October 20th 2007 Western Magic Part 7

[JLDSMD]

We are also closing in on page #2000--that's exciting as well.

Victoria, let me fill you in on a little secret. There are 15 posts to a page. 30,000 posts is 2,000 pages.

It is also about 9,550 PI's.

 

[JLDSMD]

Since you are still playing the FO game.

Jeff, sometimes you are such an accountant!

 

[JLDSMD]

awesome info - thanks

Glad I could help.

Any other questions, throw them up hear. Someone should know the answers.

 

[JLDSMD]

Jeff, sometimes you are such an accountant!

Guilty as charged.

We're only about 60 posts away. We can get that done in an hour. Heck, even with the 40 second rule, you could do 60 in an hour yourself.

But do you really want to listen to me mutter to myself for 60 posts?? (I mean 59 cuz you will swoop in for the last one!!)

 

[JLDSMD]

well they will happen together right - posting number 30,000 will happen at the end of page 2000!!

You are correct!

Sorry for repeating your answer. I didn't read far enough down.

The wine slows down the brain cells.

Brenda--I just found the most gorgeous avatar of R-Fed, but am too dumb to figure out how to use it.

 

[Wine Diva]

Getting close now--the errands I need to run will have to wait.

 

[JLDSMD]

I just went through all of the navigators from the Septemebr cruise - does anyone think it will change much between now and then - or do they stay the same for the most part

With them just coming back to the States and only a few sailing before we go, I would guess it will be the same for a while. You may see a few tweaks, but nothing major.

Except the fact that we'll be doing a Modified Eastern instead of a Western - sorry Cass and Mike/Robin, just had to throw that one in there.

You wouldn't be the first.

Jeff:

What do you think is going to happen in the Central's Pennant race?

Will it be our Brewers, DH's Cubs, or will Brenda's Cardinals sneek in at the last nano-second?

 

[Wine Diva]

Oh, sorry Brenda, I just checked the standings and the Cardinals are 8 games back--looks like they are pretty much out of the picture.

The wine slows down the brain cells.

Now that wasn't what I heard on the Today show the other morning. They said a glass or two helps stimulate the brain.

Oh wait, you probably thought they said bottles.

They did say too much is damaging.

Better to slow them down with wine than kill them with beer, right?

Hey, that should be your store's new motto.

 

[Wine Diva]

Shouldn't some of our UK friends be around or maybe they are having a pudding or two?

ooohhh, Karen, here's one:

You roll it to get the air out....

They're having a sale, and they have a UK partner site!

Typical - you get them on sale for $9.99..we have to pay £19.99 ($40)

With any luck, we will be eating our free breakfast from the hotel and checking out, awaiting our 9 am van to the port. BTW, I think the company we're using must think I'm nuts for wanting to get to port at 10ish, but they're accommodating us anyway! I changed our pickup time from 9:30 to 9am

BTW, when IS everyone getting to port?

Just look for the mad auzzie woman in a bad t shirt at the front of the queue leaping up and down and sceraming "let me on"

Go Brewers - the Cardinals are well out of it by now. But I can't complain ... the birds had a great run during the last five years and now it's someone else's turn (just not the Cubs!).

As for the King Roger avatar ... I wish I could help you but I've never been able to figure out how to personalize one of my own either. Maybe Cass can help you and then we can all enjoy seeing the scrumptious Roger on a daily basis.

Cards look like they are falling apart. Peaked to early. Sorry Brenda.

Cubs have a much easier schedule than the Brewers. Plus, if they keep bringing in Turnblow in the 8th, they won't win the games they need to.

They now need to win both days the Cubs are off (today and Monday) so they can make up the loss from yesterday. Then they need to stay with them win for win and hopefully get one extra.

However, with the Braves and Padres on their schedule, I don't see them getting enough wins. I say they lose by 2 games.

If they do somehow make it, they will lose in the first round. Mark my word, Turnblow will blow the last or second to the last game in the first series for them.

I love our new slogan...our real one is Wine All You Want!! I used to work for Johnson Wax's conference center that had a 24-hour open bar and the staff used to say our motto there was: Drink till your Drunk!
