admin , what is your thought or do you have any information that you could share relating to cartoon images being posted on member's pages? Let's use The Simpsons, as a for instance. What if members post pictures of Bart popping a boner, or Maggie sucking Homer's penis, is that against the site guidelines?

I know folks here think I am a dumbass but I am going to say something to make sure I do my part to try to prevent this from happening to others.
I had been noticeing my neighbor has been under alot of stress lately.busy all the time on the phone,or gone.I have done his yard work for months now.Didn't know what was up but Knew something was not right.
Turns out he got scammed. This man is worth a pile of money.He inherited real estate and it sold and he invested it 20 or so years ago.He lives miserly and his wife,well she squeeks when she walks.So tight with money.
But,1 day he felt something was wrong with his computer.So he downloaded a free antivirus.Megabyte or something along that line. Started having real issues and then got a phone call telling him he had to pay 300 bucks to get the antivirus to work.Although he never found it on the computer anywhere.Well,.when it was all said and done,all his banking info was on that machine,and they got into it and of his life savings almost all gone and chances are getting slimmer by the day of him getting it back. The feds are in on it,the local law enforcement,everyone is doing what they can.But he was told once your money goes off shore,chances of getting it back are slim to none.
And he took his computer to the local tech guy,only found a couple little virus things on it that he was able to get off but it has a second password that you have to key into it for it to work.I told him there is probably a virus deep in that machine that a normal tech can't just wipe out and he probably needs to use that computer or at least it's hard drive,for target practice.
He of course has changed credit card numbers and the banks froze what was left but
I tell you all this to try to prevent others from getting caught up in these scams.
I may have rambled a bit and Hux will check my grammer but maby the jest of my message can save 1 person the trouble.

I wonder if the personalities reporting the news on television are just "actors", reporting the news that is written and presented to them to read? Are they actors or journalists? If I'm not mistaken, a journalist does their own research, they write their own material and report it.

It seems like the trend now is for members who are seeking verification, to write a blog and wait for it to happen.

Surely, they have read about "verification" and admin's handy-dandy suggestion about making it happen. Hey, you, the member who is seeking verification, do you think admin's guidelines are to difficult and/or time consuming? If you want something bad enough, you're going to work harder to get it, that's just my thought.

Halloween was/is a BIG children's holiday in the United States. One hundred years ago, when I was a child, I looked forward to "dressing up" and wearing my costume to school for the afternoon party and of course, in the evening, when we, my sisters and I, would officially go out to Trick-or-Treat.

Life was different one hundred years ago. Heck, if you were pressed for a costume, you could dress up as a "hobo" and go to school like that. Schools don't allow that any longer, it's not politically correct. Trick-or-Treat officially began at 6:30 in our household. We weren't permitted to begin festivities prior to that time because my mother was a stickler about interfering with the neighbor's dinner as a family.

All the porch lights were switched on, designating that your neighbors were passing out candy or something. Didn't you just hate it when you got to "THAT NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE", you know, the house where the dad was a dentist, and they were dropping toothbrushes in your bag or pillow case? It was a time when your neighbors didn't hide foreign objects in the candy or fruit. The idea of "Trunk-or-Treat" wasn't even a thought.

I never thought that I would hear myself saying that I miss the good ol' days, nor did I ever think I would see the day, the day when I turned into my mother.

I'm at my sister's and I'm on my way home. It's 37 degrees Fahrenheit out and you know it's cold when your steering wheel and seat heaters kick on, AUTOMATICALLY!
