Hi Perrie,
Since Vic closed that article yesterday where you and I exchanged views on the ACLU, I just wanted to touch base and give you my reasoning for my high profile comment. Several years ago when I was still employed before getting disability, I worked in the laboratory at the small rural hospital in my hometown. I had notified the department head and the CEO that I would be seeking Social Security Disability and told them I would be cashing in on my 90 days or so worth of Paid Time Off/Vacation time and wanted it lump sum that I was allowed to get. It turns out that my department head did not like me very much because I was older than him and I did not bow down and kiss his feet like he wanted all in the department to do. He felt I was not the "team player" he demanded. He was also great buds with the CEO. Needless to say my request was denied and I was told I would only be paid in two week intervals. I informed him that that would create a financial hardship for me and my family and was unacceptable. I told them that I would continue working until my disability was approved. I was subsequently terminated prior to a decision being made with the reason being given that they wanted to hire somebody younger and in better health than me!
Not having the money to hire a attorney, and feeling I had a verifiable age discrimination case, I contacted the ACLU office in Phoenix and gave them my story. They agreed to send a investigator down to talk to me to get the particulars. They sent down a young woman just out of law school down but she never ever talked to me. Turns out she went straight to my employer and talked to that CEO and my department head only and based her judgement solely on what they told her, which was diametrically opposed to my story. After not hearing from the ACLU office in Phoenix for a couple of week I called them. Imagine my surprise when I was told that they would not take my case because they only handled what they considered "high profile" cases that would get the widest publicity and dissemination in their eyes. You can imagine my disgust at hearing this from a organization that was allegedy supposed to be helping the little people..That is where and why I lost all faith in the "lofty ideals" of the vaunted ACLU.
My apologies for the seemingly long drawn out dissertation, but I hope you have a better idea on my use of the "high profile" term. I thank you and you have a good day and a good weekend.
Hi Perrie,
I have been thinking about you lately. I know you are right in the middle of the worst of this covid thing. I hope you and all your loved ones are well!!!!!

Hi Perrie:
Most may not notice but I will be MIA from Newstalkers from 09-02-19 through 09-13-19, going over the pond to Ireland.
Take care and I'll have a pint for you

R.A Halpern:
One of my "masterpieces", an opus, entitled "Is The NewsTalkers A Right Wing Thing, or, a Left Over From the 60's Deadhead Thing", or, something, not even remotely close to that, is now METALIZED!
I have edited it a number of times and removed what I assumed maybe offenses against the CofC.
Please review at your earliest convenience. If you agree, that the revised version makes the cut, will you release it from LOCKED?
My one fan, my Mother, is fading fast. And, I want to hurry up the process. Is that wrong?
It's in metafied and it's open. If you post to it, people will notice meta moving to the first spot and respond.
Perrie: How might I "UNLOCK" an article I wrote which was summarily METAFIED. The title asked a question about The News Talkers.com policy in jest, and, someone, somewhere, got pissed at "metafied" it.
Recently, at 77, I had a "mini-stroke", which has left me with extra quirks. Over the years I had cultivated many of them, but, some of the news surprised me.
Perhaps, someone took offense at one of these?
Would you mind unlocking it so I might edit it? It is shockingly inaccurate, a quality that I strive to achieve, but, NOT IN THE TITLE.
Hi Perrie, I know it's been quite a while since we have had any communication. Sorry about that. I wanted to let you know that if Mac should happen to ask for my e-address, I don't mind if you give it to him. I let him know that if he needed to talk he is more than welcome to contact me since I gone through the same thing with Mr. Nona.
Thanks my friend
Sorry Nona, I didn't see this till now. I will make sure that I will give Mac your email address. I am sure he will appreciate it.
One of my illustrious, instructive creation has been "Meatified". I have edited and cleaned it up.
Would you take a new look to see if these changes are more acceptable?
Also, is there a way to save a "work in progress" other than posting it when it is not ready, they returning and cutting out all the junk?
I throw every up, no matter how useless, then, the next day, sober,I go back and try to make some sense out of it, which is difficult for me.
