[Remember... never drink while DISing... it's hazardous to your keyboard

Love it.
Last night I was almost 40 behind. I caught up and read it all !!!
Of course nothing else got done at home but there is always tomorrow.
I check in again 10 hours later and am 3 pages behind again. Luckily I can multi-task.
I was another 12 or something this time! Since I'll be away from the DIS for 3 days now, I'm sure I'll be another 30-40 soon! 
(did I just type that?)
This just TOTALLY cracks me up... where you say you were laughing so hard she couldn't understand you... I love it when you hear a joke so funny that you can't stop laughing when you're trying to retell it... ha ha ha. And the person listening is all, "What?! What??? Tell me what's so funny!" and you can't get through it...
but undoubtedly, you end up thinking it's way more funny than them because once you tell it, they're all..."Uh... oh, ok..." and you're all, "What? You didn't think that was the funniest joke ever????"
Hee hee hee.
That feat was accomplished through an evil genius plan. First I used a web-bot to capture the IP address Jordan posts from. Then using a trace route command, I isolated the router his ISP uses. Next, using an inverse hierarchy algorithm, I traced his subnet to the local switch office. From there a distance vector spectral analyzer gave his exact distance from the switch office. Using a GPS overlay, I then entered all possible coordinates into a relational database, extrapolated all pertinent details from his trip reports and cross referenced them with the entered data, and finally pinpointed his EXACT location. It was then that I made the shocking discovery that Jordan lived on goat farm in south central Peru. With international shipping rates being what they are, I decided the best course of action would be to send it to the return address from the card he sent me for winning the Trivia contest and figured they could forward it to him.
Priceless! You had me all the way to local switch office!
that caused the first liquid spray of the day!
OMGosh - me too!!!
Good going GreatBiscuit! You da man!
That's awesome!
Ah GB, I got misty again reading that!
But seriously my friend, you must pop on over to my PTR and join us in the Nerd test. You might be nerdier than I! Oh man was that funny!
I am lifting up thanks to the Lord that I was NOT taking a sip of anything at that particular moment.
Ok, now **I'M** misting up. Cruel person you. Hee hee hee. I know Jordan's just weeping now....
Wow, God is good (all the time).
Oh wow...awesome, awesome...love the poster, GB you rock. God is so good! I started misting up when I read about the poster, then the tears started rolling when I read about how God told you to do that all...ah, so so good.
This was encouraging to me today. I've had a bit of a rough morning with the little one, plus packing and cleaning the house, trying to get out the door...this weekend we are going to down to my Mom's to celebrate my Grandma's birthday-which is going to be awesome, TONS of people are coming! But soooo much work getting out of the house! Henry has been cranky, I'm getting cranky. I almost didn't take the time to sit and DIS for a moment, but I'm glad I did. Just reading this bit made me stop and realize that despite my craziness and stress today, God's got it-he's watching me, it will be okay, I'll make it through the day.
My stress is nothing compared to yours Jordan though...I will be praying it all gets figured out soon for you, and that you can once again find some glimmers of joy in your work. I have only been in ministry as a job for a short time, years ago, and I remember walking that fine line, it's rewarding, yet stressful, and stopping and not allowing the stress to take over, and focus on the purpose and the joy can be very, very hard to do. Sometimes near impossible.
Okay, I'm done rambling.
Brook! Loved your fro pic from the party!Jordan- That is a great looking poster! I love the DIS.. between the tipping fights and the pool hopping discussions.. there are many great people on here that do care for people that they have never met before. I'm glad it turned your frown upside down.
GB- What a nice gesture! That is a great poster! (i'll PM you my address so that Peru goat farm doesn't show up again!)
Wow, Jordan - what an awesome pickmeup from Biscuit. It really picked me up just to read about it. I've had a super stressful week, trying to mediate a huge conflict between two of my friends, so I haven't had the time or the heart to come on the Dis much. I'm so glad I did today.
Ok. So the sad thing is that I TOTALLY understood EVERYTHING you said here. I guess that makes me a geek/nerd. If you shorten that down, does that mean I'm a gerd? No, that's a disease. How bout a need? Nope. I'm only needed by my DW. I guess that makes me a nerk.
