Ok to be honest this is a post I started on another board, but I thought I'd bring it hear to get a discussion going. I hope this gets some chatting going on here. :-)

The purpose of this topic is to discuss the mountains we make out of mole hills. For example....

Today I get up, turn on the computer and it boots up but I hear a weird chirping sound.. Thought it was a figment of my imagination at first.. Then I not only see the Windows XP welcome screen, but I hear the PC speaker beep too.. usually hearing a beep from the speaker is very bad news. I click on something once, I get a whole bunch of copies of that one thing I clicked on, just once. First thought.. My mouse is messing up. Well it's a USB mouse so I unplug it, plug it back in..Works fine. I reboot the computer.. It chirps again, load up windows, mouse is acting up.. So I unplug it plug it back in..Same thing, unplug again, plug into a different USB port.. Works fine. Restart the computer again, reset the bios.. Then the chirping go's away at first.. Until I see the Welcome screen.. BEEP! First thought.. Dang! Must be a virus. I wait about a minute and a half because that seems to be when I get control of my computer again. I go to www.norton.com attempt to download their virus scanner.. Takes forever to download then.. I find out the version I downloaded doesn't work with Windows XP. DOH! So I power down the computer.. Started thinking.. What if I unplug my keyboard.. So I unplugged the keyboard and everything started up like normal.. Then I'm thinking dang keyboard, peice of crap! I power everything down and plug it back in, works fine. Guess I went through a little too much just to discover my keyboard wasn't properly seated in it's port. LOL

So anyone else have any such horror stories? :-)

lol, that's funny.

hmm, what have I done? Hmm, well let's see, there was the time I uploaded an ikonboard only to discover it was the earlies possible version of iKonboard that crashed instantly...or there was the time that I tried to install wBB only to find that my webhost didn't support PHP(pretty funny story considering I ended up installing iKonboard and it was actually the story above... That's about it.....

I like the frosted wheaties sometimes, but not plain ones!

Even salted Wheaties would probably taste better than plain Wheaties.. Plain Wheaties are just discusting.

hmm, would you slide down face down or face up?(I think it would make a difference if you know what I mean.....:D)

actually, I wouldn't do either of those....

Wait, is it rubbing alchol or is it drinking kind, the drinking stuff helps clean it out, and numbs pain, but if its rubbing, THAT IS GOING TO BURN LIKE A MEEF
