Using Live Mice...

[John Robinson]

We technicians here in the Free Republic server room experimented with real mice attached to our computers. Unfortunately, not one mouse survived being plugged-in for more than a few minutes. We've reverted back to the hamsters, they're more durable and they know how to dance to the electronic pop music we enjoy.

You should notice a significant improvement in response time.

Go go hamsters.

We're having a break this weekend from "church," as it's the Annual General Conference. No church to go to, but still, talks to watch on TV or computer, or listen to. It's all good.

I haven't seen April's calendar, yet. Is next Sunday Easter? Already? I hope the Easter Bunny can find me...

Don't you dare!!

[stephenjohnbanker]

Just dying to get your mittens on some chocolate marshmallow eggs, eh??

Me too!

You can be IN Vegas, and still not be OF Vegas.
It's my home

Agreed!!!!!!

Just as I live in The Peoples' Soviet of Washington, aka The EvergreeD State -- and even worse than that: King County, originally named for some gay slaveowning politician.

I just want the chocolate. Oh. And maybe some perfume. Or a gift certificate to a spa...yah...I could really enjoy a massage, a hot soak and another massage...(my body hates me today.) Maybe a bottle of Asti Spumante...

[Monkey Face]

Lucky us...we lived in Thurston County. I liked Oly. The climate was just not what my body needed, though, so we left.

[stephenjohnbanker]

At least you have nice scenery : )

Taking a break on Palm Sunday??? Tomorrow is the celebration of the day Jesus broke from "walking apart from Jewry" (John) and re-entered Jerusalem and "Jewry", knowing what was in store for him! The Sunday after is indeed Easter.

[Monkey Face]

Well, you have to realize that that will be covered in tomorrow's talks. We never forget the reason why we have the Conferences in the first place. And some years, we get to have the Conference on Easter weekend. That's when it is REALLY awesome!

Somehow, I KNEW you would give me something special! You're so thoughtful! No wonder your wife and I love you so much!

[RichInOC]

John, why not use lawyers? There are just some things that rodents should never be made to do.

When we can see it through the clouds.

Seriously, it's a wonderful place to be. We just need a few more conservatives to grab it back from the liberal Microsofties and it could be (almost, but not quite) heaven.

[stephenjohnbanker]

: )

[stephenjohnbanker]

My daughter works for the libmicrosofties. But she is Christian, and a conservative.

[Monkey Face]

One of my nieces works there, too, and she is Christian and conservative, as well. She'd better be!

[stephenjohnbanker]

Hey, at least Microlib hires Christian conservatives......might be a statistical aberration tho!

[Monkey Face]

My niece has worked there almost since it's beginning. And that's all I know. Except that Mr. Bill pays well...

[Not A Snowbird]

You like 'em spicy, eh?

And just a little crunchy.
