but not for posting in the forum you host

I read the beginning of your post wrong. I thought that maybe there had been a change to hosting rules such that us hosts wouldn't have to put up with complaining members ever again! And then I was disappointed when I reread it

I'm not sure I can join you in remaining awake, though (still fuxxy-minded at the moment) butte will give it a gogh

since i'm a a main forum host. I saw one article to post in the Texas Group with a humorous headline, but it could also get me a hide so I'm exercising discretion. However, i will provide the link.

yet still funny And sad. Kroger is my primary store, with Whole Foods being the one where I get the things that neither Kroger nor HEB carry (all that "weird" faux meat stuff we veggies like to eat.) However, as my local Kroger is also 24-hr, I'll shop while the OC folks are asleep

Locking threads and redirecting them to other forums take a toll. The petitions to unlock can frequently raise tensions because the authors of the OPs think that they are beyond perfect. Then there are all of the meta discussions as to whether a thread is a meta discussion--oops, wait a moment, i'm going all meta now.

Thank you for all the G-R-I-E-F!
