Title: Thoughts On Topix Closing
Post by: Texas Pete on December 31, 2018, 11:33:14 pm
I knew it was going to happen but I was not ready, would have liked to tell my friends goodby!

What are your thoughts.

I know a lot of drama starters are upset about it!  LOL

You're doing fine, Double Clutcher. It's kinda like riding a bike. You don't know how until you try and the more you try, the better you get. It's fine if you fall and bust your butt. Someone's gonna laugh and someone's gonna help you out but with each stumble, you'll just get better and better.

Post by: Weepy on January 09, 2019, 11:10:10 pm
thanks, Pete. Should not take me long to figure it out but was used to Topix for 8 years, it was the only forum I used in that period. And has a spellcheck feature, should eliminate the job of Spelling Nazi.

I was expecting a new forum design soon  not a permanant shutdown. I seen a story that Topix was facing 15 counts of slander/libel and sounds accurate. If it was just bottom line they would have told us, just like they did a few years back with the Topix click bait game and their Politix site. I always felt they were being sued and the state gov'ts of WV and KY are not fans of Topix.

I was over at Reddit.com hoping some would find me, I do not do social media except for family matters. Not really a fan there. I met Pagan over there as well as SMF trying to stir schidt with me along with a couple others not affiliated with this group of posters.

This is a pretty cool site Weepy, but it does take a minute to get use to.

As for the "spelling nazi" I read her on Topix right before it shut down that I was the spelling nazi. I'll have it known that I ONLY checked a few certain people that got on my nerves and only because I knew it would get to them big time. I personally don't care how anyone spells chit as long as they aren't trying to insult me or one of my friends when they do it.

Hello Icno. Never thought about you when writing that.  :) was referring to assholes like SMF, Spaci and many morons who misspell worse that me. A SN tend to correct spelling to be an azz or deflect from responding, you always never deflected from giving your opinion on anything.

I was only like 350 posts from reaching 30k posts on Topix. I expected that mark, dunno about 40k. As mentioned before I expected topix a Make over not eliminated. The day it happened I suspected legal action took it off and probably a gag order.

About a week before closing, mods thrashed me for calling Richie T "Dick", which was Spaci the klown's doing.

Imho topix had been on life support for at least the last 2 yrs, viewership dropped drastically, mods enabling trolls to run amok, posting pi and othrt hateful things theres no wonder everyone was leaving in droves. Id been posting around Pete since 2011 and I think he'll agree it was much different then, night and day of what it became in the end...

understandable, Weepy was already taken over there as well as my next three choices and went with "Weepist"  would not suprise me if it was someone preventing me from grabbing it. That forum has tons of ex topix posters.Pagan was over there as well she went by "zomerdans" last talked to her Saturday, she may have had her baby by now, she said it was any time.

Dunno about calling it Welch but that is a good idea. I see your blank forum. Good way to bring the core group, think I will miss smacking around certain people but that is fine. Good way to talk about the good ol days of Topix, it was an adventure not like any other.

Actually a friend at Reddit, a former Topix poster who is in  email contact with one of your friends and knows everyone in this core group told me. Said person wants to be anonymous at this time and I will abide by person's wishes. I asked about you and got a response later in the day.

I found it a few days after topix closed by searching about topix closing. They had a couple threads about Topix and its traffic increased shortly after. It is an old style collapsable message board, not my preference but have a few friends unconnected to this group as they never came to Welch and know nobody here. I used to go to a few other boards to get away from the repetitiveness of SMF and Spaci etc the final four months, kinda looked like I went away from there but not the case. They operated on a seven year old script and buried it into the ground,they went after CD over a non event from 2011. I was just sick of it..

I agree except CD brought some of that on herself especially when she started that thread and it caused her to be banned.

She got banned over arguing with mods and had more to do with ET/ Quills from what I understood. The mods were not good at the end. I am glad to see that end even if it is because Topix ended, I hope to never see Kook or Spaci again...

Lets just hope we do not run into anymore types like Kook and Spaci da klown. They are bad for business on any message board and are vengeful as well as deceitful people. They will find this board eventually and lurk but think they gotta register for smileys judgeits and such. They were pissed when the new CDs hangout was up and could not enter it being a gray box and a personal run sub forum of Welch.

I lost a lot of respect for Spaci getting Prince banned.  I called Spaci by that name after the air in the hollow area between the ears and she lived up to that comment getting him banned because she cannot interpret metaphoric or symbolic speaking and thought Prince was gonna kill her, I think she did that on purpose or she is the biggest wuss in history as they are long distances apart and knowingly would never met and Prince had no violent bone in him at all, I met very few more posters more friendly than him. Bytch is scum and that is not the only one, I got a long laundry list with her.

