The fact is, you can get used to ... and work around ... anything.

Over to that corner, Ook, just let it drape a bit. Oh yes, the twisting is nice.

I just had to issue a continuity alert in the men's room

Let's see, I think we have a bunch of paper plates and plastic sporks inthe storeroom. *Goes downstairs*

I think I am going to work on something to automatically append the &show=99999 so that I don't have to keep adding it Should be interesting.

*grabs a spork, sits back with some tea and cake*

local weather driving me offline, guys -- I'll try to get back shortly.

*returns from rolling up windows of car, turning off delicate machinery etc., to find the party has gone rather quiet, the cake is only half-eaten and everyone looking rather tired*

What now, everybody finding it too hard to press Newer Posts 7 times?

Hi Lil

May I have some coffee?

And the cake looks lovely...

*walks in, looks around*
A party! Great!
The decorations look wonderful!
Can I get a cup of coffee and a piece of that cake?

Well, this is an interesting day. Busy IRL and also exploring the changes here.

*walks in, a little dizzy*

Hi, Lil, Redbeard.

I think I should stay in one place a little while. Mind if I do that here?

Hi, Andromeda.

Lil, could I have a Kona, black, please?

Hi Moniker How're you?

Hi Witty, Hi Andromeda!

I don't know if anyone's noticed this, but after I post in this forum, I can then hit reload and still be at the new page of posts... without having to go through all the clicks. Since I often work with multiple windows, I just remember to keep one window for the cafe and it's easier to keep up. Not sure if this is true in all browsers.

*walks in Cafe*

Hi, everyone! IIEM, something with an outrageous caffeine count, please. Nice decorations, Lil...

Hi Redbeard

(I should just go for the "hi Everyone" approach, shouldn't I!)

*IIEM produces customers' orders while Lil slices cake onto plates and passes it around*

I also discovered I could use my browser back button when in the middle of a reply to quickly review the latest posts, then come back and get the orders right, remember to address all comments etc.

Naw, I like it when you say my name... Oops, I meant

*stumbles in, plonks down on stool next to counter. Waves wearily to all.*

hello

*picks up c(_), takes a sip*

Hi, ox.

Redbeard, I did notice that reload feature. I don't think it was doing it a while ago. That's why I was dizzy.

That one really nice thing about all this is I don't have to unlearn anything. I am such a complete neophyte, I can just start from here.

me too, Witty-I have just enough knowledge to get myself in trouble.

The thing to note, Witty, is if you reload before having posted in that window, it will take you back to the beginning.

So I guess any lurkers out there have to work harder!

Yup, noticed that too, since I was just lurking over at Lil's.
