Boards are dry.
 

This boards are kind of lonely from 7:30 am-2:35 pm. Thats the time I'm in school and I get a reply from no one. Posts never get answered nor do pms. Whats up??:confused:

It's probably that damned work thing. I've never understood that.

Where we are..
 

Most of us work during those hours and don't have access to the Internet (some of us do however, but are too busy to post)

Some of us live in the farther reaches of the planet and are in completely different time zones than yours, so aren't able to check during the time frame that you're here.

Some of us are lurkers, and just don't say a whole lot of anything.

Some of us feel like there's just nothing worth saying.

And some of us have just decided it's better to keep our mouths shut sometimes (but I'm not one of those!)

Welcome to the Cellar, hang loose, don't expect an instant answer (that's what chat rooms are for), and keep an open mind.

We're not that evil...no matter what anyone says :)

Muchas Gracias my friend! I can't access chat rooms from school plus all everyone talks about in there is A/s/l, and sex.

I spend most of my time reading blogs anymore. I find them fascinatingly interesting. I also write my own, although it's a bit out dated. (sortingthoughts.us/blog/ if you'd care to visit.)

Chat rooms can be fun, if I'm in the mood for inane humor, I use them to keep in touch with my BrianR when we're apart and don't want to use our cell phones.

However, most of my time online now, is spent doing research into more things than I ever wanted to know about cancer, chemo and treatments.

Oh, and writing my NaNoWriMo novel.

I'm at work all day, but during my research time I'm on like 15 different web sites at a time. I figure about 88% of the time I don't get anything accomplished or learn anything new - might as well have one more window open to cellar and take 5 minutes to read it.

I get clued in to a lot more information here than many state or federal Web sites too. SPanks!

where do you go to school that you have constant access to a pc?

is that how it is now?

-one foot in the grave
jim

that's what i was thinking...guess if i feel the same at 29 you must be old....;)

Yeah, you guys are dinosaurs. I had my first e-mail account starting in 7th grade ... my 6th grade class was using Internet for a few projects already.

Then AOL, then all the hacking, the federal prosecution, child porn ... it's like a fucking downward spiral.

Should have been a comma after 1973.

They do make Shit computers nowadays the H/P I had before this one now was a heap o'crap, always crashing...

Re: Re Dinosaurs
 

sorry about this:

should have been a period after 1973. the comma should have been after "shit"

what i was doing there was trying to replicate the mental image i got of a "shit computer"..ie a computer that calculates shit.

smart ass remarks never seem to hold up through an explanation of why they were funny to the writer, do they?
