I've started a diet at the request of my doctor. I just had a rice cake for breakfast. It has no taste or appealing properties of any kind. I wonder if I could save money by eating sawdust from my workshop.
Does anybody actually like these rice cakes? Somebody must if they keep selling them.
Not even with flavors added. The saw dust is probably better for you too! 
Useless statistics I calculated while on the conference call from hades....

Now if this conference call gets really really bad, I may figure out the declining rate of posts to the midpoint between the thread start date and trip start date then increase from that point at a corresponding rate to see if the numbers change significantly. And if the call gets worse than that, I may see if the windows on the 6th floor open........ and throw the phone out.
Now what can we take from all this?
Clearly Tom has too much time on his hands
Your DS looks like she is having the time of life!
Sorry about your camera.

As I sit here posting from my office it is clear that some of us have a "serious" problem.
Now when they get to know my name, than I'll be in trouble.Problem? What problem? It's only a problem if the boss catches ya!
I am Disney obsessed though. My dd and I go out on payday Fridays to eat and I told her we would go to the local mall to eat and check out the Disney store! She just looked at me, she wanted to go to Applebees! Most times we don't buy anything but look around. I was thinking that if I can't go to WDW, least I can go to the Disney Store!
Of course, these statistics do not take into account the rapid decline in post count in March and April.
The first post was on January 13.
The 7024th post was on February 1, for an average of ~350 posts/day in January.
The 35,869th post was on March 1, for an average of ~1000 posts/day in February
The 50,510th post was on April 1, for an average of ~475 posts/day in March
The latest post today means we've only had an average of ~200 posts/day in April.
If that rate remains steady and does not experience the half-life effect seen so far, there would be roughly 98,000 more posts by the time we cruise.
(I didn't do exact math -- this was back of envelope calculation).

Admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery.....
