Nope, I don't think so. Somehow I think there must be something wrong with me at this momment. I was speaking to a Mr Wetblanket before coming here and I think I'm feeling bad about everything because of that silly conversation. But well I think here's a bit boring right now anyway.

You poor poor girl, i once felt like you and i still do. I blamed it on me being a boring old fart now that i have a full time job, rather than just slobbing around at college wasting my days away on PF.

Oh Sir, I have to admit that from what you told us about what you have to do, I always thought you were a plumber or mechanic! :biggrin: But well because you're here, I thought you must be an engineer! o:)

You didn't get your invitation?

Why, the annual PF contributor's Bacchanal just ended. I was wondering why you weren't there. Stuffs some left over baklava into yomamma's hard drive.
