Snow/Sleet = Bored as @#$%!!!
hey yall. guess what. its been sleeting ALL DAY and i am stuck at the house because the roads are so bad. i cant go outside and play like i would if it was snowing, because its much too cold and sleet hurts like needles when it blows into your face. even if i were to brave the roads and drive, my truck is covered with 1/2 inch of ice and it would take forever to scrape it all off. power outage is likely very soon and then i wont even be able to use the PC. i never hated snow/sleet so much in my life. it will probably be the same scenario all day tomorrow as well. ive done everything i can think of to keep from going insane, including playin with my yo-yo, but im bored out of my mind. anyone else having this problem?

You could take a thread from NeoStar's book, and try reading a little ?
Old technology, I know, but it works without batteries !

Level 2 Snow Emergency: roadways are hazardous because of blowing and drifting snow. Only those who feel it is necessary to drive should be out on the roadways. Employees should contact employers to see if they should report to work. If travel is necessary, drivers should travel with extreme caution.
Soon to be:
Level 3 Snow Emergency: All roadways are closed to non-emergency personnel. Travel is prohibited unless absolutely necessary. Contact your employer to see if you are expected at work. Reckless or unnecessary driving may be cited as a minor misdemeanor - failure to comply with a lawful order - and many lead to a $100 fine. If you are in an accident that causes an injury while driving illegally, you can be cited for a fourth degree misdemeanor.

Sorry to read about your present situation  Hoping the sun shines on your parade tomorrow. But this brings an interesting question. Being new to laptops, if the power went out, but you still had the phoneline, you'd be able to connect on dail-up til the battery ran down ??????? Maybe by then the power would come back on????

Thanks again surreal. I also just found out that they just closed the plant tomorrow so no worries. Now I can stay up late and play some HL or UT2K.
