No probably not but I love those computer glitch stories, the $500,000 water bills and the like. .....as long as they stay outta' my computer.

Well were there any fireworks....or just the work part.

Hey always better late than never, hope you had a good one! I'm also 59 for 9 more months.

15 Reasons why Santa Claus must really be a WOMAN!! ?15. Santa *remembers* it?s Christmas. ?Nuf said. ?14. Reads children?s letters in office instead of in bathroom. ?13. Never explains what exactly you did to deserve that coal in your stocking; if you have to ask, maybe that?s the problem! ?12. Employs little people in a sweatshop and co-hosts TV talk show, ?Regis and Santa Lee.? ?11. Despite the closet full of red coats with big black belts, *still* insists she has nothing to wear on Christmas Eve. ?10. ?Mrs. Claus? wears work boots, has a crew cut, and drives a ?68 El Camino. ?9. A man simply would not care if you were naughty or nice. ?8. Actually seems to shake like TWO bowls full of jelly. ?7. Bowl full of jelly, my ass. It?s water retention. ?6. Constantly whining about equality until it?s time to clean out the reindeer stalls. ?5. Matching shoes and belt? Only a woman would accessorize a pantsuit like that! ?4. The North Pole Blockbuster?s been out of ?The Horse Whisperer? for weeks. ?3. No guy would ever name his animals Dancer and Prancer. ?2. With the way they build chimneys these days you?d *have* to be Calista friggin? Flockhart just to get in ?1. Santa never, ever observed peeing off of rooftops.

Hey that good umpire, referee reference was a compliment.....you know that Hope you all had a good holiday!! Rock on! http://popup.lala.com/popup/504684697963427176

Oh yes, they're best when they're like good umpires or referees at a game and you don't notice them. And a lovely season's greetings to LuLu and her beautiful pic. .....I'll send her a dozen snowballs to Florida from NE Ohio in the mail to keep her in the holiday spirit.

Funny thing, I'm watching the Rolling Stones on the (US) BIO channel....what times! When I was in high school in the rockin' 60s I used to DJ the "sock hops", especially after games. I can remember (I can't get no) Satisfaction when it came out, that's exactly how it was spelled out on the 45. Late 60s, early 70s what an era for music.

I'm wasting time watching it! Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and have a good New Year!

No, I'm good for awhile but it must be somebody's...... In probability theory, the birthday problem, or birthday paradox pertains to the probability that in a set of randomly chosen people some pair of them will have the same birthday. In a group of at least 23 randomly chosen people, there is more than 50% probability that some pair of them will have the same birthday. Such a result (for just 23 people, considering that there are 365 possible birthdays) is counter-intuitive to many. For 57 or more people, the probability is more than 99%, and it reaches 100% when the number of people reaches 366 (by the pigeonhole principle, ignoring leap years). The mathematics behind this problem led to a well-known cryptographic attack called the birthday attack....... I didn't believe it at first but it's TRUE!

Yes and we can't let this thread slide into obscurity! It must be someone's birthday.

We all could use a thought or two of the day, well here's a few to think about........... -Clever people master life; the wise illuminate it and create fresh difficulties. -The real trouble with reality is that there?s no background music. -It only takes 20 years for a liberal to become a conservative without changing a single idea. -Going to church doesn?t make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car. -Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege. -Give a man a match, and he?ll be warm for a minute, but set him on fire, and he?ll be warm for the rest of his life. -War doesn?t determine who?s right. War determines who?s left. -Sarcasm helps keep you from telling people what you really think of them.

Below you see: ? Next Oldest ? The Lounge ? Next Newest ? Click on "The Lounge" and you see a drop down and then follow along. Well color me "D'UH", it works!

Hey congrats, always nice to hear good news.

Just curious, did some of the Lounge Forum topics and pages get chopped off? Seemed like there were more topics.

KM, You're right on that, "starting to feel", you've got a looong way to go there.

Probably this part...... .......Deputies say that Ware is likely armed and dangerous...... ....had the law a bit cautious, or don't want to be sued if they didn't lock down and something happened. Seemed the dude didn't want to get caught and go back behind bars. Hmmm, I have a friend named Ware

I've used PCWorld.com for years, also get their various newsletters. .....and to think I used to read the magazine for 7 years.

Do you ever wonder about those people who spend $2.00 a piece on those little bottles of Evian water? Spelled backward isn't it just _ _ _ _ _? Isn't making a smoking section in a restaurant like making a peeing section in a swimming pool? If 4 out of 5 people suffer from diarrhoea... does that mean that one in five enjoys it? Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker? Why do croutons come in airtight packages? Aren't they just stale bread to begin with? If it's true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the others here for?

And I just turned 59 this past Monday 9/28/09. Geezzzz that sounds old, why don't I act like it?

Well we can't let this thread fade away. My next birthday is a mere month today.