You pull a comment of mine on Kathleen's article that Kathleen herself voted up? And with the bs 'no value' charge?? If you don't want me here, just say so.
I love your post. Please stay. I suspect that we are the only adult in the room.
I don't think there is anything wrong with The Dukes of Hazzard or The General Lee, the greatest of all Chargers
Wow, thousands of friends. I am envious. Perrie! I have one!
Thanks for helping me figure out what I was doing on my New Site, Eat The Press - Don't Read It. The Content is Worthless! We are the Real FAKE News, not the REAL NEWS that our FAKE PRESIDENT whines about!|

As a so-called comedian, I have a number of characters that I do and write under their names, which confuses bill collectors.
Is it possible that my previous site is still active, and, is it OK to post articles by these characters that seem to be writing their own columns, and, demanding to be heard?
When one is a raving maniac, one has voices that want to compete with each other for one's attention, or, they will strangle you as you sleep, according to my Doctors!
FACEBOOK threw me off again for posting a video by "The Very Awful, Very Revered Oral Fleece, "Straight From the Street And Not From The Police", pastor of the Church of the HOW BIG IS YOUR WALL-HOW SMALL IS YOUR BRAIN".
In 4 days I got 10,097 views.
It is a commentary on "Why The Revered Oral Fleece Supports Judge Roy Moore".
I would like to post it here, but, can't figure how to do it exactly. Any help, or, a reference to someone that might "talk down" to me so I might understand it?
Two years later, and I still need your help on how to publish an Article on The News Talker.
Trying to get my custom icon to display on the Home page next to my articles instead of the Hat and Paper. How do I do that?
II can SEE these four from today, they are clickable, but the comments don't load. . . .
Hello,
Kavika sent me a PM, but I can not find it. What do I need to do?
I'm back. This time it should be more permanent. Even have it pinned to my toolbar.
Hello, there is a beautiful woman who died on Monday and I can not figure out how to post it here. Her name is Olga Pronina. A motorcycle stunt rider. I have vids to show of her skills.
Perrie, may I ask you a question please?
Hello, may I ask a question?
A very interesting thread vanished. How can I find out what

Perrie, I haven't been on in a while, but I wanted to say that the site looks great!
Perrie, am I able to invite others into my group? If so, how do I go about doing it? Thanks.
Hi Perrie, how do I post my own articles or discussions? Thanks.
Hi Gordy,
Got to the top of the page and click on forum. Then find the topic you want your article to go under and click on that. There you will see a tab that says "Add a discussion" .. click on that and type away.
Hope that helps!
Perrie... When I go to Anishinaabe and Kilted Korner groups, only the comments I have made show up. I can apparently make comments and they are posted, but I cannot see any other comments posted. What am I doing wrong, how do I correct it. Thanks, and happy holidays to you and your family.
Morning Perrie,
Since I haven't received any notifications since around 2 pm yesterday thought I better check with you and see if it's just my account alone or a more general situation.
Appreciate the help.
Why does my ugly mug still show up as my profile pic when I post since I changed it to a safety pin in denim?
Quotations, as I stated are many things. Last year, I gave journals with few ideas for type as Christmas gifts:
Gratitude
Where Could I have
Quotation
Many things are open to interpretation, yet quotes can uplift, inspire, invoke thought, endear... & be allusive, as well as invoke passions/emotions - kinda like music in a way.
They are prospective & projections (Pbs Midwest has 'Meet the Past' interviews with (actors) people from past)
Dorothy Parker was a character, as was Helen Keller or Saint Teresa of Avila based upon some of the quotes I've gathered. Used a quote in my blog piece from James Baldwin & a few words from Ed Sheeran' song.
Perspectives
I don't know more than that, but I hope I've explained it well & that you an others will be interested & join. If a conversation ensues the quoted/quoter is obligated to follow the conversation, moderate or qualify - like word game sort of.
