<p>Fellow USMA Posters - I thought I was going crazy until I saw the note from Roger Dooley, the CC Admin - apparently due to a problem they’ve had to back up a few days - posts from last few days have been lost.</p>
<p>BG…Glad I saw your post… thought I was just having problems with my computer.</p>
<p>I thought I was going nuts because I really remember talking to a few people today. </p>
<p>Think of all that great advice that has gone missing. And all of the wit. And somebody had me crying this afternoon. I think it was AKDad with the post about his son’s appointment. Gone. And didn’t taffy pick West Point? I think I’m missing my cyber-chocolate and cyber-merlot, too.</p>
<p>Hahaha. Thanks for the heads up. I was wondering why some of my posts were missing. :p</p>
<p>Surprised no one has blamed the CC data loss on NSA’s cyber-spying.</p>
<p>In case they restore the postings, I apologize for my last comments about Jamzmom, Boss51 and momoftwins. No apologies for comments about Shogun.</p>
<p>You are bad Mr. I thought you only private messaged to me about Boss. Now you’ve opened up a can of worms. BTW, Boss thinks I hacked the system to erase CG’s win over KP in swimming. Hmmmm. This Linux might be good for somthin’ if it should happen again.</p>
<p>Funny how the Twilight Zone music was playing in my head when I’d looked for that specific post…</p>
<p>aspen, I hope you weren’t complaining about me crying too much. :o Now go think up something funny. The gray days have got me down and I need a good laugh. Or maybe I’ll just have one of Jamzmom’s truffles. 
mmmmm</p>
<p>Momoftwins:Went to my time warp file and here’s the best I could do.</p>
<p>YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2006 when… </p>
<ol>
<li><p>You accidentally enter your password on the microwave.</p></li>
<li><p>You haven’t played solitaire with real cards in years.</p></li>
<li><p>You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 3.</p></li>
<li><p>You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.</p></li>
<li><p>Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don’t have e-mail addresses.</p></li>
<li><p>You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries.</p></li>
<li><p>Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of the screen.</p></li>
<li><p>Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn’t have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it.</p></li>
<li><p>You get up in the morning and go on line before getting your coffee.</p></li>
<li><p>You start tilting your head sideways to smile. : )</p></li>
<li><p>You’re reading this and nodding and laughing.</p></li>
<li><p>Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to forward this message.</p></li>
<li><p>You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list.</p></li>
<li><p>You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn’t a #9 on this list.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>AND NOW U R LAUGHING at yourself.</p>
<p>You got me, aspen! I’m laughing. :D</p>
<p>Ha ha good ones by Aspen and JM…</p>
<p>aspen: great post. I read something recently that made me think seriously about some of the issues you raise. Stephen King, who refuses to carry a cell phone, called cell phones the “slave bracelets of the modern age.” I’ve turned around many times to get my cell phone when I forgot it - or if I don’t, I carry around a feeling of dread until I get home. I have gone on several weekend or short vacations without my laptop - but I always find myself drifting down to the hotel business center to check my email - and CC. Pathetic.</p>
