View Full Version : 1000 Posts before the New Year
PhoenixAcres 10-25-2017, 07:24 PM I was going to start this in November but figured may as well start it now. We did this last year and it was fun but maybe this year will be better. Think of this as a chat thread to close out the year and see how close we can get to 1000 posts.
So... how are you enjoying Fall? This is my favorite time of year.
Svenfan1234 10-25-2017, 07:34 PM I love the cool, crisp days.:D
PhoenixAcres 10-25-2017, 07:39 PM Yeah me too. Especially where I live because during the summer the heat is unbearable.
MISST3 11-30-2017, 04:03 PM 25 Days Until Christmas!
Dude111 12-01-2017, 05:06 AM I dont think we'll make it!!
MISST3 12-01-2017, 10:24 AM We can try!
Foggy 12-01-2017, 11:33 AM There will be something special in everyone's stocking if we get to....say 100 :) :santa2: :cc:
MISST3 12-01-2017, 08:14 PM You're on! Help us Foggy!
Foggy 12-02-2017, 12:48 PM If everyone that has viewed this thread would have posted....something or anything..... we would already be over 100 and 2/3's the way to 200! :)
But...... ?
PhoenixAcres 12-02-2017, 01:15 PM We can do it! We need to get more people involved though.
So is anyone watching the Carol Burnett retrospective tomorrow?
MISST3 12-02-2017, 06:55 PM What channel? Time?
PhoenixAcres 12-02-2017, 07:37 PM CBS at 8 PM ET
MISST3 12-02-2017, 08:36 PM Great! I will make sure to tape it! Anyone finished with their Christmas
shopping?
Dude111 12-03-2017, 04:07 PM If everyone that has viewed this thread would have posted....something or anything..... we would already be over 100 and 2/3's the way to 200! :)
Excellent!!
MISST3 12-03-2017, 04:50 PM I'm down to only 3 more Christmas presents to buy. I imagine most of you are probably already finished!
Foggy 12-07-2017, 07:50 AM I wonder if we can get 1000 views by 1-1-2018? :lol:
Foggy 12-07-2017, 08:11 AM I'm down to only 3 more Christmas presents to buy. I imagine most of you are probably already finished!
My wife and I don't buy too many gifts anymore....usually just for the Grandkids-the ones we see (18 of them-this year out 20 something-the rest we don't see)....For the family we provide Christmas Breakfast (expecting 30) and Christmas Lunch/Dinner (expecting 40). This can get real expensive, but it's worth it.
Foggy 12-07-2017, 09:00 AM Between now and Christmas, I have 12 different types of cookies and 3 different types of fudge (usually between 3-4 dozen of each) that we will be giving away.
We will try to take 25 dozen to Ronald McDonald House and another 25 dozen to our local TV/Radio Station.
Starting around Dec. 14 or 15 we will be delivering Flowers for a local Florist that we have done for 27 years.
Yes December/Christmas is a very busy time for us---but I won't change a thing--for now.
Here is list of the cookies
Stocking
Candy Cane
Sour Cream Twists
Thumbprints
Mint Trees (press cookies)
Mint Wreaths (press cookies)
Peanut Butter Blossoms (with kisses)
Chocolate Peanut Butter Blossoms (with hugs)
Peppermint Blossoms (with candy cane kisses)
Chocolate fudge
Mint chocolate fudge
Peppermint fudge
Buckeyes
Peppermint bark
maybe: snickerdoodles
and something new: Corn Flake Wreathes
So far have Mint trees, Mint Wreathes, Stocking and Candy Canes done.
So I guess I better get busy :) It's not as hard as it sounds.
MISST3 12-07-2017, 04:06 PM Good for you Foggy! You sound very busy! I bake, but not like that anymore!
I'm going to be baking cookies, this weekend! Peanut Butter, Choc. Chip, Sugar, and SnowBall cookies! Maybe, a few Candy Cane cookies.
PhoenixAcres 12-17-2017, 09:25 PM The year's coming to an end!!! People need to come over and join in! :happyface
Is everyone on vacation now? (from school, etc.) What are some of your plans?
Foggy 12-19-2017, 08:34 AM I don't think we will make it?
We got a lot more views than posts
(about 18 times more views than posts at this time-356 to 20)
Foggy 12-26-2017, 07:08 PM At this writing- 33 more views, (389 views to 20 posts) but no postings---- come on people,,,, your not trying! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
TSK TSK TSK
We will never make it---GULLIVER :eek:
PhoenixAcres 12-26-2017, 10:43 PM I guess this isn't working. :(
Maybe I should have put this thread in the main Chit Chat.
Foggy 12-27-2017, 10:54 AM Last year (or was it 2 or 3 years ago) we did have it on the main chit-chat board, If I remember right we did break 100 posts and many even a 1000 views. But for some reason nobody seems to want to post on the thread---so don't feel bad :(
We still almost have 20 times more views than posts on this thread! :)
Torgo 12-28-2017, 12:08 PM I'll add a post to help.
Torgo 12-28-2017, 12:08 PM And another.

bmasters9 12-28-2017, 02:59 PM One thing I'm not looking forward to: Clemson's College Football Playoff semifinal game against Alabama-- 9 P.M. (at what time I'll probably be in bed; I'm not staying up till all hours of the night to possibly see Clemson lose).
Foggy 12-28-2017, 06:02 PM Who says Clemson is going to lose?
Foggy 12-28-2017, 06:08 PM WOW!

Foggy 12-29-2017, 02:45 PM Who knows, if more people show up it could turn into a real swinging
party: :cheers:
bmasters9 12-29-2017, 02:47 PM Who says Clemson is going to lose?
Good point! That's why I said "possibly": because I hope they win.
Foggy 12-29-2017, 03:03 PM Anything is possible at a Bowl Game (shaking my head up and down) :D
Foggy 12-29-2017, 03:14 PM As of this writing: There is only 57 hours and 47 minutes left of this year. :eek:

Foggy 12-30-2017, 09:44 AM About 45% of all posts in this thread is what Daffy Duck would say:
MINE MINE MINE!!!! :lol: :lol:
Foggy 12-30-2017, 09:47 AM I wonder if I can get to 50%?

Nothing much for now, except watching the marathons on TV. :wave: How about you?
I’m done with watching this boring movie called The Boss Baby with my mom. It’s just not even funny at all.

Is it an animated film? I may have heard of it.

Multitasking! LOL I'm just browsing around online on another forum, listening to some music and letting a marathon of Love and Hip Hop on VH-1 play in the background. Fun times! LOL:lol:

Foggy 12-31-2017, 03:14 PM With only 9 hours and 46 minutes left (at this writing)
I beginning to wonder if we will at least make the 1000 views?
PhoenixAcres 12-31-2017, 07:37 PM Ah well, I guess we won't make it this year. Maybe 100 like last year? At that rate it'll take 10 years to reach 1000 posts. :lol:
