The Boast Post

Thanks everyone for your kind words.

Congrats, motherhubbard (overlooked your accomplisment in my euphoria) and congrats Shalot (yes, have you got a pic?)

hahah, barbara, have you thought of taking one of these courses for computer-illiterate people? e.g. one of those free ones were little kids teach adults? wouldn't it be fun to play the grumpy old woman and nag the kids to explain everything 300 times over?

Thanks for the old woman. (Joking) When I got my first computer (maybe about 8 or 10 years ago) there were no courses around here, so I had to teach myself everything I needed. Later a colleague of mine offered a course, but it was just the basics I already knew, and it wasn't about understanding the machine, so it was a waste of time.

Hey Barbara, maybe you could tell me what the hey is going on with my Photobucket account! Can't get any images, can't even access the site, grrrrr!

Certainly not. Tried Photobucket and gave up on it (which is not necessarily the fault of Photobucket ... )

I'll have a boast to make in about 5 minutes. I've been working on a table for my thesis for ages and ages and I'm nearly finished. At last! I've been cramming 150-200 pages of corpus output into a table. the bloody thing is 8 pages long (in 'landscape' style.. i mean the paper is sideways, not upward). I'll scream and holler when I'm finished!

[barbara0207]

Hm, can't hear you yet. Can you holler a bit louder?

[SleepyWitch]

grrrrrr, there is one word that is resisiting to be put into the table. but I'll just put it in there for now and holler anyway
I'll count all those 8 bloody pages (the table) as text to boost my page count! the prof said that's OK

weeeeeeeeeeheeeeeeeeeeeheeeee

[barbara0207]

Heard you definitely this time.

CONGRATULATIONS AND CELEBRATIONS

[SleepyWitch]

thanks but I'll only celebrate once I've written the remaining40 pages

[barbara0207]

Uh oh, I thought there must be a snag (8 pages wasn't that much). Good luck with the rest.

I recieved a 97 overall average on my report card. I think there were five 98s, a 96, a 92, and a 99. I'm happy .

[kiz_paws]

Yes, good luck, Sleepy, you can do it, YAY!

Barbara, thanks for your well wishes, but Photobucket is back in biz for me. Don't know what happened, but it is all good now.

Dori, that is fantastic! And you are 'happy'?! WOOT! I'd be this side of the moon with that!

Blackbird, you lead a very interesting life, congrats on all your accomplishments, sounds very fun!

I drove in New York City for the first time and I survived! This probably seems dumb, but I'm proud of myself. I only got my driver's license a few months ago. I was scared to death w/ the thought of driving in Manhattan, but I made it and thank goodness I won't have to do again for a while.

Whoah, I would be terrified to do that...I don't even wanna drive in my own small town. In fact, I don't wanna drive at all. Good job!

You drove all the way from Kentucky? Or am I confusing you with someone else? Manhattan is not really that bad, is it? What streets were you on? You should drive down Broadway at night. That is some site.

We managed to download and install and actually use GnuPG and enigmail.
They are encrypting programs, for people who are unfamiliar with them. Took me half a day.

You definitely deserve three bananas for doing that:
