I agree - now I'm using my thing and catching up on the posts......

Okay...I still don't get it. Right click on the "Quote" thing and then what??

I opened it in a new window, but then it covers the old window. And I still don't see how that saves your place or helps you nab a milestone.
Be patient with me, I'm blonde, remember?

Did she snort? Those are the best laughs.

No snort but a very big laugh. When I told him we were getting close to 30,000 he told me he was too busy on WOW. Next thing I know he's being a

Open it up in a new window - or if you are using a better browser like FireFox - in a new tab - you can then respond and post - close it - and then go back to where you were....

Hey Mark - WOW question.... how far along are you guys in raiding??? We've attempted Razorgore a few times - wiped.... been doing AQ20 and are at the 3rd boss..... MC and Ony are farming status for us.....

[justmestace]

Virgil, I hope you aren't at work, because if you are...you're probably laughing your butt off by now....and the patients will think you're nuts.

You ARE nuts. You're speaking a foreign language. Or alien.
They took away our spaceship...how rude.

Nope - at home had the day off - watching "Yours Mine and Ours" with Jason, Lauren and Yolanda......

To answer your question further - you can either post in the new window once you open it up - or go back to where you were by clicking on the old one and continuing on......

Man you guys have been busy the last two days. Virgil, I tried your thing when I ran across it catching up on posts and it sure makes things easier responding to certain messages and then going right back to your place. Maybe I will be better about responding to quotes now.

 

[DVCcruise]

Okay, I re-did my math. I think the 30,000th post will be the last post on page 2000, definitely not the first post, but it could be the first post on page 2001. This isn't an exact science you know.

I was right! If only I could've predicted who would get the 30,000th post.

Actually the 'gates' just opened on our server- everyone's been busy doing that lately. I'm in kind of a smallish guild, it's a group of moderators from the other site I'm on. Two of them have been in MC almost non stop to get all the good gear, I got one H60 Druid, H40 Hunter, and a A46 Paladin, and I havn't been in any of the 60 instances yet.

Its more like shorthand, but you have to know all the abbreviations. He's lost even me on a few there. The ones here refer to specific areas to explore called 'instances', kind of like your own private area to explore witha group of adventuerers, I think AQ is the new 'gates' one, MC is Molten Core, don't remember what Ony is.

A Top with Ashley's Swimming

We have been so busy today. Yesterday afternoon, Ashley started a 3 day swim meet. She swam so hard last night and today and I think she is just worn out. She started off last night swimming the 200 back stroke, had a best time and came in 2nd. Then she only had about 10 minutes before jumping back in the water to swim a 200 IM. Unfortunately, her body just didn't have time to recover and she did not swim well on the 200 IM and came in 5th. She added about 10 seconds to her best time. She had about a 30 minute break and then came back and swam the 500 freestyle. This morning we were back at the pool and she started off with the 200 breast (3rd place), 50 back (3rd) 100 Fly 4th or 5th, 50 Breast (3rd) and the 100 Free (didn't stay to see where she finished in that one, but she probably didn't place. Then she swam the backstroke on the relay. We will be back tomorrow when she will start off with the 100 back, 50 Fly, 100 Breast and 50 Free. She is really wiped out tonight. I took her to the mall when she got done today because she wanted to find some shorts. She was a little disappointed that she didn't do better on her times and I wanted to cheer her up. Nothing better than spending mom's money. Then we came home and have done nothing this evening, except me catching up here on this thread. I am so glad she is getting a little break after this meet. They take 2 weeks off before starting to practice for the long course season.

Monica -- that was great to hear about your kids both getting honors in the same month. I know you must be very proud.

Ahn Qiraj (AQ is a 20 and 40 person instance - takes 20 or 40 of us at a time to do)

Ony is Onyxia.... a dragon queen.....

OK - back to cruising..... and chatting

Stacey -- loved the pictures of the snow, was a little shocked when I went to your photobucket account and had an *** staring at me Thought I would bust a gut

Snow in Cave Creek is like snow in El Paso. We have had such a mild winter this year, no rain and no snow. My heater kicked on this morning for the first time in a couple of weeks.

OK - who's been hitting the Banfi?

I have. Since we went out for dinner tonight to celebrate the kids Lisa gave me a bottle of her Banfi.

We went out to lunch at Macaroni Grill today after the swim meet before we went shopping. We went with Ashley's friend and family. They are also going on the cruise. We all started talking about the cruise and what we wanted to do and wear and it really started feeling like the cruise is so close. I have been doing a lot of shopping the last month trying to start getting things in order. I have gotten both of the kids new swim suits, and starting to pick up some shorts and t-shirts for them. Went to Sear's today and found the Land's End water shoes we wanted. They are so nice. I got the guys' shoes on sale for 1/2 off, but not the women's for me and Ashley, they were full price. What a bummer.

 

[BWVPam]

Woo Hoo -- 3 weeks from today, I will be in Walt Disney World

Hubby is wishing he was going with me. Year before last I was at a conference and stayed at Royal Pacific and he got to go. Just not feasible this year and we don't have anyone to stay with the kids. Oh well -- I will just have to go by myself and have a little fun in between the meetings.

The kids are out on Spring Break this week and I am usually off with them, but this year I am having to work. They will be bored before the week is out I am sure.

 

[BWVPam]

If I keep this up, I will get a top on the next page almost all by myself!!

wow! - I'm tired just reading all of that...and to think she's going back to do it again tomorrow - Even though I have an extensive aquatics background - I never swam competitive. Butterfly is my favorite stroke to watch a swimmer who can swim it well - it is beautiful to watch. Especially because there's so much power and strength involved in that stroke.
