So Doug do I get a prize for being the first member to sign on to the new site. :) Ha Ha
It's alot different in ways but I love the easier formatting. I think this will be the start of a good thing.
Congratulations on your new home "server"

Doug, I finally figured out how to get re registered!!! OH it is painful to be dragged at my age kicking and screaming into this brave new digital world! I like the new look and you are sure right about this not being Kansas any more. I think Toto got plattered on the electronic yellow brick road-- or perhaps it was just a busted fanbelt I saw. Tom

Y'all are starting to trickle in. It's been lonely over here :(

Funny how the switch was made for some people, but not for all. Oh well, I'll keep pasting the messages over until everyone's been switched.

Doug,

You mean all the others are still on the old server? I thought we would all move to the new site at the same time.

Good luck Doug.

It will take some getting used to, but it should all fall into place.

I like the looks of it for sure! It will take a little getting used to, but I'm pretty sure it will be worth it.

I think Debbie deserves one "attagirl" for being the first.:)

Hi All!

I've been wandering around looking at the new forum.

Lookin' good, Doug.

May take this old woman a bit to get used to the new bells and whistles, but I think we are all gonna like 'em.

Ohhhh! And I see the Archives have a good start. What is that one with the magical floating baby???

Ha Ha,
Farron

Just a note on the "floating baby". If it's the photo I think you're talking about, that's my grandfather holding my mother. She was one of sixteen children, and he had a photo made with each of them like that. This one however, is the only one I know of that is still in existence.

Was the intent to look like magic, or are we reading into it something different than he intended? Was he a professional magician or something like that?

No, he was a carpenter. I'm not sure of the intent.

Well I made it into the new world here..... I'm posting as fast as my little fingers will go...there's so many great people here and so much to talk about I feel like we could all visit for ages and not cover everything.

Doug, the site is fantastic.... it will be even better after I figure out all the ins and outs but I'll be scooting along in no time.

Have a great and safe day all :)
