I guess I'll finally get around to replying to your message.
Unfortunately, that link is long dead. Oh well.

That was a pretty good grub.
LOL
Have fun,
Phil
dry, now -g-
and you?
LOL! no, I don't think I was grubbing. I forget what I was testing though...hmmmmm
How are you Challo?
Well, lookie here who I found!
The snow is melting quickly. They are playing golf down by the Gloop but we are a couple of weeks away. 100 miles north of here and there is still 4' on the ground. Good winter for the winter sports folks.
BTW, has spring arrived in your neck of the woods?
Or do you have to wait until mid-June until the snow melts?
Near as I can tell, AS was AWOL for at least several days prior to the SI meltdown. We can only hope that they don't migrate over to iHub.
I never thought of the political angle. What in the world do you suppose some of those knob heads are doing? AS must be withdrawals!
Yup.
On the other hand, going an entire day without reading a post filled with political invective and factual inaccuracy is good for the soul.
Spring has arrived in the Midwest.
Hi all.
I'm thinking Bob Z. is seriously bummin' today.
Could be "investors" now.
Don't worry -- The CIA, FBI, and FCC will retain their backup copies in case of future litigation. <g>
I was out looking at Venus and the moon last night with the scope....oooooooo pretty
grubbage
damn, could you imagine the whole SI history being erased? Hmmm, it would erase the evidence that I posted over 61k messages there.....and the time associated with it....hmmmmm
Hey Phil!
yup, and considering how much I pay for both, I can cut them some slack....LOL
all is well in Jorjtopia

Looks like a lot of shorts on Zeev's thread got caught in this updraft. Good thing they are mostly day traders.
Seen the latest Business Week dated 3/22? They have an article on the job situation. Their take is that the small growth in jobs in spite of significant growth in GDP is because companies are still getting productivity gains from new technology and don't have to hire new people to get more output.
I think it sounds like a wonderful life! Your kids are very lucky to have such a wonderful daddy.
I like this website... http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/archivepix.html

LOL, I do have a life but usually it belongs to someone else! Last night my neighbor came over, he wanted me to set-up my new toy, a telescope. We were outside for a couple hours with clear weather looking at the planet parade happening in the skies:
Mercury
Venus
Mars
Saturn
Jupiter
plus the new cresent moon, is that a life? I don't know but it sure is spectacular. My kids enjoy it too, when dad sets up the scope they can be out after dark, plus they're on break right now.
Jim
Jim, the fact that you didn't know SI was down since 4:30 yesterday tells me you have a life. Congratulations!
Thanks, I was unaware of any issue. Does sound like we're out of SI for a while, looks like IHUB is the place to be.
Jim
Looks like SI may be down for quite awhile. Some old messages were disappearing from my Inbox and Outbox yesterday afternoon, and then the whole thing went down. Bob's update on Ihub overnight didn't sound encouraging.
Economic news this morning wasn't too bad.... Slow but steady recovery seems to be continuing:

Economy Grew at 4.1 Pct Rate in Quarter
Thursday March 25, 10:03 am ET
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - New claims for jobless benefits rose slightly last week and the economy slowed in the final three months of 2003, the government said in separate reports on Thursday.
The Commerce Department said gross domestic product -- which measures the output of goods and services produced in the United States -- rose at a 4.1 percent annual rate in the fourth quarter, down from the blistering 8.2 percent annual rate in the prior quarter. The figure was the same as the agency's second estimate a month ago and in line with Wall Street economists' estimates.
The Labor Department in a separate report said jobless claims rose by 1,000 to 339,000 in the week ended March 20. That was slightly above economists' projections.
"Jobless claims have reached an even keel and the revised GDP numbers saw an increase in business spending, which suggests we should see more job creation in the months ahead, but still below the pace needed for a robust economic recovery," said Jes Black, a currency strategist with MG Financial in New York.
In the Commerce Department report, after-tax corporate profits rose 7.6 percent in the fourth quarter, a slowdown from the 10.1 percent gain in the third quarter. For 2003, the department said after-tax profits were up a hefty 19.2 percent. That was down, however, from 2002's 24.6 percent increase in profits. It was the first time since 1996 and 1997 U.S. firms have seen back-to-back double-digit annual profits, the department said.
Part of the profit slowdown last year can be traced to larger corporate tax bills. Tax liabilities increased 15.3 percent in 2003, after a drop of 3.0 percent in 2002.
Measures of inflation in the report remained tame, even though they were revised somewhat higher. The price index for personal spending - closely watched by the Federal Reserve - rose at a 1.0 percent annual rate, revised from a 0.7 percent increase. Excluding food and energy costs, the price index was up at a 1.2 percent annual rate, above the 0.7 percent pace in the preliminary report.
While the fourth-quarter growth estimate was the same as in the preliminary report, some of the components were revised slightly.
Consumer spending was revised up, to a 3.2 percent rate from the previously reported 2.7 percent pace. Business investment was also revised upward, to a 10.9 percent advance from the previously reported 9.6 percent rate.
Government spending, however, was revised downward, falling at 0.1 percent rate from a 0.8 percent increase in the preliminary report. Inventory building was also revised to a slower pace.
I can't get on SI today, anyone here?
Jim
JXM,
Well at least Bob and Matt have provided you with somewhere else to waste your time.
LOL
How goes it?
Have fun,
Phil
You sure did, Sweetie Pie.
yup, I can't get there either.
and...I won the wag today
Thanks, Bob.
At least now I know I'm not crazy.
Norma
>>Is anyone else having trouble?<<
Yes!
I just sent you a private message by mistake... it has been a while since I have used this interface.
Anyway, SI has been down for me for over three hours. Is anyone else having trouble?
I just stopped into the office but I can not access it I see now.
Yep...dead for the past 30 minutes for me.
anybody else having problems with SI today?
Yes it appears to be functioning again.
Try it now. I just got in on the welcome thread.
I see that Bob is on it. Don't know anything about these things but do know it's irritating as hell when they don't work and you can't figure out why.
I checked, the last post anywhere there was about 9 last night.
Jim
Yes it would appear that SI has bit the wiener. There isn't a new post on any thread I bookmark.
Where's everyone? Tried posting on SI with no luck.
Jim
Hmm, SI not working well for me, thought I'd pop in here.
To DDD next.
Jim
just for you -
Hi Challo,
not a problem....thanks for the belated
hey big boy - sorry that I missed your birthday . . .
Hey Ben,
Amazing how those guys know to sit next to the people who they will annoy the most.
off topic remarks are welcome here.
Ben,
Although I am sure JXM has no problem with you posting here, but there is a board dedicated to your type of post:

Have fun,
Phil
