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!

I don’t go into Seattle often, and even less frequently that deep, so I don’t have anything in the way of pictures.

I’m sure we can find a skyline panorama and an aerial view of the CG base online.

And now have to retract this. Taken January 2002 with a visiting Chinese colleague and LoM. You can get an idea of the setting.

[Tax-chick]

Taco Del Mar. I love it!

[sionnsar]

That is exactly where it is. *\;-)

[Tax-chick]

Doesn’t that make the tacos soggy?

[sionnsar]

Dunno. Never tried one. Besides, doctor sez cut down on sodium (salt) — not like I’ve already been doing that for some years now.

It looks like a wet place in the picture. Anoreth was hoping for a post to the Caribbean, but at least they’ll be cruising south for the winter. She knows better than to fall for any Latinos guapos ... church is full of them!

This was taken in January/February in Seattle. It is really wet here then. (It is, of course ALWAYS WET AND RAINING IN SEATTLE -- please tell your lib friends, except when it isn't and when that occurs is a conservative secret -- except we can be wrong too.)

Note the lack of snow. Bad sign. We don't do "snow" very well here.

[Tax-chick]

It’s wet here that time of year, too. And cold. Perhaps the cutter “Mellon” will be in Chile next January.

[Tax-chick]

Good night! I hope you have a successful week ahead. I’ll have to act like we’re getting some school-stuff done.

Seattle is not bad. GORGEOUS summers like she'll see nowhere else (except maybe Alaska, but at least here the sun does go down mid-summer so you can sleep at night).

IMHO there is no better summer than Seattle's. For all I have had to deal with a total of A DOZEN (that's 12) mosquito(e)s this summer. No ticks (we have 'em) or chiggers (we don't). No venomous snakes. Woods are generally safe if you're prepared to deal with bears or mountain lions (mostly true for cities too -- *non-human* wildlife is regularly reported in downtown Seattle). If you aren't given to standing too long in any one place, mountain beavers won't bother you either. *\;-)

Winters, well, dark (remember we have lots of BIG & TALL trees, usually no snow, and cloud cover so no stars). That's the killer for most folks. Some, like, us, survive.

[sionnsar]

Good night. I’m not on much longer. Have a great book, “Shahnameh”, to continue.

"...and I heard a loud, “Scritch, scritch, scritch.”

LOL! Cute story. With all this cat talk, I'm tempted to visit North Shore Animal League to ceck out the orphan kitties. Never did replace my Nels, because she's irreplaceable. We'll see.

[Tax-chick]

My kids are nagging for another kitten, as if we didn't have plenty of pets already.

[Monkey Face]

Well! Thanks! He loves kittehs! And he drives a Stryker!
whoo-HOO!

[Monkey Face]

I’m sorry kids. The T-storms were getting pretty close and I had to shut down yesterday.

We’re having a split monsoon season, for some reason.

[Tax-chick]

Good morning. We’re organizing schoolwork today.

[fanfan]

Good morning.

Heading out to do chores soon.

[Tax-chick]

I have a week of sunny-and-90 forecast, but if it clouds up, they’ll change it to “chance of thunderstorms.” It looks like the East Coast is clearing for my relatives’ trips to New Jersey.
