    Thanks for the heads up
    marye. There ARE some real oddballs showing up now-people blabbering nonsense and hit-and-run insults. And now at least one instance of harrassment-OY! Am sure the 99.9999% lovely folk here will stick together and beware.********************************** Don't part with your illusions.

    heads up folks
    Regarding the chat room: when the new version went live, we discovered that people can access the chat room without being logged on to Dead.net. As it usually does, this led to some problems, mainly with drive-by types who came in and posted nasty stuff and vanished. We thought we had that security hole plugged, as it were, but I'm hearing more reports of strange posts from people no one knows, and I've just had a really alarming PM from one of the ladies here who was in the chatroom, ran into a person with a perfectly legit-sounding name, and was invited to a private chat by said person. No sooner did she get there than he commenced some fairly vile sexual harassment. Following up, I find we have no such user. Of COURSE. I have sent up an emergency flare in Jonathan's direction. But meanwhile, we encourage you to exercise some street smarts in the chat room. In particular, do not go into private chats with people you do not know well. Hang out with them in the public chat room to get a sense of who they are. I'll keep you posted on the technical side, but meanwhile, watch each card etc. Thank you. ME with the mod hat on

Shutting down the chat room sure has livened up the forums. Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

That's funny, I saw Central's comment about ol' Nurse Ratched & looked up the movie. I've never seen it before. Only read the book. Can't go wrong with Jack. How's your tile coming along?

I'll always take the book over the movie bc then you can envision the story yourself. What really gets me is when they change things for the movie. I understand for time etc... but important parts. Man, that burns me up! Not saying Hannibal is on the same scale as Cuckoo, but when they made Hannibal they totally changed the ending. ?!? Oh well, that's Hollywood for you. :-)

was actually on my assigned reading list in ninth grade English. I always thought that was pretty open-minded for a stuffy New England prep school. Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

Yes, when I was very small . The main difference I remember is The Emerald City.Originally, the glasses with green lenses made the city emerald. I do love the OZ movie & Return to Oz for that matter. In Return they send Dorothy to the nut house. Ever seen The Never Ending Story? LOVE that movie. Never read the book, there's probably one out there though. I must watch Cuckoo this weekend! Thanks Kindly. Have a nice evening. Maybe the chatroom will be ready tomorrow. PEACE

aren't most books better? Even sequels fall short in almost every case. Kesey's is a classic. Love the Big Indian myself. Our old school nurse WAS nurse Ratchet...a scary chick indeed. Warm and heading up to 72 degrees tomorrow in Philly! Have a good evening to all. (even JC) Ami

If you're going to San FranciscoBe sure to wear some protest banners in your hair If you're going to San Francisco You're gonna meet some angry people there For those who come to San Francisco Summertime will be a Chinese olympic protest there In the streets of San Francisco Pissed people with signs in the air All across the nation such a strange vibration People in motion There's a whole generation with a new explanation People in motion people in motion For those who come to San Francisco Be sure to wear some emblems on your shirt If you come to San Francisco Summertime will be a demonstration there If you come to San Francisco Summertime will be a rally there
