Good morning!!!!

[sodamo]

That sucks. Keep it where it's been, it's about rural living.

Agree. Rural living in a variety of locales, associated projects, tractor and equipment mixed in, and we are social as a bonus.

83F and sunny @ 13:30, heading up to around 86F for the day's high.

LWS reports the final total on yesterday's precip was 1.92".

Local weather folks are saying we are still "officially" way below normal rainfall amounts per the measurements taken at the local airport reporting stations ... but acknowledged that that is probably not reflective of much of the area ... due to our recent highly localized (torrential) rains.

Got cleaned up and drug the razor across my face yesterday and that's about as far as I got.

Did get meds doled out for coming week.

Did not make it up to the shop or get a haircut ...

Did manage to get a request for the transfer of one prescription filed with another pharmacy.

Also created an account and got signed up with new healthcare provider so I will have online access.

Need to refill bird feeders today.

Primary task for the day will be to get started on the mowing ...assuming it is dry enough. East side which never got cut last time around has gotten pretty long and I'm sure that the front lawn isn't far behind.

Maybe see what's available in the garden for picking later once it cools down a bit.

Other than that, see what else comes up.

Hope everyone is having a decent Sunday ...

MOVE GOOD MORNING BACK TO RURAL LIVING.

For those that don’t know, your marking good posts don’t count in the Front Porch. The front porch is where anything goes on TBN, usually reserved for political crap threads.

Anyone interested in a private good morning group on Facebook?

I don't do Facebook.

 

[sodamo]

I don't do Facebook.

Me either

Moved this thread to the front porch forum (off topic) since it's a chat thread. No other change.

Except post count and like count which doesn’t really matter, but why screw with a good thing!

 

[Looking4new]

I don't do facebook either, not that my opinion counts.

Just caught this from Ryan Hall Y'all:

 

[LS Tractor Owner]

no facebook....BTDT crap! Hacked twice, even got to the "friend" list..... some of those folks got hacked too. Closed that account and NEVER looked back!

 

[LS Tractor Owner]

Oh, yeah, Good Morning SHOULD be under rural living.

who cares about the likes. We didn't ask for them anyway, they just showed up.
now it adds a burden on all of us, do I click, do i click too much, will he notice I didn't like, etc etc
ad nauseum

one always wonders if someone complained.
maybe someone wasn't getting liked fast enough.

when in doubt, I'd give Muhammad the benefit of the doubt here as far as a good reason.
Would be nice if he elaborated.

David/Sodamo said it best. Why muck with something that works unless someone complained or
somehow this saves someone money. ????

I bet someone complained. You can sure find something wrong with an angel I suppose...

 

[NHBX]

IMHO (yes, that and six bux will get a coffee at Starbucks) most don’t like change, the main reason we post here is to share snippets of our lives with each other.
Likes, post counts don’t really matter. Although I could tell where I left off by the last “like” I clicked lol.

On a lighter note we got 1.6” of rain so far today

 

[txdon]

Muhammed said beside the move "NO other changes". No changes to post count and no changes to likes.
Actually several of us are no longer in a rural setting and we should probably be kicked off.

Nobody complained, it's one of a number of changes in forum organization that I've planned and only recently had the capability to sort out a growing problem with "good post" numbers.

Ultimately my goal is to better organize the forum for easier use, but also come up with an elegant solution to recognize members who contribute knowledge, and activity.

Not trying to ruffle feathers as I didn't see the forum header under which a thread is posted to be an important factor, or at least not as important as the content that's being posted.

 

[Buppies]

It is his playground to do with as he wants if I don’t like it I leave. I do not believe you need to own acreage to be here knowledge and comradery among us sharing stories values how to fix how to do things and sometimes we make friends along the way

Thanks for telling us.

Could you create a thread where ONLY you and mods keep track of all changes in the last (for example) 30 days and keep it updated? Someplace where we could KNOW what you've done to the board recently.
Change is almost always resented. But it's frustrating to see threads disappear.

thanks for the explanation
was wondering if I needed to have a timeout for talking too much...
I agree with Buppies, happy to be an invited guest
