Are you a 'regular' here on the 'Conversation' side?

16 years ago

I see several who frequently start threads here, or who frequently respond to threads already started, but was just wondering how many stopped by here on this side on a regular basis....or maybe lurk without posting, or others who only check here occasionally.

How often do you 'check' over here?

I've really enjoyed a few 'lively', funny and informative threads here, yet I see some posts occasionally going without any replies when looking for help.

Sue...just thinking out loud

thanks for the picture and many thanks for the "bump." I've heard it refered to before, but was a bit clueless about it. (Oh great...just realized...I'm about to get sucked in to a new area of the forum. Like I have the time. LOL)

is this just a one time thing???? We at the Kitchen Table have a chat room available all the time... One of the ladies set it up. We used to go there every night...we got to know each other quite well.. But a couple of them got jobs and couldn't stay up until all hours of the night like some of us....LOL Every now and then I'll post that I'm going to chat and leave a link...then some will come over and chat. It's fun. patti

We went with Blockbuster online because at the time it was less expensive than Netflix at the time. Now that they've raised their rates to the same as Netflix I don't mind since I can return movies to the store on the way to work and they get counted as checked in a day or two faster. Also, I get coupons for a couple of "free" store rentals each month. Still, being summer I'm not renting as many. Mostly I'm getting old comedy series, e.g. Kids in the Hall and Strangers With Candy and special interest documentaries like The God Who Wasn't There and Walking with Prehistoric Beasts, cable stuff I don't get like Penn & Teller's BS and of course a lot of mainstream movies. I agree about Walk the Line. Quite good but seemed much like Ray. (We tend to get Academy Award nominees/winners for the few months after the ceremonies) And as for 28 Days Later, that was fun to watch with my epidemiologist. We laughed our butts off. Atrophying biddies. That's funny! What is it about fussy, ugly flowers that draws that crowd?

Hi Sue,
You know I check over here, not everyday, but often. I think you all would be surprised how many people read posts but do not respond. I'm on another forum where you can see how many times a post was looked at and I was very surprised! Often of course people don't have anything pertinent to the topic to add. But I bet this post was looked at many times already, and people haven't responded. Weird I know.

Hi Sue,
I'm here everyday but seldom have anything to say. I have actually started to respond to this thread several times but didn't. I've been fairly busy with the SASBE offer this year but that slowed down and I have since donated the rest of my seed to bakemom so I'm done for the year. Time to get off my butt and get the yard put away for the winter and prepare for next year.

Hi Jim,

I have since donated the rest of my seed to bakemom so I'm done for the year.
Are you sure you didn't just do that to keep from going postal?

I've not begun to start trading seeds, but have at least have finally started some fall clean up outside...something it seems I've never gotten done before. Beds/areas got in really bad shape this past season, what with the extreme temps, lack of rain, and me with lack of any energy.
I'm looking forward to doing some winter sowing (hopefully without overdoing it) during the winter months, and then the joy of picking out what tomatoes (especially) and other things I want to try in the veggie garden.
I'm hoping 2008 will be the best gardening season ever!

Sue,
I hoping next year will be great too. I planted so many things in the past couple of years so they should be looking more established next year. And you know I'm looking forward to next year's tomatoes already.

Hi Sue,
So many of the plants you sent me last spring has really grown before the frost hit. Even with the drought we had they did really well. ; )
I come here often and read. I hardly ever post here. When I do post its usually in cycles. I will reply to several threads then stop. Sometimes for a year or so. Then something gets my attention and I will start posting again. Lol.
Obviously right now Im in one of the "posting cycles". : ) Darla

I stop by to see what's up. Yep, jim_b sent the seeds and literally dozens of his packs are winging their way across the country this week. The Newbie Seed Project is actually somewhat relaxing for me in that I generally do not take orders for seeds - it's my choice, but sometimes I am able to customize them a bit.

Seems some of my favorite plants came from seed I didn't know I wanted!

Gee Sue, I used to be a regular but it has been a long time. I swore I was giving up gardening but I just can't seem to do it. (addicted? Not me) Guess it's time to give up on giving up. LOL

Yes, and maybe while you are giving things up, you can winter sow a few hundred containers. That oughtta help...LOL
