ah, ok. it'll be a while. I never have a lot to say

Go to the McAnally's section and read some of the stuff in there.  I'm sure you'll find plenty to say.

any help with describing it..um I'm sorta a user not a maker...

I'm not entirely sure, either, but I imagine what they have in mind is kind of like IM, but through the site.  Many businesses will block IM, but not the website, so people were talking about a kind of real time chat feature hosted by you.  I'm not a programmer, so I'm not sure how you'd even do it, but personally don't see how it would be feasible.  Y'all have enough going on.

I don't but I believe my hosting provider does -- it's either a data backup or a log rotation at work.

That makes sense.  We figured something was up because it happens every morning at the same time.  It's too consistent to be a coincidence.  Thanks for answering my nosy questions.

My brows are fearsome indeed!  And just wait until Jim and I join efforts: with our powers combined, we will form Captain Eyebrow Planet.

The mental image that envoked was...disturbing.

Yep, the clicks help.  They've fallen off a bit from the highs, but that mostly tracks alongside the traffic curve, above -- so we've got a somewhat sustained improvement, definitely helping to continue to justify the increased costs of the server we're on. 

Good.  I'm glad things are going well.  If that changes, let us know.  We'll nag.

I don't think he's comfortable with being kissed by fans, but I'll give him a bag of the Hershey's variety.

If Daoine's hubby "won Christmas" with his shield bracelet, you, Randall, and Jim have won birthdays.

No problem.  I understand completely.  The "We're not worthy" scene from "Wayne's World" will work just as well.  Don't forget to take a picture.

I think Randall and Jim get most of the credit here, but thank you.

Hummm does that mean he'll get penalized for it on the vile thread?   :-)

You are the best Wolfhowls AND Helen you are too for planning such a special treat for Hawthorn..

Hugs to all!  (including Jim!)

I've been running on the "Vote for me because I'm nice" platform, so yeah, I think it puts a crimp in his campaign technique.  Gee, what a shame.

I don't know if this is the appropriate place to post these, but since it happened in Houston, it seemed right to me.

My daughter Hawthorn's 15th birthday was on 4/4/08, three days before the signing.  We live in Miami, but it just so happens that one of the board great's lives in Houston.  Randall (Wolfhowls) (I so love Randall) not only got a book signed for her, but he got JB to sign a birthday card to her as well.  She got them today.  I took some pictures, and here they are:

Looking at the signature:



The birthday card:



The signature in the card:



And the book...he actually wished her a happy birthday and dated it on her birthday.  How cool is that?  I am officially one of his fangirls.  I have thus far avoided being anyone's fangirl, but he went way above what he needed to do to make her happy.  What a great guy.  Priscellie, when you see him this weekend, give him a big kiss and thank you from us, will you?

I'm seeing Jim this weekend.  We will turn the power of both our eyebrows at you.  Tell.

OK.  I didn't start these threads, so you don't get to ban me over them.  Deal?
