Can I ask for an abridgement? Smtch shd wrk.
I've sold all of my belongings and joined a commune.
Welcome back! We spent a lot of time organizing an imaginary potluck. There's a thread about literary resolutions but I don't remember seeing one of the everyday sort.
I don't think we accomplished anything remarkable, but I could be mistaken. It was enjoyable, nonetheless. Can't remember discussing resolutions, except most people agreed they did not make them any more.
In the last month:Bun went to NYC, got stuck for a while, got un-stuck and is now home trying to explain her absence to a deeply suspicious German housemate.
Clark attended a TSO concert, shared the TMI thread with Britt and remained utterly undaunted by efforts to compete with his Musical XX thread.
Sally came out from under the table and admitted she likes Canada geese.
There's more, but I have to go do some actual work...bbl
Oh, and we gave out some awards. RA and I are looking for some Ativan.
Kevin Knows ALL and is hilarious at dispensing wisdom, but then he went away on vacation.

So that's...multiply by pi...carry the 7...25 miles! Go Janine!

Hi Smetchie! I've missed you. :) Other than that, I plan to just hover around this thread because I don't know much of what's been happening since October(ish)... just bits here and there.

Lots of people promised to be around on NYE but I think only Larry and Britt made it to midnight.
I made it to midnight, actually it was past 1:00.
Couldn't say much of what's been going on. I started lurking around here a couple of weeks ago. :)

Larry wrote: "Some time next week, Michael."Thanks, Larry.
...further bulletins:Janine dreamt of the apocalypse and no sock monkeys survived although many TCers did.
There was a general agreement that no matter how you spell them, pajamas/pyjamas are a good thing.
Lobstergirl revived some zombie threads with relevant and pithy posts.
There was a long discussion in which Americans and Australians and Europeans learned much about Canadians and Barb got a sore throat from answering all our questions.
Heidi started a new job and
New members joined, some stayed, some didn't.
I think those are the highlights.
(pssst... Jammies, it's mostly because my laptop died a few months ago, so I'm still contemplating what the replacement should be... and because of the new job, too)
Jammies is in charge of any further summaries, abridgments and whatnots.

A summary of how everyone you know feels about the Ohio turnpike rest stops.

Hitler was stupid, the Germans besieged Leningrad for a long time, eventually more Russians came to help.

Has anyone mentioned all the postcards flying around, or the holiday (yes, dammit, I said HOLIDAY) gift exchange?
She is pretty nice.
Carol wrote: "I agree with all love for Jammies."Don't let her get your brains, though. :)

Sally wrote: "Why do the TCers not die?"From janine's dream:
i dreamt there was some sort of apocalyps and the world was burning. the fire was coming in the direction of me and the person i was with. he told me to climb a house. when we were on the house we could climb on a shelf on a wall. the shelf was so high the flames couldn't reach it and somehow the wall wasn't destroyed by the fire, even though everything else was destroyed by it. sitting on the shelf i could see the world. it was tiny and swallowed in flames. when the fire was over we climbed down from the shelf and discovered we weren't the only survivors. there was a very high percentage of TC'ers among the survivors. we started to rebuild the world, and everything was strange and illogical.

Jammers, there are some really great Ohio turnpike rest stops. Trust me, when you cross it a couple times every summer with three kids, you get to know them. The turnpike people renovated a couple near Cleveland, like the Commodore Perry One...http://www.ohioturnpike.org/media/ima...

In this case, "great" means reeking of stale urine.

Barb wrote: "Whoops ... sorry. Was it 8 a day or something ... why was I thinking 8?"i did 80 km in three days, maybe that's why you're confused. 25 on the first day, 15 the next, and then 40.
This topic has been frozen by the moderator. No new comments can be posted.
How many moderators are in this group? Did we have a shit-ton for a while and now it's scaled back to just a whole bunch?
Did I miss anything over the holidays? I keep trying to catch up but every thread I go into is just making me more confused.
And can someone PLEASE tell me where the New Year's Resolutions are? Because if you don't, I'm going to start a thread and the last thing this group needs is duplicate threads!
Who's new that's been posting a lot?
...and anything else that was interesting.
