Can we have a Biden Admin Forum?

Also, can the emoji choices be expanded?

Please, and thank you. smile

Agreed and last time I tried to create a new forum you know what happened.
I couldn't get it right, but I will keep trying.
Also, I AM trying to restore the emojis, they're called GRAEMLINS in UBB Land but I cannot figure out how to restore them the way I added them on the old board.

I hope I can figure this stuff out!

I've begun adding back the "graemlins" and I am trying to figure out how to add a Biden forum which I agree is at least a year overdue.
God do I ever miss Scoutgal but now I miss her even more because she knew how to twiddle the buttons.

The Biden Administration forum is showing now.

The newly added gremlins are selectable, but don't show when posted.

Rick, I appreciate your adding to Jeff's punch list, but he's just one guy...

Here's a genuine suggestion. You have the ability to start threads. If you want to take on the responsibility of posting CHB columns for discussion (a great idea, I think), it's within your power. I think the forum still exists. Have at it, my friend. smile


A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.

Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich

No no I don't mind....the problem is, I think I must be a kind of idiot-savant or an artificially induced one.
I can learn ANY editing software in twenty minutes, okay?
But this UBB Threads software is like trying to learn Sanskrit...my brain just burps and farts when I try.

I think I WILL "get it" eventually and don't worry, I know which areas to stay away from so I won't blow up the forum.

Back out in the real world after wife Amy and I came down with COVID just a day apart. She tested negative this morning and I was cleared Tuesday. I tested negative after five days, then positive again the day after, and wasn't cleared until I had two negative tests in a row (which happened Tuesday). CDC says the infection rate this Memorial Day was five times higher than last year but deaths are down except for Seniors 75 and over, even with boosters. Hope they fix that before I turn 75 in December.

I agree that UBB is throwing curves at us. I'm looking for a PHP forum software that will import our UBB data to see if we can come up with something better. I hope I can stay healthy long enough to do it, with help from you folks.

Last Saturday 05/28 I woke up to a sore throat and ear ache. Also felt pressure in my head. Took aspirin and Tylenol and slept most of the day. Sunday felt normal. Did have a deep cough the was very infrequent. Felt fine/normal most Sunday. Felt fine Memorial Day. Felt fine yesterday TU 05/31.

Woke-up this morning WE 06/01 and did not feel fine. Even considered calling in sick for a split second, but dismissed calling in sick because I am the only driver to get all eight of us to work. Only me plus three others rode today. I was not feeling great at work and left after three hours of work.

The transit authority that we get our vanpool from allows four rides home each calendar year via taxi for riders. I told the other three to take a taxi home.

Came home, slept for six hours, took a COVID test and was POZ. Welp, I went just over two years without catching COVID. For me, it's like a cold plus hay fever. The worst symptom that I have is watery eyes (ergo thinking I had a cold + hay fever at the same time. The cottonwood pollen is so much and so thick, it looks like its snowing in 70+-degree weather). The second worse symptom is my internal organs ache.

Other than that, the occasional sneeze, the occasional deep cough, I feel somewhat fine/normal. Going to give Urgent Care a call in the morning to see if I can get that drug that is available now while you have COVID.
