[Carrie]

I hate a lot of things more than being burnt

[Carrie]

Like biting my toung

[Carrie]

or my cheek

[Carrie]

I wonder how many days straight I would have to sit here and post to hit 10,000 more posts.

[Carrie]

I am betting a month

[Carrie]

I am so bored

[Carrie]

Bird works 3rd shift now and that leaves me home all alone

Bird works 3rd shift now and that leaves me home all alone

[Carrie]

crap my lip hurts

[Carrie]

Ok so I decided that I dislike Wisdom teeth coming in more than being burnt.

[Carrie]

Of course, if I had burn something other than my lip I probably wouldn't be saying that...Like my nipple or something...

[Carrie]

that would suck way worse

[Carrie]

well now I just hit 10,600

er 10,6001 because I didn't notice till I already posted the last one

[riscy]

Welcome to the March, Carrie - great to see you posting here

[riscy]

Now we just need to have Thumper, MM, comrvf and you here all at the same time for a chat

[riscy]

There is no danger of me catching you in the posting stakes - maybe in about 5 years from now !

[riscy]

Unfortunately myspace is blocked here so I can't check out your site :(

[mathmission]

Hopefully I'll be around a little more today! :kitty:

[riscy]

Hi MM

[riscy]

Might catch you in a few hours if you are still around

[mathmission]

Hey!

[mathmission]

Yeah, I'll try to be around. I'm not really up to much, just trying to hit up all the stuff that I've been missing over the past few days. I haven't really been on, and when I am, it's usually just to post a quick hello, so I have a lot of reading to do to catch up, and a lot of paroozing to see what's new here!

[mathmission]

But who knows where I'll be! Just in case I'm gone when you leave, I hope that you have the best of times on your vacation Riscy!

[riscy]

Don't worry, MM - I am online here until the 25th - so another few days, and I will be going for lots of posts.

[riscy]

I have to try to get near to Thumper as he will be posting like crazy when I am gone - I know what he is like!

[mathmission]

Haha, Indeed

[mathmission]

Headed out to lunch here in about 20 minutes!

[mathmission]

And a good thing too, I'm starving!

[riscy]

Hope you had a good lunch, MM

[riscy]

I am struggling to stay awake - I have posted in some threads which were inactive, in the hope of bringing them back to life.

[mathmission]

Cool cool. I'm just popping in and out, it seems.

[riscy]

Might as well post a few quick ones here

[riscy]

I am officially onholiday now and I am trying to unwind a bit

[riscy]

But I have quite a bit of travelling to do before i can rest properly

[riscy]

But it will be worth it

[riscy]

I hope this is going to be a good holiday

[riscy]

As it has been a tough year

[riscy]

in many ways

[riscy]

Well, I have to go

[riscy]

Will be back here later tonight or tomorrow

[mathmission]

Dang, I keep missing you!

[mathmission]

Guess it's just the time thing.

[mathmission]

Well, I hope to catch you before you head off in a few days!

[mathmission]

Not much going on here at the moment. Just got to work and it's pretty quiet so far.

[riscy]

Back again, MM

[riscy]

Are you still around?

[riscy]

Not much happening here - going to watch a movie I think tonight

[riscy]

I am contenmplating whether to go out tonight or not - but I think I will just chill at home

[riscy]

Looks like I missed you again

[riscy]

Hopefully I will catch you online later

[riscy]

Is your yahoo messenger client running cos it is not showing up here if it is?

[mathmission]

Hah, see, back and forth

[mathmission]

I stopped to read some news, and I'm back

[mathmission]

Is your yahoo messenger client running cos it is not showing up here if it is?
Nope, while at work, I don't have any of my chats working. I have to wait until I get home.

[mathmission]

I mean, I have my g-mail open and use the chat with it.

[mathmission]

dang, missed you again

[riscy]

I don't have your address for gmail - I often use that chat feature here

[riscy]

I will PM you my gmail address

[riscy]

^^ Done

[mathmission]

I've sent mine

[mathmission]

Yeah, I use it because it makes it look like I'm working on something

[riscy]

Added you in

[riscy]

But we can still chat here to add to posts :)

[mathmission]

Indeed

[mathmission]

Multi tasking this morning!

[mathmission]

just sitting around reading news from around.

