My long dead parakeets, Jack and Jill, are horrified with what you two are saying.

I would never kill your dead dog, HTH. Not unless you destroyed that ultra-cute picture of her. No one could look at that face and think evil thoughts.

Your face, however, is quite another story.

First of all, thanks so much for this tip! I'm going to be using it from now on.

I don't really have too much of a systematic approach. I will usually have a seperate browser windo open for each board that I am checking out. I'll go to "new posts" and scan them to make mental notes of what I think might interest me.

From there, it's a crapshoot though. I go where the wind takes me, never knowing if a topic is going to send me on an internet journey. A simple political topic for example, may turn into a research project, as I try to find data to support my position. Or someone may mention Fred Flinstone as a beatnik and I'll spend an hour trying to find a pic that I can use for my avatar. Stuff like that.

Generally though, I'll eventually get around to reading all of the threads that I wanted to and responding where appropriate but it can be a long, drawn-out process sometimes.

That's it! My cute dead dog is so going to kick your pail carrying dead parakeets' tail feathers for that remark.

You know, if you two don't knock it off, I'm bringing in my dead Ninja cat.

(Seriously- I have a dead cat named Ninja!)
:D

Ninja I
NInja II
Ninja III
all buried in the garden?

And they all voted in the last election.

lol, Gn2!

Even better- I voted in the Washington state election.
My dead cat didn't, though- as far as I know, anyway.....

Uber-
Ninja I (ran away with the bad feral kitties down block)
Ninja II- Ex- cat, ate himself to death. Not buried in a garden.

So, you had three Ninjas? Lol- I thought I was bad! Were they all black kitties?:cool:

Eiwwww! You kept your dead cat? Gross!

Lol! I know- I thought about that one, but if I were going to menace someone with a dead cat, then it stands to reason that I should actually have one, as opposed to had.

This is sad, isn't it? Explaining the reasoning behind a sentence where I threaten someone with an dead pet.;):p

I'm a "New Posts" person and I'm just figuring out the displaying posts tricks and such. I have a new computer so I have that pop up blocker that I'm still trying to navigate...(GD you taught me something new!)

Ok then I lurk...and then lurk some more. I try in vain to find a coooool avatar and then I lurk some more. Eventually I find a post to dip my toe into, and in about 4 months, I might actually have a post count worthy of a new member. :D

:cool:
