Refreshed 10/2/2004

This was a funny thread. It seemed appropriate to refresh it, since we're all suffering withdrawals. It's pretty much still relevant, and I'm sure lots more can be added after all the hours we were down....and will be down again tonight.

I learned that Cheeta Chat is basically dead, so I had to look for another chat client to replace it that would allow me to be in the chat room without being yahoo'd.

I think I found one but I need to try it with a full room.

I spent time doing e-mails and deleting 1000's of spam.

Too bad they didn't do the upgrade last weekend when I was in Tunica with my sister and her family for a Taekwondo tournament. ;-`)

For what it is worth, this didn't work either. I have kept above bookmarked from previous outages. Also, can get updates in Yahoo clubs - http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/freerepublic

the purpose of my "special purpose"

[ladyinred]

I went to the WWW and caught up on several months of what has happened on East Enders, the Brit soap I got hooked on that was dropped by BBC America! Great diversion kinda like the war in Iraq donchaknow? :-)
I also played with my new puppy, a Bichon named Misty!

[Sapper26]

You know. I'd been trying to get this girl to go out with me for about 5 months. She finally agreed and we went to a pig roast, too. Maybe I saw you there. (My date was also a disaster).

[sweetliberty]

LOL!

I discovered under the dirty dishes, there was a nice kitchen counter. I also discovered I RULE on the family computer games.

This thread is doing some weird things, for one , picking random posters when "Post Reply" is clicked on and listing every reply in the "So and so wrote:" box. Probably upgrade related, so just an FYI.

[Cronos]

I discovered I actually miss arguing with Havoc!

[John Robinson]

I call shenanigans!

[Fintan]

In no particular order I:

• Split the atom.
• Actually did some paper work for my job. (This may have been the most horrific).
• Looked in my Personal Toolbar Folder and was amazed to find that there are other websites on the internet.
• Chased local high school hooligans from my backyard by telling them that if they ever set foot on my property uninvited again, they had two choices: (a) mow the lawn or, failing that, (b) outrun buckshot.
• Climbed up on my roof and counted the shingles.
• Alphabetized my sock drawer.
• Settled the NHL strike.
• Actually looked for a four-leaf clover. Didn't find one. Got eaten alive by insects instead.
• Oprah or Dr. Phil??? Oprah or Dr. Phil? Hmmm....decisions, decisions.
• Actually made a meal instead of having cheese steaks delivered.
• Did you guys know I had a basement?
• Put a stamp on a letter for the first time in 5 years.

My Home Page wouldn't load!

[The Mayor]

I found out that I can review the local news online in 5 minutes.

Then I finished fixing my car.....

Climbed up on my roof and counted the shingles.

How many were still good : ) I do alot of roofing..

[N. Theknow]

Well, what discoveries did I make while FR was down...

Let me tell you....

That door which I was supposed to stay away from and not open...

Well, one day I was home alone and I got up my courage to just open the door a little bit...

WAS I SURPRISED!

On the other side of the door was things I had not seen in my 6 years of FReeping!

There were birds flying around, trees, grass, sunshine, fresh air...

"Did you guys know I had a basement?"

I think the question is, did YOU know you had a basement? LOL!
