Now that the town down river is back up and running.
I don't know about you but I'm just too busy to spend much time here.
I've got a cold, sinus infection and bronchitis. Ever feel like you've turned into a snot factory?
This too shall pass...had to cancel out patients yesterday.

Even though we've slowed down a lot, our rate of comments is still a bit higher than it was the week before Nauvoo had its technical problems. Of course, that was a slow week, but I guess my point is that we seem to have retained at least some traffic increase.

I'm still here. I had been thinking that I ought to register here for a while, but it took the Nauvoo difficulties to get me to do it. Now that I'm here, I plan to stay.
And you are all enriched by my presence--thanks to me you may have learned a new word and the profanity filter has been refined so that we can now type "saltwater" on this board.
BTW, I just went with the words that were already blocked by the profanity filter. I just changed the replacement words. I could add more words to the profanity filter, but for some reason didn't want to sit down and come up with a slew of profane and vulgar words. And Dilbert, we're glad that you're here.

Let's not focus too much attention on that word. It is a very vulgar word. At least, that is how the dictionary describes it.

"I could add more words to the profanity filter, but for some reason didn't want to sit down and come up with a slew of profane and vulgar words."
I can certainly understand your feelings on this, but surely this is something you could delegate to rayb, isn't it?
"We're glad you've decided to stay dilbert! Maybe I can hide behind you now when Bok gets irritated at me!"
When she gets irritated at you I just tell her, "Don't let Cat Herder bother you. After all, he's just some idiot on the internet." (Please--there's no need to thank me. I've got your back. )
I can certainly understand your feelings on this, but surely this is something you could delegate to rayb, isn't it?Unfortunately, if I delegated it to Ray, he would concentrate on funny replacements, such as "Ru Paul" instead of "Ron Paul", or "loser" instead of "conservative party candidate".

btw, I expect that the "novelty" of Nauvoo will wear off soon, and everyone will be back here where there's so much love that we need a bucket to carry the extra love that like drips out of every leak that we have in our love-leaking-love-carrying... um... ...thing.

So where are my time share KEYS!?!?!? I keep falling asleep on the stoop...
No, actually I wrote "or just buy into a summer vacation time share!" There was no long, extended elipsis within that sentence. I think that explains where your time share keys are. {queue Judy Garland singing} Somewhere Over the Ellipsis"...

BTW, in an effort to try to drag the discussion back to topic kicking and screaming, we had almost 200 posts yesterday. That's almost the max we had while Nauvoo was down. Of course, sometimes it seemed that Ray was most of that 200. Not that I'm complaining.

The day before yesterday we had 240 posts, which I think is probably a record for us. Yesterday seemed slow, but we had 120 posts, which is still pretty good traffic for us.

I confess my intent is to get to 2000 posts before Cat... :) I am hoping I get a new title at that point... I'd also like to get beyond 2007 so I can change the nature of the History Game, from history to science fiction... Muwahahahaha!

Ray, you know that the game doesn't work like that. With your next post, you'll be past 2007. At that point we'll only take the last three digits of your post count.
