Seems like I only have to be here about five minutes before every topic on the screen says Last Post by tribdog. Then I sit and stare at the screen for about 20 minutes before I remember to hit refresh then I can go and change all the ones that have been replied to.

I was up all night smoking a pipe. Ever smoke pipes or cigars? Once in a while I get into it. I have this extremely tasty pipe tobacco from a Persian store.

Heh, you can always tell when someone first connects after being off for a while. You'll see a rash of postings by that person. I do the same thing.
