USMB Coffee Shop IV

[Big Black Dog]

Well, tomorrow morning, early, I will take the doggies to my buddy the vet for boarding. On the way home I will stop by the bank and get a little traveling around money and then come home, hop into the RV, and be on the way. First stop will be Gettysburg, PA, and then on to Hershey, PA. From there, will head north into New York enroute to New Hampshire and Vermont. From there I just don't know. Most likely Maine and then down the coast until just north of NYC and turn west headed for home. Everybody have a good time while I'm away and I'll check in now and then if time allows. Talk to you later on...

Note to Foxy... If I'm well enough to go on vacation, I'm well enough to come off of the concerns list. I'm all cured. Please remove me. Don't want people praying for me until something else comes up! Well, never mind... Tossing my name up to the Good Lord is never a bad idea.

Jealous, BBD! Have a great, safe and memorable trip.

Oh darn BBD. I did take you off the list after you advised that you're all well, but failed to delete it from my master list. So sorry. You got several unnecessary prayers and positive vibes. But I bet the good Lord will just bank them until they're needed. I like to look at it that way anyway. I am so glad you're feeling good though. Considering that some people fight that horrible bug for years. . . .

I might send a little prayer for safe travels and a wonderful trip for you and Mrs. BBD too.

Good night darlinks. I love you guys.

And we're still keeping vigil for

Harper (Save's granddaughter),
Sunshine,
Pogo’s friend Pat and special comfort for Pogo,
TK, and TK's grandma,
Sheila’s friend Shirley,
Spoonie, Ringel, and Sheila's sore backs,
Sherry’s Mom,
BDBoop, her sis, and family,
Hombre,
Pix,
Becki and Becki’s hubby,
Sheila and son Andrew,
Noomi’s Auntie Marj and Nana,
Sheila's sore foot post surgery healing,
Complete healing for Mrs. Ringel and assurance for Ringel,
007's Mom,
Stat's aunt, nephew, and his loved ones with shingles,
Pogo's aunt,
All of us and those we care about who are looking for work,
All who are dealing with colds and flu,
And all others we love and hold in concern.

And the light is on awaiting the return of Oddball, Sunshine, and Becki.

P.S. Sometimes in the editing of the vigil list or when I have switched computers, somebody gets dropped that is supposed to be on it. This will always be inadvertent and if ya'll would call it to my attention, it would be much appreciated.

Good morning, everyone. I wish you a good start into your respective Tuesdays.

 

[Noomi]

Heard tonight that there is a Seminar with our karate club founder in October. Its a three hour class AND you have the option of a dinner with Kancho afterward. If I can get someone to drive me, I could go to the dinner with them, otherwise I will have to do the class only and I would like to meet other higher grades like Shihan who may be there, too.

After a short and easy day at work, going to head over to my mom's soon for some mouthwatering ribs.

Your mom makes awesome ribs!

Safe travels and cheaper gas for BBD!

Been thinking about the board changes. It is the people that make the board, not a format. It wouldn't be USMB if some of you choose to leave. Try to hang in there. For those that do, we will probably have some new friends as others who actually like this format, that is used elsewhere, find us.

The Board is the aggregate of the posters, good and bad.

I am going to give the board about one more month, but the attitude outside of the lounge has become very, very raw. Members have made death threats on other members. The level of personal attacks has skyrocketed and a startling lack of the most basic of human decency is showing in many members. It is very, very ugly, and frankly, I have more important things to do in life. So, if the board stays this ugly, I'll be gone.

When a member writes THREE TIMES in a row on a thread that two other members should go kill themselves, and that member, after having been reported, is not banned, then something is seriously wrong with USMB. Seriously. That happened yesterday and the offender is here today, posting away.

That is just plain old batshit crazy. And an excellent way to completely destroy an online forum like this one.

totally lost here. I really hate the new format, may end up leaving. How's everybody else doing with it?

Has some nice features and some that suck. There is a learning curve for us un-techie types but it does become tolerable with practice--we can all help with the stuff that works a little differently and isn't intuitive so don't hesitate to ask. Day by day it is getting a bit easier to use.

A cool head and a finger that stays away from the disagree button can go a long way. It starts with each of us being nicer out on the board. Everyone has a choice.

 

[saveliberty]

I was gone for a long time, because it was worse than now. My prior post was not directed at anyone.

You're vulgar and pornographic posts are better?

The very fact that you addressed me in this way right here in the coffee shop just proved my point. Raw, raw, raw.

Instead of approaching the idea, you just attacked me. I have never done that to you here nor would I. I personally don't give a fuck whether you think my posts are vulgar, but I challenge you to show even one posting of mine in USMB that is pornographic, for such postings are not allowed. By doing what you did right here, right now, again, you proved my point. If you are referring to insults in the FZ, then, well. lol....

Think about it.
