You will get an email when someone wants to enroll, as do the rest of us, and the first of us to reply to it wins... You can also see the pending members place and membership stats that maybe you haven't seen before. I thought you were a moderator all along!

You have a couple more options, you can ban people now... and remove posts, I think, I have never done it.

If all the elf-friends start disappearing, I will become suspicious!

[Overtaxed]

you can ban people now...

MUWAHAHAHA!!! Give me the Precioussss or be banned! And all your messages deleted!

Wonder if this is how Haldir started out.

[HairOfTheDog]

I think it is exactly how Haldir started out!

I FRmailed you my standard instructions for joining that you can cut and paste if you get requests.

[2Jedismom]

Freepmail it to me too, would ya? I've lost mine.

Whooo hooo! I just finished PRIMING!

[2Jedismom]

Got em!

[HairOfTheDog]

I already did.... I cc'd you the first time! (I am so good!)

Oh... Jen and ecurbh, I sent it to you already too ;~D

[SuziQ]

I listen to Michael Medved pretty regularly, too, and I really like his program....You too?

I don't think his radio program is broadcast anywhere around here, but I guess I'll check sometime. I used to listen to Rush faithfully, but since we started homeschooling, I didn't want to disturb the kids while they're doing their work. When Sir SuziQ comes home for lunch, we'll turn it on for a little while, but that's about it. We usually just listen to music while they're working.

I heard his recommendation when he was doing a TV movie review show. We also liked "Big Night" which we watched on his recommendation. It starred Tony Shauloub, Stanley Tucci and Ian Holm. Have you seen the new mystery show on USA network "Monk" starring Tony Shaloub? It is about a former San Fran cop who was relieved of his duties afer his wife died because his obsessive-compulsive tendencies worsened and precluded him from working. He now does consulting with his former Captain, and his ob-con manner works great for solving murders. It is a wonderful show, and our kids watch it with us. It's usually on Friday nights at 10 Eastern, I think.

[SuziQ]

he is not being carried locally anymore. KVI put someone else locally in his time-slot.

Is it because he's a conservative?

[HairOfTheDog]

No, that's the thing! The station that carried him is an entirely conservative talk station... They carry Rush... and other conservative format talk shows. It just sounds really disloyal to not carry him in his hometown when he is broadcasting a national show!

[SuziQ]

The station that carried him is an entirely conservative talk station

Hmmm. That IS strange!

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

We have created an additional place for us to hang out for "casual hobbit hole talk", and share files and things that we can't trade here.

uhm, did I miss something?

[HairOfTheDog]

Not only do you already belong bear, but I have talked to you there! You silly Beorning! I am talking about the Yahoo site!

2J and I are doing a membership drive again, just to make sure we haven't missed anyone who might wanna join! We aren't going anywhere!

[HairOfTheDog]

heh, I guess the ad isn't written so well after all... Even the members don't know what I am talkin about! I will work on it before I post it again tomorrow!

[Corin Stormhands]

Even the members don't know what I am talkin about!

Gee, you confuse us, then kill the thread...hmmmm....

Having an awful evening. Had to go pick up Jr. from a football game (he was there for a band thing). Wife was working ticket sales for Christmas. So I dressed the little one for bed and we circle the parking lot, then parked and waited for about forty-five minutes. He's had a cold, but he finally stopped coughing and went to sleep. It wasn't until I got home that I realized he that thrown up. And he's done it at least once again since we've been home (Mom is holding him now).

[HairOfTheDog]

Oh poor Corin....

I liked the football games in band... That was a good time! Do they do half-time shows or just play from the stands? - Why did it run so late? - Overtime or something?

[2Jedismom]

Probably, if he's anything like my kids...they get that sputum stuck in their throat and then they throw up and it does them a world of good. Josh does it repeatedly, especially when he has a cold.

Poor little fella though, I know he's got some asthma problems....I hope he gets to feeling better...

[2Jedismom]

Your tune is beautiful! Great job on a brand new whistle!

[HairOfTheDog]

Do your little ones fall asleep easy in the car? - I know my mother said she would sometimes take me for a drive when I couldn't sleep or was cranky, because I would fall asleep within minutes on the trip!

[Corin Stormhands]

Why did it run so late?

This was middle school night at the high school game, so they played pep songs with the high school band from the stands. His band teacher said "be there to pick them up at 9:15." So, like I'm inclined to do, I got there at 9:00. After circling I finally found a parking spot and listened to the game. At 9:20 I heard them say "that's the end of the third quarter." I drove home to see if Mom was back yet (she wasn't, she was trying to call and tell me she'd get Jr.). I guess he threw up while I was driving. I just thought he'd gone to sleep.

[Corin Stormhands]

I hope he gets to feeling better...

Thanks. He'll be fine, but I'm sure it will be after much weeping and changing of pajamas...
