I just got off the phone with Krys, she is out of the hospital.

She has to rest up for the next few days. They have stabilized her condition.

She wanted you all to know that she appreciates your ongoing prayers and thoughts.

Looking for a job?

Chas,

I don't want to put any additional pressure on you, but we may be chatted out by the time you finally get in.

Hap,

I go in on a regular basis and delete topics that have been inactive for about 4 months. I am a little behind on it right now, because my last two prunings happened the days before access to the forums got screwed up. I will continue after the upgrade is done.

I am relieved.... I get "you" very often, but the other word isn't usually "thank"

two words -- Private Topics.

Now there's an idea.

Consolidating Threads

some people have done it. In some cases, it is a matter of someone that hasn't posted in a long time and forgot their screenname. In the cases that I knew of, I sent the old screenname to them.

I discourage it. There, of course, have been exceptions.

If you need an official answer, then it is no.

I have had to give moderators alternate log ons so that they can enjoy posting and have some anonymity.

Here is the original article from the archives

thanks Zix..

You know that we don't HAVE to have ONE get together. If any of you recall, we had the GS third birthday party and that was a huge success.

I think that regional get togethers are a great solution. If Hope has one in FLA, and you want to go, GO. If Suz has one in the great NorthWest, GO.

Maybe we are too Rock-brained ;)-->

Steve!

I didn't get that impression at all. Nor did I the 43 times that she suggested it when I was visiting (I just thought that she thought that I was hard of hearing)

We are not capable of planning get togethers... everyone wants it in their backyards. The beauty of the Weenie Roast is that Herb posts the date and the place and you are there or you are not.

I know that there will be something in Washington this year and probably a second one too in another area of the country. So to settle all the bickering, let's just have it in my backyard.

The problem lies somewhere in the Private Topics. I was doing a purge of older inactive threads just prior to it happening the first time.

In case it happens again, I have put a link in the intro page of the forums on www.greasespotcafe.com that lists all of the forums on GS

Here it is for you to bookmark for future reference.

Thank you for those words of comfort

Well how in the hell am I supposed to do -- Excathedra, the true Hollywood story, if you erase the script?

I have a few thoughts.

1 it has to be discreet, not secret.

2 it has to involve locals

3 it has to be simple, very simple

People aren't leaving in droves anymore.

If you start a PT as one of you already have the topic could start being discrete.

Well this thread has taken a sudden turn for the worse by Assuming!!

If I were going to compile a book based on this forum, I would get permission first.

Karl's book is a very good read.

And another book is in the works. ;)-->

Jonny,

Isn't Ann Marie just the greatest? I have to go visit her soon.

I was just reading LindaZ's thread in the About the Way forum. Raf made a post suggesting that it go in the Greasespot 101 forum.

This was a project gone askew. I would like it to be THE forum to get vital info that can bring someone up to speed on the Way and on GreaseSpot itself.

Anyone that has suggestions of topics, please put them in here and let's get the GreaseSpot 101 up to speed.

It is a good idea.

I don't think that we need something full time though.

I will do some checking around, but I believe that there is something already in place. It is just done by a handful of people quietly.

dmiller,

hover over any of the icons and hold the ctrl button and click and then save the image. That is how to do it on the mac.

Pay attention to the folder it stores it in and give it a name that you will remember.

If you have any mac questions, feel free to email me.
