Yeah, I think so. We're all either deceased or on FinHeaven. RIP to
anyone no longer with us.

I'll stay subscribed on the off hand chance anyone pipes up about anything )

We're going to WHOOP ASS this year!

Go Dolphins )

I've tried tons of the other Dolphin fan sites and FinHeaven beats them
all by far, with some solid coaches chipping in and special guests like
Richmond Webb from time to time.

I especially like the ignore feature to do away with the few trolls that
reside there.

Our beloved newsgroup was my favorite until FH came along.

Lol, I suppose someone or other may have lost their brain and become a
Jets fan!

How's Hollywood Beach and the Broadwalk? My son and I loved that area
last year.

A Jets fan? Wow... throwing around insults like that... no wonder this place is so damn empty!

It's still pretty nice. Just too many MAGA hat wearing tourists from Alabama! ; p

How are you doing at the nuke plant... still glowing while working the night shift?

I retired and don't miss it one damn bit!

I have no such hat, and anyone I know that has one lives in FLA, ha-ha!

I'm also now an Oupa with a fresh little Granddaughter, who will be a
Dolphins fan if I have any say so 8)

I knew the Jets comment would get SOMEONE out of the woodwork ;)

Islamorada trip next month, woohoo!

My hat says: Lock Him Up! ; - )

Congrats!!!

I still haven't forgiven Jason Taylor for that betrayal. Although, his becoming a Canes coach has softened my hostilities towards him... somewhat.

> Islamorada trip next month, woohoo!

Rum Runners at Holiday Isle Tiki Bar used to be a favorite of mine when I lived down there. And it's still some of the best fishing on the planet. Have fun!

I'm excited to see what Wes Welker can do with Berrios... a perfect coach & player combo, IMHO. Same with Sam Madison w/his guys.
Hill, Waddle and Berrios vs Howard, Ramsey and Smith... that's steel vs steel in practice everyday! I haven't looked forward to a season as much as this IN YEARS!

OK, OK, OK...
I did it.
Created account on FinHeaven.

I'm still Valravn there, I'm guessing Stoobz is Stoobz. Can't find Lunis or Stu Gotts (unless it is STUGATS over there)

Breaker, breaker, what's your handle?

It's the best - LOTS of great info, rabid fans and other stuff besides
football. Music, girls, tall stories.

Participation over there is pretty good. Lots of content. Gotta say, I HATE web interfaces in general. Tons of whitespace, lots of scrolling and page flipping interspersed with a bunch of redundant graphics.
Just not an efficient interface.

I may need to investigate alternative browsing interface that can condense 20 pages of 15 posts each just in order to read maybe one page of actual text.

I took a look at FinHeaven... I even registered... but that site's one of the most ridiculously drowned with ads that I've seen in YEARS! Moderator seems cool, but jeez... give me a break. Not sure I can deal with that absurd level of bullshit.

Will give it another try in a day or two. Thanks for the heads-up.

No worries. I've always used ad blockers so I never see any ads, lol. Or
on your phone, perhaps Brave browser would work.

Just verified on my phone with the Brave browser, there are no ads.
Using Chrome however, there are a ridiculous amount, lol.

Past performance is no guarantee of future success. Your mileage may vary.

I don't use my phone for ANYTHING other than calls, texting... and an occasional photo. I'm not confident that phones provide enough security.
But I will try some different browsers other than Chrome.

I joined Finheaven years ago but never used it. I signed up as Limozine and it won't allow me to change it, so I guess that's who I'll be over there. It's sad - I've been following this group and occasionally posting for over 26 years.

We can still post here of course! So long as I'm able, I'll have this as
my one and only newsgroup. Perhaps an old troll will stop by from time
to time!

Trust me, they don't.

Blackberry was the best of the bunch for civilians but they've gone by
the wayside, more or less.

Even your car will rat on you. Always good to keep an old one and a few
hundreds laying around, ha-ha.

A few hundreds laying around? Nah, smaller bills in case they can't make change.

Hell Stoobz... I also keep considerably more than that in an account in a country with no extradition treaty with the US! ;-)

Wish I was rich!

I'm sure my darling bride has made those bills smaller. She is in need
of new shoes and a purse from time to time!
