Oldiesmann: Finally got the AmazonBot situation under control. I basically changed some server settings to tell AmazonBot that it's not allowed to access anything on the site. That should fix the speed issues we've been experiencing lately

#10...Come Fly With Me??????

Joy

Thank you, Chia and Radioman.   I think it is so important to keep your mind active, and when the suggestion came up that maybe some Trivia activities would be of interest to some of our residents.

I will be sure to make sure the activity direction will know where I am getting these quizzes.

Thanks so much, again.

Thanks for your quiz Radioman... :thumbup:

Joy

I  had just gotten into the middle of the last quiz, and  I didn't recognize any of the music verses. 

And, now that I see all the answers,  that was really a hard one.  I will have to be "more on the ball" for the next one,

Marilyne

Joy - I'm going to suggest to Jeanne Lee, that we combine the Trivia and Music quizzes into one. If that happens, I'll send you a PM to let you know.

Joy

Sounds good !  I will be watching for it.

Thanks !