Started new GRP. "Quotation Conversation!" I keep a quote journal & they can inspire, encourage, embolden or enlighten - they can also spark pamphlets that Lead to Common Sense Revolutions.
If you care to join let me know.
Please see the Oliver/Dowser exchange. Is this the best way to report CoC violations to you ?
I understand your purple pen on my expletive but I couldn't have meant it more than I did right then.
HI Perrie,
Life goes on at the Courtois' House in Forsyth, GA; and, I made it back after a long hiatus!
I like the way the site looks now!
Regards,
Charlie
Hi Perrie! I have applied to the cat adorers group, which is private, even though I'm mostly a dog guy (my wife won't have a cat in the house). However it seems that I have to be approved by Stefi Cantly who it seems hasn't done anything in that group in 3 years. Any way that I can get in? I really do like cats too.
Meow,
Randy
Hi Perrie,
I'm your new friend from the St Davids waiting room. We met last week. Hope your mom is doing well -- my wife is doing good and feeling better.
Thought I'd scope out your web site and maybe join in the fray, but probably lurk about for a while first.
Glad we met and I enjoyed our visit.
Rancherjim
Hi there Perrie!
I deleted the account of someone called @myloveryou : as a spammer. It's in the archive in the moderators group.
Randy
Hi Jim,
Sorry that I missed this before. Glad you are back and having fun. I've been trying to deal with these issues ( there are others) all this week. Fix one and two more pop up. Next time you need me, shoot me an email. I notice those more.
Hello Perrie,
Can you turn off my e-mail notifications for me? I've tried several times, and they just keep coming like a plague of illegal immigrants.
Pretty please..... !
Click on your name at the top. Then click on the "gear" looking tab. Then click on "Notifications" and then pick which one you want to be notified (emailed) about when they happen. Personally I have all of mine set to do not notify.
1st, she is a member here and I have paid her to publish to get new membership. The site gets to approve policies and the CoC not how the site functions.
So, why is this "Sarah" so protected by you? NT didn't approve her column - or do we not need to?
Hi Perrie -
I checked all the boxes, except the newletter one, to "disable" email notifications from NT. When I check, it says...
All notification emails have been disabled.
But I keep getting emails. Lots of 'em.
Thanks for looking into it for me!
And thanks for all you do.
James
Perrie, when you get a second, can you:
1. Tell me where the mail system is, and
2. Tell me if there is a glitch in group status recognition.
Not to add pressure or anything, but your answers will determine if my Belleview commitment will be voluntary or involuntary.
Hi Perrie,
I tried to add a discussion but it doesn't show up on the home or the forum pages. It does show up in "My Discussions". Not sure what I did wrong.
I want to thank you Perrie one more time for following me.....
Good Morning Perrie, I know you are quite busy but I cannot see myself on chat also, how do I create an article..thanks
back at you ....
liking this new format better every day ...
breadcrumbs possibly eventually?
currently on line list somewhere?
Thank you for accepting my friend request Perrie.
of course ... Perrie
Hi Perrie. This is looking good, this new place. I'm figgerin' it out slowly.
I notice I am no longer the Admin in Science Fiction Fanatics. Oh, eeeeek ! Could we fix that? Do we get to have co admins still?
I'm "following" you Perrie... wherever you take NT!
trying to track down previous friends but don't want to go through an 18 page photo badge looking at the alt tags - is there a text list of members hidden somewhere?
Hi!
I'm in... after muddling around quite a bit...
I'm having problems with updating my profile - the error message is about "authority". The help videos don't launch (Android 5.1.1).
Very few of my articles seem to have come through... But I always considered them perishable.
Hi my Perrie friend!
Mal has arrived at the NEW Newstalkers... Kinda tired, but I'm here... zzzzzzzzzzzzz...
BTW- I love your avatar... Great photo of you!!!
[Mal swoons...]
Where's my group?
Hello Kiddo!
Just had not stopped in for ages, so thought I needed to send a special HELLO to ya, Perrie.
Seems NT has come a long way since my last visit. Congratulations!!
Nice to see it.
