Spoke too soon, After I pay our supplemental medicare insurance premiums, which are also due on Monday, we will have less than 200.00 in the bank until I get a payment from the newspaper I do contract work for. Normally, that arrives around the 10ths, so we can eat but not much. Never though I would be spending our final days this day's, but I guess it happens.

The best I can do is download the full site and find a web host that will let us get it back onlin3 as soon as we can, with help great fully appreciated. Please understand that anything donated for RR will go only for it. I will start working with other web host immediately with the hope we can have it running again without much delay.

I will start a full download of the site at midnight, but will not bake it down until Monday or later if we find a solution.

Thanks so much, Jeff and everyone. I'm having trouble finding a way to thank everyone.

It has been a long run. I will try, with your help, to keep it going.

We need a way to pony up the cash. I can drop a few hundred in the kitty if I can just find the kitty...

Same here. Does doug have a pay pal account? Easy way to shoot money at someone quickly.


It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.

Just had an online chat with the folks at PHPBB. They can import all the data from RR into their program. They have become home to others since UBB hasn't updated their site forever. They are examiing the site now and will get back to me and they say they can host it on my new server.

Keeping my fingers crossed.

Thank you, Mark, for a generous donation. You may see a note from PayPal wanting to know what I shipped to you and when. I told him it was a purchase of an item that had to be shipped, but they wanted a confirmation from the sender. I haven't been using PayPal a lot lately, and they got nervous. Thank you again. Much appreciated.
