Hi everybody. Thanks to everyone who sent me the secret map to arrive here. I haven't looked around yet so I hope this posts okay. I usually just lurk on the FG forum, just posting occasionally. But I am a regular on Cooks Talk. I am really sad about the mess Tauton has made of their forums. Hopefully they will correct the error of their ways, but I doubt it.

I really feel bad about the cooks - they had such a very active community. I really hope the admins fix everything. It would be a shame if it was wrecked permanently. Welcome!

I lurked in over a CT. Seems more a sense of sadness than of umbrage. (I'm kinda dissapointed because the cooks are so good at taking umbrage. Not like the BreakTimers, mind you, but still good at it.) Ann, I so glad you're with us again. Missed ya, Kiddo. How'a the big Cleveland Bay, Jeeves. Now can we get Plantlust to return to the Sroutoff fold? I think I 've got her email addie. Oughtta email her. Now how about this Karma stuff. Shouldn't I have Karma on seniority alone? Besides at 80 I need all the help I can get. I don't think you can trust me with smiting powers though. Gee I just wanna SMITE sombody. Beej

Hey Beej, watch this:
Ahem. The BEST way to take care of pesky weeds is to spray RoundUp on them. No need to be careful, either, just spray it willy nilly. And for insects, use gallons and gallons of liquid sevin. Also, put down LOTS of fertilizer for healthy plants. Don't EVER waste your money on a soil test...if you add enough chemicals, stuff will grow with wild abandon.
Whew, I've been wanting to say that for a long time. If Kimm were here, I'm pretty sure I'd get smited.

glad you're here BeeJay! you deserve an emeritus icon at the very least.
i'm a bit surprised as well that there hasn't been more raging on CT. it's a ruination there and just before the holidaze is the worst possible timing. Breaktime is going to pitch a royal fit, i think, tho the sense of sadness you mention seems to be there already.
as for wanting to smite someone, feel free to smite the poops at Taunton for ruining all the greatest forums on the internet. smite with wrath. smite with vigor. let's rustle up a smiting party and go over there right now!
i hope Santa has lots of coal for their stockings. they deserve it, IMHO.

Pati, If the cooks want a spot to come and play, I can set up a cook's forum here. Let me know if you sense a need. Of course if they already have something, then never mind.

Gord, I'd be glad to send a message to CT members, if I can figure our how or where to post on the new site. The CT change over didn't happen until last Friday. I haven't visited the site since then but I image they are all still in the mourning stage and haven't gotten to the smiting stage yet.

I haven't visited the site since then but I image they are all still in the mourning stage and haven't gotten to the smiting stage yet. Pati, I created some starter categories for them. Let me know what else I need to add. I never spent much time on Cook's talk. You guys go ahead and do the inviting. I have other stuff I have to get to. On the topic of inviting, should we just a post an open invitation on the OTF forum? Does someone want to go ahead and do that?

How nice of you to build a new home for the CTers. I hope they do come. I actually spent more time there than in OTF, so I'll talk it up some time later today. BTW, I love your clever headings. *L*

OMG!! There are LADIES here. Ok, ok - there are females here. And I may be one of them. It has been my annoying habit not to reveal my gender online (old, long story that I won't bore you with). Whenever forced to pick one to register somewhere, I just go eeny-meeny etc. Yesterday, I noticed that my most recent choice had been accidentally posted under my name here, so I went back and had it hidden. You may think you know what it is, but it's a 50-50 knowing. Or...there's always this possibility: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersexuality

There are a couple of spellings that need to be corrected in the headings--"recipe" & "it's"
