Catching up

[Andybev01]

I've been having trouble with the forum the last few days. It will randomly terminate my connection. Just wanted y'all to know I'm trying to visit.

Ditto.

I'd like to think that it's people trying to access the forums because 'tis the season, but I think we all know that that's not really the problem.

I'll be going to hang out with family starting tomorrow through Sunday, keeping the spirit alive.

I don't do FB, but I need to sign up, because another forum I had belonged to for over 20 yrs closed back in March, and the only way I could contact those women now is FB. There's just something about social media that puts me off. But I need to maintain some friendships.

Good to know that things are well with Witchy.

In case I can't get back on before Sat, happy Halloween to all!

Well, at least I know that I'm not the only person having issues with the forum, since Andy is a moderator here I'll leave it up to him to contact Chris about it.

Regarding Facebook, it's scary to think about how much personal information people there post that anybody can access at any time. Witchy has her entire profile available for anybody to read, but that's her choice. As I said before, you can make your profile private so that only your friends and family have access to it, and you don't have to put a photo of yourself there if you don't want to, so you can still have some privacy there if you want to sign up to stay in touch with your friends.

On a side note, I despise parrots that mindlessly repeat everything. I just thought that I'd mention that.

By the way, has anybody else noticed that there have been way too many celebrity deaths recently? In the past few days 2 Star Trek actors passed away, Walter Koenig and Patrick Stewart. It seems like famous people are dropping like flies lately.

It's as if the celebrity death 'rule of 3' is now 3.14.

It reminds me of the late summer/early fall of 1977, when a great many celebs passed. Two of the most prominent were Elvis Presley and Bing Crosby. This sort of thing does happen from time to time, who knows why. But, yeah, it's been rough. My family is still grieving Tim Curry, and now Patrick Stewart. Of course, Dolly made a deep.impression in TN, and magazines about her all over the stores I frequent. I hope they are all happy in the hereafter.
