At the moment..

I have got down to 47 unread. I need to get down to all unread to refresh
the page which now stands at 8795 messages.
Could you all stop talking for 24 hours? ;-)) LOL. No chance!

Heh... I gave up on trying to catch up with all the messages on this
forum a long time ago. =o) 24 hours? Wouldn't help me catch up on all
the stuff I've already missed that this group has discussed! After
all, cats have to be fed, loved, and cuddled, and every so often, we
simply DO have to sleep!

You think these guys are bad, you should see the Woodworking group. I don't
know how these guys get any work done, they're so busy yakking. Nothing
worse than a bunch of chatty old men talking about their wives (SWMBO).
There must be a 100 new messages every hour in that group.

Don't feel bad. I've never had time to read even 10% of the messages here!

I don't either. I usually skim, looking for new threads, specific people,
or threads I've responded to.

I've actually configured my newsreader to bump responses to my own posts
up to the top and color them bright red, which has saved me from missing
a lot of important info. Even if I don't have the chance to read
through every recent post, I can see those that pertain to me directly.

For 10 seconds or so I managed to read them all, and could refresh the page
at last! I had to do it very quickly!
You are right, Adrian, I don't have time to go back to work. I've always
found it difficult to manage to work on top of everything else. Like my 18
huts of rare breed chickens, my pair of geese, my cats, my 1/4 acre garden
and all the things that get a bit neglected like the housework ;-P

However, it's official. I am going back to work on Tuesday...
I can't say I want to. but I suppose I'm lucky to have a job.

Tweed

Purrs for your successful transition back to the dreadful world of work.
And for KFC and BF to quickly forgive you for your neglect.

Just think, though, with luck you might be able to honourably retire at
60 before the Govt. up civil service retirement age to 65!

Our thoughts will be with you
