You hear all kinds of stories and some of them are certainly untrue.

But most of it is true, and my best advice to you is to not enter San Francisco with an empty gas tank.

I doubt I will ever bother to go again in my lifetime.

Same here mate. Freezing w frost again this week after being warm in the high 70’s last week. Super wet and rainy as well.

Hey what happened to the cool betta in S skjl47 avatar? It had the same colors of the Aussie flag
Are we banning the display of national colors now? Even though there’s a flag section in the emoji list and more than 60 nations flags display the colors have red white and blue. I mean seriously? SMH
Are displays of national pride not allowed on MFK either?

Thanks RD. I reached out to S skjl47 and he told me he had changed his avatar himself.
So, it seems I jumped the proverbial gun there. Apologies to everyone my comment may have triggered from the pre-me era on MFK. I’m a dufus How embarrassment

Hello; To clear things up I took the betta avatar off myself a few hours ago. I was signed off for a few hours and now is the first time i saw your post. Back a few years ago when the rules were changed so that we could only have avatars of fish I picked a colorful male betta. A choice which should have been well within the rules and i still do believe was clearly within the rules. A site member made a crude and insulting post about my avatar's colors. Within a few hours a Mod took my betta avatar off himself.

Not too long after my betta avatar was removed by a mod along with a few select others the rules were relaxed. Folks went back to non-fish avatars again. I
