So, we've all had some great conversations interrupted by that misbehaving chatroom lately. Mr. Pid wrote a great song on the subject...
Feel free to pick them up again here. Or report your more surreal episodes of being booted for misbehaving.
chat probs
Thank You Marye! Excting to know. The icons r fun and the prankster censor. Cant wait to see the next level :)
new chatroom
Hows the new chatroom treating evrbdy?Is it as good as the old one?I havent had the internet time to commit to it.......
coincidence? perhaps
some folks have been reporting trouble getting into the chat room, as in, their logins and passwords don't work, or things hang up in various weird ways.
Strangely, this happened to me in the recent past, and it went away today. What changed is that I upgraded to the most recent version of Firefox. Therefore I'd suggest you might try updating your browser if you're having this problem, and trying again. Ya never know. But I have also reported this issue to our technical wizards.
as far as I can tell
the chat room is working fine now. If this is not the case, please advise.
Well......I went there on the 1st..
bein' Jerry's Bday, and all.....I just missed GC, I mean by mere seconds, and waited around...but no-body else came in, so, I went to facebook, but I don't dig the chat there AT ALL. I'll try again periodically. Maybe folks will be there on the 9th, cryin' on each other's shoulders, missin' you know who.....
Stie different
No post, no forums, no chat and a CAPCHA. Whats up??
Badger in Exile
Just to let all my CR buddies know that I am not avoiding you. I have been unable to get into the CR for several months now, for technical reasons I do not understand. It is not a problem at my end, I have tried with different computers, settings, changing names, changing passwords etc. Apparently the tech people know about it, but they have a lot of other more important glitches to clear up so I have to wait. Maybe I did something bad in the CR?? Hope not. Please know that I miss you, especially on these long cold lonely evenings and when I am on the road. I hope to be back some time.
Happy Midwinter Festival of your choice
Badger
you are far from alone in this
and the issue's been reported to the tech guys.
I will ping them again on the subject.
It doesn't work, poor chatroom!
Might as well use this space for something useful. Let's see,
Tiger Woods won his first championship in over 2 years.
Goooooo Tiger! I hope he comes back for the last of his prime of his career. Age 49 is the last year a golfer qualifies for the pro tour. Thereafter they are relegated to the still very lucrative Champions (Seniors) tour.
If Tiger (now 35) can win 10 more majors and 25 more championships he will set the high water mark for golfers for probably the next century, if not forever (100+ wins in the regular season).
Moral turpitude is reprehensible and not to be condoned, but in this most difficult of games, a true great like Woods can make it a small asterisk in a rather large biography of one of those they call "The Greatest".
Not a golf fan
But yeah, I don't see what his personal life has to do with his sporting skill.
Actually
Tiger, as well as a select handful of others can play in any PGA Tour sponsored or co-sponsored event they want for the rest of their lives. Tour grants lifetime exemption for anyone with 30 or more career wins. Golfers do not become eligible for the Champions Tour until they are 50, but they are not precluded from regular Tour events just because they are 50 or older.
And yes, I'd like to see Tiger fulfil his potential as well, and I think he will. Only Nicklaus and Snead have more career Tour wins, and only Nicklaus has more professional Majors. Tiger should be able to eclipse both of those marks.
As for his off-course behavior, it is unfortunate but let's face it, he's no Michael Vick, and thank goodness for that!
Thanks Mr. Pid!
You can tell I'm a duffer, though I like to watch
dead and gone
So is that chat room finsihed for ever? Does dead net want to get rid of it? I spent months shut out of it and despite messages via MaryeE nobody fixed it. Now the whole thing seems to have vanished. If it is closed for good then please let us know.
thanks
I've reported that this continues to be a problem
I will pass along news when I have it.
Gone and dead
Marye thanx for all you do. We know its beyond your control. What makes it sad is each time it goes down the less come back and then new ppl come on and goes down again and then we lose them. Almost makes it not worth it because the ones there do try to work hard to build it back up again. So i agree with badger. Just let us know if the chat is dead.If so rhino has lost a special part of Dead.net
Update on chat
I would not go so far as to say that everything is just exactly perfect, but the current version of chat appears to be at least somewhat functional, so please go check it out and report issues you may encounter. Thanks so much! Link is http://www.dead.net/chat.
Onward, furthur, etc...
Ye old chat
Is it true that an old extension cord last used in the Wall of Sound is responsible for the periodic crashes of the chat room?
Ye old chat, yada yada
Criminy, that was fast.
Quick, Mona, man the battle station!
Tie Die Duct Tape
They sell every other style! What about a 50th Anniversary Special Edition duct Tape?
social anxiety experiement
my lawyer assures me this social anxiety experiment of perma chat crash is both cruel and unusual and you can expect a letter from him much sooner then the denied "pink slip" letter your chat karma will get you from gdtstoo! -throws a fit-smashes computer monitor-cuts himself repeatably on the testicles-screams-cries-begs-pisses himself
-calms down
ok, ok, im ok, just alittle anxiety, loss of control from chat crashing, im fine now, its back up, im sorry, im sure itll stay up this time, im sure, oh no...no NO NO NO....AgggagaggrrrrrrggrgrgrrrrrrraaagaaghahHHHHHH!
Where is my story geooooOOOOOOOOOOOO
I hope you have enjoyed this comedy skit brought to you by super bowl 49!
The Story
okay, where were we...oh yes, in the foothills of the Sierra Mountains, in the County of Calaveras, a quaint small town called Angels Camp, population around 5000 or so, at at the Frogtown Fairground that Mark Twain wrote about in his book, The Jumping Frog of Calaveras County"
By the way, the Hells Angels, long before Altamont, way back in 1957, roared in to that small town and took it over, and scared the bejeebus out of everyone, and effectively shut down the downtown for around 20 years every year,the weekend the Frog Jump took place...but I digress, because this story is not about Frogs, or Hells Angels, it's about the Grateful Dead and a small but pretty cool chapter in their touring lives...one which I was so very fortunate to be a part of...
The Story, call it Chapter 1, or whatever...
So Bill Graham booked the fairgrounds to have a massive Grateful Dead concert, right in my backyard...as I lived in Columbia, which was right across the Stansilaus River (which is now a reservoir-waahhh), a stones throw from Angels Camp. We all used to raft that river back in the day, and it was majestic. Friends of the River was founded to save that river, btw, which ultimately failed, not for lack of trying tho. FOTR did end up saving the Tuolumne River and making it wild and scenic, and that's a good thing. The GD may have thrown some money at FOTR through their Rex Foundation...but this story is not about the river, or our environmental fight in the 70's to save it...
So roll back the clock to 1987, summer, August, about a hundred degrees in the shade, with 25,000 hippies rolling in to this paranoid town (Angels Camp) to celebrate the last blast of partying before school started, etc...August 22, 23, the end of the west coast summer tour, but the start of our journey...
Deadant, you still with us?
