Will do! Gas is at $2.54 and Wal-mart is 1/3rd of a mile down the road so that will be 7 cents!!

I have given this much thought and have reduced it to this.

Threads like this give members who wish to participate an opportunity to chat. While chatting they remain active on the board and scan other threads and comment and help when needed.
It not a cold sterile environment, it is a warm and friendly place.
Doing away with threads like these will cause said members to seek out other alternatives and thus become less activehelpful.

Fair enough. Like I said I was honestly curious. In part because eventually these all tend to head towards well out of bounds.

We get to know other members! we interact! its in the break room! its fun,! oops! I said the fun word! Why do you dislike them? In any other thread if there is an offending post you delete the offending post and warn the poster, in these you just lock the thread or delete it completely! whats up with that? I have made some good friends in these threads, this forum is to bring people together with the same likes and dislikes and when it works it seems to peeve off certain mods! and boom the hammer falls, what do you expect to happen when people with the same likes and dislikes get together to happen? if we do become friends and pass the day with threads like this you say enough and put a stop to it. don't make sense to me.

I don't care if you guys are having fun, like I said in my post I wanted to know what the point was.

We got a bunch of snow down here! havent seen a snow like this in a few years...no biggie for you northern fellas but we really never get much snow down here.

 

[Bigum1969]

Yeah, I've got about 8+ inches. (of snow, that is )

 

[Bigum1969]

So, is a trip to Whittaker's out of the question?
