Killer Thread

[Guest Alexei]

Oh, i do that too sometimes Xp i know it's -really- bad when i kill my own thread...my very first thread(my intro) is sort of standing in a 3 foot hole and continuing to dig, i'm afraid...i felt sorta bad 'cause i knew i was taking a risk bringing up chatrooms, which were a bit off-topic, and then kaput.

I'll try my hand at is thesis writing opal metioned... Obviously no thread can be infinite in length, and a thread's growth is presumably linear, if a bit unpredictable. There's probably a small probability of a thread's popularity going exponential based upon the poster's reputation and how close the post is to widely celebrated holidays, when most non-lurkers are celebrating wih their friends and family. If there is a major disaster people might log on to news sites for information and log on to check forums after they've gleaned the juice, or if there is an event such as a large snowstorm that leaves multiple people in various locations stranded at home, they may spend large amounts of time online to allieviate boredom. State of the community, be it the world, nation, or state, could also play in. For instance, if the mood of the world is grim because of a recent war, universal thread activity over the cybersphere may be depressed. Content may or may not be relevant depending on the environment and factors such as the squee factor or heartstring resonance. If one has a decent understanding of these factors as they play on a specific thread one can presumably peg the thread's expiration date and, if given enough data on particular users log on and what content they are most likely to notice and/or comment on, they may be able to predict the last post and poster.

There's my two cents on the matter ^^

Its a commonly known fact that we all think over the hard questions of life in the toiler or shower...

But this is ridiculous!

I kid you not, I almost threw my computer across the room! DDD:

If there was a spider that big (or any size, for that matter) on my toilet paper, I wouldn't even sit on that toilet! No matter how badly I had to go, no matter if it was number 1, 2, OR 3! I would hold it!

Not that I have arachnophobia or anything but I can't even look at the picture!

One look at something like that and my house would be for sale-if there was anything left after I fried that thing with a flame thrower that is.

I have shared rustic cabins with spiders in areas too far too reach so I just went to bed - bats are another matter - I do not want something that is so prolific in developing guano sharing my quarters.

On a lighter note - I am glad that this topic survived until Valentine's Day, just shows you how much heart it has.

Love ya,

Sally

Spiders aren't that bad! Most of them aren't THAT poisonous, not in a fatal way. The bite just festers a while and a golf ball hole develops, no big deal.

And even the ones that do bite you, especially on your neck or other tender parts while you sleep, they don't mean anything by it! It's just a friendly reminder not to roll over them in your sleep. They love the warmth of your bed clothes. what fanged creature wouldn't.

So remember a spider can be your friend, so cultivate an inner-species understanding. Carefully explain to the next eight legged furry monster your concern, like how they hide in your shoes, and how they run up your bare legs when you don't expect it. And suggest there are better was to show their love.

And cherish that little furry spiderweb ball full of eggs, in the corner of your parlor, the one about to burst open with hundreds of lttle spider babies, rushing out to discover a new world! So cute!

Be sypathetic to your spider buddies. Establish a raport and a common respect.

Then put on those pointed toe heels or cowboy boots and squish 'em gooey dead as they scurry for the corners of the room.

maybe what this thread needs is a good story....

*Clears throat* AHEM....

One day, there was a Cowboy. And this Cowboy was not any other ordinary Cowboy.... he was the most awesome Cowboy in the world..

oh, wait....

this isn't a story... I'm just talkin' bout myself again...

MY BAD!

[Guest NatashaJade]

I can see by your outfit that you are a cowboy. I see by your outfit you are a cowboy too. We see by our outfits that we are both cowboys. If you get an outfit, you can be a cowboy too.

Talking about Cowboy, I guess it is better to talk about yourself than to talk about others.

Speaking of me.......

Love ya,

Today is National Gum Drop day right in the middle of Random Act of Kindness week smack dab in the middle of  Pull Your Sofa Off The Wall Month, Return Shopping Carts to the Supermarket Month and Spunky Old Broads Month.

I'm not telling anyone what to do...but if you have a  gum drop loving spunky old broad in your neighborhood with either a sofa stuck to the wall or a garage full of shopping carts, isn't it obvious?

Ode to a snooze button

I hate loving you

Our relationship is destructive yet addictive

Especially on cold winter mornings when the comforter warms my soul

Yet you always leave me

Short of breath and time

And then they yell.

They don't understand us

They dont want to share me

They want my time

Then they threaten me.

First it will be verbal

Then written

Then time off...in bed...with you.

Hmmmmm.

[Guest Cowboy]

ppppfffft sexiness. Go on a 2nd honeymoon and leave the dog with me! What kinda madness is this anyway?

It's not the sexiness that's distracting you, it's the decisions of what to wear that's distracting you...

oh jeez... 1 sec....

( NO REX!! NO! Down boy! Down, down, no no no no, NOT THE CAT!! Rexxxx... the cat is not a chew toy! Come back here with him! )