[ThumperZ1]

Honey, I'm Home!!

[ThumperZ1]

I didnt' get to post at all yesterday.

[ThumperZ1]

Between going to clients and the Toto concert, I was gone all day and didnt' get home til midnight.

[ThumperZ1]

Toto was in concert at the Prairie Meadows Casino and Racetrack, next to Adventureland near Des Moines.

[ThumperZ1]

Carrie, My neice and her husband and kids live in the same town as you!!

[ThumperZ1]

Nice myspace page... However, I'm leary of making one, since The Government is now mining myspace and other social pages.

[ThumperZ1]

I'm getting quite paranoid in my old age with this administration.

[ThumperZ1]

Lay Lady Lay - Bob Dylan

[ThumperZ1]

Gimme Shelter - Grand Funk Railroad

[Potato]

The last time I was in Iowa, I counted roadkill.

[ThumperZ1]

Yesterday I twisted my knee somewhat again... ouch..

[ThumperZ1]

And on my 3 hour drive home from the concert... my battery light kept flashing off and on. AAARRRGGGHHHH!

[ThumperZ1]

Fortunately we made it back to town ok.

[ThumperZ1]

I Wouldn't Want to Be Like You - Alan Parsons Project

[ThumperZ1]

It was good to see Carrie and comrvf posting today...and Howdy Potato

[Potato]

Hello!

*waves*

[ThumperZ1]

I saw 4 critters dead on the drive home from the concert, and almost made it five, when a grey fox ran out in front of the car.

[ThumperZ1]

Betty's Bein' Bad - Sawyer Brown

[Potato]

I ran over a dead bunny yesterday.

[ThumperZ1]

What you up to Potato?

[Potato]

Pressing F5 a lot.

[ThumperZ1]

Well, at least he was already dead.

[Potato]

I ran over two that weren't dead... til... uh... I ran 'em over.

[ThumperZ1]

Pressing F5 a lot.

:utccow:

[ThumperZ1]

The Grass Roots - Midnight Confessions

[ThumperZ1]

Beware Of The Bunny Slayer!!!

[Potato]

I'm bored, gimme a break.

[ThumperZ1]

Boredom helps make your post count go up on the march to a million posts. :daman:

[ThumperZ1]

Snowblind Friend - Steppenwolf

[Potato]

From 25 to 33 in a day... that's progress for me.

[ThumperZ1]

Where in Minnesota are you from, Potato? I lived in Egan for a couple of years back in the early 80's.

[ThumperZ1]

That is good...sometimes, riscy, mathmission and I will be so bored that we'll post a hundred or more a day.

[Potato]

Eagan? Uhm. Wow.

I'm from Apple Valley. Just south of St. Paul... but if you lived in Eagan, you know where AV is.

[ThumperZ1]

mathmission holds the record, I think with 300 consecutive posts..

[ThumperZ1]

Yes, I know where Apple Valley is. I did my banking there. It's been 24 years since I was there.. I'll bet it has changed a bunch.

[ThumperZ1]

Eagan had cornfields to the south and west of it, and the freeway was just being worked on.

[ThumperZ1]

I went to a Twins game in the old Met stadium. The next year, the tore it down to build the Hump Dome.

[ThumperZ1]

They replaced the old one lane bridge that went from Egan to Bloomington the first year I was there.

[Potato]

A lot has changed in the last FIVE years, let alone 24.

My house was bulit in the early 80s. It's in one of the older neighborhoods around here.

If you ever came back, you probably wouldn't recognize it.

[Potato]

They're buildling a new stadium.... they say it should be done in 2009. No more dome, apparently.

[ThumperZ1]

:partydanc :dance: Joe Satriani - Big Bad Moon :urock: :urock:

[ThumperZ1]

So where are they building the new Stadium at? by the dome?

[Potato]

I do believe it's lunchtime.

post-whoring will continue after a short break.

[Potato]

So where are they building the new Stadium at? by the dome?
Somewhere downtown. The Gophers are getting a stadium too... thanks to the kind taxpayers of .... either Hennepin County or just Mpls. I dunno really.

[ThumperZ1]

So I've never seen the Mall Of America... or anything up that way.

