Give him a call; set something up.

Violent, whatever. You, Dog and Shaggs are welcome if you can behave. That's the bottomline.

Otay. Gotta run. Scribe, give Trent and Jackie a call.

Good Morning all - soon to be afternoon.

How is everyone fairing during this withdrawal stage? I am really bummed it is over, but I didn't get really intense the last few days, so the break is well worth it.

I found a new hunt we can get involved in today. I heard about it on the radio.

The startrib is trying to boost readership I believe. Each day they will post a clue somewhere in the paper. That clue will point you to a place on their website. When you find that place on the website, there is a second clue that points you somewhere else. Once you find the somewhere else then you register to win the 1 year lease on the VW beatle. They state it is a hunt that you don't have to go out in the cold for. They call it the bug hunt. I haven't had time to look iat it today, so I don't know if the clues are as fun as the MED clues, but I thought I would mention it. LOL

Green - I saw your name in the online article about the filmmakers. That was such a neat idea to film the hunt.

Green, I might be there on Sun. It depends on if I can get my &^%& butt up early enough. I have to work at 3p that day. But if I can't...save me some chicken salad! lol

I agree Ares - Just thought I'd help with the withdrawal. I don't even know what a Star Tribune is. :)

I would think most places in downtown St. Paul would be VERY quiet after dark. Maybe somewhere in Landmark Center? I know there's a basement with some historical stuff down there that's very quiet. And there is some Winter Carnival stuff going on in there they could shoot too.

Hi All,

I looked at "The Bug Hunt" and it seems pretty lame to me. If the Star Trib wants do do a "hunt" in answer to the PP's the least they could do is make it good . . .

I found a cool, little FREE program that takes the ads out of web pages you visit, such as Steve's, Derick's or mine. It also blocks doubleclick.com cookies, a company that tracks where you go on the internet. When you install, only choose to block ads and doubleclick cookies. It is from ZDnet, Ziff-Davis.

ian, there's (my opinion at least) a better one at http://www.junkbusters.com/ht/en/ijb.html

this one is probably the single most used proxy on the net.

hmm. i was gonna ask why you'd encourage people to not view your banner ads, right up to the point that i realised that they're not your ads :) blond moment, and i ain't blond.

Oh my God, I'm in the Cooler! Hi everybody! After a week of emails between me and Mom about glitches with their registration process, four attempted and denied user names and passwords later, I'm in. For those of you reading these posts with the same problem I had, don't give up, just keep emailing Mom!

Hi Ian! Ares, that was me in the green coat when we were talking with Steve.

Does anyone know if our user names and passwords carry over from year to year? I can't go through the torture of parcipating only by slogging again!

I'm so pissed at Best Buy/Kingston. I bought memory to upgrade two computers and there was supposed to be a 50% rebate. Now I get a postcard from Kingston telling me i didn't purchase it during the rebate dates. It was in the Best Buy ad (in December) AND they printed out recpts, etc. for me. Of course, I can never get thru the 800 number !!!! GGGRRRRRRRRRRRR
