Where are you, members?

Where are you, members? · by stuart torr Fri Oct 31, 2014 2:43 pm

Hi Members.
Just one question to you all, have I done something wrong or upset you?
As I seem to be taking over the forum with my answers/posts, and not getting any replies.
I am not that much of a meglomaniac that likes to see my name everywhere, Laughing

Also I do not think my answers have bought each thread to a halt do you?
So come on out of hibernation and start posting folks to liven the forum up some.

Hmm, not sure if this thread makes sense! scratch

If members aren't here, are they likely to see this and respond??

Re: Where are you, members? · by stuart torr Fri Oct 31, 2014 4:41 pm

Cancel it then Ivan, what the hell.

Re: Where are you, members? · by **moonbeam** Fri Oct 31, 2014 4:45 pm

We're here, Stuart. Or, at least I am! I can't really contribute to political discussion because I'm not a fan. Same with religion. Beyond that, life just seems to be busy lately, especially now that my son is in middle school. More homework to keep on top of!

Re: Where are you, members? · by stuart torr Fri Oct 31, 2014 5:07 pm

Sorry moonbeam, I did not want it to seem like I was badgering members, it just felt like I was taking the forum over Laughing

As I had answered all the posts that came up with no reply a lot of the time, you make sure you look after your sons homework as that is more important. scratch

Hi, Stuart - I think the forum does go through quiet times
I have been quite glad about your efforts to stimulate discussion at a time when the rest of us seem to have less to say.

I expect things will get a bit noisier by and by sunny

- meanwhile, your chatty self is a tonic to me anyway

Re: Where are you, members? · by stuart torr Fri Oct 31, 2014 6:12 pm

Thanks boatlady, me I can talk the hind legs off a poor donkey Laughing

But sometimes love I feel like the other members may think that i'm trying to take over by posting so much everywhere.

Re: Where are you, members? · by boatlady Fri Oct 31, 2014 9:08 pm

No --- don't think so

Re: Where are you, members? · by stuart torr Fri Oct 31, 2014 9:22 pm

Phew glad about that boatlady, as that was the last thing I wanted.

Re: Where are you, members? · by oftenwrong Fri Oct 31, 2014 10:45 pm

You're probably the one person well suited to be the forum's archivist, Stu.

Re: Where are you, members? · by stuart torr Sat Nov 01, 2014 9:47 am

Am I really OW?

Re: Where are you, members? · by stuart torr Sat Nov 01, 2014 1:14 pm

Can I ask you OW, why you think that, when you have been here longer and would surely know more about the forum than myself.

I didn't know what to write about after being absent due to alien abduction, so here's a recipe for pancakes instead:

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 1/4 cups milk
1 egg
3 tablespoons butter, melted

1. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk, egg and melted butter; mix until smooth.

2. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.

Re: Where are you, members? · by stuart torr Sat Nov 01, 2014 5:32 pm

Alien pancakes one presumes? any particular planet Patient?

Thinking-do be Patient, your recipe lacked one thing i'm afraid, the topping? usually fresh oranges or lemons cut in half and squeeze the juice over pancake. Laughing

Re: Where are you, members? · by stuart torr Sat Nov 01, 2014 9:17 pm

Did you get my message Thinking---do be patient?

Re: Where are you, members? · by Thinking...do be patient Sat Nov 01, 2014 9:50 pm

Thanks Stuart I got the message.

I never get to make the topping on my pancakes. bit of a useless tosser.

Re: Where are you, members? · by stuart torr Sat Nov 01, 2014 10:09 pm

The private one as I cannot just tap on your name site or whatever reply site.

Re: Where are you, members? · by Thinking...do be patient Sat Nov 01, 2014 10:54 pm

Yes the 'private one'.
I've just burned my pancakes after all this excitement and secrecy.
They are all black and thin and I think I can hear Bono singing a song about them.

