Thanks for the info about your team and league! I only follow Premier League closely (my team is Swansea City, who have had a disappointing season and only guaranteed themselves another top-flight season just last week with their win over Liverpool) and Bundesliga semi-closely (I don't follow any particular team, but I do enjoy watching matches on occasion), so I am well-aware of how the Champions League works. Hope everything works out for your club today! I've just had the endless joy of watching my team, get slaughtered at home by your second string. Enjoy the day - apart from the first 20 minutes, your lot were by far the better team - we were unspeakably dreadful What a way for me to say goodbye to our ground...

Goals from both Ayew and Gomis! But.... My team won... pardon me, slaughtered Monaco!!!! 6-1!!!!!! 2-0 after 8 mn!!!! Maybe their most accomplished game of the season along their victory against PSG. That was a perfect evening appart from the server of my fantasy league going on strike 5 mn before deadline, which prevented me from modifying my team the way I had intended and technicly putting Lacaztte on the bench instead of having him earn the full points of his 3 goals and 1 assist.

Yeah yeah, haha. I'm teaching them well. But for sure, we're mostly using 80ies LP's that I could easily find again if scratches happened, cool uplifting music such as Kid Creole, Prince, Arthur Russell... As for comics, they're allowed around my IDW Disney ducks hardcover collections and Jim Woodring's Frank Hardcovers, thick paper pages, so I should be safe. And they are not even three, so a plastic bag or a sink with water is enough to entertain them for hours anyways, hahaha. That's good then! Good music choices too! I'm glad if something happens they can be found again, as well. also good for the thick pages and hardcovers. They're definitely starting off to a good start! You're right. Around that age, they're easily entertained!

That's a lot of places to visit and a lot of places you already went! Sounds busy, but not a bad busy. I'm sorry to hear about your dad. You have my condolences. I hope you find all the answers you need and that they come easy. A Family Memoir sounds like a wonderful idea. You'll be good at it, I know it. Thanks for your condolences Sabra! ... and I'm putting together pieces by pieces of my Family Memoir that I spend about a hour or two a day on it. I just spent 40 minutes on it today and my brother appreciated the information that I gave him. My sister in law is a fast typist and a English Scholar and we spend about 2 hours together on a Wednesday Evening putting it all together and hope to have it done by Fall. We wanted to do this for future generations to come. I apologize, I'm at work on my phone, so I can't edit the post to make it a smaller quote without messing up the coding. You're very welcome. I'm glad it seems to all be coming together! And that everyone is making an effort to help! I think future generations will most definitely appreciate it in the years to come. My great uncle is pulling our family history together and he gives me all the information he comes across. I enjoy it and greatly appreciate it, so I'm positive your family's descendants will too! So no matter how far out y'all spread, y'all always know who you can come back to.

Oh, you guys!! This is neat!! Not sure if all Walmarts are doing it, but at my Walmart where I work, I found a section in the cards (trading cards) of packs of out of print comic books. There's four in a pack and it's five dollars for a pack. Thought it was interesting. Thinking of picking up one to see what's in it! That is awesome! I really miss those. They used to have these?? Sweet!! I didn't know! I hadn't seen them until last night when I was zoning the section.

Thank you! I missed y'all too! Life has gotten better. It's not great, but it's definitely better! Thank you! How have you been? Good thank you. Ive been through some struggles but the light at the end of the tunnel seems to be getting brighter. I'll probably be getting back into comics myself too. I've been pretty stagnant. Thank you for your concern. Oh, you guys!! This is neat!!

There's four in a pack and it's five dollars for a pack. Thought it was interesting. Thinking of picking up one to see what's in it! I remember seeing those in Woolworth's and Walgreens when I lived in St Louis when I started with comics in the 90's. Didn't realize they were still around. But to be honest I don't go there much and when I did work their for a bit in 2011, I don't remember seeing them. But I liked them when I would see them because of the surprise of what might be inside. I also apologize for the non-edited post here. I'm sorry you've been going through struggles But I'm super glad the light is getting brighter! I hope it keeps getting brighter for you until you're out of the dark tunnel! Wow, they were a thing in the 90's?? That's so cool! I hadn't a clue! This is my first time seeing them and I'm super interested. Actually I've decided, before I leave work in the morning, I'll pick one up.

I'm on Android, and I just use the Firefox app. Editing is no problem for me, but I sometimes switch to the desktop version if I want to access some buttons I'm not certain about.

That's what I used too and even on my iPhone, I use Safari and will go on Desktop mode when needed. I have Tapatalk downloaded and have had it, but I haven't used it to post anything.

I'm glad enough that CCF still displays properly on Firefox on my Xperia; some of the other forums I visit get really slow and cumbersome when I'm on Firefox, so I switch to Chrome for those. I've stuck with Firefox on both mobile and desktop/laptop in the past years out of habit/loyalty, but it's not the #1 browser it was ten years ago.

I use Chrome as my default, but most people I know or my local libraries or Internet cafes use Firefox and it mostly displays and works everything just fine on all my sites. But yeah some of them run slower. But wait, Firefox is also on Mobile??

I've been using Tapatalk but its been crashing a lot lately, and I've never really been that impressed by it. I find that going through a browser doesn't seem to have the functionality of, well, what I expect from an app. They don't seem to re-size well hence the looking for an alternative, but there doesn't seem to be much other than tapatalk.

Actually now that I'm thinking about it, Android does have an official pro boards app but I think you have to pay like 1.99 for it. Maybe. When I get home, I'm gonna search into some more, but I have limited access here at work. But yeah I can understand not wanting Tapatalk due to the crashing. I can't stand when an app or program crashes. Also I don't like the resizing on something either. I never had the chance to use the proboards app, so I can't tell you how it works and I don't want to suggest it because it's not free and if I ain't good, I don't want you wasting your money. So I'll look into other options
