Apologies if this has been brought up before, but I didn’t see it mentioned.

The forums don’t always seem to be updating when new posts are made. I’ve noticed it most recently in the forum index for Cafe Society. One thread, for example:

_Any fans of the movie The Deep?_ is showing only 3 posts (most recently by **Southern Yankee** , although there have been 3 more since (going on about 45 minutes now…)

Anyway, just thought I’d mention it.

Well, crack that whip, woman! Hell, I’ll even chip in for Jerry’s bribe… lessee… I got a pot of homemade salsa, a new pack of tennis balls, and a sealed bag of Community coffee.

I think we can get this thing done.

You have to bribe **Tuba** first. She likes chocolate.

Well, that may have been understatement of the century. 😛

I can contribute a Betty Crocker Warm Delights Hot Fudge Brownie (microwavable) to the cause.

Barter? You’d have to whip me in a fistfight to get my Community!

The only “local” place that carries it, to the best of my knowledge, is two hours away…