I expect those two to be the SB participants and right now expect the Saints to win. This may be the Saints last shot for awhile. Could be Pats as well but I see no sign the other three teams in the AFC East is ready to take over (outside of one occasional win like the Dolphins got) for next year. Sam Darnold could improve but how much?

To add to this, my doubts about the Chiefs has more todo with their historyof a choke mentality, this is only the 2nd AFC title game after the merger in 1970. Chiefs won SB IV year before merger and were an AFL franchise, not NFL, I know you know that as well. I was way to young to remeber that SB. Chiefs were the most successful AFL franchise but not the case in NFL.

Chiefs had several years in the past couple decades with a near prohibitive favorite but could not win as the top seed inthe Div round. They remind me ofthe old Houston Oilers, they had unstoppable teams in reg season but cannot. Win in playoffs, took them to move to Nashville to get to the SB.

Technically SB V with Colts and Cowboys was the real Super Bowl I as it was the first SB solely under the NFL banner but made an agreement to granfather the four  SBs played against two best teams from the rival football leagues. NFL and former AFL teams did not play regular season games until the merger in 1970.

I got an e-mail from Topix and am going to post it in a few places here.

Nice site ya got there Pete.  I hope you are able to pull a lot of the good folk from Topix over there and leave some of the trouble makers behind. Thanks for the Shoutout on the Names thread.  Topix certainly isn't the same without you guys and my job is a lot less interesting as a result.

Yeah, Laci was a lot more like her gray box characters than she was the fake Christian that she portrayed as Laci Ann. She was kind of sick.

It is her type the reason religion has declined over the last few decades.

I see for a few years now the Weather Channel decided to name Winter storms like they name hurricanes but the NWS and other agencies do not acknowledge storms by name. I am not a fan of that either but guess that is so everyone in that storms path knows the origin of the storm hitting them, I dunno.

I'm surprised it took them this long to have a good team.  Lord knows they have the money.  My son is finishing up his BSN there. (online)

It's ironic that the men's team is doing well and the women's team is struggling.

I am kinda suprised of UT's lack of success in men's basketball but that school and their AD always kept focused on football and throwing cash there.

Alabama and Auburn as well as the MS schools should be good in basketball as the demographics are there for that sport in that region of the country.

I always felt UNC could succeed in football but stays focused on basketball. Never understood why most schools are good at one sport average at best in the other. WVU is one of the schools that tries to do well in both year in and out, our star player is out for the season and our Basketball season is lost, very young team that is expected to factor next year.

It was always like that. The thing that bugs me is when people says "Topix used to be great place to post" and it was always controversial from the beginning. People were fighing and was a bigger jungle in 2010 than it was in the last year. Before I came there they did not post locations for gray boxes as I heard. Topix was sued as early as 2008 for PI problems...

The PI was the thing that used to make me angry. That was what people did when they couldn’t get the best of you. Cookie and her Gang were the worst for that and like I told them, where I was concerned, it never worked. I was there until the end....PI or not.

Many had wanted my email, dared me to come on FB  or some type of identifier in order to silence me but never happened and like you I survived with my initial account intact. I had about 10 of those stupid red letter warnings, just behaved a little while and started back up. Three of those warnings were calling Richie T "Dick" and they came from Kook or Spaci, they never could stand it. I always said if you want to be an azz, make sure your name ain't Richard, that was where "Dick" came from.

I got two warnings using "SMF" as well. Used *** in describing her until the heat died down. SMF was permanent from me. Funny thing is I was not the first one to use it, think it was Mark and thought it was funny and went with it.

The mods were really funny in a pathetic way. They knew they couldn’t do anything about gray boxes, so they would inevitably go after the registered posters. In a way, I regret ever registering. It was like they could always hold your account over your head. Gray boxes didn’t have to worry about that and Topix had no recourse if they were using a VPN.

Morning Texas Pete, Hi Funny and Friends, Remember I used to be Karybidly, SharonRimpa, Rimpa Timpa, Grayson, Jlynxx  and Lynxx
The stalker came and attacked my friends on topix and fought with Sharlene and you ( texaspete ) I think.... before you had the stalker banned. then she came back with my names and used the gray boxes. She attacked you again. it was so bad. I had to leave so the stalker left you all alone till the topix shutted down. I am back and feel safe here.

The stalker attacked my grandchildren and sister in law on the facebook. My sister in law called Jefferson County Attorney about her on Dec 21st. She has not bothered my family and me since. It will be six years in May.

There is no way for her to get here because this is safe . Thank you Texas Pete. I can be here for a long time. Make more new friends.
You are awesome!

Hugs

Good morning! That is the thing I hated about Topix, you can attack me because I am an adult and able to take up for myself but when you go after minor children that's a different story. Oh and Timpa, when I say, you, I don't mean you personally but you as anyone.

