I've always loved this picture.

And ugh, why is the DIS so slow today???

This is interesting....

55% General American English

15% Dixie

15% Yankee

10% Upper Midwestern

0% Midwestern

The Yankee is from my parents, the Dixie is growing up & living in VA, NC, & LA. I have no idea where the upper midwest comes from. Michigan isn't considered that area, is it?

Who is away from their computer & wants to slow us down from 40000?

I just added Dody's milestone to the site & was surprised by what I saw.

The thread started on 11/25/04.
10000 8/2/06
20000 9/4/06
30000 10/1/06

Here it is 10/16 and we just posted 38000!!!

8100 posts in 15 days = 540 posts per day.
15 more days to October x 540 = another 8100 posts so to 46200 by 10/31/06.
30 days in November x 540 = 16200 > 62400 by 11/30/06.
Even stopping on 12/6 for travel for most of us that is another 3240 posts.

Potential of reaching 65640 by cruise time!!!!

You are going to be in such TROUBLLLLLLLLLLLE!

I just found out that 20 members of my family are sailing with me! There will be no civilized conversation for me!

These calculations are based on a linear progression but I'm betting that the posting is going to increase exponentially like it has so far. We could reach 100,000 before we sail!

Best behaviour time!
