What were your symptoms during DU withdrawal

[WestHoustonDem]

I developed a nervous twitch over my refresh button

[snot]

1. Me too!

& v. worried about hackers.

[PartyPooper]

2. Do you mean when DU went down tonight?

I was frustrated and had a drink and a cigarette.

I even went over to that "other place" (which I NEVER do)...I just wanted to see what the hell was going on!

:D

[bobbieinok]

3. worried about my computer---rebooted; worried about an attack vs DU

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

5. Thought Asshat broke into Skinner's house and raided the server! WTF!

[greatauntoftriplets]

6. I thought that too....

But everything else worked fine. Assumed it was DU.

[classof56]

27. Exactly what I did!

What a relief to see it finally come back to me. It was a mighty tense hour or so there! Now I can look forward to googling this post sometime in the future. Woo-hoo!

[BlueJazz]

4. I was thinking of selling my Computer. I mean, what good ...

....would it be without DU?

[NRaleighLiberal]

7. Feeling lost....depression...restlessness!!!!

[proud patriot]

8. Alert withdrawl

:evilgrin:

[tandot]

9. I thought Homeland Security broke into DU and took all our names

so they can all sent us to concentration camps...

The Bush administration is already getting rid of dissenters inside their administration and CIA. Wait a little while and they'll get rid off any dissenters in general.

10. Calm. Peace. Serenity. You people are fucking weird.

Sites go down all the time.

13. YUP... Poker time with the kid

Won 35 cents!

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

14. DS1, it's called sarcasm. Ha. Ha. Ha.

[Ladyhawk]

11. I just kept hitting the link repeatedly.

It didn't work. :)

[distantearlywarning]

12. I took the opportunity to visit that Free Republic site...

...that I hear so much about on this board. And I learned a couple of things:

1) Some of those people are total fruitcakes. And the other 15% are just as arrogant and snotty as they claim the liberal "elite" to be.

2. They sure squabble among themselves a lot. This is particularly apparent in threads involving any kind of proposed policy based on religion (i.e., stem cell research, abortion, Arlen Spector, etc...) Reading those threads gives me hope that the Republican party might eat itself over the next 4 years without any help from anybody else.

15. LOL. Hee hee.

[Cerridwen]

16. I blogged and watched West Wing - thank heavens for West

Wing re-runs.

[johnaries]

19. I couldn't get into BBV, either... anyone else? n/t

[WestHoustonDem]

21. Phew - for a minute I thought I missed an episode!

Two and a Half Men was pretty funny though

[marylanddem]

17. Felt like my fragile link to sanity

suddenly evaporated!

[Jack Schitt]

18. Dang. I thought it was just me.

But it seems as though many suffered the same thing.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

20. I went shopping and found a sale on one of my favorite websites

I'm glad the outage didn't last any longer, or I'd be broke.

[OhMcNo]

22. Refresh, refresh and refresh.

Oh, and did I mention the cold sweat?

[progmom]

23. I beat people up...

...on Grand Theft Auto.

I think I have built up a healthy dose of aggression since the "election".

:mad:

[Lone_Star_Dem]

24. Refresh, Refresh and Peeked in over at Freeperville

Wow, those people there are really bent!

[Spiffarino]

25. I ran over to CU

They have this running commentary on DU. When it went down they ran over to the Panic Room so they could riff on how "pathetic" DUers are because they don't have a life. Yep. That's what they said.

From the mouths of the ironically challenged to God's ear.

26. I used the time to install an Avant browser, which I am using now

A new browser-now THAT'S SCARY!:scared:

It's

FAST!

28. Turned 'tinfoil' for the very first time.

:tinfoilhat:

Tried to rationalize it out. Then went nuts going to every site I could think of that might have a mention of why DU was down. I figured everyone else was doing the same thing and someone would have left a message for us somewhere. No one did! I was :scared:

Now I'm OK, but I still need a drink to calm down. Too bad I can't drink. ;)
