I just spent alot of time posting!
I see that, looks like you hit a small bump.

What happened?
Well, someone set up us the bomb?
I'm serious!
Oh, well.. looks like your post got pulled.
Augh! I spent alot of effort on that! How did it happen?!
Couldn't be because you were doing it wrong?
What the, how'd you get that video of m-- uh.. I don't even wear that!
Right Skippy. *cough* Well, since you asked, here's how posts get removed.
First, if it is against TOS it gets seen.
Then it gets marked.
Okay, I have that much.
Then the mods gather:
Pictured, mods gathering.
I don't think that's how it looks, I..
Look, do you want an answer or not?
...Yes?
Right, carrying on.
Then they back their vehicle up to your post.
Whoah! What the heck is that thing?!
It's a machine, that eats other machines.
With this:
I don't see what this has to do with my post vanishing, can you tell me wha-
Watch it question boy! I have a flamethrower!
You want to vanish like your dog did?
What the?! No, not Roozer too!
To be fair, your dog WAS drunk.
What?! Who would even... please don't point that flamethrower at me.
Right, and after they saw your post off the entire forum, they set it on fire.
Wait.. that man. His face, and fire! Oh GOD WHY?!
Oh, HIS post was all about his face, so the mods set it on fire.
After that, they used the ashes to open a gate between our world and theirs, like this:
BLECH! That's horrible!
And those tentacles! GAAAH!
If you think that's bad, you should see what happens when the mods get their hands on a bad thread.

Oh look, here comes a mod now.
Looks like they want to ask you about that thread you just posted.
Gaaah! Tell them I'm indisposed!
Pictured: Moderator, dunno which one.
Tell them yourself, they're right behind you.
Wait, don't run away!
We haven't gotten to what happens when they edit your thread title!
This concludes our sordid fictional tale.
If you liked that, we have plenty more in the book "Oh the horrible things you'll summon!" rumored to be written by IamnotaMod

I was inspired by this thread for a new tag line.
A head hair day is all in your head.
By the way...I decided today that as soon as I get a swimsuit, I am definitely going to the local pool several times a week. It’s only $1 per visit for us ol’ fogies, or 30 visits per $20 card, so it’s reasonable enough that I can afford it.
And the pool hours are good: 5:00 am to 8:00 pm M-F, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm on Sat and 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm on Sun. I doubt I will go on Sundays, though. Early weekday mornings will be good.
I need to find something that will help get my BP down a little faster.
Sounds like a good plan. I plan to go swimming again tomorrow. My feet still hurt too much for any other exercise.
I think it will be good for me in the long run. Especially since I’m an excellent swimmer. I just need to build up my stamina so I can do more than 10 strokes without gasping for breath! LOL!
The 30 visit cards are good for a year from date of issue, so that will give me time to rest between the first few visits. Rome wasn’t built in a day, ya know!
I love your plans for Bill...Somehow, I don’t think you will have the same kinds of problems with Tom... ;o]
If you can do the breast-stroke, it’s not tiring. One naturally tends to resurface, and even a little forward motion will get you down the pool eventually.
:o]
So I can rest without even leaving the water. I just worry about my skin getting pruney!
or ON it... ;-)
I find it extremely relaxing to float! Maybe you can take water-aerobics.
In other news, I got the appointment to turn in the girls’ passport applications ... in mid-June! The man on the phone said they should be issued in time for a trip in Sept. or Oct. It’s too bad we don’t have a Federal courthouse nearby. When I got mine in ‘03, I went to the courthouse in Tulsa.
Can't you do the passport thing by going to a post office?
Yes, some Post Offices accept passport applications. However, they do so only by appointment. To make an appointment, you have to get them to answer the phone. At the PO nearest our house, they don’t answer the phone, and you can’t leave a message. Sometimes it’s busy, because others also imagine they might someday answer ... . Not only that, to file an application for minors, both parents have to be present ...during the hours when working people are, like, working.
Fortunately, there’s a post office near where my husband works, where you could leave a message, and the guy actually called back the same day, although my husband had given them my cell number instead of his. At least it wasn’t buried in my purse and inaudible at the time ...
At the Federal Courthouse, at least, you can take a number and wait.
I take a number of numbers, and sell them to late arrivals. It's usually enough for lunch.
.
(No, I don't do that. But I want credit for having thought of it.)
It’s a clever notion. Selling food and beverages would be good, too!
Best be careful with that or the Bunko Squad will visit you for running a numbers racket... ;-)
They only worry you if you’re being competitive with the State Apparatus. All the time I save people, the State confiscates anyway. They can’t lose.
FR just took a long nap. I see it is again awake.. ;-)
I took a long nap, too.
I didn’t get much sleep, but I took a lot of naps.
Good morning. I have to get dressed, now that it’s light, before everyone sees me in my pink flamingo pajamas.
