Looking for a different run-of-the-mill thread type. Any suggestions? (humor of course) Is there life on this (CR) planet? (weather is winning – I’m under)
Why would you need a thread mill? are you doing so much threading that you can’t use an ordinary tap?
It seems to me that oftentimes this entire Coffee Room is a “threadmill”. Some days there are many new threads started and many of them are inane (not insane). Some of the topics are just plain silly. One of the few threads that I don’t believe I have ever seen is about the weather. Perhaps we should have a “weather” thread and everyone can post the weather forecast for their area on a daily basis. Now wouldn’at that be exciting! Have a good day everyone.
Minyan Gal your weather thread is a cute idea. At least I and you think so. But I did a search (as supposed to before beginning a new thread) and saw its been tried before. Look how many posts it got. Maybe start using it and see whether the weather thread picks up like a ray of sunshine and a breath of fresh air or blows itself out again into a wet nothing
Shticky Guy: I can’t believe that someone actually did start a weather thread at some time. How boring. I was being sarcastic and obviously didn’t do a very good job of it. I can’t think of what punctuation marks I could have used to indicate sarcasm.
As humor is always a great topic, I will tell you a true story that is very funny. At my shul, one of the Shabbat regulars is a man who is either 106 or 109 – he isn’t sure. He had to start using a walker last year after a tumble, and he isn’t one bit happy about it. He is often given aliyah and refuses to use the ramp with his walker – he insists on walking up the steps. Of course, the usher helps him. Now the usher just celebrated his 95th birthday, so someone else has to help the two of them up the stairs. (the usher is at shul for morning minyan 7 days a week). Now the funny story. Another member had an aliyah in honor of this 90th birthday. When he was done everyone was wishing him Mazel Tov and Yasher Koach. The 106 year old said to him “why you are just a young pisher – I had my Bar Mitzvah before you were born.” I just realized that this doesn’t look as funny written down as it was when it actually happened. BTW, I am in my mid 60’s and divorced. One of my friends said “surely there must be some eligible men that you meet at shul.” I had to tell her that the youngest “single” men are at least 85 years old.
Now, if anyone has some funny, true anecdotes, why not post them here.
