Not to mention if you have friends or family in the path of the storms and need someone to "talk" to Siwsan Apr 2014 #1

EXACTLY !!! WillyT Apr 2014 #4

Exactly. Thank you. Nadin sure takes a beating here, disgusting. Mnemosyne Apr 2014 #2

Agreed... She's Providing An Invaluable Service... WillyT Apr 2014 #3

Absolutely. She was a great resource, for me, during our massive snow storm Siwsan Apr 2014 #6

Nadin is amazing! Breaks my heart when posters treat her so viciously. Mnemosyne Apr 2014 #9

Things sure have changed in the 10 years I've been here. Mnemosyne Apr 2014 #15

Yeah... It's Easy... To Be An Anonymous Asshole... WillyT Apr 2014 #18

If they are so proud of their cruelty they should put up a pic, so we can see whom we're dealing Mnemosyne Apr 2014 #31

There are some very mean people here! n/t RKP5637 Apr 2014 #29
