Origins of timed out?
I am wondering how the phrase "timed out" was chosen to indicate those who have been naughty. Time outs make me think of misbehaving children....which indeed we can be. But it's kind of belittling as well. I'm wondering if there is a more age appropriate phrase like.....on sabbatical, reviewing options, exploring new opportunities, forced vacation, thinking it over, suspended, barred, banished, inactive, exiled, paused, blocked, sequestered, defrocked, disqualified, quashed, sidelined, locked out, vetoed, busted, lockdown, inoperative, idled, frozen etc. Hm, think I might have just answered my own question.

The only option that was available when I set up the site was "Banned" and since we don't really ban folks (unless egregious), I chose "timed out". No real reason other than it was familiar phrasing carried over from another site. I'm liking the idea of "access suspended".

I know I don't do this often, but on occasion I do post pics in the gallery
And now on to my question, lol Is the gallery broke or is it just me tonight I uploaded pics twice that said the upload was successful, but I don't see them in with my other pics?

I have a question. Is there anyway to make a married subscription that married couples can pay for that won't cost as much as a Sentinel if both wish to have the Supporter 2 level. Thanks in advance for the answer.

You know how I'm not computer smart, lol How the heck do I make them smaller? I mean must I do something here or do I have to change something on my computer? All I did was snap a pic, take them off my camera and put them on my computer, just like all the others I have in my gallery. Tonight I am totally lost in computerland
