I did take it off, but I fear I must be beginning to fade. I feel like a glass of clear water.

Well, you know what they say...

Three Threads for Ladies' Guilds and their pies,
Seven for the religious threads, casting stones
Nine Threads for cheesy topics that won't die
One for the Hobbits, chatting alone
One Thread to ping us all, One Thread to occupy us,
One thread to enlighten us all and clutter up the real news page.

Or something like that, anyway!

Very good!

I asked Palo Verde what they intend to do with theirs.

If anyone visits Torn, don't read the latest Ian McKellan thing....just don't. I wish I hadn't.

Hi - I saw that you came and went from the chat room... I am lurking there but it was hidden behind all my other stuff!

LOL, yeah I know, but I have to draw the line somewhere! At least if they call me on the carpet for this (which I'm trying to mostly limit to my lunch hour, btw), I can say, "yeah, but at least I don't "chat". ;)

Well, the part I don't like about it is, I'll always be remembering that whenever I see that scene...ick

Just an FYI, I just read a service announcement on the Yahoogroups main page:

Service Announcement

Groups will be down for scheduled maintenance Friday Mar 15 9PM PST (GMT-8). We expect to restore service the morning of Sunday Mar 17.

Do we need to look for an alternative chatroom for the weekend? I don't know if we'll be able to find one that's Mac-compatible, but we can try. Normally, I use MSN for an alternate room, but it doesn't do Macs. Any ideas?

What about the FR chatroom? If FR is not down, it's usually empty.

LOL, no kidding...

Just as an example, someone once made a really nasty comparison between Saruman and GW Bush in one scene, and I have yet to get through the scene without remembering that comment. Not only does stuff like that make me mad, but I hate the fact that it brings me out of the "movie experience" for that moment in time.

And, Overtaxed, I think that just means I need to keep seeing the movie over and over again until I can erase those comments from my mind. ;)

hehehehe

We could try that, but since it's Yahoo too there's always the outside chance that it'll be affected by the same maintenance. Still, that's a good idea...we could plan on that.

I would just hang here... it is too hard to get everyone in to new places.

Now you know why I couldn't tell you who was at the SAG and with whom/what. I didn't look. If I didn't see it, I wouldn't have to erase it! :))
