I'm about to lose my internet for a few days

So, I’ll go with Buffalo.

Oh! Whatever.

I’ve been without mine for the last few days.. Bitch bitch bitch.. That is all you do..

Have fun finishing moving.. Again, sorry I am busy this weekend too, so I can’t help out.

I'm still out so screw both you guys!

No cable/internet/phone, broadcast television can suck it.

You need to be more optimistic

You still get to look forward to the opportunity of having your power finally turned back on. I don’t have the excitement of that anticipation anymore.

Perhaps this pie chart will explain what I mean a little better…

I have power

But the cable’s still out. Love the pie though.

The cable being out has brought me closer to my family and….who am I kidding, it’s just made me better at Tiger Woods 09.

Wii?

You stop bitching too.. At least your company knows to have a generator. I spent Sunday night in the office waiting for power, spent Monday talking to 50 people about how to bring servers back up (like we’ve never done it before) and most of Monday night into Tuesday Morning finally getting power and bringing everything back up.

So suck it. :)

PS3

And it’s not my fault your company has no disaster planning. :)

I can’t believe how dumb some companies are when it comes to that stuff, really.

Yep.

We’ve put a generator in our budget every year for the past 6 years. The business keeps pushing back. Well, that 350k generator would have paid off on Monday when no one could work and we couldn’t process claims.

Denver will be my week 3 pick.

Cincinnati will win this week. Really, I mean it this time.

My (now 0-2) beer league fantasy team will once again surpass the league not leading point total of 53 points accumulated mostly by Brian Westbrook alone last week.

Tanzen!

Don't I have you this week?

Man the Beer League is fun. I love me some Kurt Warner.

fun?

i lost Tom Brady after he gave me a whopping 3 points and then my backup, Vince Young, was too busy hugging his mommy to score any points at all. then Tarvaris Jackson got benched. so im on my 4th string QB of this young season, some mick from San Fran named O’Sullivan.

QB..

I’ve got a couple decent ones.. I’ve been waiting to find my backup. But who would seriously think the 37 yr old Kurt Warner would have this kind of start?

I am looking for a WR.. Whatcha got?

im pretty thin at WR too

it seems everyone is when you can start 4 of them. i do have a quality backup RB in Earnest Graham. i’ll trade him for Delhomme. whuddaya say?

Two gimme picks this week (see 3 Fast and 'Than)

And seeing as I’m much more confident in Eli than Matt Cassell, I’m going with the G-Men to destroy the Bengals 31-13.

New England

Power ….. still …… out.

Don’t some of you fellow RRs live in Clintonville? Am I the only neighborhood still in the dark?

Damn AEP!!!

sorry pal

im in Hilliard and i never lost power. its been really strange, because it seems like the rest of the city is still on its knees and hardly felt any effects from it. good luck though.

I'm in Dublin right off Tuttle Crossing

and I didn’t get my power back until Tuesday even though the places across the street never lost theirs.

I actually got the woman from AEP to laugh

when I called this morning to ask if I get a prize for being the last among 2.3 million to have their power restored.

Grandview wasn't hit bad

The Statcave never lost power. I did play tennis under the lights at Whetstone Park on Tuesday a block away from many who were still without power. I felt a little guilty. Then I went home and used the internet while watching TV in the air conditioning and drank ice water from my fridge.
