No, you are at your place of employment 50-60 hours a week, whether you're actually working is . . . (j/k :P )

There are days when I can be in and out all day. Sadly, today was not one of them. :cry:

So far, I think my job is going to work me to death, well, for a first experience anyways, and doing school too and taking care of my chores and having reading an writing time....I may make a few posts, but probably not very often....I want to though. I regret ever stopping in the other one.

I thought you were teasing me for saying come and play--and you said come and post.....

Never mind.

I have brain damage from excessive coldness. Wind chill, -37 degrees today....ARG.

Sorry.

Ok people, I'm back. Sorry I was gone for so long. Life's been busy...

Anyway, love the new posts in VB 2005! :thumb: Maybe I'll even think up a few posts of my own... /scratches head trying to call on the powers of the great and mighty muse...

Thank you so much! great and mighty Spelling Mistress. It's good to be back! (And I seem to have gone on an insane posting binge in the Margins...but then that's how I do everything: it's either all or nothing...)

There's really nothing better than an insane posting binge...Unless it would be chocolate.

I know...however, imagine how clogged-up the forum would be if you started binge-posting chocolate... :shock:

Heh heh....I don't think it would last long....I think certain choco-holics would slurp it up as fast as it was posted....Not mentioning any names....

However, only so much slurping can be done in the event of a "chocolate tsunami" barreling through the forums at an incredible, deadly speed... :shock:
