I couldn't get on all morning either. I figured I was banned for Apathy, but hey, who cares?

“In the 1920s, Americans used soap flakes to clean their laundry. The flakes performed poorly in hard water, leaving a ring in the washing machine, dulling colors, and turning whites gray. Procter & Gamble began an ambitious mission to change the way Americans washed their clothes. Researchers discovered two-part molecules which they called synthetic surfactants. Each part of the “miracle molecules” executed a specific function—one pulled grease and dirt from the clothes, while the other suspended dirt until it could be rinsed away. In 1933, this discovery was introduced in a detergent called “Dreft,” but it could only handle lightly soiled jobs. The next goal was to create a detergent that could clean heavily soiled clothes. That detergent was Tide®.

Created in 1943, Tide detergent was the combination of synthetic surfactants and “builders.” The builders helped the synthetic surfactants penetrate the clothes more deeply to attack greasy, difficult stains. Tide was introduced to test markets in October 1946 as the world’s first heavy-duty detergent. Consumer response was immediate and intense. Tide detergent outsold every other brand within weeks. It became so popular that store owners were forced to limit the quantity purchased per customer.

Tide detergent was improved 22 times during its first 21 years on the market, and Procter & Gable still strives for perfection.”

They don’t approve everyone for posting. I’ve no idea why.

The question is not ‘why’ but ‘how.’

That’s really strange.

Backhoe first mentioned the site one day on a old thread; I had no problem registering, and was able to post as soon as I signed up. IIRC, cookies have to be enabled, on medium or lower. Maybe backhoe can help.

I’ve had that problem with them for years. I’ve emailed the site directly. Even if it was to be resolved now, I lost interest in it at this point. Thanks though.

You’re welcome. I saw you on the yahoo site; for some reason I’ve problems there. First time I signed up as LucyT, but when I went back again, yahoo rejected the name, so I signed up as LucyTfr. I haven’t tried to post on yahoo.

Yes...I fear a redux of the late ‘70’s early ‘80’s or worse.

You're welcome. Yeah, guess it was difficult impossible to read when FR was offline.

I bookmark it every time we are off the air, then can’t find it.

And I was ready to post lots of stuff to both of my threads, talk about useless time on my hands.