Sounds like Kooks, she threatened to call the police on me after I said I shoot loons. Roflmao, I guess that caused her to have a guilty conscience because loons are birds and I told her to go ahead and call them on me. I know 4 out of 5 judges in this town, the police chief, the sheriff, police officers, deputies and lawyers in this town and worked with a lot of them. She shut up then. She also threatened to call my place of employment.  I said go ahead,  it is at my house since I am retired. Hahahahaha. She was batshyte crazy

You know what they say, folks..... "You can please some of the people some of the time, but you can't please all the people all the time." I suppose I'm a different sort than some. It's always been my habit if I walked in a place and didn't particularly care for the atmosphere, I turned and walked back out. It's that simple. Far be it for me to criticize an establishment for not catering to my specific desires. If a television program comes on that I don't like, I change the channel. If I start reading a book and realize I'm not going to enjoy it, I put it down and read something else.

Why complain when it's so easy to simply find enjoyment elsewhere and leave those be that obviously enjoy something different than you? If I were to be blunt I would classify that behavior as rude and overbearing but I'm not rude enough to make those types of accusations regarding another.

Enjoy folks and reminisce away! I enjoy reading it, but that's just me.  ;)

Most have ignore features but does not ignore when quoted later by someone else not ignored. The quote button is used more than reply in the modern day anyhow. I probably would not use ignore feature at all as people can do it and I have thick skin myself, rarely ever go into a tirade myself. I would use it to eliminate spam style posts perhaps..

Chinese Laundry

A woman was unhappy with the way her laundry was done at the local Chinese Laundry, so she wrote a note and put it in the bag with the next collection of soiled clothes:

"USE MORE SOAP ON PANTIES!"

She got the laundry back, and was still dissatisfied with the results, so the following week she enclosed another note:

"USE MORE SOAP ON PANTIES!"

The Chinese laundryman became very annoyed, and when her clean laundry was delivered, it contained a note from laundryman:

"I USE PLENTY SOAP ON PANTIES!!

Your weather patterns are very misunderstood I  think. I have seen winter blasts in Houston before on TV in the past though it may not be often. Your rainstorms can be ugly. Is lightning a severe issue there? It is in places like SC and FL..

We get crazy storms here. I spent most of life in the upper Midwest and we had some ugly storms there, but here I think they are even worse. I guess this storm blew in around midnight last night with high winds and heavy rains. I slept through it, but my wife was awake. She said she saw a bright flash and heard a loud explosion. The transformer in front of our subdivision blew. We seem to have a lot of power outages here.

And it may be 20 degrees cooler by tomorrow. Today is out of ordinary, was in the 30s yesterday and in the teens during the past wekend..

We are in the middle of a weird weather pattern. We will get a few unusually warm days with temps in the 70’s and that has been followed by a week of bitter cold, rain, and high winds.

Cold for Texas. Lots of wind and rain today. Sounds like it’s going to be this way for a while.

So sorry it hasn’t been so good there, but it will improve with spring just around the corner.

Yes they are and both are cranky because they can’t go for a walk. Now I’m cranky because they can’t go for a walk. No heat, no lights, no tv, no hot water, a cranky dog, a cranky wife.....and 2.5 hours until the bar opens.

You need to buy a human powered treadmill and a battery operated full spectrum lamp. Possibly a generator would also help. Or earplugs. :P

Topic: Thoughts On Topix Closing

The Topix Forums Have Sailed Into the Sunset...maybe to rise again like the phoenix.

Just before sunrise there is a dark night.

Curious about how many people want Topix to return.  I am so over it. This is actually better Imo.

I’m done with it. Had been done with it for a long time. There was nothing left but fending off lies and gossip from a small group of people. I used to venture out onto other threads and forums, but I really lost interest in that too because most of them deteriorated into nonsense, lies, and gossip.  I do enjoy this more than Topix and I think that’s because it seems like more of a “controlled” atmosphere.

Exactly, it became pages and pages of the same bs, same people making the same comments and asking the same questions.

From what I’ve read I fear that Topix was a terrible place with far too much sock puppetry and grey boxes that promoted lots of dishonesty. So maybe it makes for a better place here? Idk.

I really can’t compare without the experience. But I do think that this place has a nice atmosphere, and with good people, comes good friends.
Just my opinion.

If you say so.

 Why do you think "this is actually better"?
Same bs every day, people putting personal information on topix and making snide comments about those of us who adopted children. Was told that we had adopted illegally, threats to have people's place of employment called, told that I was having affairs and I could go on and on.

I don’t care for that much drama either, so perhaps this will be something memorable to everyone.

Sure, it has glitches and such, but it will get better with time.

I also read that the commercials there were high jacked and would redirect you to a fictional site that would load spyware on your computer or smartphone.

Just a sad place to be, I guess.

There were just people who wanted to create discord and drama over everything. If I said my air conditioning wasn’t working there would be 25 pages of drama over that. If PL said she was going shopping, the trolls would erupt with a drama fest. There was no way to have a decent conversation there....at least not where we were posting.