Peace,
Dale P
Good to have you back sweets, sorry bout the mess, some of the teens decided to have a party.
Whenever I come to your page, Wally makes me forget what I came here about... Long Live Wally!
Time for a break. Perrie I don't know how you do it. Guess I'm just to thin skinned. I'll be back when families health conditions stabilize including my own. I'm glad your strong its very hard to be open minded as of the present. How does the statement go I forgive them for they know not what they do. Hope your family's doing better. Having Heart and PAD and memory problems. Lot of Doctor time myself and my wife needs to but doesn't and her mother is quickly loosing her battle. She has Parkinsons disease. Talk to you later. WEB site lunacy will only get worse for next two years till after next presidential election. They won.
And I changed it again, Perrie!
Tweaked to black and white. I didn't realize there was a feature to posterize my photo on the photo editing program I used. Always something new to learn!
Perrie,
I have received an email from FRANK KWABENA. Looks like a spammer has joined Newstalkers to email spam to members.
The NewsTalkers < mail@thenewstalkers.com >

Good Day,
How is everything with you, I picked interest on you after going
through your short profile and deemed it necessary to write you
immediately. I have something very vital to disclose to you, but I
found it difficult to express myself here, since it's a public
site.Could you please get back to me( mr.frankkwabena@yahoo.com.hk )
for the full details.
Have a nice day
Thanks God bless.
Mr Frank.

I've been so absent Perrie ... like 2 years absent, and still in mourning actually ... may be in mourning the rest of my life ... but when I looked at my pitiful lil friends list ... I saw some major "holes" that needed to be filled
Hi Perrie,
Yesterday and today I got 14 emails about this topic:
From Subject Received Size Categories
The NewsTalkers Raven Wing commented on the group "NEWSTALKERS PHOTOGRAPHY as FINE ART" on The NewsTalkers Mon 9:10 PM 12 KB
I perused a few sections, and said nada to anyone.
Strange...
Charlie
PS: I am going to revise all of my blogs and writings. Just checking on what's going on here. Ciao!
Missed you lady. Last I knew you were out of town taking care of personal problems. Thought maybe we drove you crazy.
I just love that picture of Wally.
Thank you Perrie.
Thanks!
I'm sitting here right this very minute praying for you! You have been on my mind all day. Hang in there! I LOVE YOU FRIEND!!!!
HI Pierrie,
IAs far as signing, I just kept getting the normal sign or sign up. I messed around with it and now it works fine.
Thanks for your interest. All is well now, no more problems
You're doing such a great job here.,thanks for that!

Perrie.
I would like to see who is here.
Do you still have a members list.?

Thanks Perrie for the Friend's request, it is my honor to accept your invitation, what a Beautiful Cat, I just love cats..thanks again
I wasn't trying to say that Americans are all pear-shaped. It's just that Americans are at the bottom of Canada.
I attempted to leave a shot message to you expressing my gratitude for your kind gesture but the dumb system refused to accept it then so I shall try once more for it is indeed an honor for me to be considered as your friend. This is also about as short as I get!
OMG!!! Mal forgot his Perrie friend's birthday... Mal is SOOOOOO sorry!!!
Here are some pretty pictures for Perrie...
bzzzzzzzz
OH I just COULD NOT decide which Birthday Greeting I liked better...so you get both! LOVE YOU!
Awww..... you deserve to hear all the GREAT stuff about what you are doing for all of us!!!! We appreciate and love you!!!
Hey Perrie!! Love the new VideoTalker feature!! CatBoarding...lmao!!
See? I'm quicker than you
Gladly Sister - with much honor.
Hey, Perrie, just dropping off a hug for you!
((((((((((((((Perrie))))))))))))
I promise to behave.
Thanks for answering my little question, Perrie. The videos were very helpful.
Dear Perrie,
The reply function is absent frommy discussions.
I had a hostile back and forth with Einstien Insanity, I suspect that the functions that enable me to reply to comments posted to me have been dis-abled because of my hostilecomments towards E.I.
