So...

did that beauty rest help any?

Or had the damage already passed the point of no return?

I guess DS just woke up, looked in the mirror, and decided he wasn't done yet!

Funny....you don't look haggard to me, Goddess. In fact, you live up to your nickname!

WickedGoddess · #**2507** (**permalink**) 08-09-2009, 09:11 PM

Take a nice long shower, and eat something. You'll live! (whether you want to or not!)

WickedGoddess · #**2509** (**permalink**) 08-09-2009, 09:53 PM

After a very long day of work yesterday, slept sans alarm, woke up at 0832 -

- still wanting for sleep, no luck though -

- gave up on that, started working around 1000, just now taking a badly needed break to brew more coffee and break open a fresh pack of Pall Malls.

Caffeine and nicotine, life forces of the universe.

And, if not, bum one.

Long day. Just finished entering, pricing & uploading 160 sets of seats for the client named in my sig.. Got behind on that owing to web orders running about 50% ahead of last year, despite the current economic climate.

We're still puzzling over that.

Now, to process today's web orders. Might even find time to eat before 0100.

Well if they're tickets for football games, it's no great surprise to me. Folks in Pennsylvania will go hungry, to watch ANY Pennsylvania team play!

deepsand · #**2515** (**permalink**) 08-10-2009, 12:51 AM

Agreed; but, a 50% increase when the economy is in the tank?

We've come up with 2 possible explanations, but they're speculative.

1) Paterno is now on a yearly contract, renewable at his option. Given his age and recent health problems, it may be that many do not want to miss seeing him in what may be his final season as head coach.

2) With the ecomony forcing many to forego their customary summer vacations, many have turned to less expensive sources of entertainment closer to home. Perhaps, for some, a PSU football game serves as such. (Oddly, though, the number of at-a-distance customers, particularly from west of the Mississippi and the deep South is up as well.)

While PSU does have the world's largest dues paying alumni association, it should be noted that such do not make up the majority of our customer base.

Doc · #**2516** (**permalink**) 08-10-2009, 01:35 AM

2245

Both probably have some truth in them, but for a 50% upswing, there's got to be something else.

deepsand · #**2517** (**permalink**) 08-10-2009, 02:38 AM

I concur.

The only other thing that comes to mind is that, based on their being disappointed at having little to no luck on the public ticket sales on Ticketmaster over the past several years (only junk for "minor" games to be had there,) many decided to not waste their time trying that, and decided to get what they wanted while there was still a good assortment available.

With total sales to date now over 50% of last year's total, we're just hoping that sales for the rest of the season don't take a nose dive.

Didn't get to supper before 0100, again; no surprise there. Gonna throw together some mackerel salad sandwiches, and grab a bag of Good's potato chips.

Doc · #**2518** (**permalink**) 08-10-2009, 03:02 AM

2247

Yeah, I'm gonna hit the sack! See ya'll tomorrow!

WickedGoddess · #**2519** (**permalink**) 08-10-2009, 09:23 PM

2248-- Slept for 8 hours and I'm feeling recharged.

Doc · #**2520** (**permalink**) 08-10-2009, 09:33 PM

2249

Good for you! So now that you're all rested up, we should be able to get this thread past the 2350 mark, right?

Martinscholes · #**2521** (**permalink**) 08-10-2009, 09:42 PM

2250! One more step closer to our goal!

Doc · #**2522** (**permalink**) 08-10-2009, 09:50 PM

2251

Hello, Martin! How's life treating you?

Once upon a time, in a world far, far away, I could get by with 3-5 hrs. of sleep every 2-3 days.

Then the dark forces of bronchitis and mononucleosis conspired to engage in a joint attack, which left me bedridden for 6 weeks. Now, a min. of 9 hrs. of sleep per day are required for my feeling "recharged."

DS, it is just possible that being older than dirt has something to do with that.

I know!

Dirtily,

Doc

2254

Where it not that such change occurred decades ago, I might agree.

The only change brought with age is that the sleep deprivation resulting from my having refused to surrender over a third of my life to sleep becomes increasingly difficult to ignore.

