Welcome to the site where the owners and members have had it with playing "nice" and being "inclusive" and "tolerant" of points of view that are destroying the fabric of what made this country great. The members here are sick and tired of politicians of all parties lying, deceiving, stealing, and pretending they are doing it all for the good of the country while selling out to special interests who have the set goal of destroying this country. We have had enough of career politicians who use their office only for personal gain, and who refuse to listen to the people who put them in office. The membership is no longer part of the silent majority who play nice and get along while getting screwed by anyone with a loud voice and an agenda. We will no longer allow anyone to piss down our back and tell us it's raining. And we like guns too.

Free is better...I'll have Mrs. R-a-R look into it.

Compared to me, she's a tech genius.

I use it for text messages abroad. As you mention, it’s free, and apparently more secure than a lot of other options. Haven’t tried using it as a phone app though.

oh please. I don't think is going to worry about that, not only he is a minister from down under but a friend of mine, just wish I could have time to share more than a cup of coffee we did a few years ago.

My wife and daughter have used it on our trips too, never had a problem.

I understand the internet is also tied to sex perverts and you are using it....maybe you shouldn't.

Cheers Fred,

It would have been good to get more time back then but hopefully there may be another opportunity in the future. I did my best to catch up with Rew on that trip but unfortunately timing didnt work out.
