Am I so obsessed with big round numbers that I would ...Coincidentally, that's also how I got my first date... :w00t:
C'mon Barry ya can't just leave this one hanging! Oh wait, you're not saying she was a big round number are ya? 😛
Exactly!
No way Darth, I've seen the movie, can't fool me. You got your first date when your pedophilic girlfriend was running for her life and stopped by the junk shop you were enslaved to. 😛
Heh if you think this is random, you should see his friday afternoon code!

To Thread or not to Thread, that is the question;Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The angst and flames of outrageous posters,
Or to take arms against a sea of Threads,
And by opposing, end them. To die, to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end.
(with apologies to Shakespeare)
There is no question.
Resistance is futile.
You will be Threaded.
Do not go gentle into that good Thread,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

THREAD be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadfull, for, thou art not so...
OLD?
Old age hath yet his honour and his toil;
The Thread closes all: but something ere the end,
Some work of noble note, may yet be done,
Not unbecoming men that strove with OPs

. . . now we're at 3501 and moving on towards 4,000...
Now I know I'm a true geek when I find myself thinking "the heck with 4000. I want to be 4092."

Well, I for one feel old. I'm about to go lie in bed with the laptop and a heating pad on my back. Between that and the snow, it's not a great day here at the ranch.

Expecting 1" to 6" down in our neck of the woods (Fountain Valley) with up to 2' up toward Monument. Also, the storm system is expected to stay through Saturday with clearing on Sunday.
Hey, I got a day off from work, SNOW DAY!!

It broke 60 here in the Peoples Republic. Looking good for camping this weekend (although it's going into the 30's over night). I'll be sleeping comfortably in my Hennessy Hammock[/url] (I have to shove a pad underneath me to stay warm).

Winter's coming early here. It's already nippy enough in the evenings to require a jacket. That doesn't normally happen til May.

No slight meant... 🙂
That being said, I'm 36 in a couple weeks, wondering when middle age will creep up on me.
