No. But that sure sounds like fun!

This sounds like something you want to happen, but for whatever reason may not happen. You are planning on retiring?

No.

Re: Can anyone guess what my big news is?

There are no pregnancies involved. (If I were pregnant, it would take an act of God....)

Your news is that you've already become a guy, then?

b) you are going to have a sex change.

No.

Oops, guess not.

I tried this during one of my many trips to Singapore. Very unsettling at first, but very relaxing after a short while. Of course, then the place just had to do a foot massage, which really hurt. The "therapist" hauled out his reflexology charts (total crap) and was convinced that something in my foot indicated a digestive problem. Nope, sorry, all the plumbing's just fine.

God, please, no. The world has too many Oracles already.

Finally, there is a remote chance that it won't come to fruition. Either way, in January I'll spill the beans.

So it it's novel, not biological, is kind of event-ish, and could be answered "yes" or "no." I got it: you're saying that, come January, there will elapse a full week in which you won't chronicle your wireless router woes on KFN?

You are going to meet, or host, a celebrity or very famous person (actor, politician, the Pope) ... ?

You guys make me ROFLMFAO.

No. However, I've been told I have balls so many times you'd think I already WAS a guy. That's why whenever I'm addressed as "he" or "him" on a forum, and then point out that I'm female, and am met with "Really?!", I usually say "Hold on a second while I check..."

b) you are going to have a sex change.

No.

Oops, guess not.

It sounds a little off-putting, you know?

Okay.

:P For your information, it's been almost a week already! (I think.) And not only that, but I don't expect to HAVE any more router woes. (Did you read my update on the networking board? I bought a new LinkSys router and five minutes after receiving it I was up and running--flawlessly. Yay!)

No. But I do live in the Los Angeles area, so you never know--it could happen just out of the blue. (YEARS ago, I saw--and photographed, without getting slugged--Madonna and Sean Penn at the Beverly Center in LA. Back then you actually had to use film in your camera.)

or ... you are going to take a trip/vacation you've always wanted to go on ... ?

No. Sounds good, though.

This is an entirely believable statement.

And it would appear we've come to learn, at least in this thread, that each and every time you check, the results will be the same. It's these comfortable nuggets of certainty that help make the world go round, you know? (Oh, wait, YoDoKnow. Or YouDoKnowbowntow. Or something like that.)

That was my initial reaction, too. But after just a few moments the feeling became pleasurable. After 15 minutes with the small 2" fishes, they move you to the tank with the big 6" suckers. That was, well, a whole 'nuther experience

I saw! Congratulations. You'll learn to hate consumer networking gear as much as I do.

You turn 65 in January and start collecting social security.

Yes indeed.

I can only imagine. Actually...I think I'd rather NOT.

Thanks. I failed to mention in the networking thread that I totally skipped the "Start with this CD! Run the installation wizard before plugging anything in!" part. Bah! I didn't even break its seal.

I guess I've been very lucky. As you know, the wireless router that recently died was the first and only router I've ever had--and it was 5+ years old. Other than that, other networking gear (NICs, cables, modems, etc.) I've just never had any issues with, and we're talking about 25+ years. Yes, there was that modem that got fried during a thunderstorm because I didn't unplug the phone cord from it, but that was my fault, not the modem's!

Re: Can anyone guess what my big news is?

Ok, I think I've figured it out.

You are in negotiations with a party which is offering you big money for your on-line business and the signing date is in January. IF things go well you'll get a nice wad of money for you business and copyrights that you can use for what ever.

Re: Can anyone guess what my big news is?

My guess is that you are going to work for Canonical to help develop Kubuntu .