WickedGoddess · #**2526** (**permalink**) 08-11-2009, 12:32 AM

2255-@ Doc It's 2350 mark? didn't know ( brain fart). What's the prize then? hehe

deepsand · #**2527** (**permalink**) 08-11-2009, 12:41 AM

2256

Why, you, of course.

Doc · #**2528** (**permalink**) 08-11-2009, 01:37 PM

2257

Good mornin', all! Just back from a brisk ocean swim, ready to get on with things!

Or a nap...I'm still up in the air on it.

hazzel · #**2529** (**permalink**) 08-11-2009, 05:06 PM

Hi, Doc!

It's treating me OK. Now my infected knee has got better! Insect bite went nasty, joint swollen, ouch!

Antibiotics and NSAIs and a walking stick.

Oh, yeah! 2259.

In answer to your previous question, it was the thrill of getting one number nearest to our goal.

hazzel · #**2531** (**permalink**) 08-11-2009, 07:14 PM

2256

The net went bad..it's delaying my task.

deepsand · #**2532** (**permalink**) 08-11-2009, 07:18 PM

7 x 17 x 19 = 2261

Doc · #**2533** (**permalink**) 08-11-2009, 07:24 PM

2262

No fun, Martin! I got a bad infection a couple of years ago from a spider bite. I wasn't smart enough to see the doctor when it was obviously getting infected, and three days later, I ended up on 500,000 unit antibiotic injections, every other day for a week!

I wanted the shot in my shoulder, but they insisted it go in my backside, instead. Good thing, 'cause in the morning, I couldn't walk! Might have killed me in the shoulder!

jabo · #**2534** (**permalink**) 08-11-2009, 10:04 PM

noticed any changes yet? like clearer vision, ability to climb walls and squirt spider web? changes like that of Peter Parker's?

No, but I have been eating a lot more flies than usual.

And I'm VERY careful around my wife, lest she rip my head off!

deepsand · #**2536** (**permalink**) 08-11-2009, 11:03 PM

2265

Hm-mm; seem to recall ctabuk having recently mentioning his having acquired a taste for flies as well.

Domainmetro · #**2537** (**permalink**) 08-12-2009, 12:23 AM

Number 2266

deepsand · #**2538** (**permalink**) 08-12-2009, 12:27 AM

2267 another Prime

WickedGoddess · #**2539** (**permalink**) 08-12-2009, 12:47 AM

2268-- The net is so irritating today... It goes on on off grr!

deepsand · #**2540** (**permalink**) 08-12-2009, 12:53 AM

2269 yet one more Prime

Well, if you're getting 2 "ons" for every "off," you're ahead of the game.

Domainmetro · #**2541** (**permalink**) 08-12-2009, 12:59 AM

2270 Twenty Two Seventy

WickedGoddess · #**2542** (**permalink**) 08-12-2009, 01:01 AM

2271-- @ DS lol, but still you're ahead of me

deepsand · #**2543** (**permalink**) 08-12-2009, 01:05 AM

2272

But, that's owing only to your "location" being "behind" us. You can change that with but a few key strokes.

WickedGoddess · #**2544** (**permalink**) 08-12-2009, 01:10 AM

2273-- Right If I post an average of 30 per day hehe. ( New mod might caught me lol

)

deepsand · #**2545** (**permalink**) 08-12-2009, 01:13 AM

2274

I was referring to the entry in your Profile saying "Location: --behind you--."

Change that, and you can be "in front" of all of us.

Domainmetro · #**2546** (**permalink**) 08-12-2009, 01:15 AM

2274 The number count continues

Domainmetro · #**2547** (**permalink**) 08-12-2009, 01:17 AM

2276 is the number I should say now

WickedGoddess · #**2548** (**permalink**) 08-12-2009, 01:18 AM

2275-- Oh sorry, silly me! ( lol at myself ) hehe... I can be so stupid sometimes, no most of the time.

Doc · #**2549** (**permalink**) 08-12-2009, 01:20 AM

2278

Hi, ya'll! Goddess, you really ARE ahead of us. It's still Tuesday here.

WickedGoddess · #**2550** (**permalink**) 08-12-2009, 01:22 AM

2279--- Now I'm not just in front but ahead all of you lol

haha

@ Doc, it's Wednesday here already... How are you? not sleepy at all?
