and I'm waiting for #7 to turn a WU. It's a 533 Celi and the protein it's running right now is taking forever. :wtf:

Look for that trend line to go up in about a week, when I get #8 built. :D

Are you sure you're a human and not just a mechanized PC assembly line? :hair:

//edit: D'OH! I just noticed that you're currently ranked 177 and I'm currently 178!

;) "mechanized PC assembly line" Some of friends and relatives may think that. ;D

I got the builders bug, and then got real serious about running F@H. :)

I was folding on another team for awhile. Nice people and good team but they lacked the enthusiasm I was looking for, so I thought I'd come here and give you all a run for your money. :vimp:


So, now I'm doing something good for humanity and having some fun at it too. :cool2:

Damn... I need to build six more rigs!

Actually, I just switched my secondary rig's production over to S-M, and when I build my primary rig, I'll have that production going toward S-M... I'll still be nowhere close to BDR!

You've definitely found a place with ENTHUSIASM!

Indeed I have! :D

I love logging in and seeing all those new posts in the Team Short-Media folder. :thumbsup:

You got a great team here.. no.. _we_ got a great team here.:cool2:

That caused what I like to call "explosive laughter" when I read it ;D

BDR, if going up that steep incline is too much for you, feel free to switch a box over to "GeneralKeebler" any time you like ;) :p

omg, if I ever came to the folding forum one morning and there'd been no new points since the night before I'd... I'd... well, I don't know what I'd do, but it wouldn't be pretty. ;D

Whoa? BDR is of the feminine persuasion?

Yes Ma'am!

/me showers, shaves, put on deodorant, cologne and some nice clothes.

So, um, BDR, where ya from? You like computer nerds?

Seriously, that's some good production there. What are the specs of your machines?

(I know what you mean about enthusiasm. I fold on a team w/ some buddies of mine, but they're not enthusiastic about it like the SM guys are.)

I'm from Illinois. The land of cornfields, wheat and Lincoln.

Do I like computer nerds? I am one, so of course I like them.
Not only am I female, I am probably old enough to be "mom" to most of you all here.

// Edit: Forgot to post my specs.

Athlon 1700+ @ 2.3GHz (NF7-S Rev2.0)
Athlon 1700+ @ 2.3GHz (NF7-S Rev2.0)
Athlon 1700+ @ default (ECS L7S7A2)
Pentium 4 1600 @ 2.133 (MSI 845eMax2)

I'll be losing the 1700+ running @ default speeds soon, but hopefully I can bring back my old p3 500MHz and add another 1700+ running @ default or slightly overclocked.

Lol..

Guys, I'm old enough to be your Mom. I've been married over 20 years. I'm a grandma of 2 girls and 1 boy. Ok.. now that that's in the open..

I'm also a computer nerd and have been for 6 years.
I build my own.
I am a F@H fanatic.

So, I guess I'm a rip snortin', pc buildin', F@H runnin' Granny.


;D

Sheesh, now I'm makin' myself feel old. :(

oh, and my name is Brenda. :wave:

Maybe... maybe... I'll have a chance... I'm going to add three rigs folding for me soon, and I'm converting my sister's rig to XP, so I'll start running it as a service with -advmethods and -forceasm instead of the graphical client I've got on there... so just maybe... :ninja:

GHoosdum...

Keep trying mate :thumbsup: but I think BDR is flying just a little too fast for you to keep up with ...

Infact.. I think alot of our team are gonna see her fly past their stats :eek:

It's all good :fold:

BDR
22 Aug 2003, 4:43pm
If I inspire some of the Folders on this team to run more, better, or faster, then like Shorty said "it's all good". :fold: :thumbsup:

Going back to the enthusiasm mentioned earlier by BDR. I am tempted to switch to #93 (once I establish a large enough lead over my friends) because they don't have anywhere near the same level of enthusiasm.

However, I don't think I can afford to buy machine after machine like BDR can. I've got two trucks . . . one brand new, and being under 25 and male is a KILLER on insurance too. Also, I don't qualify for multi-vehicle discount because I'm under 25. What a rip! You get screwed coming and going, eh? Hopefully I can commandeer a few machines and that won't cost me any $. :D

Geico gives me a multi-vehicle discount, and I'm 23 and not married. You might want to consider changing insurance companies...

Yeah... I've been storing an AMD 1800+ for a friend. (Which means, yes, I can't overclock it)

I have to give it back once school starts (9/5) But seeing BDR catching up so fast to me is getting old.... I'll make it take .38seconds longer.

She folds, she overclocks, she builds nearly as many computers as IBM, Compaq, and Dell combined and she still has time to be wife, mom, and grandma!:wow2:

BDR,
that's damn impressive! Where do you find all the time?!:scratch:

I guess it's time to get off my lazy butt and get my two machines to help out with the "SM Cause." I've been remiss so far, but I guess I really have no excuse.

Thanks GHoosdum!

I've been meaning to leave that sorry excuse rip-off agency disguised as an insurance company, State Farm, ever since they ripped me a new one last year when my truck was vandalised! I just haven't had the time to research it, but I really should as I hate giving those leeches money just to rip me off. I'd rather save a few bucks and be ripped off by someone else than pay full price to be ripped off. ;D

So, to anyone out there that has State Farm . . . be ye warned, they suck!

"Like a bad neighbor, State Farm kicks you in the balls."

Well, the State Farm slogan is: Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there.

But really State Farm just rapes you in the @$$!

I agree. They really are a bad neighbor. I used to have State Farm... but as soon as I made a claim, they dropped me from the insurance policy because I made my money back from them... Geico treats me much better.

Good luck, a2j... ;)

I wonder why that slogan never caught on. It's a catchy little jingle. Maybe something like this...

"And like a gay hillbilly neighbour State Farm rapes you in the @$$...."

Edit: For those of you that are current or former military or have parents who were, I highly recommend USAA. They make even GEICO "squeal like a pig."

Ok, I know I'm getting way off topic so this is going to be my last post about this (unless I really really really wanna post again (don't shoot me shorty/prime :))

Only claim I ever filed was when my truck was vandalized.

I have no speeding tickets. No parking tickets. Nothing! My record is clean! I am the kind of driver they WANT. But they still screwed me over. Jerks!

Thanks, GHoosdum :)

Well, only reason I can think of why that jingle didn't catch on is because State Farm is a lying sack of crap and they don't tell the truth, therefore the jingle was never heard of until today. :D

I have grandparents that are former military, does that count?

Unfortunately, I just went to their website.

And it only mentions parents and spouses, not grandparents.:bawling:
