Your computer has a ghost, TIS.

It's working OK now??

That's pretty weird!

Yes, it's fine now. Could I have accidently done something??? I kept getting those old posts everytime I went to the General screen. I'd browse other sites, come back and the main screen was fine, but when I clicked "general" there it was again. Guess it's just me.

Ghost in a machine?

Glad it's fixed whatever the hell I did.

TIS

You got "gina'd". The Twilight Zone is now doing an episode about the Cali computer that came alive.

Uh oh.... I wonder if something is wrong with the system. Just as I was posting that last reply, I got a message that the "Submit button was already pressed" (but it wasn't, and the message went through OK).

Ah ha!! That'll teach ya to tease me. Seriousl, I don't want to say that I hope something is wrong, cause I really don't. However, it seems I always have these bullshit piddly issues and I want others to join in the fun.

I agree! It's fun to read everyone's responses...

I laughed a lot at SB's, especially about her shopping adventure and the f'ing client.

SC, you jinxed yourself teasing TIS about getting gina'd...but I still have to think that'd make a good episode for TZ. I remember one I saw a long while back about a slot machine that took a life of its own, so a computer wouldn't be far off. TIS, maybe you could do your own acting to tell the story? We just have to think up Rod's narrative.

Since we are teasing....SB, I wish you could "hear" the way I am saying this to know I am joking around. I figure if you don't mind being teased about not having any food on a plate touching any other food, you'll laugh here. Maybe after the f-ing day you've had, it'll give you a chuckle.


Magenta??? I mean everyone else has Red, Blue, Green, etc. but Magenta? That's what a call a "foo-foo" color.

Gina,

I saw that slot machine episode of TW. It would be fun to think of off wall story lines of TZ wouldn't it?

TIS

Oh, definitely Magenta. It was always the color I picked in the Crayola box as my favorite, and it still is. Plus, it sets off my olive skin and naturally (well, it was at one time) dark curly hair.

Anything's possible in...the Twilight Zone!! Bah-dah-dah-dumm...

SB! You're a night owl!!
