Would be great to keep it to the point of the thread, as opposed to hi-jacking. Plenty of room for another thread to vent about mask mandates, etc. If you really had it, good deal to be one of the lucky folks with fairly benign symptoms. GreayGhost85, for me the primary impact has been the lingering affect on my taste (hyper sensitive to spicy/salty). That being said though, yes, I have felt a little 'off' as well. Am trying to chalk it up to being work at home and basically not eating as well as I used to. Trying to get back closer to my healthy eating habits, exercise, hot yoga, etc,, and hoping that will help get me back to normal.

I had it in late November. A week or so of feeling very crappy/fatigued, then a week or so of feeling just sort of 'off'. Taste and smell went wonky, but didn't disappear. Strange thing for me, was that in January (as my taste/smell was slowly coming back, my taste buds started to get hyper-sensitive to spicy/salty/sour foods. Basically, my tongue would feel like it was burning with even mild salty/spicy. It sucks because like a lot of southern Arizona natives, I LOVE spicy food! That has been slowly fading over the past several weeks, but still lingering a bit.

That is a great looking car! I've always been partial towards the Italian and German brands. Have looked at the Ghibli’s, and really like them! Can't bring myself to get rid of my little ol' two seater (911) to make room, though. (One of the disadvantages of living in an older neighborhood. No BIG 3+ car garage! lol) Market looks solid and it's a fair price. I imagine you'll get a taker soon.

Thanks! Yep, almost. She came from a Dec 16th litter.

OUTSTANDING!!!!! I’m just starting to work with my little tyke, as well. So much fun!! She is also still locking-up and holding well in house flys! 🤣

Moderating this sort of thing can be extremely burdensome, and putting in technical rules/parameters may or may not be an option depending on the hosting software, etc. Buyers beware!!!! Best defense against scammers is a little common sense and judgement by the users. S.

Excellent!!!!! Cool that you got your first gobbler! Also looks like you guys know how to camp! Good stuff! S.

That scammer account has now been banned. Everybody BEWARE!!!!

Most of you have likely noticed more threads regarding scammers and account hacking, lately. T here have been multiple occurrences of folks getting private messages from new members offering to connect with someone selling stuff. Obviously, everyone needs to keep their scammer-radar on high alert and use your judgement on these. If you get contacted by a brand new member and the vibe feels 'scammy', then send myself or another admin a note about it. There has also been a couple of instances recently where a user account is hacked, and suspicious (or just plain lame) content and malicious activity occurs. As/when this happens, our only choice is to shut that account down. If you find that your account is suddenly inaccessible to you, hopefully you have a friend or contact that can message one of the admins, else open a new account. There are 1000s of user accounts, and thus far the occurrence of account take-overs has been super rare, but it might not be a bad idea for folks to go in and change your password just to be safe (Honestly, 'internet site 101' would say all of us should do that on a regular basis anyway...).

I don't have them all right here at my fingertips. Tried to get in touch with the user name owners offline. Had you been impacted or involved in it, you definitely would have known.

Yes, it is happening. Lame!!

Either son or I. Of course hoping it’s him! He’s a much better shot that I am, anyway... 😉

I wouldn't get too worked-up over it. Happens all the time. (You must not have noticed the posts above mentioning it.) Usually a product of various bank's system processing as they move charges from 'pending' status....

Jnb-scammer is now gone. Yep, more and more of this. Interesting MO, in that lately the thing is primarily private messaging. The process to sign-up was enhanced in the last couple of years to include e-mail validation, etc. (Standard stuff for most websites today.....) Not fool proof though, especially with the sophistication of bots and such. Scammers constantly working to stay a step or two ahead of website validation/security.

MidFirst (relatively small bank....)

Welcome to the site!

The scammer account was deleted.

Isn’t that one of the ONLY topics here, lately? 🙄🤣

Good point, that was pretty low..... LOL

And rock bottom would be VERY low around here lately, wouldn't it....

What??? 🙄 Crap, never mind.... I think I just took the bait.🤣

Nope, not him either. I've seen it like 5-6 times in the past several months. It's funny, because it seems like it's just some 'normal' (if that exists...) dudes. Not the controversial ones. I would feel weird outing them, though. So I suppose will let them have their fun. Seems the controversial ones are comfortable enough in their own skins to post anything they want anyhow, so no need for an alter ego.

No, but that's not a bad guess. 😂

The latter, it looks like. Seems that some folks just want some sort of an alter-ego that they can comment with. IP addresses tell the story. For the record, with VERY little exception the only profiles that actually get 'banned' are the spammers. Plenty of content gets deleted on a post by post basis, but banning the average user has been super rare.
