Luna, pammy here!
Lookie at the message at the top of the page:
It says: <<<<<>>>>>

So if there is anything you want to revisit or save, go for it, sistah!
I agree, there are a number of threads full of the fun & frivolous and ones that were lovely, insightful & in-depth. And it was nice to discover that option exists to retrieve stuff for at least a little while.
However, we can view this is an opportunity to begin anew, wiping the slate clean, leaving any of the inharmonious aspects of the old board jettisoned into the big black garbage can of cyberspace where such toxic refuse belongs.

We can look at this is the Sage cleansing roll-out.
I look forward to yours and Leslee's continued capricious semantical escapades. I luv 'um.

I like the new format!! It's really attractive!!

I really love the new design. It'll take some getting used to and requires the re-routing of some brain circuitry - used to going on other pathways - but soon we'll overcome that awkward learning curve and all will be well.
I, for instance, can't seem to find text editing properties: italics, text size, font etc.....Perhaps this option doesn't exist. And when I attempted to add the quote at the top of the page referencing the archives, it didn't appear in my post. But no worries. With a little further exploration and patience, I'll figure it out.
I must say, the colors chosen: shades of black, red, yellow, white etc. are very nice. I'm enjoying the departure from the standard blue color scheme usually paired with the band.

My wish:
I hope the cosmetic revamping of the board secondarily serves as as a new opportunity for all Moodies fans to express themselves freely, while feeling welcomed and valued, be they the occasional or regular board poster,
Best Wishes to MBT and all present and future posters.
May this community be a happy, healthy one operating with a good balance of fun, maturity, kindness and consideration for one another.
Amen

hi Pammy! Lovely to see you - how's the view of the "ruins of Xanadu" looking from your artistic vision these days?

Hi , my lovely little free-thinking friend.
All is well. Things are looking good.
This change, I believe, is good and all will be well as long as civility, and decency prevail.
A simple task for a great bunch of people bonded by their love of music, the Moodies and on-line community interaction.

luna ~ I've got Hearst Castle on my America's Castles Set, have seen many specials and read much about it. Would LOVE to visit it, as I am an architectural, antique, historical fiend.
I saw on another thread your mention of doing a FLW (group of houses) tour. Oh what a treat!!! Get this, my g.friends mom used to live in a house built by a FLW protege, in Silver Spring MD. It even had a unique hut-like mushroomy type shed structure out back. It was quintessential Arts & Crafts, with built in furniture, lighting....whole nine yards. Very cool. Well, she had to sell. Found a buyer. Had no idea until after she signed and sold that the buyer would TEAR IT DOWN. To think that fantastic house gone. UGH! I'd have been sick. LOL not even my house and I was sick for days after hearing about it!!

People are nuts... many of FLWs originals have been torn down, in fact last December my brother and I went and saw one that was going to be demolished by a developer .... what a dummy, all he had to do was restore and charge admission, it would be worth it! >>>>

Pam says: Yes, you can say that about so many old buildings. But there is always that battle between those wishing to preserve the style and craftsmanship of the past and those wishing to tear town and put in a parking garage, a Walmart or some other modern, imo, blight.
Thanks God for preservationists and the like. So often the battle to preserve cultural/historical/architectural heritage is lost and what is left are memories, folklore, paintings and photographs - if we're lucky.

You had a rich childhood. I've seen a good deal of film footage of Wright at work. Cool, your having been to Taliesin and meeting him as a girl. It's true, building is a grubby work that takes incredible fortitude, resolve and above all vision. No, I take that back, above all one needs great architectural plans and skilled workmen to bring it all to fruition under the architect's clear vision.

Hiya cuties! Nice to see the new format as well. Haven't posted in a LONG time. But lovely to see Pammy around. Miss you terribly!

Hope this new board and format makes for a comfortable chatting area. Been reading a lot off the last one. Too much drama. Can't I get that already on the Bravo network?? I awaiting a reality show with the likes of all going on.

Take care, and keep smiling. (hmmm...familiar phrase)

Melani

ps...what's with the math questions???

.... remind me to tell you if I ever meet you. Wright was a nice old gent, but very human....

I sincerely look forward to it!!

Actually it’s preventing unauthorized robotic entry to one’s response or comment.
I guess you can’t trust anybody or anything these days. So sad
