    Of course, I am committed, hopefully there is a finish line somewhere in time.

    If the site goes down, how many of us would fit in the life rafts?

      Jane S will be floating by on a wooden door 




       and I’ll be in the water holding onto the edge of it (freezing my patootie off in the process), it will be so touching and beautiful and romantic, ala Rose and Jack in “Titanic” . . . hey, wait a second! That didn’t turn out so well for Jack by the time the movie ended! I want an entire rewrite for the Jane and Randall version! Scrap the whole last five minutes, have them both get rescued, extend the film another 45 minutes on top of its already ridiculously long running time, but that’s necessary in order to include more sex scenes. Those are a mandatory contractual clause whenever I appear as the subject, character, or actor in any production, but especially when Jane S is also simultaneously depicted. And have the costume designer rig up a flimsier life jacket for Jane S; this needs to be as realistic as possible, people! Grrrrrrrr.

      Grrrrrr, I think this is yet another case of impersonation and photoshopping on that image.

    I miss all of the activity back in the day. The old place was as active as Twitter or close to it I suppose.

    This site shot itself in the foot by allowing a few to post over and over and over on the same subject.  People got tired  trying to navigate through the BS.  The old AB never moderated for silly stuff but they got rid of people who behaved like a few that are still here.  When AB closed this site got the bulk of the refugees.  It was an opportunity missed.  My opinion.

    I'm here for lack of a better place to go.  It used to be more interesting when there were more participants.

    I love the QnA format.  Fewer participants (than some place like Facebook) is a plus and you feel like you get to know people.  Facebook is a burden...I enjoy that I've connected with old friends but I don't need to see them every day.  Most of my close friends don't even have an account there.  I run a group that helps retirees from my former company navigate retirement's issues, most importantly medical insurance and healthcare.  I check on those folks daily.

    I like the format, too, but when there were more folks on here, there were more topics to explore and more people with whom to interact.  I use Facebook to keep up with friends and family mostly, but I also belong to a neighborhood group to stay up on what's happening in my neighborhood.

    I'm not planning to leave, but I've seen too many people drift away to say it won't ever happen. I do think it's up to us to figure out what we can do to make the site more entertaining.

    I can tap dance and chew bubble gum at the same time, will that help?

    Yeah, I suppose co-dependence isn't all that bad.

    Slartibartfast’s answer made me think of something.  We need life jackets in the AM gift shop.