I definately violated the CoC with E.I. because I detest him and I said so honestly.
Now I understand that if NT wants to disable my ability to respond because of CoC violation that is fair, but at the same time allowing postings to me that I can't respond to is not fair.
Add to that N.T. did not have the decency to let me know anything.
I don't like to have my speech suppressed while others can still post to me.
My question to you is this, How do I Un-subscribe to N.T.?
I've been looking around all over the N.T. website and I can't find the Un-subscribe function, can you advise how I can Un-subscribe?
Hi Perrie,
Shavua tov.
1. How do people quote from other messages and the quote appears in italis with a vertical bar on the left? I do it the old-fashioned way, by copy and paste.
2. Why are some messages missing a Reply link and have only a (personal) Message link? Still others have no response link at all.
Thanks,
Len
Thank you so much Perrie for accepting my request for friendship and hope you don't have to spank me. Well maybe just a little.
I think I got it right. Sorry for the delay, but I got swamped with visitors for about an hour and half here.
Thanks for your nice words, Perrie. I love the rainbow bridge poem as well. It's a comfort when it seems like there will never be any.
Wally looks like a lil troublemaker to me. But, a cute one at that, so who cares?
Oh, Kara here again. I see that your kitty's name is Wally, and really looks like a Wally too. Mine was named Kitten, and the reason that she is looking up is because she is in heaven now. What a sweetheart.
Hi Perrie,
Wow what an awesome looking kitty you have there. What's her or his name? Oh, and thanks loads for joining the "Technology Teaching Forum & Exchange" group. You'll definately be one of my teachers. I'm so fortunate.
Take care now,
Kara
Tried to do a discussion on the Sequester today gave an article and a couple of my own comments didn'y find it afterwards? ? ? Help
Thank you so much for your friendship! Blessedare those willing to be such friends.They are the sun beyond the storms, the moon, and stars guiding at night.I am honored tohave you for a friend!
Although, on closer inspection, he does look like he is going to swat the camera.
Wally! Such a pretty kitty!
I'm lost with the solutions for the Mickey joining GOP War on Women group. I don't know anything about setting up security.....I know Mickey's on my friends list, so I just sent an invite to you and Mickey both. I hope you can help.....maybe I should delete Mickey as a friend and start over? Does that make sense.....
Kay
Hi Perrie, I wondering if you can help me with a problem I'm having getting a group invitation to Mickey.....I've think I've sent it three times. I go to the group and then to invite, it pops up a list of my friends and I click on Mickey's name. Then it says invitation sent. I've done with with most of the GOP War on Women members, so I don't understand why it isn't working for Mickey......
Is there another way to invite Mickey to the group? Thanks, for your assistance.....
K
I cannot find "Members Online" nor chat dot & would love an email option
H
Sorry, but this seems to be my only communication avenue, the reply to the email inbox here on TheNewstalkers is not working for me. It will let me compose but hitting send does nothing it just stays on the page, nothing loads or confirms. Last time I went to to an article and used contact author for my reply but that seems not to work for me now either. Emails arrive with a no-reply address & it's 20 minutes into a reply now that isn't, very me but totally time burning limited!
Perrie seed the content you want since I'm having a devil of a time trying to find my way around and make things work. Even replies to articles seems iffy at best. Some may be due to my outdated browser but bottom line is you take what you want and I will focus on any new content in compose mode! Big hugs for all the work & support! pd :~)
don't worry about the game things, lots get posted by accident anyways. am still working on posting here. lol. I have one particular article am bloqqing that concerns many families around the states but is going on with us right now.
Hello Perrie! So good to be here, and I am learning fast! It's not too hard after all. NV got to be so difficult for me with that Beta thing, I was just lost! A couple people invited me here, and I', SOOOO glad! Thanks for having such an awesome place to be! G.H.
Thanks, Perrie! Have not even glanced at the help topics yet but will. Have been busy embracing friends from the big migration.
Thank you for the welcome. Feels comfy already.
thank you, happy to have found a refuge.
Thanks for the invite! It's good to know "who to know".
