Jon, I'm very sorry. My thoughts are with you and your family. Strength and peace to you.
Just call me the computer whisperer.

If I hadn't just changed my tag, I'd so use this.
I mean the joke wrote itself, but...
Oh my dog, yes! I laughed so hard at that. When they showed it again as the moment of zen, I repeated what Jon said in my head and laughed even harder.
I already said this over in the music thread, but I'm so sorry Jon. I know what it's like (because I lost my father) and I don't (because it's different for everyone).

Always Anti-fascist!
I have faced many of modern times' crises naked and wet. And yet, it's no fun at all. I was in the shower for 9/11, the OKC bombing, and at least one other, though I was in school for the Challenger, and my parents told me about John Lennon(still makes Mom sad, but so does RFK)

I am sorry for your loss, Jon.
Yahoo mail is working for me.
We caught 9/11 live on tv (saw the second plane hit live), by sheer coincidence - mr. flea was home from work in a deeply foul mood and I turned on the TV to get away from him/cheer him up. Normally we never watch morning TV. It certainly made mr. flea's job snit seem like small potatoes.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Oh, the OKC bombing. I was in LA, being in-house counsel defending depositions in the discovery from hell. (Opposing lead counsel, who was a disbarred attorney acting pro se, loved playing mind games. And that was on his more cooperative days.) The Feds were staying at the Century Plaza because it was a nice hotel, accepted the government rate, and was across the street from where the depositions were being held.
I got to breakfast first. When the Justice Department attorney got there, her first words were, "Have you heard? They've bombed the federal building in Oklahoma City!"
Made for a very weird day. Not least because opposing counsel would come in after every break with "news" about the supposed bombing of another federal building.
We eventually won the lawsuit, BTW.
