All I can get is the "swirl" background with no status window, no options, etc. Is anybody else having this problem, or has my Flash client been corrupted?

I'm having the same problem.
Could it be that Greg didn't open the chat yet??
 
Same here turbo.
 
Greg is aware of the problem. He's working on the fix.

Please be patient, and standby.

Oh good. Now maybe I'll have time to drive into Lawrence to refill my microbrewery jugs.

Oh, man! You need to move up here. Maine is a back-water, but it is beer-heaven.

I'm back with my beer. But since there's still a problem with chat, I might not be functional by the time it's fixed. :cry:

I'm here all alone with Duke (wife is on a "girls' outing" with her sister) and no chat. I have fresh French bread, custard, beans baking in the oven, and Molson Golden. But NO chat. :cry:
 
{{{hugs}}} turbo.

I wonder what the problem is?

Oh dear, what if Greg doesn't have time to fix it today?

Ha. At least you have Molson Golden and Duke. One of the Jugs I got refilled turned out to not be Golden Wheat; even after telling the bartender she gave it to the wrong customer. I sent them an email. Now I hoping for a free half gallon of Wheat. Knowing that will get me through a day without chat.

i.e. if I can manage to drive back into town. :confused:

Duke is a good boy, but not a chatty type, except when he is excited. When I got back home after towing my wife out of the ditch Friday morning, he was giving me "what for", hopping all around and barking at me. He doesn't like me being out of his sight for a minute, much less an hour.

I got a reply email from the microbrewery to verify I wasn't spamming them. I'm drinking the non-wheat beer, but it's just not the same.

I'd share one some of my beer with Duke but he may decide to talk more than you would like him to. :)

Missing chat also. :(

In 5 minutes, Jimmy will be kicked off the library's computer anyway. Maybe later (please, Greg!).
 
  • #21
So what's the problem? Or isn't it figured out yet?

I'm dying here, need the weekly fix. Even if it is only a few hi's.

Need to escape from NaCl hell!
 
  • #22
chat is canceled this week. there is a slight problem that will be fixed for next week.
 
  • #23
Must have been that additional Valentines chat. :cry:

Dammit people, our lack of romantic plans killed chat!

Greg is stifling freedom of speech!

REVOLUTION!

Don't log in at all, then. That gives Greg income from page-views. :devil: I'd rather wait until chat is fixed, though.

If you go carryin' pictures of Chairman Mao, you ain't going to make it with anyone, anyhow.

You can take the first shot. I'll be right behind you...

Oh, he's a tricky bird that one. Trying to get me to unload all of PF's fish. Good catch turbo!

Dang :(

So be it.

Boy, am I glad I was out and about all day, I feel a revolution brewing, and no amount of dead fish dispensers is going to quell it.

Rhody... :rolleyes: scurries under a rock...

I have loved this song since it first came out MANY years ago. I used to sing it to my girls when they were little.

My wife often cooks fish heads for me. It's on the menu for tomorrow. I especially like the eyes.

My sweet cousin always leaves the heads on the fish when she roasts/bakes them. She's no dummy! The tenderest, most succulent meat on a big trout or salmon is the jaw muscle, just under the gill-flap. She is a bow-hunter and an ice-fishing fool, along with her husband, and she knows how to prepare and serve game and fish.

After she taught me this, I always left the heads on my big fish when I marinaded and grilled them. My wife learned quickly and gets her share of the treasures, though guests weren't always excited to see fish looking like "creatures" instead of "supper".

I always wondered what that was. It's delicious.