Personally, I agree with Sundog in that for me, Topix had gotten old and stale. I mean seriously, people can only be called stupid or ugly so many times before it just has no meaning. LOL

However, that having been said, EVERYONE is entitled to their own feelings and opinions regarding Topix or anything else for that matter. Not everyone is going to agree on everything all the time. This is not the "Kumbaya" forum and it's not intended to be.

Obviously Pete doesn't have the same exposure Topix had. He also doesn't have the money or backing Chris Tolles has. I'm thinking he didn't intend to recreate Topix as we knew it. I'm fairly certain he merely intended to create a place where old Topix friends and acquaintances could gather and enjoy the light hearted bantering and camaraderie we once enjoyed in that other place.

So, enjoy!

Exactly. Topix people were searching here and there for our friends we lost contact with when Topix ended without so much as a days notice. To me, and of course i cannot speak for TP or anyone else, this is a nice place to keep in contact and not a recreation of Topix.
Topix had become standing water and was taking too much time just to fend off the repetitive bs.

I had heard that also, don't know if there is any truth in that or not.


Here’s one article from Wikipedia that you should find interesting.

It happened.

Less people less BS.

I doubt anyone misses the Topix adverts or it's very limited format.

My biggest concern when Topix shut down was that I’d lose contact with some friends who I only knew from Topix. This place takes care of that...well most of it anyway. I do like this site better so far. Seems easier to use now that I am getting used to it.

Seems like over the last few years Topix was just phoning it in. They hadn’t changed anything about the place or upgraded it in any way.

There were just people who wanted to create discord and drama over everything. If I said my air conditioning wasn’t working there would be 25 pages of drama over that. If PL said she was going shopping, the trolls would erupt with a drama fest. There was no way to have a decent conversation there....at least not where we were posting.

Good gracious me. They sound like a real band of misfits for sure.

Disgusting and backwards drones. Wtf?

They were and they also would call my kids imported aliens because we adopted internationally,  claimed we kidnapped them, that the adoptions weren't legal. Asked why I chose to adopt internationally instead of domestically even after telling them that at the time we chose to adopt that a  birth mother could change her mind and that you could have had the child since birth and 6 years and 11 months later the birth nother could have that child back. It was freaking ignorant.  We are grateful to their birth noms and I an grateful to all birth moms, not just my kids but all.

I can understand that kind of frustration. However, you do have a good family, as far as I can tell because it isn’t everyday that a good mother and father adopts someone else’s children.

Did you ever have your own?
You don’t have to answer this if it bothers you in any way.

Nope. Never had my own, couldn't get pregnant and even if I could have the chances of being able to carry to full term would have been risky. It never bothered me that I couldn't.  My husband and I had said that even if we could have had kids of our own, we still would have adopted. I had worked for an agency that specialized in adoptions when when I was younger and always delighted in seeing the families.

You and your husband are two very good people and I admire you both. It isn’t everyday that you run into people that actually want a family and care enough to still have that family when they can’t; and that’s the sweetest thing I can imagine.

Glad I met you.

Thank you for that comment.  Our thoughts were that people can have kids but it takes someone willing to raise kids not their own to be a real family.  I have cousins who were adopted and never thought of them being different. They were family,  I guess that is why adoption was always near and dear to me. In this family, we adopt everything even our animals. Lol.

Thank you. We plan on having a great weekend. Next week we celebrate 25 years of marriage. People are always amazed that it lasted because we met and was engaged a month after meeting. We also celebrate our daughter's adoption day which coincidentally is the same day as our wedding anniversary. Hands down the best  gift I ever got. Our son is at Job Corp getting his high school diploma and welding certification and it is ran like the military. He loves it. But we miss him.

Good morning SD. Hope you are well also? Enjoying some quiet and a cup of coffee before husband and daughter plus her friend get up.

Quiet here too. Wife is out for her morning walk and my dog is sleeping. Just enjoying it while it lasts.

Enjoy your time with him. He will.grow quickly! I have to pick daughter up in a bit,  get hair cut and then she is having a friend over for a sleepover. We got them pizzas and other junk food to eat. Lol, I will be enjoying my yogurt when they load up on sugar highs. Lol
He is with me most of the time. He never wants to be put down! I carry him about with me in the baby sling. He wants me to sit with him in Luka's big chair,he wants wrapped in his blue thermal blanket, no other will do. I still sing to him the songs i sang when he was growing inside me. He will go to sleep and i can then put him in his crib but only if an article of my clothing is there for him to lay on. He is strongly opinionated like his parents.

Our girls all went skating for the afternoon. Dael has a part time job she has to be at later. Not sure the plans of Maddy and Nadia. Fiene is with her mama this weekend.

