Random Chit-Chat: Noise, Noise, Noise..

This will explain the day better than I can. There are other things going on, not just a silence. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remembrance_Day

So basically its Memorial Day for the British armies, according to that article.

Yeah, except it is not a holiday here.

Never understood the holiday concept, why focus one or two days of the year on the veterans instead of showing them respect on a daily basis? They do more for their countries than we probably ever could as a regular citizen.

We do also have an Armed Forces Day around the end of June, which is also not a holiday as such but a day for army veterans to do stuff too.

Wasn't aware of Remembrance Day, but I guess that's because I don't live in the UK. Thanks Terry!

I totally get where your going with that Greg. Vets don't often get the respect they deserve, I try to thank vets every time I come across one.

Not just thanking, but during Memorial Day and I'm sure Remembrance Day keeping those who die for our freedoms in our hearts and forever remembering their sacrifice. Thank you for thanking veterans, Lance.. I was proud to serve in the military and would do it all again.

If you guys haven't noticed, we now got a blog section. Lance set up the guidelines for it and blogs are allowed to have comments by just hitting the reply button as you would anywhere else here.

Thank you Tia dear for your services.

Thanks Tia for serving our country!

Thanks much for your service in the military, Tia. Grateful for that.

Blogs? That's an outlet of creative writing/diary, right? I don't know a lot about online resources still, sorry.

Very welcome you guys, I'm glad I had a chance to do it. Aye Jessie, that's essentially what a blog is!

I'd like to use this blog system to replace the old one we were using, I feel that its more than suffice. Anybody else agree with me?

So I thought the forum was down for the last two weeks or so because the link in my favorites kept returning an error, only for it to turn out that the URL changed and no one told me. Lovely work, guys.

Well gee, I forgot my changing of residence was less important than keeping the site updated. 'Scuse me..

Tbh, I didn't even realise you was gone. I'm sure I've seen you post a few days ago long after the URL changed.

Gheeze, I'm like only good at making accidentally mean-spirited posts... >.<

Yeah, the address changed weeks ago. As long as you had the forum saved in favs, you shouldn't of had a problem getting to it.

Browser-based bookmarks don't automatically update URLs...

The address for the forum didn't change between the last time you posted here and today. Unless you accessed the forum directly from the site, it was never down in the past two weeks.
