Loved the photos, Missy! I have been a lot of places in my life but never to Mount Rushmore. Thanks for showing me something I've missed.:D

Thank you Missy, thanks for sharing your pictures Missy. I would love to see Mount Rushmore for real, just looks so amazing.

WOOW.....Missy.

Just noticed and wondering at this moment there are 3234 members and only 540 active. So that's 2694 members who don't seem to want to post, i know some may eventually, maybe some just see it's a free forum and join then change their mind in posting anything. Silly observation i know, anyone got any opinions as to why so many join free forums and not post?.

Yes Mart, I have a theory: I am on many forums. Some i visit every day or so like this one. Some i have only 2-7 post on and just lost interest. Some (Again, like me.) log in once, log out just to find you can't log in again! I had that happen here but i fixed it. Others may have just said "F**K IT!" and moved on.

Another reason: Reformatting, You lose all your log in info if you don't back it up or write it down in the first place. (like i do.) Than there are those that are "Caught" by their wife. ( Not good, Been there did that, Now i call her EX!) The list of possibilities goes on: Computer stolen, Untimely death, Sentence to jail/prison time. Life changing accidents, and so on.

Last but not least: Those that think they just signed up at a pay site for free! ( I was that naive once myself.)

That's my opinion, But what do i know?:D

There's another possible reason:

Guests can't see the attachments in the posts. You have to be a member to be able to do that.
I think the same goes for the member albums, and maybe some links, too.

When I found the forum, that was my reason to join. The discussion and sympathies about Tigger's truck crash led me to return and participate. Now it would be hard for me to live without it.

Some new members may have joined to see some attachments to posts, but didn't want to participate. Some of them may have come occasionally, some may have never returned.

In the last months, some wannabe spammers may have joined to use the forum to lure members somewhere else by PMs, just to find they can't. :D

I check the forums everyday,but don't always post.If I don't have nothing to say or add to a subject I don't post just to fill up space on here.

I believe this forums is save thanks by posting's from Tigger,Missy,and Mart.

I dont know if I was something here. Just speaking. But miss me more WhyYou one specialist by posting's.

But we are un few by "family A.Angel" . Then here are added new good members like Anoree,Geolarson.

I post regularly here purely because in my opinion, it's the best and friendliest forum on the net and it's still the first site i check as soon as i log on to the net. I like to think i've made a lot of true friends here as i think i did on Alison Angels forum. I do sometimes wonder that it maybe because i've lived alone for sometime that i like to join good forums like one. Although i have family and friends around occasionally, i find forums can be very helpful for me when i'm alone and don't really have anything else important to do, plus of cause it's enjoyable too.

Plus it's more enjoyable because my new swivel chair arrived today, which is so much more comfortable than my old 4 year old swivel chair, which was literally falling apart, mainly the chair piston kept dropping, which at times i found damn annoying lol.

Don't you just hate thous ups and downs! lol :D

No! especially when your about to take a mouthful of tea at the time and the damn thing collapses. Or typing then suddenly your a foot lower.:D

Oops i actually meant yes i must read posts properly.:D

Guess i must still be feeling rough, well the guys at work said i look a bit rough. Hope they were refering to my illness a while back.:D

Ugo: I am still around, I just don't post very often. But I do read nearly every post.

Everybody else: I do take my job as Lead Moderator very seriously and so I am involved in many aspects that go unseen by normal members. Anoree, Laranger, and I communicate outside of the forum when there is a need. Between the 3 of us we have the message board covered 24/7.

I know that, WhyYou, but just i speaking here my opinion.

Well i say, well done and thank you to WhyYou, Anoree, and Laranger. For keeping this forum good and clean from spammers, i've never known a forum to remove spammers so quickly, i'm a member of several of other forums who obviously suffer spammers too and just tend to ignore them. Which i find annoying, even when i pm admin they just say they will remove them soon. Of cause their there for weeks and bloody weeks, even after comments from members telling us not to click them because they have trojans or other nasty things. That's one of the reasons i believe Danielle's forum is the best, because we have the best admin and no i'm not trying to suck up to them lol. I'm just giving my honest opinion on the best forum on the net.;)

We had one more surprise for Tigger when he got home, Grandma had gotten him a small fishing boat, and Laranger sent him a vary nice gift and Tigger had no clue about any of it till he got home, he was vary surprised and vary happy. and i was able to keep 2 secrets for 3 months. And do you know what Tigger did to me right in front of my husband this morning. He bent me over backward and kissed me on the lips!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:eek: I was totaly not expecting that! Shortly after that Tigger got called out with the fire dept on a wreck and we got to go see the life flight come in and Tigger and others loaded the victom in and it took off and i got picks. Tigger is in the white shirt.

Laranger that was vary vary nice what you did for Tigger. he was vary surprised and is vary grateful, he will Cherish it forever. Sarah told me to say thankyou to you. you are a wonderfull man with a good heart. I don't care what they say about you! lol

Hi pals. My wife just gave birth to a cuuuute baby girl, some hour ago (around 10:30). And... I got kicked out of the hospital 2 hours ago (9:30). Bummer!! I'm storming the maternity ward tomorrow first time AM. YEESSSSAAAAAH!!!!

