Default When a thread gets stale it's difficult........

One of the only good things, IMHO about the political thread I liked is that every day there was something new to talk about.

When a thread gets stale it's difficult to think of a subject that is interesting, uplifting or informative to get a conversation going. I'll bet there is a whole team of writers who look for subjects on The View.

What if there was a thread that disappeared in 24 hours. The subject is whatever they talk about on The View that day. And yesterdays thread gets deleted right after the show airs so someone can start a new subject. You don't need to watch their show or express their opinions. It's a conversation piece like the 3 word thread or the thread about nothing.

Sure people may say some things in the thread that others think is quite the opposite of where they stand. But it all disappears and the new topic comes up 24 hours later.

Think of this kind of temporary thread I am describing as a Puzzle. When we have an extended family vacation my sybs and their spouses buy a 1,000 piece puzzle and put it on the dining room table. We're on the go all day but they each get involved in the puzzle during down time. At the end of the vacation, it's finished and they leave it behind.

"It's the going, not the getting there, that's good"

I went here The View: Tuesday May 08 2018 Watch Full Episode | 05/08/2018

Teacher Erik Weihenmayer surprises Meghan McCain; Gabrielle Union joins.

I had to look up Erik Weihenmayer.
wiki---"Erik Weihenmayer (born September 23, 1968) is an American athlete, adventurer, author, activist and motivational speaker, and the first blind person to reach the summit of Mount Everest, on May 25, 2001. For this feat, he was honored with a Time Magazine cover story. He also completed the Seven Summits in September"
