It’s about mothers-in-law and the F word. Crude and rude expression.

Off topic, is everyone here using the beta version of FR? I’ve had serious FR withdrawals for hours and saw the beta link version to here on the Yahoo group.

There are a ton of people out there who are unable to get FR to load.

Thanks. I found that via google. Very rude indeed.

I am using beta right now and am very happy. I was having serious with-drawls without FR and am happy to get on here with the beta version.

Yup. Access via "Site B". Strange thing is I'm already signed in on entry. Hmmm.

[Shelayne]

I am here thru Beta. I saw it on the yahoo site. *whew*

Is the regular site back up, or am I just one of the lucky ones that can’t get on? Yes, I am logged in. ;^)

I just learned the Beta version from the Yahoo Group, and THANK YOU, whoever you are who put it there.

I’ll repeat it here for anyone who might see it when FR is back to normal:

Make a note of it for future breakdowns.

Close but no cigar. It stands for Mother I would Like to....

The things we learn from teenagers.....

Don't know alpha from beta, but I was off for a least 2 hours. Was afraid Biden would step down and I'd miss it.

I've just gotten on after trying forever. Kept getting a Http 500 internal error, whatever that means. What is going on?

[editor-surveyor]

"is everyone here using the beta version of FR?"

No - I tried the beta, but the regular version is running about 1.5 times as fast right now. (it was waaay slow a few hours ago)

A link?

Not "in-law", but otherwise, yeah, that's it.

As more FReepers learn about the beta site, it is slowing down, like the main site.

“It’s about mothers-in-law and the F word.”

see my reply to Missy - the IL doesn’t stand for
In-Law. The whole acronym started about “hot mothers”, if you will. Other people’s mothers.

About the trouble getting onto FR - I KNOW - second time I had the same “withdrawal pains” on a Sunday evening for a few hours. If you find out more (or Jim Rob - give us a bulletin!!) let me know. I just assumed it was server problems or maintenance.

Let me know more about this, please! I’m not on yahoo, mostly just AOL. Thanks so much.
