All the 501, 502, and other interruptions.
This place is run by one guy, typing fast as he can.
Updating the system.
Have some patients.
It will settle down.

You would NOT believe the heroic effort it took to keep this site up today.

Ya know that feeling when you throw a party, expecting just a few friends...... and some how the word gets out you have live music, and the whole city shows up !

Folks. Please be yourself here. A lot of you are new kids on the block and we sure do understand the hesitation and questions about etiquette and sharing and boosting and all the technical stuff.

Just relax, push buttons, click posts, engage, laugh and enjoy this great place. If on the off chance you do something “wrong” who cares? If it’s necessary, one of us will speak up to help or correct or give you a heads up.

I just feel some tension here and want to say…breathe and have fun. K? 💜

@Meef another reason for them to keep taking our pictures I think

“The exhibit, which is situated on the fifth level of the AGO, brings you into the world of home videos and family photography. There is a pop-art theme to the place, with walls painted in fluorescent colours and comic-like drawings surrounding some of the art.”

New folks.
(this is just my opinion)

When you move to a foreign country, that has a different culture, different habits, you try to blend in. You might try on a different language. Or try new foods.

But what you don't do is assume that the natives will accept your culture, and habits, and embrace your lifestyle.

CoSo has a culture. We have been living here for 5 years.
Please understand, I mean no disrespect, but if you expect your bird site behavior to fly here, you will just be ignored.

Yes sir, she has “really filled out.” Some of us turn to bones during times of stress.

If I hear one more person say, "Kids these days..." my head might explode.

People should be saying, "adults these days." Kids' behavior is a reflection of adults.
