Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the “word of the day”; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day.

That was the expected answer, and works for me as well. Served with our usual chilled adult beverage?

omelettes? ; )

Yeah I have been an pessimistic optomist my whole life. But I am anxious this time. This could rush a lot of plans that LE and I have worked on. LE please correct my spelling if necessary.

[VRWCmember]

The 200 people in line behind me at 7:00 AM were all but chanting No No No.

She HAS been missing...my, my!

Thanks for the info. I have two madrone trees that I planted. They grow very well, and are quite common in Bandera county. Most pines need some dirt to grow. The deepest soil on our property is not even a foot deep, and is only small pockets. Mostly, we are on exposed limestone bedrock. I only plant native stuff, because it is all that will grow.

I get a kick out of the townies who move here from SA, haul in dirt and plant St. Augustine grass. If it doesn't die in the cold the first winter, then it runs out of dirt and dies the next spring, but they just keep planting it again and again. One neighbor down the road has re-planted his an astonishing six times. Clueless...needs to call a landscape expert and let them tell him he might as well plant the stuff on a concrete slab covered with potting soil, water it in the summer until the soil washes away, then put it into the freezer for the winter.

Gotta do some investigating. There is a big YES banner down in the lobby, and I heard that our state PAC contributed $150,000. If so, I will be dropping my contributions immediately.

If your freepmail worked at work I'd have you edit all my massages fer spilling.

[VRWCmember]

My freepmail doesn't work at work either, but I found if I freepmail myself an email (usually just the letter m), it takes me to my freepmail inbox where I can read my freepmails and delete the junkmail I send to myself just for the purpose of tricking my system into letting me see my freepmail.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Yep

[VRWCmember]

Actually it works if I freepmail anybody, but I figure rather than sending decoy junkmail to others just so I can see my freepmail, I freepmail myself a decoy message to get to my inbox.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Try that.

[VRWCmember]

I discovered this little trick by accident. Whenever I saw that I had mail, I would try to go to my inbox and got an error message from my firewall that blocked access to other mail servers. But then one day when I decided to send a private reply to another poster, I saw that as soon as I sent it, the browser put me in my inbox where I was able to see my freepmails. Since then, I use this trick whenever I see that I have freepmail. (Several times today in fact)

[Laura Earl]

No go.....

[Conspiracy Guy]

I think LE bailed out but we'll have her try it tomorrow. Private Reply to self then put in 1 letter or number then send then press OKay onmessage sent but's you there.
