Annoyed at thread drift

[Rustyt1953]

Vonn, I'm OK. Thanks for asking, but I am walking away from this thread. It has become an homage to photographic still life and page number correlations.

At times, I have to wade through an entire page of pics of the same damned thing to actually find anything witty.

There is little interaction anymore or much original thought, just "cut & paste". I am guilty of this as well.

I'm going to re-engage with the other threads.

I wish you all well. I had fun.

I'm kinda there too.
The still photos could be interesting if info about them was
included, who, what, where & when.

Morning has arrived and I have survived. Going to be a wet winter day here today but the weather girl is saying mid 70 next couple of days,that will be nice!

 

[BigCityChief]

^Good for you, vonn!^ I's 7° F in my neck of the woods this morning.

As my Ole Grand Pappy used to say. "I just woke up and I'm dirt side up"!

I hope y'all have Have A Great Day!!

 

[loknload]

Good morning everyone! Hey it's a balmy 21 degrees here! Suppose to be one more day of this!
Hey sorry to here about the disgruntlement about the pics, I guess I'm guilty of it,,, Sorry about that? Got to see some pretty neat stuff though!
Guess we need to get back to basics?

I still like Coconut Maccaroons but not with Brocoli!

Yeah, I've been expanding my horizons a bit. I'll still stop by the drift occasionally to see what's up.

 

[snubbyfan]

Today, I'm gonna be busy getting pictures of bunches of documents and sending them out to insurance companies.
I'm just hoping that someday soon this whole ordeal'll be over and me and Mrs. Snubby can get on with our lives.

Thank all of you for giving this thread a two hour rest.

This penguin dispenses hand lotion.

Given the way they feed their young, I don''t want to think too much about that.

shouldazagged,,,,Given the way they feed their young, I don''t want to think too much about that.

And what's that suppose to mean buster? I resemble that remark!

 

[shouldazagged]

I think I may back away for a while too.

I'm too curious not to look in from time to time and lob an occasional toad into the punch bowl, but I have lots of other things I can be doing.

Have fun, folks.

This is exactly why I stopped contributing to or monitoring this thread a long long time ago. If I wanted to look at still life pictures all day, I would go to a museum. In a lot of ways you guys have killed this thread buy filling it everyday with inane cut and paste garbage of no useful substance. Good luck and goodbye.

I wonder if anyone noticed? Don't forget to watch out for the screen door...

Call me stubborn, but I'm not ready to give up! Just because a few people have decided to not post or to post a lot less isn't a reason to kill it. Maybe it's time to circle the wagons or whatever...I've enjoyed this thread too much to let it go into that good night. Yes, there have been low points, notably the posting of endless pictures without any kind of caption or reason, I've never enjoyed that. I would be interested in knowing how many people think the thread should continue, or if it should be allowed to end. I know that there is at least one person that would be happy if that happened, & it would be worth it to me to continue just so he can't gloat over the demise of this thread. But, I ramble...like I said: a vote of confidence would be nice.

 

[pawngal]

I'm all for the thread to continue. It's a place to come to post our troubles and our humor without derailing other threads. Other forums or boards would call it a "chat thread"

BTW, I still don't like bacon.......

Thank you for weighing in, and you can stay away from bacon all you want.

Well... I was thinking about brewing some tea... Then I could not decide which one I like the best.

Then I thought tea is for after walking, and I've already done my walking today. In fact I'm retiring a pair of shoes and have another pair of the same ready to take their place. I put the old pair in use on October 8, 2015 and may wear them one more time so I can say I got three months out of them.

Thanks for the beer offer, but I poured one before I got your message.

It's Beer Time!

Today I'm having a Saint Arnold Christmas Ale. Twelve packs of this wonderful strong ale can still be found on sale for $14, but I found some singles in the Bargain Bin for 99 cents each.

Thinking back a few years, it was this beer, Saint Arnold Christmas Ale, that got me to shift my beer drinking from mass quantities of non-offensive beers, to savoring truly good beers and appreciating the various styles of beer.

Cheers!

I like 'good' bacon and there is a lot of iffy bacon out there these days.

I've had a super busy day today - going strong since 3:30 am EasternTime, coming up for air about 15 minutes ago. I'd just like to make a general comment on the thread and some recent posts. Like every human endeavor in which I've ever participated, this thread has its ebbs and flows, strong and weak moments, and a cast of characters reflective, I think, of the society at large. I will tell anyone interested in listening that I have genuinely enjoyed the serious, the inane, the joyful and not so joyful posts, the captionless
photos, the inside jokes, the musings of colorful characters - all because they are so genuinely human and not full of self righteous self importance or aggrandizement. In a word, I've had a lot of fun, and hopefully I did so at the expense of no one. As for me, I'll be happy to visit this thread and provide input, as appropriate, every day I'm available to do so. The only threads I've ever opted out of on any forum are those where vitriol becomes the norm. It's unfortunate that there seem to be so many of them on the five forum communities to which I belong. I'm pleased to say that I've "met" some very decent folks on this thread and in the greater forum and for that, I'm grateful. Cheers!

My prior posts answer for me though I must say no more page turners! If it's related and funny and the picture fits!

PG,,,,BTW, I still don't like bacon.......

Realllly?

BCC, You said it all, couldn't agree more and couldn't have said it better!
