Sprig Posted May 20, 2008 CID Share Posted May 20, 2008 Hi - found your site on a search for testing my dl and upld speeds. After 10 years on verrrry slow dialup, last month signed up with Wildblue. We live in a rural area - limited to what's available. WB is definitely much faster than dialup, but still feel that it's not quite performing as I thought it would. So thought I would check around to see if that's normal or I need to contact WB. This looks to be a very interesting and informative forum. Will probably take me lots of time to research it. Thanks for the Welcome! Sprig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRL Posted May 21, 2008 CID Share Posted May 21, 2008 Hey Everyone, I am a newbie here too, and wanted to drop in and say Hi and introduce my self. I got to this site from work, and I love all the cool things I am seeing so far. I think the owner is correct in saying that we may all just be here until the day we die, and I do hope to get some damn fun out of it too. Keep up the good work everyone and I will be around more when I have time. Your friend the LizardLady [glow=red,2,300][/glow] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRL Posted May 22, 2008 CID Share Posted May 22, 2008 Thanks everyone for making me feel so at home here! I used to have lizards two iguanas named Frankie and Louie after the Budwiser guys, they were real cool, but Louie fell off his perch and dilocated his shoulder, had the vet reset it, but once Frankie found out he was injured she wouldn't let him eat and he passed away. I got them for my son, who lost interest, and I didn't know alot about them, but sorry to say, I lost Frankie later that same year, to the cold winter. I didn't know she didn't have enough heat for her food. She had gotten up to about a foot long, (body only less tail) from when I purchased them at 3 weeks old and about 4 inches. I miss my guys, but I am now working to much and wouldn't be able to take care of them anyway. Oh well, such is life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
