Now somebody made me an admin on the page, which I appreciate, but I'm not the kind of person who craves power, but whatever.

But this morning the request came from a Facebook account that was just created yesterday.  The name was ostensibly written in Arabic and the icon was  a green fist rising out of a map of the Middle East.

I hit "ignore".  I'm a little  worried that if I hit "block" I'd be targeted for... something.

I see requests and I usually ignore them.  I figure everyone we know has joined and anyone new is either spam or someone who knows someone else, so I leave it up to someone else who knows more people.

If someone from the established gang wants to get a friend of his in there, it seems reasonable to mention it to the group admins with something like, "Hey, my friend so and so has heard about this place from me, and would like to join up" or tell that friend "tell them I recommended the place to ya."

Yeah well I'm not interested in having someone with a political axe to grind joining the group just to promote a "message".  In this case I was concerned this might have been an ISIS-type account and I hit ignore.

I'd probably check the guy's profiles and groups and maybe send a message.

Well that's the thing.  The account is brand new and only a member of one other group.  Sure looks like it isn't a legit thing.  I expect it's someone who wants to spread a political or a hate message.

If the guy's got no posting history of any note, it's likely a spam bot sending out ads. Either way, my opinion is that if it's not someone we know, we don't need an excuse to decline them. I see the haunts as friendly ghost only territory.

I always check the profiles to see what's up, if they are active members of other groups, etc. Still, I don't decline them. I've let them sit there and as of now I haven't received any messages asking to join. I am assuming they are bogus accounts.

In fact, you have three requests to join TRV haunt parked right now.  They have neither been approved, blocked, or ignored.

Kind of a pain in the arse, but nice weather like today makes it easier to put up... on the other hand, a bright sunny day seems to encourage the roaring engine asshats.

Beretta had a jacket I have been eyeing for a couple of years 50% off. I took the plunge and it got here yesterday. So I'm sure warm weather is on the way, so I can't wear it till next year. I'd be fine with that.

You killed bambi. Also in "A Tale of Two Gonzos: The Gonzo Story" The part of you would be played by Nick Fury era David Hasselhoff.

We went from warm to cold again. You can keep the snow

Yea, no snow, thanks.  While I don't mind it being cold in the winter, I hate when it's 86 one day, 65 the next day, and 45 the day after that.

that's typical weather here.

I'm sure the fact that you have Supergirl as your icon is just coicindental to the fact that I always read Ky as meaning Krypton. It makes my day just that little bit better.

Silly kegs, Kr is the symbol for Krypton on the periodic table.  Oh, wait, no.  You don't mean science stuff.  I'll just go back to my nerd cave.