Timpa on what we were discussing earlier, be prepared that the medication I was telling you about will make you sleepy and really knocks the migraine out quick. At least it does me.

I used to get migraines so bad i had to go to hospital and they would give to me a shot. Have not had a migraine attack in over four yrs.

Just found out that my grandson done with his 2nd publish book. he s working on 3rd. He s 18 yrs old. He serves for Army.  I ordered 100 books from him 3 yrs ago on his 1st publish book. They still are on my bookcase shelf.  The name of his 1st book is Reconnected.  2nd book is Final Thoughts.  3rd , the name will be The Blind Sea

That is awesome. Are they on Amazon? 

My brother has or had a book, The Mind of Lux, on there. Not sure if it still is.

Thank you and he is showing the maturity that we were hoping he would. He is smart but in certain areas. He can draw anything and is good in science and math but in other areas he isn't as academically strong. His sister is good in all subjects but not as strong in math and science as he is. She also will tell you that she can't draw but she can play the flute, sing and plays volleyball. Lol.


I fully agree with this cause my daughter has the same issues. She has trouble figuring out people, yet she is one of the biggest wizards of math that I’ve ever seen!
But she gets her conniving from her mother. lol

Good morning all. Well, I had a poster who thought I was being a terrible mom because I posted that our son wasn't as smart as his sister. No 2 kids are alike and he is more talented in other areas than she is. I have seen people compare kids. His own sister will tell you she is not near as talented as he is. He is a more natural athlete at 6'2 but he doesn't care to play.

The nerve of some people. And I’d hardly say that those making such claims and any members of their family are hardly models of perfection themselves.

No one person is that smart in all fields of study, or within physical competitions. Not when we all have plus and minuses in a multitude of tasks that we either can, or cannot perform.

You have done more than adequate, so don’t let them bother you.

I have a topic that perhaps could be done in private with Texas Pete, but I've chosen this route to hear everyone's thoughts on this subject.
I've been out and about reading on other forums that appear to be expressing their discontent on Pete's choice of Mods for this private forum.
I could list, if one chooses - but, it's really not necessary as Pete is well aware of it and has responded, accordingly.

Personally, I couldn't be more happier in the way Pete has made his decisions on operating his personal forum.
It's a total success..
The Mods have been fair, upbeat, positive and most welcoming to all who choose to register here.

It's just plain fun, and a peaceful environment to be in surrounded by people enjoying each other's company. IMHO

hello everyone and Cooterdog...nice to see you here...welcome...

Hello PH.  Thank you.  This cold weather didn't miss us and ice on the roadways, power lines, and sidewalks is dangerous.  I  feel sorry for the animals staying outdoors in these colder, weather conditions.

Yes I'm outside in a way. I'm driving a yard switcher now. I move trailers from our yard to the docks to be unloaded or loaded. A lot of in and out puts me in the elements most of the time. I still do some local moves if they need me to but mainly stay at the facility.  I had gotten burned out with the stress and traffic down here. Got to where I had to do something.

Thank you,CD. He is a good combination of both is us. No worry, i do not mind showing off Louis!  Just ask anyone on my FB!

He is also with his father's lungs. He is super loud! and opinionated like both of us. Currently his opinion of his crib is very low and he thinks we should be holding him or carrying him in the sling 24/7. I have to trick him by placing an article of my clothing in his crib as a sheet so he thinks i have him.

A madhouse full of very bitter people that loved arguing just for the sake of argument.

It’s sad that there are so many lonely and angry people that want to bring you to their level when they have the opportunity and choice for change.

When I was in a forum my account got hacked/broken into and my name tarnished because of someone else’s very sad and lonely existence.

It isn’t enough to argue when they want you completely out of the forum altogether. But what they really want is to leave your life in ruin by taking it from you.
Your friends and your girlfriend are not immune when they attack.

I just hope that doesn’t happen here for the sake of myself, and other’s I care about.

 But enough about me.

Afternoon everyone. Hope all of you living up north are staying warm. It’s a balmy 58 here in Texas today and supposed to climb up into the 70’s this weekend.

Hey SD; It’s rough where I am and gets worse the farther north you go. lol

It’s currently 12 in my neighborhood with some snow accumulation of about an inch, but the cold?
Because of the wind it just goes through my heavy coat and jeans. Yikes!

True that.

Notice how is zero arguing without them. If we were the instigators as they always claimed, we would be trolling here, fighting with people etc yet we are not.

Very true.. I used to point out how civil ithe discussions were was without SMF and Spaci being around then SMF has a fit of rage with me, knew she would pop up and bytch.

I see SMF over at Reddit, I had seen her recent posts over there and is talking god and pretending to be from Australia with her Google abilities. Think she is trying to convince others who she is I guess. She had not consistently posted there but posts of her every few days. Never seen a reference to anyone else from Welch board coming from her. I not spoken directly with it since the start of the New Year...

