Inside The Mind Of California Governor Jerry Brown

What were you thinking?

[Jenny]

Sorry, but this new format is weird...maybe it's just the way it appears on my laptop, but too much scrolling!!

[Rayzor]

Not just you, Jenny...
We're all afraid!

[Jenny]

And where did 3,000 of my posts go??

[edna]

Not really a fan here either.

I guess there must be things to be fixed still...

But we'll eventually get used to it and like it...

[chutzpah]

This is going to take some time to get used to. Right now, I'm not very impressed but eventually it will all work out. (I hope)

[edna]

And where did 3,000 of my posts go??

​Oh, I lost some 22.000 posts this time. In the previous glitch I lost some 4.000. I guess we need room...

[CanAm]

 

I know that change is always difficult, but I find this new format cumbersome.  I'm lucky, I only lost about 200 posts.

[Steel2Velvet]

I revised a former website.  The resistance to change is a real lesson in human nature.  I suppose we all fear the unfamiliar. But this is simply a forum, no more, no less.  Write and read.  How bad can that be?

[Rayzor]

Yeah, Jenny. I lost 4000. No biggie, though cuz now it doesn't look like I was posting a whole lotta nothing! LOL

[Shawna]

I have no clue how many I had... or how many I lost.  Or gained.

I do notice I have two stars.  What's that about?

I have zillions of posts, I lost half of them but who cares???  you can have them all. I'm a Songfactor and that's what counts

[Rayzor]

You lost a couple thousand Shawna (if I remember right)

Those stars mean you're in charge! You have as many as Carl! LOL

Saw the word "Appolonian" in print today. I seriously thought it was a reference to the Prince protege Appolonia. It wasn't.

[edna]

let's have a party!

Keeping it alive...

[miamisammy29]

I believe APOLLONIAN is an adjective used to describe an unruly, obnoxious crowd (like those at the Apollo Theater).

[CanAm]

On another, subject, thanks to Philadelphia the self-proclaimed city of brotherly love for destroying a lttle a little, robotic ray of sunshine.  I'm referring of course to Hitchbot, the little robot hitchiker.  Somehow, hitchbot travelled across Canada (twice), safely visited several cities in Germany and the Netherlands and was treated with respect and affection in New York City, Salem and several other American cities.  However, Hitchbot's odyssey came to an abrupt end when some yobbos in Philly decided to smash it and steal its computer components.  Uncle Joe, I hope you are hanging your head in shame.

[miamisammy29]

Hitchhiking is a dangerous game, my friend.  You take your life in your own hands when you do it.
