I believe the site's issue was due to a lapsed security certificate. Probably didn't get renewed on time. Looks like DeadBishop has it all fixed up now. I hope he and his wife are doing ok.

glad I gave this another try! I thought it was a done deal. Glad to see it up and running. WIsh it was more active as it was back in the day. things are good...planning spring and summer events so that is always fun. Stay well, all

[RefMom3]

All's well,so far, anyway. Getting ready for granddaughter's first birthday this weekend

[KiltedPrivateer]

Yep, the site seems to be running smoothly at the moment. I'm with you @laedyfaire, I wish it were as lively as it used to be. Unfortunately, today's instant gratification social sites get all of the attention.

But you know, maybe these older internet forums will get their own Renaissance. Trends are unpredictable. They could become trendy again. Who knows!

Maybe they will! It was so much fun to come here and see/read the latest pics and rants and jokes.

You know what they say...everything old is new again.
And the birthday was fun; Baby Chloe just went with the flow

glad to hear it Ref Mom

So it was near 80 in the Chicago 'burbs on Friday, with severe winds and stormy weather at night, today (Saturday) hazy with the dust swirled up by the 70mph winds yesterday, and temps near 70, and tomorrow we may have snow Gotta love the transition months 

[laedyfaire]

whoah..those are some differences... 80 to snow !!

[KiltedPrivateer]

Some crazy weather swings this spring

[laedyfaire]

I've got buds on trees up here in the Hudson Valley. and I have a pond by me and the crickets are in full swing!

[RefMom3]

To further our unsettled current weather, we hit 70 on Tuesday, then yesterday temps were in the 40s, with that kind of slushy rain that is trying to be snow, then tornado watches for most of the day with an actual warning with the sirens going off around 5:15pm. I was at work and we had to get all of our patrons off of the computers (NOT an easy task!) and they either had to leave or go into the lower level. Gracious. My trees have been budding for a few weeks.

... tornado watches for most of the day with an actual warning with the sirens going off around 5:15pm...

Scary!
We are in pollen down here in the south. The world has a green/yellow tint to it.

oh my!!  trying to get folks off a computer under a tornado warning! now that is a challenge!

Our director reminds us not to argue; if they choose to sit there, secure the place the best we can, and head down to the lower level. We humans can be a really daft species.

[laedyfaire]

yup...there you go...you've been warned..proceed at your own risk...its all you can do

[RefMom3]

I hope it's not a bad omen that I finished my taxes on April Fool's Day.

We have been horrible Procrastinators this year. Usually we have them done in February, March at the latest. But we've found ourselves overwhelmed this year. We will be doing ours next week. Almost last minute.

[laedyfaire]

good luck to you both..I know I owe almost 3,000...and on SS...so deliberately waiting to file.

That hurts. We owed over 7k last year. That was a shock. We've since adjusted our withholding. Hopefully we break even this year.

[RefMom3]

Good luck to you all; it's such a trepidatious time of year. My dad died when I was 2, and my brother was 6 mos. and mom was expecting our youngest brother. She used insurance to pay off the house, then we lived on social security until she went to nursing school when I was about 14. I asked her once how she managed, and she said every month she wrote the checks, and said a prayer when she mailed them. That's probably not financial advice most experts would give

She is amazing, and has an occasionally sassy sense of humor. It's one of her best things

One of my dad's brothers was a pompous sort of guy, and she asked him once who he was voting for. She said he very happily talked for several minutes about the election and his candidate's qualities, then asked her if that helped. She said yes; she wanted to know who he was voting for so she could vote for the other guy. The rest of the group in the room laughed, but his jaw just dropped
