I have been in some freepmail discussions of Registered, who made a semi-technical violation of forum protocol, the AM said he didn't think is was malicious, and banned him for a week. Now he isn't coming back!

I hope he changes his mind. Registered is the closest thing to royalty that FR has...(well, besides all of us that is...)

Bear: The guy in front of me had 6 boxes of cereal. Not all the same, all different... 6 different cereal brands. Plus a couple of Ziploc brand storage boxes and a 6 pack of paper towels. No milk for the cereal. The woman ahead of him had what seemed to be 48 tins of cat food (at least 4 different brands) 3 bags of cat food, a quart bottle of milk, and two small jars of baby food. The woman in front of her was buying a shovel. Who buys a shovel at 12:35 am?

SuziQ: I had groceries and other stuff to buy (it's a Super Center, open 24 hrs.) so we didn't even get back to the condo until 1:25 am.

Um...do you two shop at the same Wal-Mart?

I won't be making the chat tonight...

Alas, neither will I...

Tonite is National Night Out. We're doing a joint neighborhood/pool association thingy at the pool. Since I'm president of both (don't be impressed it's a matter of finding someone gullible enough to do it), I have to be there.

I'm contemplating though staying up and watching it with Corin, Jr. when we get home at 10:00...hmmm...

You probably don't want to leave Smeagol alone on this thread with 17,000 coming up... Smeagol is missing the precious and would like very much to own it again...

Party poopers!

You shouldn't go missing meetings...that's the way association presidents get to be presidents.

Not only school... but I am in the process of learning two languages... this is where the major studying comes in. I have to put in 1/2 hour each night on each language... plus all the other stuff I have to study... time it takes up!

We're Renaissance Men, our lives are multi-dimensional... (Is that heresy?)...

As for the association thing, my term with the neighborhood is up on September 7. I'm debating continuing with the pool but probably will since I'm the first new president in about 10 years and the past president is stepping off the board completely this year. But part of me wants to say "the heck with it" and just by family passes to Water Country (about 45 minutes away).

Smeagol wants the precious... he does... nasty hobbits have held it too long while Smeagol has been preoccupied with other things... But Smeagol is missing his hobbitty friends and wants to play. Please play with poor Smeagol... precious... precious...

Smeagol should learn that the correct Hobbit Hole behavior for sneaking is to not (let anybody know you're really trying to) sneak 70 posts out...

(Drat, I just got called to a meeting...)
