Very Sad. . . If I built my own house every wall would have to be a bookcase to hold the books we have.



If I had a bigger house, I'd love to put our books out instead of boxes..

Poof - can you play the eight ball word game? I can't think of a word for that one!!



Are you serious? Wow. I thought everyone knew.

You lift flaps to see what's under / answer questions. IE- the top may say "what does a dog say" and under the flap there's a pic of a dog barking.

I didn't know what an "unflap" book was.

Thought maybe a paperback with the cover torn off, that they warn you is illegal to buy or read or whatever.

Well, another day has passed and I didn't use algebra once.

There's no reason to close the thread till another one is started.
Nothing will break down if a thread goes over 100 pages.
Geez.

Memory might be failing me, but I don't remember ever closing PWA unless cruzer was around to start another one.
It does not hurt anything to wait a few pages more.

The last several have closed without, and DA is right, everyone just waits it out in Yammer. I don't have a problem waiting for Cruzer or even closing late tonight, and then having everyone wait in the morning. Not like Sunday morning is really busy around here anyway.

Man, can U2 sell out any more? Blackberry?!?

Every year, I think U2 can't sell out any more. And every year they prove me wrong.

Yammer is at page 98 right now.
There is no reason to close a thread at exactly 100 pages.
It's an arbitrary number put out there by the Woot guys so a thread does not get too big and unwieldy.
Sorry, but I was in the chat room the night 4 years ago when they decided to close the first PWA at over 300 pages.

I don't really care today. My laptop is having a very hard time talking to my router and it makes chatting almost unbearable. I'm actually working on some writing I've been neglecting in another window while I wait for pages to load.

Ah, that blows.
I have had lappy/router issues in the past and it is FRUSTRATING!!
I hope it resolves itself.

The powers that be want them closed around 100 now. Something to do with the servers running better or some baloney like that.

I will close sometime in the next 30 minutes. Random time.

Uh, no.
The woot chat room is what I was referring to.
But.....they do have a spot that only mods can see where they post to each other.
It might be different/better now, I don't know.

In the time I've been there, I've seen no talking about people unless it was to ask how to handle a situation.

so I stand by my j/k