I seen a post at Reddit of SMF speaking to Pete, who was under different name. She acknowledged the existence of this place afnd said she "was not interested" and used a few Kookoo vocabulary words such as "groupspeak" to weasel out of trying.  More whiny stuff you expect from her. I hope she stays away.

Huh, that ain’t nothing. It was even colder this morning. And I really don’t look forward to another one of those mornings. lol

It was so cold I couldn’t sleep so well.
Minus 5.

I really hate that kind of cold because it goes to your bones.

However, I have a family member in Alaska that laughs at my temperatures when he tells me it’s minus 40.
My god is that cold! I’d probably freeze the moment I walked onto the porch.

Exactly. I recall one time some of you were having a nice conversation about sports and Laci busted in all shook for the reason the topic was not religion. They would do that all of the time,just invent problems to have a reason to bitch. But always they would blame us and call us trolls even though their wicca thread was a thread created to troll persons of alternative religions.  Obviously, now it is proved whom the actual trolls were. None of us have even attempted to troll anyone or anything here.

I saw FSM on Reddit a few times, still pretending to be Aussie. I lost interest in Reddit after a few days. Not my jam.

I doubt many of that group is together much since Topix cancelled. They really never had much in common beyond hating and trolling the same people.

A madhouse full of very bitter people that loved arguing just for the sake of argument.

It’s sad that there are so many lonely and angry people that want to bring you to their level when they have the opportunity and choice for change.

When I was in a forum my account got hacked/broken into and my name tarnished because of someone else’s very sad and lonely existence.

It isn’t enough to argue when they want you completely out of the forum altogether. But what they really want is to leave your life in ruin by taking it from you.
Your friends and your girlfriend are not immune when they attack.

I just hope that doesn’t happen here for the sake of myself, and other’s I care about.

 But enough about me.

I feel this site due to it's smaller and more manageable size and having good mods, is safe enough. I find it to be a very positive place.  Also is not so time consuming.

There were people from Topix who have connections with persons in my personal life who were always trying to create drama etc. In the end,only ruined themselves and brought inconvenience to their own lives.  Lies cannot touch the truth and the truth always comes out.

My family I would always leave out. But they knew someone I loved and tried like the dickens to disrupt and disrespect us and always looking for ways to destroy our relationship. Just a bunch of buttholes trying to takeover the forum through obfuscation and innuendo. Hate is all they know. So I’m glad I’m here amongst good people that I can call my friends.

I still have the snow to shovel to the dogs house and I think I’ll bring him in to keep warm for the night.
I know he’s a little bit chubby to resist the cold, but it’s been too cold for my fur baby and I’m bringing him in again.

Point is taken but those elements has always existed since the formation of the modern day NFL in fact those issues created the modern NFL, in the 1960's the two conferences were their own league and politics and payroll isues got out of hand then, you did not need millions back then but they were paid well for that era as well..

Well, I guess with 6 Super Bowls he most certainly is and I can't imagine that title changing anytime soon. What a great accomplishment. It seems like no matter what, they somehow pull it off and more often than not it involves a great pass made by the GOAT.

I was pulling for the Rams but when I think about what Tom Brady's face would've looked like had the Rams pulled it off, I'm okay with the outcome.

The one thing I don't like much about Pete's forum is it shuts down way too early to accommodate many potential users that work the Night Shift.
No interaction, whatsoever, with the Night Shift posters that did register here.
Heck, it's only 11:50 PM, and it's dead.

This appears to be something this Forum lacks greatly towards excelling towards the future, if one wishes to continue keep these long-time, loyal posters interested in remaining here.
Please consider putting on some Night Owls to accommodate such posters that do exist here on your forum.
I mean why have a Night Shift Club if it shuts down at 8:00 PM?
Stupid..

I can go with the flow, but we need to consider those that are Night Owls and accommodate for such activity as well.
Otherwise, they lose interest in the site.
I mean I work night shift, myself, and can't be here for them, or I would be.
I'm not quite retired as of yet..

But, there are others here posting that can be..
I just happened to call in sick tonite for snow.
Thus, my reason for being here.
Hee, hee.. (for my grandbabies)

On a more serious note, Princess, we need to accommodate ALL posters that wish to post here and keep them attracted to Pete's forum.
They matter to all of us and it's important that we make an endeavour to try to do such.
For this forum, and to its future success.

Yes, it is Texas Pete's responsibility as the creator of this forum/Administrator, but there is much more that some others can do that are retired to assist him in these off-light hours that I have spoke of.  You have done such, whenever you could.

If this forum wishes to excel in this area and keep posters - we need to make provisions to accomodate those night-time posters.

The subject is closed until TP addresses these concerns..

This does nothing to address the issue that I spoke of.
Perhaps, we'll do better conversing in your Recipe thread where I first felt your kindness.

