<p>Is it just my machine, or have others had problems in recent weeks accessing the forums? In all to many cases, I go to post a reply only to have things freeze.</p>
<p>Other times, often around 6 PM, I can’t seem to get to the forums.</p>
<p>Any thoughts?</p>
<p>Yup yup and yup. I posted about this but got nobody else to respond, save you. Roger did respond they are moving to a larger server…again. Right at the time apps are due…again. </p>
<p>Glad you posted.</p>
<p>Same here. And of course today there appears to have been a total meltdown. </p>
<p>Not just your machine, at any rate.</p>
<p>clicks are money.</p>
<p>ditto here.</p>
<p>Hours worth of “database” problems. Lots of “reports generated.” So annoying. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know I’m addicted.</p>
<p>hehehehe… but you are reading for 4…3 sons and yourself. Pass for that.</p>
<p>Good line, hazmat.</p>
<p>Sigh,</p>
<p>Then it’s not my computer? As a long time Windows user, I’m used to this stuff - random freezes, looong pauses, settings that just vanish and so forth. I guess for once, microsoft is off the hook.</p>
<p>true confession-when any “one of 3 sons” walks into my room I “minimize” CC. Isn’t that a true sign of addiction? Trying to hide it? As if I’m fooling anybody. Not meaning to hijack thread’s purpose. Hey Roger, can someone get to this problem pronto? Thanks.</p>
<p>Hijack the thread? That’s what they’re for. </p>
<p>I did the same hiding thing with my D a few years ago, and do it now with my spouse.</p>
<p>Hmmm, this seems to be perfect thread for me to plant a “teaser.” :D</p>
<p>Watch for my disclosure Tuesday… of the Ultimate Rationalization for cc addiction. Can’t say more now. It’s in the works. Just have to make sure it all plays out.</p>
<p>Oh - good - I don’t feel so bad. Not only do I minimize the window, but, if I’m in a situation where someone might get too close to one of my laptops, I actually clear all history, AND delete temporary internet files, and cookies. </p>
<p>No one will ever know I was here! LOL!</p>
<p>I got so much more work done tonight as I didn’t get to take breaks switching to my CC window! :D</p>
<p>momof3sons and latetoschool~</p>
<p><strong>ROFLMAO</strong> Y’all are <em>SO</em> funny!!! Yes, I do the minimizin’ thang from time to time, but my dh is no fool…some days, if the house looks ESPECIALLY BAD when he walks in, the first words out of his mouth are, “Hey…what’s happenin’ on CC today??” :D</p>
<p><em>blush</em> :o</p>

<p>CC = our generation’s MySpace. :)</p>
<p>^^^ without the pictures…</p>
<p>Oh, pictures would be great! Should we ask for that enhancement? (Most bulletin boards do allow the uploading of avatars or other images to appear right along side of the name of the poster). ;)</p>
<p>I dunno, I kind of like using my imagination about you all.</p>
<p>CC has not been loading on my machine in Virginia this week. Thought maybe the Youngun’s who are actually applying to college…or the parents who actually have kids who are fixin to apply to college might be logging on in higher numbers after the first frosts.<br>
I have a son in HS who is not really thinking much about college just yet but will be next year and a son who is a second year college student that I just plain miss a lot. So I am still checking in on my favorite threads! I find the CC parents to be quite a hoot and often comforting and to be people who are on the same page as I am in life.<br>
Hey, it is Sunday night and my S actually called and talked an hour, so that was great. Our once a week and sometimes only twice a month long chat. I am pleased he calls each semester when it is time to sign up for courses just to toss around some ideas. A pleasant way to still be part of the equation, when frankly he has moved on to handling most of his day to day stuff on his own two feet with assists from adorable and bright friends his own age.<br>
I bet when they set up this website they didn’t factor in the Hangers On like myself.
You know what I found in a storage bin last week? A copy of the book “Letting Go” given to me by a good friend. I have still not read it…ick. However…If it wasn’t for the internet, I think I might have made more “Letting Go” progress if I inhabited the unwired world my parents lived in when I was launched…with snail mail and a few anxious long distance phone calls a year on a hall phone.</p>
