Just realized that it'd been cut off. And I completely understand why the editors deleted the last few posts. I'm really glad to see them deleting (spelling?) posts rather than the whole thread. But have to kind of wonder why they stopped people from posting.

Anyway, I just wanted to comment on Tiff's post about marrying her husband a little later in life and how much more she appreciates her time with him. I do understand what you mean, Tiff. Although my husband and I were only 22 when we married, we didn't have our first child until we were 32. I've always felt that we had a much deeper appreciation of our kids than we would have had we had them sooner. And, before anyone gets upset with me, I'm not saying that young parents can't be wonderful parents. I'm just talking about us, personally. Not people in general.

What happened? Or should I not ask, lol.

Tiff, wishing you many happy years to come!

Hello CAPH, I went to post something this evening (have only been on Fodor's a couple of minutes this morning) and was surprised to see that FFRR's was frozen. Hi seetheworld, I was wondering the same thing..guess we are better off not knowing, LOL.
I hope that everyone has a relaxing Sunday.

Hi LoveItaly. Thanks for the good Sunday wishes - may your day be relaxing too.

There was a troll. 'Nuff said!

I was wondering myself what happened b/c I wanted to write back to our sweet Tiff...and did you guys notice that this week's Poison thread is gone? I went looking for it last night and couldn't find it. I was really looking forward to catching up w/everyone.

Nevermind, just found the Poison thread. I must've scrolled past it last night.

Me again...when I typed the post above, poison thread was at 49. When I went back to it, I couldn't find it and now it's #78. What's the deal???? I know there weren't 29 toppings and new messages in about 3min.!

As LoveItaly would say, "Good grief!"

I think I'm getting access via my "name".
Anyway, hope you saw the USC/ND game yesterday - topped the '64 Thanksgiving W/E win by the Trojans, when the ND DB fell down allowing a 20 pt first half deficit come back win and destroying the first year national championship hopes in the Era of Ara.
Imho, the mob paid his tuition for the rest of his education.

It wasn't my fault, I haven't listed the growing number of military fatalities (1974) in Iraq in weeks.

Mike, that was a great game. And the Aztecs won too. Now all I need is the Chargers to win today in Oakland.

OWJ, I started another thread about this last night (Refresh?). Just got on this morning so I don't know whether it's better. But last night it was taking a looong time for posts to show up. When I hit the refresh button, sometimes it'd go backwards instead of forwards. Really goofy!

It's definitely not better. I hit refresh several times, got completely off of both Fodor's and IE, came back and this thread still hadn't come back to the top.

FFR&R was frozen a few weeks ago so I asked an editor why and did not receive an answer.

CAPH, what is the screen name of the troll that got deleted? What did the person write? If you want, you can just tell the first letter of the screen name. I'm curious!

I guess we will get started again next friday morning.

Hey Caph, just to respond to your message on the other thread...

My oldest son had a single for the last two years at BU and he loved it. But he also had a security system (card swipe) and it was like Fort Knox trying to get into his building (people signing in would have to leave their ID with security).

Sadly, that is not the case at the youngest son's school. I don't want to give too many details (never know who's lurking here, lol), but it's just not the same. Hence, the ability to easily steal.

I think convincing this kid that a single is the way to go next year will be difficult as he has already mentioned wanting to room with 5 people next year - I think my BP went up 100 points when he told me that. The idea of having more than 1 moron in the room at one time is just too much for me

jorr,

It was a new screen name that was trying to cause trouble all over the place. I think all of his/her stuff was deleted.

thanks Jocelyn, I hope it is not a multiple screen name from trolls who do not like FFR&R who have frozen it in the past.

Oh, he was all over the place--not just the US board. He didn't even seem to have an agenda other than to cause trouble.

Did his screen name start with an f and end with a t?

No, it was a new one that just registered yesterday.