Re: Where are you, members? · by stuart torr Sat Nov 01, 2014 11:02 pm

Never cook and watch t.v or use the computer or it always gets burnt.

Re: Where are you, members? · by boatlady Sat Nov 01, 2014 11:03 pm

Hullo, thinking - hope the aliens treated you well.
Try another batch of pancakes - I'm sure they'll turn out better

Re: Where are you, members? · by stuart torr Sat Nov 01, 2014 11:15 pm

Think he should use a spatula to toss them boatlady?

Re: Where are you, members? · by boatlady Sun Nov 02, 2014 12:53 pm

Often a good plan- if you don't want to decorate your kitchen ceiling with a tasteful pattern of half-cooked pancakes

Very Happy

Re: Where are you, members? · by stuart torr Sun Nov 02, 2014 2:44 pm

Well that is how I turn mine boatlady, Laughing

Re: Where are you, members? · by stuart torr Wed Nov 05, 2014 5:54 pm

boatlady love, is there any reason why we have not heard from Tosh for quite some time now? as I was going to drop him a message love.

Re: Where are you, members? · by boatlady Wed Nov 05, 2014 10:26 pm

Don't know what happened to Tosh - haven't heard from him recently

Re: Where are you, members? · by oftenwrong Wed Nov 05, 2014 10:57 pm

The heading to this topic reminds me of the regular exhortations of one Parish Priest who regularly lashes his congregation about the dwindling number of parishioners attending Church services.

His message is received only by the blameless, not his intended audience who obviously weren't there to hear it.

Re: Where are you, members? · by stuart torr Thu Nov 06, 2014 1:31 am

AHAHAH nice one OW obviously he is not or one would not be asking about him would one, Laughing

Where Are You? · by Beth fph Thu Mar 26, 2015 2:41 am

Hazarding a guest this means where am I? in real time, it's totally sensible.

I'm in the United States, the Greater Ohio River Valley, next to the city of Cincinnati. Smile

Are any others of you in the U.S. ... besides Moonbeam of course. Hello Denver. Hi Moon.

Re: Where are you, members? · by boatlady Thu Mar 26, 2015 10:31 am

Hi, Beth

I believe James Thurber came from your neck of the woods - and that's all I know about that - geography was never one of my talents.

Not sure how many Americans we have at present - there used to be a bit of traffic on the American politics threads but that seems to have died down. Maybe your contributions will liven things up.

Speaking for myself, I live in a seaside town in Norfolk, England, and spend a lot of the time in the summers cruising on the Norfolk Broads - hence the avatar - but that's not my boat - mine is MUCH smaller

Re: Where are you, members? · by **moonbeam** Thu Mar 26, 2015 10:39 am

Hi Beth! It's considering being spring here in Denver. It's nice more often, but it did snow some yesterday. I'm ready for that warmer weather!

Sounds like a lovely place to live.

U.S. Politics is just getting on track for the '16 elections. Yours are coming sooner, so that's where the current interest surely must lie. My view is rather mixed because so many of my U.K. peeps are conservative ... mostly because of disputes about immigration and the EU. But, since I'm an American centrist who leans left, I try to get an idea of both sides.

I'll probably do more reading than writing but promise to comment when I have something to say.

To the pancake people .. I like a little lemon syrup on mine.

Hi Moon

Someone told me yesterday if I'd stop running in circles trying to find spring, it would find me. Smile

That will probably come in the form of Easter. Very early this year but it should get us off to a start.

I should probably mention our current claim to fame is the #1 U of KY Wildcats (basketball) ... just down the road and my alma mater. They just broke into the Elite Eight (NCAA Tournament) and we hope, in a few days, they'll be our national champs. There are 7 other teams hoping for the same thing so this will be quite a sport week for us.

More next time.

X Beth

To loosely follow Beth fph's example, I am on the top floor of a 3 storey house 200 yards away from a 650' cliff on the edge of the North York Moors - or, in other words, I'm HERE! Smile
