Thanks for the list. I suspect I'll be returning to it from time to time. Somebody went to a lot of work to put it together, I imagine.But until then, here is the list on that thread:
As for the lounge, I'll check what/where that is later. Doing a search for 'lounge' got me more matches than I can look at for now.

Eeek! I can't take credit for the list! All I did was copy and pasted it on this thread from the link that BayHaySay provided. I c & ped it because the person was not able to see the GottaLounge at that time. The real credit belongs to the person who compiled the list originally and that is FireBabe: http://forums.gottad...ber.php?u=14701
Thanks to FireBabe for originally compiling the list--and thanks again to noehlp for reposting it for those of us who didn't see it the 1st time.
