Geeze, it's about time, Tim! Are these monsoonal rains? "Tis the season... Actually a little late, I think. If so, we will probably finally start getting our afternoon thunder storms up here.

Yikes! who the hell would try to kill someone's horse? Hope the dirt bag gets what's coming to them.

Sorry you're having marriage issues. Keep trying... Both of you! It only works if both let go of self-pride and do whatever it takes. Life's full of givers and takers. If both are givers, then you're in store for many years of happiness. Life's too short to spend it unhappy. Good luck.

What's going on with the rental? I have one of those too. Boy, I could tell you some horror stories about being a land-lord.

Hope things are going better by now kiddo. Stay positive, keep the faith and chin up.

Are people doing mass-postings here? I keep seeing postings that are posted on multiple chapter forums, and when I respond, they don't answer... Like, folks seem to be posting a bulk message but don't even bother to read the replies, just post on forums to post... I don't get it. I feel like I could communicate just as effectively with a tree.
Are there any real people out there? Well, I know there are some, but it's almost like there are virtual people out there posting too, just to keep the chapter forums active or something.

I see what you mean, Tim. The above post has nothing to do with our chapter and was cross-posted to 46 different chapter forums this morning. This constitutes spam as far as I'm concerned...

When you come across mass postings like this, please report them.

Hey, another real person ! ! !
Hate to say it but I think it is more than just the one, Dan.
Not sure of the motive for this, maybe just like sending out emails to all of your friends, but I suppose there may also be a positive result from keeping forums active, from an admin point of view.
Actually, there really isn't much activity from our regular chapter members lately. Including our Most Worthy Chapter Leader.
I guess life has been keeping many of us busy lately... Maybe its a good thing to have blanket postings to drown the deafening sound of crickets.
