Don't tempt the gods.:eek: I suspect that he will return, and we will witness a post frenzy never before seen in DBR history.

My kittens have gotten to old, to have those little moments any more :(, but we still have a great time chasing stuff around the place...
Ymo, I refuse to let you be a threadkiller on this, the LTE.
I hear power went out in your neck of the woods today, due to storms -- hope you and the kitty-kids (and the rest of the DBR Boston knitting club) survived okay?
Just helping to keep it going. Will we get an update as to how this thread has CRASHED the next 'best' thing? Kudos to 'longest thread ever.'
No trouble at my place DA. Now, it appears there may be rain north of main today which could impact some guys driving around an oval track. Unseasonably cool today also, only 61 F as I type. Everyonce in a while, I ask myself, "Self, why did you ever move from North Carolina?"

Walter's pretty good for that. I was smiling and thinking back with love about when he finally conquered the stairs. He was especially daunted by outdoor stairs where there's empty space in between. Now none of them bother him. He bounds up stairs with particular gusto, and sort of waddles down them in a way that for some reason looks really funny. He's also good for a hard bump. In fact, I've known him to actively fling himself against walls for excitement. He will also walk through a doorway while focusing on something else entirely, whack his head against the frame, and then continue as if nothing happened. He sure is a funny fellow.
I found another thread today, on a different forum, started on 2-20-2008. So far it has 2937 replies, it is titled "Random Thoughts".
An amazingly similar philosophy, post what's on your mind.
But for having fewer members, I still think LTE is pretty amazing and fun.
In the end, it isn't about the quantity, it is about the quality. Should my posts be graded by the USDA, they would definitely fall in the prime category. :):p:D:rolleyes:
Sidenote: Right after posting the main part, DBR locked up on me. They must have installed a BS detector.
You know what I hate, y'all? I hate B.S. interviews. The kind where they're not really looking for someone because they already know who they're going to hire, but they have to interview 2 other people just for show.
I have one today that I'm 99% confident is total B.S. (called Friday wanting a Monday interview - "Oh, it'll be pretty casual, probably just about 30 minutes!" - which does not make any sense for this type of position) and it has caused great moral struggle. Why exactly am I going? I'm going to spend my time, my lunch hour, my gas for absolutely nothing. And yet on that 1% chance that it's not B.S., I'd be an idiot to call and say, "Shove your interview up your butt" even though that would be much more satisfying.
:mad: :mad:
I certainly understand your frustration. But there is some possibility, perhaps your 1% estimate is close, that the interview leads to a positive result. You knock their socks off and they hire you. Or, if not that job, maybe they have another job that's even better, or maybe you learn something that's helps land a job elsewhere. Is that worth the time and the gas? :confused:
Not really, but I'm pretending that it is so that I feel better. :) Certainly, it's always good to get face time with a ranking officer at a place you may want to work in the future, even if it's just a half hour... so I'm trying to maintain a positive attitude. It's good practice. It's not really that far away. Gas is only $2 a gallon. Oooooooommmm... :D
As much as we are suffering from BB withdrawal, devildeac will also be out of communication. He is enjoying a cruise, but will resume posting next week. Word on the phone with him yesterday is that he has 5 new brews to review.
No BB, now no devildeac. What next?
Cheers,

How about just calling their bluff while you are there blublood?

Is making ethanol from wine efficient? I've heard that producing ethanol from corn is ridiculously inefficient.