[ThumperZ1]

thanks to the kind taxpayers of .... either Hennepin County or just Mpls

I'll bet that's tweaking some folks!! :rant2:

[Potato]

You're not missing much. Parking there isn't terrible, get getting in and out is a pain in the ass. They put an IKEA in too, and getting there sucks too... so you've got all these out-of-towners pulling shit like turning out of the wrong lane all the time and cutting you off. I hate going down in that area on weekends, or holidays, or anytime when other people are there.

[ThumperZ1]

Potato, I've got to head to lunch.. perhaps I will catch you later. :hi:

[Potato]

I'll bet that's tweaking some folks!! :rant2:
Ya, Gov. Pawlenty was like *whammo* New stadiums! The people don't want higher taxes? What? Oh that sucks. Oh well!

[riscy]

Hope you enjoyed the concert, ThumperBetween going to clients and the Toto concert, I was gone all day and didnt' get home til midnight.

[mathmission]

Mathmission returns!

[mathmission]

It's raining out, and it's about time!

[mathmission]

Thumper, what do you mean their doing data mining on myspace. Of course, I'm sure they could get a lot of information, but do explain

[mathmission]

Nothing much going on with me here, just sitting around, taking a break from work. Might go and add on to the writing project that I started a little bit ago. Have to keep going. I know Thumper wants to read my masterpiece when it's done!

[mathmission]

And yes, it was 300 in a row, that's the new record!

[mathmission]

That certainly got the time go to by, seeing if I could do that many in a row without being inturrupted. Of course, it seemed to be a rather slow day.

[mathmission]

Trivia time!

Well, I've got quite a few more posts in today just by doing the daily trivia

[mathmission]

[mathmission]

I kid, I kid, :urock:

[mathmission]

But that's ok, I haven't been around to post much as of late. I do sit here at UTC almost the entire day, but never really get a chance to spend some quality time in the threads. I might as well get some posting in now while I can.

[mathmission]

New Scientist has discovered that Pentagon's National Security Agency, which specialises in eavesdropping and code-breaking, is funding research into the mass harvesting of the information that people post about themselves on social networks. And it could harness advances in internet technology - specifically the forthcoming "semantic web" championed by the web standards organisation W3C - to combine data from social networking websites with details such as banking, retail and property records, allowing the NSA to build extensive, all-embracing personal profiles of individuals.

[riscy]

You are talking about me :) It would be just like hime to post the first one on page 800, after I've posted 37 posts in a row...

[riscy]

Now that's a good idea Thumprer - page 800

[riscy]

Let's see how many posts that takes

[riscy]

I am only here for an hour or so now and then will be back here later on

[riscy]

I'm not sure how many posts there are on each page

[riscy]

But I have to get through all of 799 first

[riscy]

So, I'm out for brunch at midday with some friends

[riscy]

Also noticed Thumper that post # 12,000 is coming up soon :)

[riscy]

Can I get a double whammy??

[riscy]

Now that would be cool

[riscy]

30 more to go - that's not many

[riscy]

Woo hoo - almost there, just get through this page

[riscy]

and Thumper will be really annoyed at me :)

[riscy]

Well, if he sleeps, what does he expect?

[riscy]

I am very weary today - sat up late last night watching a movie

[riscy]

Actually fell asleep and missed the last 20 mins - watched it this morning

[riscy]

Well, the posts are flowing rapidly here

[riscy]

23 to go to reach 12,000

[riscy]

Now if I was kind I would get near and then leave it for Thumper

[riscy]

But I'm not, so I won't

[riscy]

In the home stretch now

[riscy]

The last few posts always go fast

[riscy]

Very quiet here today - it's the weekend

[riscy]

It is actually enjoyable to drive on the roads today

[riscy]

Normally it is just plain crazy

[riscy]

Into the teens now

[riscy]

Well, I will stop when I make both special numbers

[riscy]

Not sure if they will come separately or together

[riscy]

Well that answers my question I suppose - Page 800

[riscy]

Now ten to go for the next #

[riscy]

well, this must be my lucky day

[riscy]

thanks for pointing it out to me Thumper - I will return the favour sometime

[riscy]

Nearly there now

[riscy]

7 more

[riscy]

I am really hungry now so I better go get ready

[riscy]

It is hungry work getting special numbers :)

3 more

[riscy]

Penultimate one
