I've still be hanging out with these folks, but we've moved from Discus to reddit ever since Discus eliminated private boards. Nice people, all good faith discussion. I'm "ystavallinen" over there.

I tried posting here a few times, but was blocked for whatever reason.

Hi i3b3!!

Good to see you and hear that you and yours are well. Is that forum related to the one Judith started years ago?

I'm with Arky in that I haven't spoken to her in far too long. I hope she and Keoni are alright.

Arx,

Cisco is doing well --- he's grown so much in just the 10 days since I brought him home. He's much more adventurous now and running all over the place. Right now he's bummed (as am I) because my brother and family left today. Cisco keeps running around and then coming back to me as if to say "Where's the boy???"

Currently he's sacked out after chasing baseballs in the backyard. He won't fetch them, but he likes to run after them.

How sweet! I bet they all had a blast. Big draw to Aunt No's house now! So jealous! Six more weeks. Really hard doing this without Mazie.

3i, sounds like y'all have it under control. I'll check out the reddit. It's been nice here but about to set in raining for a week. Good luck on the funding. When Trump is gone it will get better along that line.

Ms No--

It's not the one associated with Judith. It's one I stumbled into that was a breakaway from The Atlantic's Disqus forum, but they were frustrated with the trolling.

So they're tolerant of different viewpoints, but there is a good-faith expectation, some rules, and it is moderated.

Coolio, I may check it out. Of course, what I really need to do is take advantage of this time at home and work on my yard.

We got the official word today from the District (two days after the governor and state secretary of ed notification) that we will not be returning to campus before summer break.

So today I went to the school and grabbed anything I could think of that I might use for distance ed and curriculum development and packed it in the back of my car to bring home.

Just posted 3rd quarter grades. Most of my seniors are doing fine, but a few are not on track to graduate. It looks like what they're going to do is say that grades are frozen as of March 13th (the last day we were on campus), so anyone who was happy with their grade then isn't obliged to do the distance ed work.

Which is both silly and I suppose not silly. At any rate, I don't know if I'll get any kids doing online work other than the ones who want and need to pull up their grades.

Wow! You guys are still here???

Just popped in to say hi and hope everyone is well. The thoughtfuls are doing fine and surviving the craziness. Though I'm not sure how well since I just took some food coloring to patches of my hair just for fun. Not a good sign.

My major online haunt these days is houzz.com which runs some forums...formerly gardenweb and I hang a lot at Hot Topics where we "discuss" politics and such.

Just stay safe and stay well everyone! This virus crap will pass...crap always does, no?

Lovely to see you, Thoughtful, and glad to hear you're doing well!

29173. arkymalarky - 5/16/2020 6:18:02 AM

Thoughtful!!!
Sounds like you're fun and upbeat as ever. Good to know in these times!

No, I came in to see how you're doggy's doing, since I got mine yesterday. He's already right at home and Stan and I are so happy to have a little buddy in the house again. Also I called Judith a few days ago and she and Keoni are doing well.

Hi all, happy to read that no one appears to have been sickened or died from covid. I'm well, my work is exclusively from home anyway, so this has had no impact on my work/financial life.

Cheers, all.

29175. Ms. No - 6/2/2020 10:32:55 PM

Hey Cos,

Good to see you and to hear that you're doing alright.

29176. vonKreedon - 6/4/2020 11:13:56 PM

Hey Cos - Nice to find you all still here.

29177. wabbit - 9/11/2020 11:42:09 AM

21 years today - I hope everyone is safe and healthy!

29178. Ms. No - 9/13/2020 9:24:17 PM

Good Lord, we can drink!!

29179. vonKreedon - 9/16/2020 6:13:16 PM

Happy Late Birthday to the Mote!

21 years of Le Mote + some 4 years being in touch via The Fray, Yahoo Chat and WorldCrossing before that. when this all began I still had hair on my head, and now my oldest son (whose birth was announced on this site) will himself turn 21 in just over 3 months.

a long strange trip, indeed. salute to the Motards!
