I guess I could have WORSE problems to worry about too.

I just ignore all the irrelevant postings and rantings and flamings as if it never happened. I'm not going to bother with all the yeow yeowing and stuff.

I'm with starblade, ignore the flaming, there's plenty of that everywhere. As Chris K mentions, there are folks here who weren't at FSM I've enjoyed talked with (and some who apparently WERE there & I didn't know it, hmmm, starblade?) so I'm not about to abandon this ship.

Debi, this event has to play itself out. It's like folks are moving on from puberty to adulthood or something. I am just going to have fun with it!

MY REASON FOR MAKING THIS POST WAS JUST TO SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE GOING TO USE BOTH; and the only reason I used the word "loyalties" was because I can bet that there are some of you out there that WILL ONLY USE ONE.

I used to ONLY use FSM...simply out of ignorance to other sites. Then it was taken down. Then I found this one RELATIVELY RECENTLY......and I totally dig it. (To tell you the truth is there REALLY THAT MUCH of a difference?)

ANYWAY...Now that FSM is back up I'm sure I'll use them both. ITS JUST A PAIN IN THE ASS (more or less) to have to check 2 websites now.

YES, ya'll should consolidate score-sites PETER...AND NO. Variety is the spice'o'life no?

:P

I have enjoyed many of the discussions I've had here, and I loved the "Now Playing" custom found here.

So, even though I only came here because the FSM board went down, I found much to enjoy here, so I see no reason why I can't visit both sites.

I love posting the reviews here, too.

Hey, are you pitching to CBS another Survivor show? Sounds like it. Boy, a lot of people would get thrown out the first day.

But why Lake Ontario? Why not someplace warm most (if not all) of the time - like Jeron's house?

Curiously, the old site has grown to become a sort of Shangri-La to its defenders; absence makes the heart grow fonder, I guess. Quite frankly, there were some real jerks there (and I STILL apologize for "us FSM-ers" for bringing that sorry lot with us). I loved a lot of the rambling, off-topic, philosophical discussions that went on at the old FSM board.

But I have ALWAYS preferred the "vibe" here.

My Laura would tell you that I can be obstinate. She would be correct. That stubbornness extends to my loyalties, too.

My ante is on the table. Deal me in here.

I agre with you about Ontario, but Chicago and New York can get pretty darn cold as well. Chicago especially.

That's why I suggested Jeron's house. Texas is warm mostly all the time, or we could go to southern Arizona. Or even, a beautiful tropical island with native girls?!?

Nothing against Jeron's house (although he MIGHT have some kind of Star Trekian climate control going on there, who knows?), but I am happy where I am at.

My only concern is this: who is gonna step in between the Elfmaniacs and Zimmerites when they start to get into it again?

I lived in Wisconsin and I picked Chicago and New York because they actually have seasons, not just variations on one theme.

You know, San Diego isn't bad and the shopping in Southern California is excellant. But I am thinking that the abandoned warehouses out there are pretty steeply priced. (Of course so is New York and Chicago)

I've heard great things about San Diego, so that's an idea.

I remember an interview years ago with Pat Sajak. He was a "weather guy" in SD before being a game show host. He said that except maybe for 3 or 4 days in February, you could record your forecast and use it the rest of the year, and never come into the station.

I'll have to check it out myself maybe next year. I'm planning on visiting a friend of mine in LA.

I have probably been in Atlanta about 4 months all around, during every season but spring. It seemed pretty good. San Diego is probably fine, but living in Texas again, I miss ACTUAL seasons.

Oh well, another planet sounds good just about now...

Could be worse.....try India in the monsoon season!
