Foamy T. Squirrel

I once input data for a large database of deaths, dating back to the 1850's. This included deaths from polio (really scared parents in the 50's), scarlet fever, smallpox, measles (deadly sucker there- surprisingly), cholera, and infections from simple cuts. Plague existed in North America, but not to the same extent as it had in Europe and the rest of the world. My data also included "kicked in the head by a cow," "fell off a train" and much later, in the 1920's, it became "died in an automobile accident." Other data input included mentions of several hundred unknown people when the boiler on their steamship exploded. I can tell you where many of these fellow humans are buried. All of your ancestors kept moving forward, and survived long enough to create you. That's ten points in your favor.

For some damn reason, this song reminds me of Audrey Hepburn and the comments in the Leora thread over many years...But it is masterful. And iconic. Not that the goddess would know it. But Audrey would.

See my previous comment. I am sorry for offending anybody here. Except CP posters and trolls. Removed.

I've taught people with mental disabilities. None of them were retarded. The were making the most of what their abilities allowed. But the comment was in bad taste for many people, and has been deleted. I have no argument.

Yep. Kinda sorta. And it's totally irrelevant to this thread.

I'll accept your opinions. You are entitled to them. However, my valley will be 105F this week, and the mountains, lakes and snow are 1-1:30 hours away. I'll be outta here. As for Leora, she should have gotten into the squirrel rescue business years ago...

Do you think Leora has some misgivings about joining this RLC project? Or leaving Krasnoyarsk and moving to Prague? Or the type of work she is doing? Does she often ask herself such questions? Should I go camping in the forest this week?

While I'm at it, I want you to know that you have all ruined my adulthood dreams: 🤣

This is why I hate feuds between members. Incidentally, in the matter of feuds, both parties usually get called out on it. And then we mods get attacked by both sides. ("But mommy -- he started it!") I was supportive of banning one none-Premium member from WorldWide Politics (also supposed to be unmoderated), because he was clearly an outsider hired by a campaign to spread propaganda throughout social media. In other words, an outside-of-CC troll. Your "enemy" also got a dressing down. Personally, I just hate dealing with Mod Reports from tons of members who are not involved with the feuds and are tired of scrolling through such childishness. If people enjoyed viewing such attention-getting self-indulgence violence by posters, they can always go hang out at 4chan.org/b.

I promise to ban myself tomorrow for being off topic. That will prove that I'm a hard ass for banning people for breaking the rules, and everyone will fear my wrath and will know that I take this place very seriously. So here goes for you bored ass quarantined folks who are non-essential and want to perfect your artistic abilities: https://www.wikihow.com/Type-a-Bunny

Actually, I'm one of the original free speech guys. And I hate the rules. We shouldn't be in a position that we would need them. But I think that cuz I'm old school, and learned forum etiquette on Usenet. I'm the nice, warm, fuzzy and tolerant Mod. So be sweet to me, and I'll be sweet to you. Especially if you can send me a 1,000 piece jig saw puzzle to pass away my quarantine time cuz RLC's been pretty slow lately and somebody else has been hoarding all the pecans from Walmart...

I haven't banned any members in a long time, come to think of it. I suppose I need to recharge my squirrely wrath.

I'm just here because I'm all out of new jig saw puzzles.So I'll just leave this beer:

Although this forum is member-driven (not Moderator-driven -- we are all unpaid members, after all), there are things that happen here that you don't see, sometimes relating to your complaints. Members are responsible for their posts, and the Ignore Function should be used when trolls show up, since these creatures should never be fed. I think Mods should all wear ModCams, so you folks can see how much fun we have cleaning up these childish food-fights. It sucks. Keep the Apartment threads clean and sparkly, and Foamy will be a happy squirrel. This moderator opinion is meant for ALL MEMBERS! It is not particularly directed to any member in particular.