Thank you. I will certainly message you if I need help navigating the site. So far it's been pretty easy figuring things out.
I'm honored to have you for a friend. You are so nice and patient in dealing with us age challenged folks. I do appreciate that
I am still stumbling around a bit.
Thanks
Thanks, Perrie... thanks for taking me in.
Thank you for the friend invite. I am glad to have found The NewsTalkers! I actually heard about it at...that...other place...via another member over here! I am having fun over here!
ROFL I've been here, on and off almost 8 months! Silly girl!
Thanks Perrie, so far I am happy I made the move from NV. THe site looks great, and I like the ease of navigation.
Thanks, Perrie, I have been with Newsvine for awhile, but they are changing so drastically, I can't follow it very we anymore, so decided to come here for a more sane format.
Thanks Perrie!
thanks
Hey Perrie, thank you for welcoming me to the Site. I was looking for a new home since I left NewsVine.. So far I like the Code of Conduct rules here, and hope this site will continue to Grow.
I would like to suggest removing character limits on the blogs.. I say this because I would like to transfer a few articles from Newsvine to here that exceed the current limits. Sounds crazy, but they are more of research pieces that keep growing as I continue to study them. Hence, I am curious how you feel about your site expanding here. I am also only advocating this for the blogs as I can understand limitations on discussions and forums ect.. 
I do have a request though ... Yeah I know, always one with a request or suggestion
Cheers, and thank you!
Will
I have just begun to decorate...
Thank you, Perrie. Right now, I'm up past my bedtime, and being the old woman that I am, I have to get some sleep, my sleeping pill is trying to knock me out. I WILL be back, and probably with a lot of ?'s for you.
So, forgive me for now, while I nod off. Us old folks have a tendency to do that from time to time.
Thank you Perrie for your kindness and warm welcome. I'm still finding my way but thoroughly enjoying the experience!
Thanks for the kind welcome. I'm glad to be here, rather, I'm glad you created the here for me to be.
Ok, thanks!
Hi Perrie and thanks, Now my BIG, BIG question- is there spell check on this site?
Perrie, Thank you kindly.
And, thanks for the work on this site. Thumbs up.
Hi!
Thanks for the invite.
The patch is from the left shoulder of my old army dress uniform. I was in the U.S. Army Berlin Brigade and lived in West Berlin, surrounded by the Wall, for three years during the Cold War. I can go on and on, until most people, even those interested in history, start yawning but I won't now.
If I understand things correctly, this bulletin board is your baby, right? Nice work! Thank you for the Friend Invite. Will certainly ask questions as unknowns present themselves. Cheers!
Yer quite welcome M'Lady...ma pleasure. It's always an honor ta be in your service your Grace.
Perry, I just joined NewTalkers today, and my only complaint is that you can't spellcheck comments before posting. Do you think that spellcheck will be added to the site?
Thank you, I am playing, since they have made changes to NV, I think you are going to get a lot more signing up...NT is a big interest over there
Thanks Perrie, it looks like you guys have good show going on here.
Hi Perrie,
Thanks once again for your great site!! It's a great place to hang out and connect up with old and new friends. And you and Mac are always there for us. The discussions/articles are mostly of good quality as well!!
Love ya,
Kara
Hey Perrie, Yeah there are a few I know from Newsvine, I'm glad to be here, as soon as I learn the ropes of how to do things, I'll be posting more.
Thank you so much...
Miss Perrie...
Thank you for hunting me down. It was SO good to hear yer voice again. Looking at yer avatar...you haven't aged a day since the first 'Time' we met...chuckles
The place seems to have changed since I was here last. You've done a nice job of pulling the place together M'Lady. It looks great, and the 'natives' seem to enjoy your place. Some great feedback...but ah would expect nothing less. I know it's been a 'struggle' for you at times, and apologize for not being more 'supportive' with my involvement. Ah guess ah jus wasn't quite ready to make that shift and exert the 'Time' and energy to learn a different system. It's going to take some gittin used to, but ah think ah'm pretty much ready fer a change. It really doesn't matter iffin ah'm here or there...it's going to mean learning a whooole new system, so might as well be wit ma friends.