I work night shifts, care for both my grandchildren during my days (so my daughter & her husband can both tend to their own work obligations -avoiding $2,000 in daycare costs and keeping my grandchildren SAFE) and, yet, I still find time for my peaceful escape here at (Texas Pete's Forum)
So, don't speak to me about any family obligations- I know all about those and perform them faithfully - each and every day.

What YOU need to do(as a Moderator) is address the issue here that I spoke of and find some solutions to correct it, or better yet, just let Texas Pete do it!
I won't be addressing this issue again until it's resolved, and done in a respectable manner, by Pete.

Seeing as how you addressed on a forum that Pete allowed to be a mod of than I can and will address it and if you don't like that tough. You seem to think we should all live  on here 24/7 and we don't.  If you are as busy as you claim than it is a wonder you have any time to posts at all. Don't like that than don't posts on here at all where all of us do have other things to do in our lives than cater to you.

Yes, it is Texas Pete's responsibility as the creator of this forum/Administrator, but there is much more that some others can do that are retired to assist him in these off-light hours that I have spoke of.  You have done such, whenever you could.

If this forum wishes to excel in this area and keep posters - we need to make provisions to accomodate those night-time posters.

The subject is closed until TP addresses these concerns..
This forum isn't a paying gig so for now I got to keep my day  job and get 7/8 hours
of sleep every night. At this point we're taking anybody who walks in the door and are glad to
have them. I can't assign people to post the night shift, hopefully we can get enought members
to where that won't be a problem. For now there's nothing I can do about.

Dear IslandGurl;

Can we please get along with each other?
I know you are addressing a concern you have and I believe it has been answered by the forum creator, Texas Pete. So can you please drop the subject and have some fun?

You have good music and things you’ve posted that are enjoyable. So let us focus on that. Thanks

Now that’s funny! 😄
My boy wouldn’t hurt anyone as long as he knows I’m good with them. Otherwise, he’ll rip them apart.

If he knows I like you then you’ll have no trouble with him and he will slowly begin to like you, but if anyone tries anything then he’s got my back.

He’s a sweetheart, but can be very mean when it comes to me or his property and this house and yard are his dwellings. He’s funny like that and even knows the property boundaries. lol

But get to know him and he’ll look after you too.

Our first Australian Shepherd was what they called a blue eyed blue merle. She was silver,  black, white and brown but the silver was more of a silver blue. She looked like a wolf.

Wait..... What? We aren't getting paid? You mean to tell me, you expect people to work and not get a paycheck? Are you kidding me? Are you secretly "the Donald"?

I know you've done plenty to encourage others to join us here. I'm not a member of any other boards so I can't solicit posters. I know most people do like and/or need to sleep. I'm sometimes up in the middle of the night but it's not by choice and like so many others, my day starts early in the morning.

On Topix, posters came from different time zones so it was often easy to see everything moving in what we here in the Eastern Time Zone consider the middle of the night. In addition, Topix had at least 100,000 registered posters and probably twice as many unregistered posters. We don't have that many. We aren't even close.

Hopefully, things will pick up as time goes on and we can get this place rocking at all hours. Until then, let's hope everyone can find their little niche where and when they feel most comfortable.

Happy posting, friends!

Exactly and I think like ICNO where people posted from different time zones on Topix, it is hard to say what time zones people are in and when they should and shouldn't posts. Pete also said posts and people will reply if they want. I am waiting for friends to show up and then I will be gone for a while this morning.

The one thing I don't like much about Pete's forum is it shuts down way too early to accommodate many potential users that work the Night Shift.
No interaction, whatsoever, with the Night Shift posters that did register here.
Heck, it's only 11:50 PM, and it's dead.

This appears to be something this Forum lacks greatly towards excelling towards the future, if one wishes to continue keep these long-time, loyal posters interested in remaining here.
Please consider putting on some Night Owls to accommodate such posters that do exist here on your forum.
I mean why have a Night Shift Club if it shuts down at 8:00 PM?
Stupid..
My apologies. My light might sometimes be on in the middle of the night, but I ain't home so to speak. I often just forget to log out.

I'm curious because it says your post was made at 2:24 AM but you stated it was 11:50. Perhaps there's a difference in the time zones?

However, even at 11:50 many people would be ready for bed on a Sunday night because of work on Monday and we all know how Mondays are. BLAH!!

Hopefully, things will pick up before much longer. Pete can't exactly go out and drag people in here to post. LOL I remember when Topix was alive, I knew who would be on at what time and it was almost like clockwork.

Please continue to give this site a chance to accommodate your wealth of knowledge and expertise as well as your humor and wit. We enjoy reading your posts.

Thank you and enjoy!

