    Heed the Golden Guideline: No more than 5 posts from one person per one page of RB. If you feel the need for more, you should be in the chatroom. This isn't really going to be enforced strictly, only if we see someone who's gone way over it repeatedly. So by the time you've gone over it, you should have a nagging feeling that all you're doing is spamming. At that point, it'd be a good idea to count how many posts you've made on a single page and tone it down.

    Brrrr, I just got out of bed and it is really cold in here. Wow, the wind is just howling outside. One of these days I am actually going to have to remember to set the thermostat back up to a reasonable temperature at night.

    Ouuuch. Restoring 5 gigs of stuff from backups is painful... REALLY painful.

    Whatever you do in the morning tends to be painful. Even sleeping. I would surely like to go to bed for more, but at this stage it would only make my head hurt. Luckily, I've escaped that. But it was close.

    I thought this random babbling post wouldn't have that "i'm first" race... fat chance.

    And i restored the backups 13 hours ago, i just woke up and still feel the pain.

    Had to reformat and install win2k. Well, at least it's memory control beats 98SE anytime.

    Win 2K sucks a great deal. I hate it. I also hate Win ME. Both made me return to 98.

    Woo Hoo - four degrees celsius with gusting wind and rain - what fun. Give me snow anyday over this.

    I park at a small parking lot that fits about 30 cars in two rows of 15. There is no gate mechanism, you have to buy a ticket from a machine located near the entrance and display it on the dashboard - or else risk getting ticketed or towed. Given the location of the machine it is impossible to buy a ticket without getting out of the vehicle. Why do so many people insist on stopping their cars in the parking lot driveway, thus blocking everyone else who wants to get in, and then getting out to buy the ticket? Is it really such a hardship to park the car is a spot and walk the short distance back and forth to the machine?

    Alas, weekend is here... And it'll be fun! I'm going with 18 of my friends to a cottage for the whole weekend... woo-hoo!

    My French teacher is evil. He want to make us feel bad because we have a life outside school and we don't spend enough time for his class. To him we should spend about 3-4 hours a day at home plus the classes... I hate him Vade retro Claude!

    Hey, I'm 16th and I'm 16 years old...

    I'm sure there will soon be a pot of homemade chicken soup simmering on my stove, just for extra insurance against the flu.

    And FYI, Splunge, I'd've given up my shot to you (as my ELDER) if I wasn't pregnant. ;) :p