Perhaps she's not getting along with Putin, but it's more likely the weather. St. Pete's is beautiful with a great history and culture, but Rome is no laggard in that regard, either. Me, I couldn't handle winters in St. Pete's unless I was bundling up with Eva or Chloe, and that won't be happening this week...

Leave the squirrels out of it. They're not nocturnal. If I were you, I would suspect skunks. Or gators. Out here in socialist land, we have just as much bread flour (which I use for bread -- surprise) as people did in Soviet Russia. Meaning, good luck. Shelves are almost always empty. This is not acceptable in America. Little squirrel is pissed.

Oldest Internet Rule on the Internet from the days of Usenet: Don't feed the Trolls. They gather like squirrels whenever they get attention and commence to chew up everything in sight. Scrolling Scrolling Scrolling, keep that mouse a-scrolling! This is irrelevant, but you must admit it's funky:

Sadly, our job as Moderators is to clean up food fights WAY TOO OFTEN. We also try, with member's help, to ban-hammer spammers so our members don't need to deal with their crap. We also try, also with your observations and support, to block illegal posts. (If you don't know what an illegal post is, get off CC.) You generally won't see this sort of stuff when you log on. But we can't eliminate food fights, and when we step in, we always get plastered from both sides. Moderators (all of us are devilishly handsome) and the illustrious and most honored Forum Admin are all just members here. Just volunteers. If you wish to take our place, read the rules, and suggest that you be voted by the members and accepted by Godmin as a replacement for me. That way I'll be able to have fun pestering the Moderators with endless pranks, drivel, and trollish fun. 😁 I'll just leave this beer:

Speaking of your Covid lifestyle, have you finished any good jig-saw puzzles lately? 😁

Damn, our members are getting bored around here. Whelp, my friends: SINCE THERE IS NO FUCKING VOYEUR OR ADULT REALITY STUFF ON THE INTERNET anyway, I suggest we ignore all the porno sites and flood our site (probably Old Dude's) with some of the subjects we talk about here. Sometimes it's about weather. Sometimes it's about how Woof ran the show around here. Properly. Arbitrarily, as an enlightened ruler, but unencumbered by the undesirable chaos of Bureaucratic Rules. Sometimes it's about shitty members causing feuds. Haven't see the Kiddie spam people in a long time. Just the usual trolls and spammers. Give 10 points for us CC mods there. I would like to see Paris before I die. That's a hint to certain members. Not gonna push it now days. Sometimes we talk about medical issues. Maybe some hints are helpful or comforting. Usually it's both, but also meaningless, as we are all headed inexorably to oblivion regardless. Pizza is another issue. Let me explain: I make my own bread from scratch. No salt added, doctor's orders. I can make my own tomato paste, from scratch, no salt added. Meat and cheese must be added on top; this often contains salt, primarily on the cheese or anything processed like pepperoni or bacon that is added as a topping. All this is fairly easily accomplished even if one is on a low-salt diet, but regardless, making the perfect pizza crust is the most important procedure in the entire process. It is an art, and very difficult. It also ABSOLUTELY requires that red wine or real beer must be served. Not than non-drinkers need to drink it, but the experience is diminished. Not that a busty Italian woman should sit on your lap, but without it, your experience is severly dimished. Unlike pizza, all other Italian dinners require garlic bread in addition to the above. Granted, I learned this from Italian immigrants to North America who had been here quite a while, and they have flourished, and generally enjoyed their large families during dinners. Though their dinners have changed because of the abundance of ingredients in their recipes, it's important to them to share it with others. I kinda miss that now during this Covid-19 year, even if the grandkids formerly made a mess at the table. Next week's squirrel talk: Chinese Food! Nom Nom Nom...

and I'm all out of bubble gum... 😉

Wrong thread maybe? Everybody here loves Leora, and always has, regardless of her circumstances, and anybody who doesn't gets their ass kicked.

Looks like a stinky member is risking the squirrely wrath. Better check your radiator hose before you go anywhere. I've already cleared your attic and emptied your bird feeder.
