Avatars

Guys, in case you're wondering, I have avatars turned off for now. Since the ever increasing traffic load, I have found that they have been causing a pretty big load on the system, so I'm turning them off for the night to see how much of a difference it makes. I'll let you all know the outcome.

Hey,,,,, could you turn off the water too?,,,,, I think I left it running in your office sink. I was hoping when the sink got full,,, it would unplug the drain that was stopped up from dumping coffee grounds down it.

Thats just great

I just stocked up on Toilet paper today and put it under that sink

You realize this means I will be hanging the JC Pennys catalog back in the DTR Admin restroom

Not a problem,,,,,
I got everything under control. Shovelhead is helping me hang the toilet paper out to dry in Lary's office.

MAN!!!........ Y'all ought to see what 24 rolls of toilet paper looks like unrolled and draped over everything in that office! Sure hope he comes in late as usual tomorrow.

Rattlin, I hope that our idea of spraying the T.P. with WD-40 after it dries helps keep it dry in case the sink overflows again.






>some of these threads just take off in all sorts of directions, don't they?.......

It works better if you spray them with tuna oil when you hang them out to dry... makes them roll up easier...

DANG IT, MAN! Where's my dang avatar! Guess we need to take up another collection for the server memory... I could probably donate some gov't computers...

DOTS ... my fav!!

from what i can tell the green colored dot is to let others know you're currently online.

the gray dot is when you're offline, i haven't seen any other colors though.

What does it mean when you have a PINK dot next to your username?

Please tell me I am not the only one.....
