There have been issues since they were forced to upgrade the site almost a year ago. Some have persisted and some come and go. The issues today have been major over the past two hours. Complete site failures and other annoyances.

I saw someone earlier had a quadruple post in a thread, LOL. This is a seriously annoying issue. Been hours.

Everyone is thinking their posts are not working and everyone is double posting. Pretty weird. If you post or hit a reaction, you have to refresh the page, but the action does happen correctly every time.

At one point yesterday, all I could see on my phone was the gray scrolling background and nothing else. :)

I watched the original shows. You could make a "best of" tape that would last for days. TV was a lot more fun back then and there were only a few channels. As long as you figured out how to wrap the rabbit ears antenna with tin foil to help the reception. :)
Yup, remember having to do that all the time. Wonder how many here are old enough to remember that :p

... You are adopting a kid, in that agencies eyes. Lifelong commitment, no backsies.

I adopted my malamute ages ago at a petsmart... Little dude came with a list of requirements a mile and a half long.

I'm not ashamed to say I followed literally none of them and he lived 25 happy, silly, grumpy, old dog years.

So spoiled.

Getting a dog that size to 25 years is quite an accomplishment. I had one that made it to 18, but it was a Shih Tzu. My oldest Husky will be 13 May 5th.

In hindsight it was an act of pure selfishness, but I still to this day miss that dog.

He was so much more than a pet to me. As he got older, he developed a condition common to GSDs where he could not feel or coordinate his hind legs. laying down and getting up confused him so much. Yet he was too stubborn to let it affect him, so he'd roll his hips until he felt his front paws touch his back, and push himself up using that sense of touch to orient his hind legs...

I miss how intelligent he was sometimes, especially after the little husky you see in that picture... that's him teaching her where all the cool things in the yard are...

Probably not many. And having to get up from your seat to go to the television to "click" through the channels. While color TVs were available when I was a kid, they were very expensive, hardly anyone had them, and only a few shows actually broadcast in color. Not many people actually had color TVs until around 1965, if I remember correctly. I was about 9 before I actually saw a color TV broadcast. While Disney had "The Wonderful World of Color" TV show in the 50s, the very first color show I can remember seeing was "Johnny Quest." It had to be the first prime time animated series and it was broadcast in color. :)

Everyone waited for Sunday nights to see who was going to be on the Ed Sullivan Show. He premiered all of the big acts back then, from Elvis to the Beatles. I saw the Beatles first TV appearance and it was amazing. :)
