Pre veteran thread (2011)

[Katya]

Have you ever been at a gathering of people... a crowd... and had the feeling that "I just have to get out of the room for a bit and get some air"... because even though you don't mind any of the individuals, and would welcome talking with them in a small gathering, that all at once there's just too many and you need a breather?

Its like that with posts too. Volume. Its not any one person, but collectively the volume is just drowning out the purpose of the thread. We need to keep it on topic.

I was saddened today to hear of Whiskey's step-mom's passing. But it was real hard for me to find the post where she talked about it. Took me like 5 minutes with all the other posts going on, but I finally back-read enough to find it. Needle in a haystack.

So I agree with the others that some social posting is normal, but the volume of miscellaneous stuff needs to be minimal.

That's how I feel about it, too, Atty. This thread should remain friendly and chatty and personal, but hundreds of pictures are just counterproductive--it takes away from that personal touch we've always had here.

I feel like you all are my family; maybe somewhat dysfunctional at times , but family nonetheless.

And with that, I bid you good night.

At least for now.

Man, I just posted in another thread about my current (SJ) avi; now I gotta wait for at least a little while before I change

Go ahead and change--a little confusion is always a good thing.

 

[Katya]

So what did Jag do wrong?

Nothing.

 

[TomCatt]

Not 'no pics'; just minimal pics around the Turnees theme - vaping Santas for SJ; wolves for River, etc. and preferably when Turnee is present.

 

[Katya]

Hey Kat

If were all family and all that,,,, Is it OK to want to oogle 2nd cousins?

 

[TomCatt]

Night Kat (oh so you're calling me dysfunctional? Dang, somebody finally got it right!! )

How's this?

Picture posting related to the current celebration is fine but please keep it to a minimum until the guest of honor is present.
As for our own entertainment, a pic here and there and video clips- depending what's going on atm - is great.
For those who want to post multiple pictures (especially if they are not related to the celebration), do so here.

Guess I'm on top of the dysfunctional list... still haven't heard from Nat. Hope its better in the light of a new day.....

Good night everyone. Good night, Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are!
