Does FR need a ZOT category? (Vanity)

I have a wee tiny suggestion for Free Republic.

Is it at all possible to have a ZOT category, just as for General chat, or smokey back room?

It would be genuinely nice to have a place where the shame of so many trolls could be put on public display!

Thanks Mods!

Say hi to the Alamo. Saw in the WSJ yesterday there's a little dispute over it.

And enjoy the Riverwalk. MUCH fancier than Redmond's.

80% tax increase? I concur — find an article and post it!

Awesome movie!!

And I’d never even heard of it before Sunday, when I mentioned the B-17 to another parishioner.

Igor was a font of information on all aspects of WWII. He had a wonderful gift of retention, and his personal history shows it.

Memphis Belle was one of his favorite subjects.

Arrrgh! Don’t know what’s going on, but we’ve been experiencing a number of brief power outages lately. Just had one that stopped my computer and several (but not all) clocks.

[Monkey Face]

That’s what surge protectors are for!!

“Just had one that stopped my computer and several (but not all) clocks.”

Hmmm...you don’t have a photo of Rep. Waxman in your home, do you? It could stop a clock. Not sure about the computer tho!

[sionnsar]

Actually, that's exactly what surge protectors are NOT for (though a lot of people think that).

Think of that hole near the top of a washroom sink. Its purpose is to drain off water when the water level gets too high, so it doesn't flood out of the sink. That's what a surge protector does for the electric supply to your devices; if the voltage gets too high, it bleeds off some of the electricity.

It doesn't prevent the sink from getting empty.

If I had a dartboard I might...but I don't.

And there goes the thread...

I’m HERE!!!

Don’t know how long I’ll last, but....

[fanfan]

I’m here too!

Just home from work.

Hi Y’all. :-)

[Monkey Face]

*huggy things, sis*

[fanfan]

Hi Sweety!

Are you feeling better?

*HUGS*

I was seeing my son off. He’s headed out of town for the weekend, with some friends. (shudder)

[Monkey Face]

I’m still really tired, but it will pass. I try not to get depressed by the symptoms. Some days, I just go to bed and stay there.

When I was growing up, I was in bed maybe 6 hours. *sigh*

How is your garden?

[fanfan]

I hope you feel better soon.

The garden was weird this year. It rained sooo much in July, and as of 2 weeks ago, all the tomatoes were green.

They are all going red at once!

We are going to plant some more garlic this fall though. It was the only plant that did really well in the veggi garden this year.

I haven't heard back from the US Embassy about sending fresh produce over the border.
I guess if you want to try some, you are going to have to come up and get it!

If I had a reliable vehicle, I’d be on the road in a heartbeat!!! I’d plan on staying at least two weeks!

[fanfan]

Two weeks?

Did I tell you I moved to Newfoundland?

[Monkey Face]

NO!!!
I was there once!!