Hope you can roll wit da...yeeeah, ah know you can.
As ah become more comfortable'n familiar wit da navigation an da site, ah will begin to jump in wit some 'stuff'.
Thanks, Perri!
Oops. E mail still isn't working. Laters.
Hey, Perrie my dear. Is the e mail down today? Love ya.

Hi Perrie,
I pinged you on the chat system, but apparently you were away. I hope you are well. Last I heard you are having your scan soon. Has that happened yet???
Hey Perrie,
Sorry to hear you out of power... but at least if you can tell us that, you survived that disaster. When ever you get a chance let me know how you are doing.
Mal (((((((((((Perrie))))))))))))
Thanks for accepting my FR...I appreciate it
Thanks for accepting the FR. I am having me some fun. You did good putting this all together for us. I appreciate it.
Those emoticons are so very goofy. I never liked them before, but these are fun.
Howdy Perrie,
I stopped by several times today... but didn't manage to find you in... Left a message for RD... USC beat UW today
Thanks for the FR. I'm sure Iwill need a lot of help, thanks for the offer to help!! lol
It took me a long time to figure out how to do it.
Have a great week.
Mal says "HI" from Santa Fe...
[Mal packs up his travois and heads for home in the Northwest...]
Hope you are well!
I'm happy to be here Perrie and thanks for the warm welcome.
Perrie, how could I forget you? I hope I'm who you think I am - on NV I post as hhabilis, though I haven't been there for a while: snowed under at work, home comp on the blink. More later - I'm supposed to be working.
I'm happy you accepted my FR in that 'other' place.
Thank you, Perrie! I'm finding my way around, but, you'll be the second to know, if I'm lost!
Hello Perrie. Thank you for the nice welcome. I am still exploring the site. It looks very interesting. And thanks for you offer to help if I have questions. It is nice to know that help's available if needed.
Perrrrriee - wowee - yor getting a bunch o new ones eh? That's good.
Hi Perrie, Yeah I am so happy to be a member here with yours and Fed Up's help and ya know what? Lots of other members have stepped forward to help me. This tells me everything I need to know about your site. It's the welcome mat here. Not so for the time being where I am coming from.........but I'll leave them alone and all. They have their place. But this is just a great big and positive bonus in my life..........THANK YOU and everyone BIG TIME.
Yes I did! Can you tell I love purple?
I thought the green went well with the purple. I'm glad you like it. I was hoping it looked ok. 
hello perrie, my name is steve. i live in a resort village in nm.just thought i would say hello.
Hi Perrie, I would like to thank you so very much for your assistance to me thru Fed Up in order to get on this site. I am SO VERY HAPPY to be here, that you have no idea. My avatar in NV is a red rose, however I couldn't make it fit and didn't know how to make it fit, so for now it is a beloved past grey and white kitty cat. She did fit. I'm not surprised, as she was so special. So are you for starting this site, and I already see many friendly faces/avatars here. Thank you once again. I read all the terms of agreement and I'll follow everything. If I inadvertently step out of line, simply correct me. Send me an email or whatever is the protocol here. I'm here to have good discourse and to meet and greet old and new friends. THANK YOU SO MUCH PERRIE!!
Hi, Perrie: Yep, I have a new avatar because, for some reason, the old one didn't show up here (part of it did, but not the hamster). So, I picked my favorite photo of Cocoa Bean, and will have to share her (and her siblings')
story here as soon as I have the time.
Hi Perrie!
Long time, but gosh, I can see you've been busy
Great job on the new site. I'm looking forward to learning it better and playing here!
Hi Perrie! It's good to see you too.
Perrie! I'm so glad to see you!!!
Perrie,
Got my avatar up. It's always one picture or another of my grandkids. totally cute but that boy has no fear and is adventurous. I don't think he'll stop taking risks until he falls off something and breaks an arm or something. I also changed my screen name to TTGA, the initials from my NV screen name. Over here, just go on using Rock though
Hello Perrie, Good to hear from you again. I look forward to reading and posting interesting information and 'stuff'.
