the Saturday evening TV line up on network TV!
Shitty SyFy Saturday movies......just saying.

I'd consider that if I could find any!

Enfant Provocateur -- "Enfant Provocateur likes to stir up trouble because...because, well...just because. This species of Flame Warrior is almost always young and male - it could be just a hormone thing." - http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed...
Hmmm... this reminds me of someone here on FF, but I can't quite put my finger on who it could be...

I just looked through the other "Flame Warrior" types... thankfully I'm nothing like any of them! ;oP

I've been waiting with anticipation (for several weeks) for my new eyeglasses to arrive. Today was supposed to be the day, but they now tell me there was a "breakage" in the lab and I have to wait a couple more weeks. I'm not happy with their service, but after this much time it's even more of a pain to get my money refunded and go somewhere else.