I got no beef, I know this place does not have even close to what Topix has but it is fine with me. it does has features Topix did not. There is a good crowd here for this such board I feel.. It is not like Pete bought Topix and running it himself, this aint Topix, just former participants of the forum and more will come, I noticed Misty Fitch found it, had not spoken to her in a few years.

Well, I guess with 6 Super Bowls he most certainly is and I can't imagine that title changing anytime soon. What a great accomplishment. It seems like no matter what, they somehow pull it off and more often than not it involves a great pass made by the GOAT.

I was pulling for the Rams but when I think about what Tom Brady's face would've looked like had the Rams pulled it off, I'm okay with the outcome.

The Rams were a year ahead of themselves, I wished it was the Saints in the game. Rams played poorly but that game was on a projectory for Pats to have the last posession and would have won 13-10 if Goff had not thrown that INT.

This Rams team should return next year but gotta see how the offseason does to them but looks like they got a steady team for next few years. And they got a billion dollar stadium coming as well. Rams will be noticible in the 2020's. The chapter of NE is almost over, they will win division next year as their division does not seem ready to take them on, just like the last couple decades. After Beliche k era, they will go back to wandering around and some other team will show up every year...

I really didn't care, Weepy. I'm neither a Rams nor a Pats fan. I was just pulling for the Rams because I was certain NE would win. I do think they're an awesome team but at the end of the day, I'm a Broncos fan. However, my real love is with the Bengals.

That is the same way with me, Icno, 90% of Super Bowls do not involve a team that I feel partial too, I pull for the Panthers, used to pull for Redskins, I do watch the rest of the NFL too as objectively as possible.

purplelady* I agree with you about any person who stalks , he or she has no life. It had been going on for 5 1/2 years till December 21st, 2017. My sister in law called Jefferson County Attorney and told them that I am deaf. I need to communicate with family and friends on social media. The stalker prevented me and kept suspended my account every time. The prosecutor contacted the stalker. Everything stopped. It has been quiet and peace.  I remember that TexasPete, Flatline and Sharlene were there when the stalker attacked me on the topix. Sharlene scooted her away.

The stalker thinks she is above the judge and police. Nothing stopped her. I do not know what my sister in law did. She did a great job to scare her away. I thanked her.

Wow, that is one sick person. The stalker not your sister in law, she did a great job.

Hey...10 years ago today, I left Michigan for Texas. It was +12 degrees when I left Michigan. It was 74 when I arrived in Texas 3 days later. I saw no reason to ever go back.

Sundog (SD) and Purplelady, I left Kentucky for Texas in 1983. We lived in Wichita Falls, Houston, Austin and Elgin Texas for 10 years. When I learned that my parents needed me. I transferred my job to Kentucky. I was a Postal Worker for 35 years before I retired. I was Texas homesick for one year. I want to go back just one more time.

Yes we are Mark. I didn’t want to buy a house because I wasn’t sure we’d stay in Texas, but we’ve been here for 10 years, so I guess we are staying.

Actually, we’ve been renting the house we are buying for 4 years. So we won’t even have to move.

I gotcha and congratulations on your run. I'm almost there myself. I considered early retirement but I don't know what I'd do all day.

LOOL It is very much fun. I  began with ballet then i saw belly dancers and took the classes. I have not done straight up traditional belly dances in yrs. I create fusions with modern dance, belly dance and even ritual dance.

This was my last performance of 2018, at a festival, i did a bit of everything using a snake,sword,dagger,cane, veils and fire. I was just beginning to show the pregnant belly.

I like your belly dancing videos, but they aren’t nearly as good as the snake handling videos from our resident snake handling fake Christian on the welch forum.

I especially loved the video where the snake bit her on the head and it swelled up like a pumpkin.

Not her head...but the poor snake.

In a beginners class most have the same fear. Once they begin to learn they lose that fear,at least in class.

 I once taught a social dancing class, most of my students took the class for the reason were tired of being wall flowers at parties etc. Most of them learned to dance well enough they were comfortable dancing at parties or weddings. 
Going on stage is an entire other story.

I's have one problem, when I's make post an come back week later, I's can see what thread someone replied to me, but I's can't find actual reply unless I's scroll through a week of posts?

One of the schools around here was closed on Friday also due to flu. One of my teacher friends teaches kindergarten and she said she had 10 kids out one day and next day, she had 7 and that they were dropping like flies due to the flu. Even the school nurse caught it.

It's apparently pretty nasty stuff. Remember to waah your hands. Don't really know if that helps but it's the thought that counts.

Flu is common in sudden drop in temperature of more than 20 degrees..

I do and use hand sanitizer.  I know the teachers wipe the desks down with clorox wipes or lysol. I don't blame them.

Do hand sanitizers weaken the immune system?

Probably no more than soap and water. The best defense comes from your diet. IMO

And keeping your sneezing on your arm instead of your hand, or coughing on someone.
