USMB Coffee Shop IV

QUESTION TO THE COFFEE SHOPPERS:
Back when we had to close the original Coffee Shop, C_K pinned the Coffee Shop so we would always be on top. But now with the new software, we are still pinned but are no longer bolded on the list like all the other threads and we appear before admin's instruction thread and as a result are pretty invisible. Would you be comfortable asking that we be unpinned and allowed to float and sink or swim on our own merits? And think about it, because we can at least find ourselves now with considerably more difficulty than we used to. If we allow the thread to float naturally that could make it more difficult. Or not. Don't know until we try.

I am discouraged that the posting from so many of our regulars has fallen off in the transition. I am becoming more comfortable with the new look but still feel irritated and frustrated that we have lost so much functionality that made the old software so easy and comfortable to use. But oh well. Even us old dogs can learn new tricks yes?

Excerpt from your post:


"Would you be comfortable asking that we be unpinned and allowed to float and sink or swim on our own merits?"

Yes, as this system becomes less capitalistic and more socialistic, I LOVE your suggestion. On merit. :thup:

That was not a political statement, rather an economic one.
 
Busy day yesterday! I got to Doc's at about noon and had the bar set up and the poker tables ready by 2. 18 in the 1st tournament. Then it was convert from poker to dance floor and start packing coolers as fast as the ice machine could make cubes. At midnight, we did our part for ALS with our ice bucket challenge. 12 in the first round as I videoed and only one in the second round. I'll post video of my wet self soon.

After the ice bucket challenge, we passed out rubber band guns and nerf bullet guns and had the gunfight at the OK Coral.

OH we have another tradition at Doc Holliday's. About 11 PM on Friday and Saturday, the DJ plays George Thorogood's "One bourbon, One Scotch and One Beer" Max lined up 14 shots of Bourbon, 14 shots of Scotch and 14 bottles of beer and at the appropriate point in the song......

I can't even navigate to Foxy's post as I keep getting a "502 Bad Gateway" error.
And a few minutes ago in another thread everything completely froze. And now I can't get smilies to open up, plus my edit didn't take. :eusa_clap:

Let's hear it for the new "faster" software! :eusa_shifty:

I got that a moment ago when I edited the post above. It seems to have cleared up here, at least on my end.

I'm not all that impressed either, actually.

I hope it's because they're cleaning out all the redundant ones. :thup:

The smilies I have done today are all typed out manually. I always found that faster than opening up the pool. I'm sure I'm not the only one. But still, they're a nice resource to have.

Yes, ditto all that. :thup:

Heard a song yesterday and thought of you Pogo. I don't know what it was but knew you would have liked it.

Make a great one....I am over and out, so to speak.
 
The Coffee Shop shall rise again! Do what you think is best. I am still busy with landscape projects and a wedding next Saturday, so I'll pull my weight in here better in 10 days or so.

I usually type out the smilies I know, but I only remember a couple of them, so I need the whole list a lot of the time. :lol:
 
Btw Foxy - note that AquaAthena's post above (8849) nest-quotes six levels, so nesting is still enabled at least that far. Six is not too bad on the eyes although much more than that might get dicey.
 
These girls certainly aren't loitering...

And yes @Sherry.....I blame you. :)
 
Well, I walked down to visit my friend yesterday and walked back (okay, limped), it was the most I've walked in 10 weeks. Hoping for continued improvement. Had the board meeting yesterday for our sorority (non-academic, we raise funds to fight cancer), today I'll be going to the church to make up lunches to hand out tomorrow. Feel like I'm getting back in the saddle. It's sunny and beautiful and all is right with the world. :)
