Hey Guys, ever since the DOS topic was closed this forum has seems to be lacking that certain something. A place where there is no topic. A place where the members can just say HI.
Over on the Classic Toy Trains forum, one of the members brought an idea from a fishing forum that he belongs to, where there is a daily “check in” topic that the members can use.
So, the idea of this topic is to provide that kind of space for this forum. It will help people get to know each other better, and keep some of the topic clutter off the forum.
This topic will always stay on the front page if you use it properly, so ENJOY!!![:)]
Not bad, that didn’t take long for someone to discover this. Thanks!! Now let’s see if everyone else can find this and put it to good use.[swg]
Good morning Fthunder11 !!!
Just remember this isn’t quite the same as real chatting, but it can get the job done. Check out the link above to see how the CTT guys use it, and HAVE FUN!!!
Hey y’all (southern for good morn’in) Is this “coffee shop” thing something we have to vote on or am I the first to use it. Seems like a good idea Big_Boy. I’ve just returned from the hospital for major surgery performed by the staff of the 4077th MASH unit so I’ve been out of the loop for the past week. I dont know whats worse, the pain or the pain killer pills I have to take. Seems like someone has changed the keys around on my keyboard and Bubba (>^…^<) thinks my mouse is the real deal. OK, now I’ve always said to the new people that there are no dumb qwestions, but I have one. What is the DOS topic that was closed, or what does DOS stand fore? BTW it is good to be back among friends here again and so far everything has been going fine, all my pluming is now all hooked back up and functioning like an old steam engine beltching smoke and fire. [(-D][(-D][(-D]
DOS topic was Discontinuance Of Stars but was made Denial Of Service by the administrator [xx(] but I got my fourth star anyway!
if you roundup the topics by number of replys you’ll find it !
No voting required Eriediamond, you seem to be right on with your post. Simply sharing your thoughts for the day is the general idea. I expect this to really catch on here, and maybe it will catch and pass the NES thread, but have more meaning, and posts with more than 3 words.[swg]
I knew you would turn up here Lupo. Congrats on your 4th star.[bday] This is the new home for this kind of stuff, instead of taking new topics.[;)]
Oh, and don’t forget to post photos if you got em.[swg]
Please don’t get down on Bergie for closing DOS. That was sort of the wrong place for this kind of stuff, as it started as a serious topic. This is what we really want and need, and there is no reason to close it, since I really don’t expect anyone to abuse it, like was happening on DOS.
You mean the pot will become [STICKY] ?
will we still be able to drink coffee from it?
BTW: I did not mean to come down on our forum administrators they do good work !
I Can use the fact that english is not “my native tongue” to excuse bad spelling and grammar and I might come across rude when I do not want to be.
Keep in mind guys, I didn’t come up with the concept here, a guy by the name of ChiefEagles brought the concept to CTT. I just picked it up and brought it here.[;)]
It will behave like it was sticky if we all just keep using it… SEE? [swg]
We could ask Bergie to make it sticky, but I don’t think we’ll have to.
By the way, Big Girl bought a coffee pot a few weeks ago, it’s sitting on the counter. She didn’t empty it out, and now there is stuff growing in it. YUCK.[xx(][:P][(-D][(-D][(-D]
Personally I don’t drink coffee, I get my caffine from cola, but I like the smell and the flavor, just not the drink itself. Go figure.[swg]
A Frisco fan and far too many other fallen flags to list them all. Too many mergers have left us with too few good railroads. [:(] [:(!] [V] [:(]
Congrats Lupo and the 4th Star [:)] [:)] [:)] [:)]
I also want to invite everyone to download msn messenger and join the forum chat family. We talk about modeling, railfanning, taking train pics, tell jokes, laugh at each other, and just generally have a good time. We have modelers, railfans, and even some railroaders as our chat family grows. We have many from the USA, a bunch of Canadians [:)] , Lupo sometimes drops in on us and we even have a French guy now. [:D] [8D] [:p] [:)] [;)] . So downlown msn messenger and join our chat family. The download is free and easy.
I just noticed they have changed the download page. If you have any questions, please email me. I hope to see you all in chat real soon. [:D]
I work on airplanes, have also worked in retail management ,restaurant management, and have worked at a major theme part and just don’t seem to know any strangers. So don’t be bashful, email me if you want. [:p] [:)] [8D] [;)]
Thanks all, I really missed y’all while at sickbay. Lupo, The pot shouldn’t become sticky if it is maintained correctly. You never (NEVER) wash a good coffee pot, just rinse it with cold water, and when you brew a new batch you throw a little salt on top of the grounds and add an eggshell to it and let her brew. (old Navy trick) [(-D][(-D] I really like this idea here, so thanks Big_Boy for bringing this to us. No topic to adhere to, just let her rip with whats on your mind. OH-OH, Bubba (>^…^<) just stopped by to see whats goin on and he got that cat demon look in his eyes!! [(-D][(-D][(-D]
Somehow I don’t think Mookie would want to be the waitress. She would probally like a cup of coffee or tea though. I do hope we have some nice railroad books and photo albums of trains on the “coffee tables”. I think we all like to look at pics of trains. [;)]
Hey, does the coffee shop serve, Southern Fried Chicken and Fried Catfish, I have really been craving some Fried Catfish here lately. [;)]
Jim, the thing about Mookie is, I find much of what she says to be simple chat with a few trains thrown into the mix. I know she likes trains, but not everyone can be an expert. I know that I’m not an expert when it comes to the real thing, but I can hold my own here on the modeling side. Actually I think she might get a kick out of it if I set one of these up and called it Mookie’s Coffee House.
As for the menu, I think you’ll find VIRTUAL FOOD rather dry, but at least the conversation is good.[swg]
Well I’m back onboard, on my new bateau (french for big boat) and I have broadband internet (for now) so it’ nice we have place to "get a hair cut and have a cup-a-java. Hopefully we can keep it respectful and friendly and the sand box bullies at bay and pass that magic number of 938.
Intersting to note that the Senior Engineer onboard builds steam engines on the side and is building a replica of a Royal Hudson, not in HO scale but 1/8th scale. His pictures are awesome!
