I tried everything to fix that annoyance but to no avail, then about mid afternoon today it totally stopped on its own accord.

I think they should be fired because they became cops for the the sole purpose of doing harm to the people of Austin Texas.

Ever since I was a kid, which was the last time I ate it, it always gave me problems even then. I merely decided one day to stop eating it and I haven’t touched it since.

Trump bellowed to his supporters on Saturday that "If these radical, vicious, racist prosecutors do anything wrong or illegal, I hope we are going to have in this country the biggest protest we have ever had." I think Trump is saying 2 things - stop the investigation and if you are charged I will pardon you. I added a link to more info and the part about his business dealings is half way down the page.

It’s the same way when I have used sleeping bags; I zip myself in completely. Not only that, but I can do either of these (sleep with blankets covering my face and head or zipped into a sleeping bag) for extended periods of time, up to and including the whole night. I do not have a problem breathing that way, nor am I claustrophobic. No one else I’ve known has ever been able to do it for more than a few minutes at a time, and everyone marvels that they don’t see how I can do it without suffocating.

The link shown above refers to some type of blockage that blocked up AnswerMug and kept many members from being able to access the website. My post below is one aspect of what I believe to have some connection to the outage. The two events took place too close to each other to be random and unconnected. For approximately the past 12 hours, whenever I click on one of my Notifications here that takes me to an answer or a comment or a Like that someone has left for me, that same notification repeats several times, as many as 5 or 6 times, even though prior to the outage, a site moderator recently stated that multiple instances of the same notification does do not occur or only occurs based on how a member has his or her settings arranged.
