Don't know about the rest, but I aim to stick around until they drop kick me out.

It might get down to just the two of us.

Been known to happen.

It's definitely better in respects, but it just isn't "home". Oh well, I suppose once a few years have gone by again we'll have settled in.

In what respects?
I remember the last upgrade about 5 year ago had me discombobulated for a bit but the assimilation to the new format was not as daunting as this time.

Unless I missed something (easy to do now) the only one I remember is the son's first one.
If enough of us get frustrated, they might go back to the old format. I heard the 2nd Tuesday of next week, if it snows in St. Louis

Dax called me to see if I was OK when I fell from the face of the earth.

PM function is much nicer, for one, and we have enhanced abilities with the premium memberships. We can delete posts, and the bookmarks tab makes saving threads easier.

@ChickenCanoe I'm sorry to hear about the accidents. I'm glad that nobody was hurt but that had to be rediculously frustrating. It's good to see you back.

Thanks for that. Perhaps by winter I'll be able to negotiate it more easily.
Not intuitive for me at this point.

The PM function may be nicer but I have yet to see a 'send PM' button.

I still can't use search for beans. Quite maddening.

What is wrong with using a still air incubator? Can I just put a fan over it to circulate air?

There's nothing wrong with using a still air bator if you rotate the eggs to different spots. They tend to have hot/cool spots in them. You can usualy add a computer fan to them to circulate air but I don't think just putting a fan over it would help.
