The Search facility does not seem to come up with any forum entries newer than July 2005, no matter what the search term is. Is there a reason? Or have I missed something?

Had a crash and a few things are still not back on schedule here because the owner is a great guy who also has a real life which sometimes needs tending. Ain't no biggie........(;<))

If you can think of a word in the thread title, the filter will find it for you.

Or if not, go ahead and post a new request-- someone with a long memory will probably be able to find the best older threads. Happens often enough. :~)

the technical explanation is that because of some items from the crash - which haven't been fixed yet - an index cannot be run until they are fixed; because the indexing will prevent them BEING fixed. So an index hasn't been run since the crash. Without the index the search can't search the newer material.

Hmmmm...... Tell ya' Mario, that was pretty good snd all but maybe it can be summed up in simpler terms like "The shit be fucked up man."

BTW, I have been forced to spend a lot of time in Zanesville lately and I always think of you.....LOL. AND......although I had never really noticed it before, it IS a terrible place to get around in if you're not familiar with it or at times even if you are! The signage is awful. Still, I hate to tell anyone that as your story, now embellished over the years is soooo much better(:<))

The Google ads below are currently 'Sign of an Alcoholic' and 'Signs Your An Alcoholic' [hsic] 'Sign of An Alcoholic' would make a hell of a pub name, eh? Either that or a good bad really bad song:

At the Sign of the Alcoholic, that's where I drink my booze
Just down the street from the Redemption Center
Turn the corner, go down hill and enter
From there, it isn't far
Just twelve steps away from the bar
It's where I like to go when I got the blues.
