Where is everyone? I seem to be the only one on here so late and so early each day. Maybe we should start a new night shift thread. It really feels like a ghost town some nights.

Well, hell, I'm still up and about, but not for long.

Had a bad day at the dentist.

It got real bad when I saw the bill. No insurance.

Oh well, teeth happens.

Umm, there's a cocktail lounge on the left, a few doors down.
But they have no internet access...

It might account for a few

It's summer. People are outside all day and they are tired...so they sleep.

I would not recommend making a new night shift thread. It will just get deleted like the others.

Because people were basically using it as a chat thread. They would post EVERY night about 10-15 times. The thread was HUGE and just wastes bandwidth. Especially when there is a Chat feature on the site.

The sad part is that nobody is ever on the chat room.

Ever see a Bruce Willis flick titled "The Last Boyscout"?

He wakes up in his car, looks in the mirror, and says:

"Nobody likes you. Everybody hates you. SMILE, you ****!!!"


That's how I get up most days, and the day proves me wrong. Look at it that way, and you never get disappointed!

If youre in the military, they are cheap. If youre civilian, you may or may not even be considered to be allowed in there, but it wont be at the military rate. If youre military, just fly space-A...for about $5, you'll be on your way to hawaii.

Ahh..on post housing is the only way the military gets treated better than the civilians who work for the military.
