I had to explain the difference between star wars and star trek too many times at work...

It's awful. I'm the kind of person who will make the joke anyway, because I hate to waste it, even if I'm the only one who gets it, but that tends to alienate others and make them think I'm weird.

I know, right? I want to go to a place where I can tell ANYONE, "Shut up, Wesley!" and no offense will be taken.
How long are we leaving our Christmas up?

Until one of us remembers when to take it down, I reckon. That's the trouble with having Ents for admins, things like this may take a while.

Not really. Is it really that important to split threads nowadays when nothing but tumbleweeds and all of maybe four or five mooters post in a week, and that's when it is busy...? What bandwidth are we preserving when it is bots and slurp spiders that are the ones eating up the bandwidth?

You can do the honours, Val, I just had to go chasing all over Entmoot because Treebeard refused to return the Santa-hat and Christmas lights. Besides I did the last one, like three years ago, wouldn't want anyone to think I'm hogging all the new threads. Quote:

If they've been banished, all the more reason to keep this Teacup up. No point in splitting.

*Whew* Big events for us the next few days. We finally close the sale of our house in Chicago on Friday. Then on next Wednesday, we close on the purchase of a house here in Wyoming. We'll spend the rest of February moving in to the house we're buying.
The house in Chicago is the first one we ever bought, and we were there 20 years. Had all our kids while we lived there, and it was the only home they ever knew until we moved here. So it's somewhat emotional to part with it. Especially for my wife. We poured ourselves into it. But these next few days, and the next month, will sort of finalize our transition out here.

Oh, that IS a big change. Good luck and may the new house give you just as many happy memories as the old one.

I remember us moving from the place where I had lived from the age of 4 till the age of 22. Emotional.
Best of luck in your new home!

Thanks! The hardest part may have been in August - when we left Chicago and moved out here. This sale just completed the departure from Chicago. Cut the last of our ties - other than the friendships.
We moved into a rental until we could sell there - and now we're ready to buy out here. We close on the purchase this coming Wednesday - Feb 3.

Too early for me for whiskey..*picks tumbleweeds out of eyes and nose that Sane shooed and sneezes* and with the same wanton carelessness throws it blindly over left shoulder (without looking )...
A pot of Coffee and a bacon and mushroom bap for me! Goodluck with the move Val!! ... although when you have a mo, perhaps you'd give the quote game a look, before Midge pulls her hair out..she's a bad tolkenite you know |

Yay! It's holiday time!
Nay! It's grading time! ... Guess I'll join you in the alcohol drinking. Perhaps if I drink enough the gnomes will come do my grading for me.
