Will the SKMB be closed for Christmas-- still available to read, but no new posting so the Moderators can have family time??
This message board permanently closed on June 30th, 2020 at 4PM EDT and is no longer accepting new members.
I'm not a mod (lol), but I believe Flake said something about that happening. I'm sorry, but I can't remember on which thread she made her comment.
Just got our holiday schedule on Friday. I'll be working until noon on the 24th, off Christmas day, and until noon on the 26th. I've told the other Mods to take off Christmas day as I'd like them to spend time with their family and not worry about moderating especially as it is a volunteer, unpaid position for them. This Board is a little more difficult to shut down than the vBulletin one so am not planning to ask Jordan to close it down completely. However, those who are still in the moderated status may have to wait a little longer before their posts will go live.
Edited: And as a present to the Moderators, maybe the rest of you can behave yourselves for a day or two.
Um, that ain't happenin'......... All kidding aside, it IS the Holiday season so I guess I can restrain myself some.Just got our holiday schedule on Friday.

I'll even take a 3-day holiday away from the Hot Topics forum. Wouldn’t want to chance rousing up any of those evil spirits.Edited: And as a present to the Moderators, maybe the rest of you can behave yourselves for a day or two.
If there was a way (maybe there is, hmmmm...) to just shut down those areas temporarily, that would be on my Wish List and that would avoid that temptation.I'll even take a 3-day holiday away from the Hot Topics forum. Wouldn’t want to chance rousing up any of those evil spirits.
I'm assiduously trying to give them up entirely. Giving them up for Advent, maybe? lolIf there was a way (maybe there is, hmmmm...) to just shut down those areas temporarily, that would be on my Wish List and that would avoid that temptation.
Hmmm... You sayin' you can't trust me?If there was a way (maybe there is, hmmmm...) to just shut down those areas temporarily, that would be on my Wish List and that would avoid that temptation.
I said no such thing--implied maybe --but it's not just you I'd have to worry about so no insult intended.Hmmm... You sayin' you can't trust me?
Now if we could just get the rest of the world to adopt that philosophy, maybe we could have whirled peas for the holidays.I'm assiduously trying to give them up entirely. Giving them up for Advent, maybe? lol
Right back atcha, luv! I'm doing alright, Marsha. Thanks for asking. Had to go and pay the surgery bill earlier or I lose the discount (I love saving $$!) and also because I have an HSA account and in 4 days it will be frozen until the new bank takes over on Jan. 1st. Gotta get my ducks all lined up, doncha know? Had me a little nap after I got home. How are you doing? Are you still using the turbo-charged scooter thingy?
How are you doing today?
Ditto! And let's not forget Julie!!!Merry Christmas to our Mods,Jordan and Brian. May you all enjoy.
Somebody had asked about whether we would be--earlier in Dec (I think?) and I wasn't sure, had just been remembering what had happened the previous year.I'm not a mod (lol), but I believe Flake said something about that happening. I'm sorry, but I can't remember on which thread she made her comment.

Thank you, MsMod.
We can all use this Holiday to read all the postings we often do not have time to visit. Tons of info in "Written Works". Visit the profile of members and get to know them better.
A good time to step back and just read.
Wishing all the Mods a Merry Christmas!!
Two more weeks for the scooter then I get promoted to walking on both feet using 2 crutches for a week. If I do okay with that, I go to 1 crutch for 2 weeks and by that point will be back for a recheck with the doc to see if I can throw that crutch away (I hear that in a tent revival voice ). Then on to physical therapy.Right back atcha, luv! I'm doing alright, Marsha. Thanks for asking.