Thanks
WC
Thanks for the warm welcome, and Ill do my best to make you proud of me .
Hi Perrie,
Tonight is closing night (Doubt), so maybe I will have time to post that article (thoughtful Christian) next week... I do start on Frost/Nixon right away, but I am hoping my time commitment is MUCH smaller (as it is now, I am only in the first minute of scene 1).
I think of you often... I hope you are well!!!

Hi Perrie... Miss you!!! I hope all is well...
"Will do. For now I need to relearn the system and stay active at least 3 days a week"
At 11:29pm on March 27, 2012,Red,
I see you decided to just sign up. If you need any help, please let me know!
Not sure what this refers to....
Yes Perrie - that is one of my photos. I bought a new and improved camera. Now I'm learning how to take new and hopefully improved pictures. This is one from my front porch at sunset. I'll upload some here - thanks dear Perrie.
Thank you kindly, Perrie. It's my pleasure to be here.
Thanks. Just playing around with it. Got some things figured out though.
Hi Perrie - me again - just so ya know I'm still around...
Perrie, I am not ready to join any clubs yet, nor am I ready for a little slapping, gentle or otherwise. So I will keep my evil side under control.
Perrie, thanks for adding me as a friend. You are my first. You may recognise me from Newsvine.
Arch-Man enticed me to join your group. Family matters have me swamped at the moment, so I will be contributing very little for the next month or so.
I look forward to being more active. Al
Mal wags a Merry Christmas and HappyHanukkahto his Perrie friend...
[wag wag wag... frantically wagging...]
Hi Perrriieeeeee. So good to see ya and the others.
Ohhh Perrie - I just come and go but I am generally logged onto your site. Good job on it!
Terrifc site!
Oh...and I will change colors of the "Check spelling" button soon to match the buttons in the text editor-I had originally had the spell check made just for my site-then configuring it to sharewas a last minute idea-in the future the ads will match all sites better
Great you got the spell check to work?
I hate to share my site because its nothing fancy but serves a purpose for us..its located at www.drillingahead.com
Thank you! he is actually 6 now and a handful!
I lost all the pictures I had of my foxes =-(. I will have to search for a new one. I used the tarantula just cuz it was handy at the time!
Google Images..."zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance". You'll also see pictures on that page of Robert Persig and his son Chris who is central to his 1st book. The kid got robbed and killed on a street out on the West Coastsomewhere,just a few short years later.
Too bad we can't load more than one photo. We could put a series of them on our page on grouply.
I don't like the term "Teabagger" although the Tea Party markets shirts and other items using the term ... can't have it both ways but I understand the reason some take offense.
I can find lots of derogatory terms to accurately pin on the Tea Party, "Teavangelicals" being my personal favorite, but that has a singular meaning not used elsewhere to pure purely ugly.
First Amendment rights do not extend into infinity; for example, libel and slander can have legal implications and sanctions as do fraud, defamation and perjury. In the real world, you can't always say without consequences, whatever you please and hope every time to be protected by the First Amendment.
But let's have consistency; the Tea Party is highly critical of OWS, loves to call the participants all sorts of derogatory things as they exercise their First Amendment rights.
I'll conclude with this ...
"Live by the sword ... ", call someone a derogatory and don't get bent out of shape if one gets tossed back on you.
Perrie, I bought a house north of Tampa, plan to stray forever. No more moves, I hope. I will past some stuff over the weekend,
Perrie. I am fine but have been very busy. I plan to comment here a few times a week and sone seed and write. I will check out all the info here. It looks good.

Hi Beautiful!
I've always had a weakness for pretty Ladies. If numbnuts steps on your toes again, just holler and I'll come a runnin'.
Take care...
Does she spell it the same way? You'd be surprised how many people think my middle name is pronounced Reen as opposed to the proper pronunciation.
Sizzlin'....not. : )
