Almost tomorrow?

That reminds me of the old Englishman sitting at the bar in Singapore...it's okay to have a gin and tonic because somewhere in the world, the sun is over the yardarm!

By my clock, it's still about 4 minutes before you pass into the new day.

It was SUPPOSED to be a joke on a friend earlier. I posted it, it WAS on the thread, then a few hours later turned into The Red X.

So.....I emailed my own saved picture (from MY server) to me. And reposted. I just want to see if it happens again.

I don't have any other good excuse. That's my story and I'm sticking with it. Ha!

As far as I'm concerned, it's never "tomorrow" until after I've slept. "Tomorrow" arrived at about 3pm yesterday, if I recall. ;)

Yup, and my darned Indexer will kick on and slow everything down to a snails pace. Some one of these days I am going to have to let it finish the job.

LOL May not be for a long time. I have to hurry and post before it begins.

Well, you picked the perfect testing ground. This is right where I learned to post graphics and make links, late at night. Tonkin taught me to do links right on the thread. It took a bit but I finally got it. I'll keep an eye on it tonight. Good luck.

You slept the day away? Sounds to me like you need to readjust your internal clock...or are you a night owl?

Can you imagine that nobody got hurt? Wow! I must assume it wasn't a Sunday, but still, divine intervention is right.

I sleep very broken hours. The day I slept 'til 3pm I didn't go to bed 'til around 11am. (4 hours is a long stretch of sleep for me anymore! When I get 5, I almost get to feel rested.) ... And yes, I tend to be an owl. I'm more alert at night/overnight, for some reason.