Now, good night.

Congratulations, Doctor Dad!

Congrads Doctor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations Doctor!!!!:)

Congratulations Doc! :)


Well it always sounds to me Missy, whatever Tigger gets, he deserves. Because he very likely earned it.;)

My daughter called me sun. morning and said the lady down the street that just moved in a few weeks ago shot her husband. Well she called me last night and told me the lady had gotten home from working the night shift and found her hubby in bed with the 16 yr old babysitter and shot bolth of them dead. there twin 10 yr old boys are staying with family. Not shure what will happen to the mother.:(

Just got a letter from Midasreg personalised number plates, they found a number plate with my three initials only £7.000. I could never justify spending than much money on a number plate, i know that's cheap by comparison to some prices plates go for. But i'd rather spend that money on something better. Anyone ever owned or bought a personalised plate?, just curious.

I had thought about getting personlize plates and even went online to see if I could get the ones I wanted since Texas had increase thier plate's spaces from 6 letter/number combo to 7 due to running out comminations you can get from 6.
Well anyway apparently you can't get personalize plates with the new 7 space combo.Only either with 5 or 6 letter/number combo depending on the plate type.So I can't see paying up to $55 for those plates when I need the 7 letter/number combo.

Had a Hearse with a plate that said "Death" Or "Dead-66" can't really remember but it was expensive. I think that car is still in storage. I'll let you know for sure tomorrow. Kind of morbid i know but, That's me!:eek:

I will be getting personalized soon using my nickname, WhyYou, and in this state it only costs $15.00 :D

I've got a "personalized" license plate, too. I got to choose an available combination representing my car type and purchase date. The fee was 15 Euros, about $20,00, I think.

It's all a load of combos to me Texas!, but i do see what you mean.:D

Morbid yes, but interesting. But why did you own a hearse Immortal?, just curious.

Only $15 for a personalized plate WhyYou?, i'm assuming you are joking!. here 99% of personalized plates are quite expensive.

Guess some plates are cheaper than i thought.

No joke! Personalized plates are quite cheap here.

I wouldn't mind a personalized plate only if i could find one cheaper enough. But the few i've found are usually in the four figure range. just found a few more with my initials from careg.co.uk £5.845, £4.349 or £3.245. Still out of my price range.

Aaaaalright. Time to spit up. I've posted nothing in ages 'cause I've been busy off-home. First, my kiddie was born with a useless portion of small bowel ("intestinal atresia" in med talk), wich had to be removed so her digestive system will work properly (no getting scared here: it's actually a common birth complication, and that kind of surgery has quite become routine), so Mom & Dad have been going to the hospital. Meanwhile, little Ms. Doctor was born in a "composite posture", in English, with her little hands covering her little face. She had no joint injury, but her position plus natural birth gave my wife a vulvo-vaginal tearup. My older girl had an important blood loss and over a dozen stitches, and was discharged Monday morning (almost exactly 36 hours after delivery). She managed to pull the "supermom" stuff off for the first three days of visits to the newborn unit, but got into real pain downstairs on Thursday. We went to our physician after visiting our baby, and... 2 stitches had been released, and she had a hematoma inside her vagina. As of then, she had a terminant order of bedrest until wednesday (Sept 8th. She's healing like the Orient Express now that she's resting, thanks Big Guy!), and I've been to the hospital alone since. After each visit I stopped by her place (good thing we haven't moved together yet!) for the med report and some hubby/wifey time. Then, back home... to work. Yesterday, just back from playing with our quickly-healing baby, I went for an envelope of yogurt culture, which I was out of. Stepping out the office-store, I twisted my ankle in the stupidest way possible... the first occasion in YEARS that I'm walking calm and slow (yes, yes, no more slowy calmy walky ever again :p). I limped to her place, had lunch (thanks Mrs. In-law) and fell asleep on her bed (this was around 2 pm). Then I woke up around 8, and was unable to stand up. Called my mom, went with her to the hospital where she works, had an X-ray, the diagnosis (strained ankle), and two days of bedrest as part of the recipe. Got home just 13 hours ago, and I'm already bored to death. Go figure. Well, this was my weekly report. :D

Good to hear from you Doc!, seems you and family are having quite a time, glad to hear everythings ok now. Just healing time to go, well i wish you the mrs and the little one a speedy recovery.

I woke up this morning with my left eye swolen quite nicely. turns out i have pink eye. Spent half the morning in the ER. and $ 40 in meds hope it gets better soon The hole team has to take eye drops so that they don't get it.:(

A-MEN, Mart! Hot news: Mom texted. Says, after a new interconsultation, I'm getting a cast tomorrow morning. Oooh, nice. Now I won't even be able to crawl downstairs (my room is on the 3rd and highest floor) to watch TV or Web around.

From what I can tell, you are not talking about plates that are issued by a government agency. You are talking about plates that you would buy from a private person that would be mounted in addition to your regular car license plates. In the USA we can get personalized plates from the goverment agency that replace the issued plates. This is why they are so cheap.

We are shut down because of Tiggers eye being swollen. we are all on meds for pink eye because we dont know where he got it and we have alll been around to him and exposed to it.
