Don't you miss the good old days on TOTV when all the threads were dog poop, roundabouts and seat saving in the squares???:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!!!

[RICH1]

I've been up in Swannanoa , NC doing what I can for these people. It remains complete devastation. I have never in my life, witnessed the power of human beings come together for one another..Church groups and Charitable organizations continue to bring supplies to the Drop off Locations. It has been an outpouring of love and compassion for these folks.. I've cried many of nights, since Sept. 27, 2024.
What I wouldn't give to have a cocktail while sitting on my lanai, grateful to have a home. God Bless you all and Merry Christmas to Everyone

[Stu from NYC]

Wish people could find new stuff to complain about.

Now complain about the complainers

[HellToupee]

I wish I could find decent Chinese food. The bottom of the barrel from un north in MA is much superior to anything around here. And don’t get me started about the lack of steak tips or a North Shore beef. But we love it here. Feel lucky to live such an enjoyable life

Merry Christmas

[CarlR33]

Gas vs. Electric and range anxiety? Merry X-mas and hopefully the newbies find the search button before asking it again like it’s never been asked before, LOL

I prefer cooking on a gas range, unfortunately, I’m stuck with electric because gas is not available at our home. Dam the range anxiety. Oh well, merry Christmas: )

I agree and I’m also from MA. If you are a fan of Kelly’s Roast Beef like me they have opened a couple of franchises in Florida which I have travelled to and they are just like home. St. Pete area

I gotta say, there have been some new complaints this year.
Not many dog poop, parking or golf car speeding posts in 2024. A Festivus Miracle.

Actually, you're not stuck. Give yourself a Christmas give of an induction cooktop or range. Works almost identically to gas. Merry Christmas

How about posters write in complete sentences so their ideas are communicated clearly.
Check your spelling before hitting that enter button to comment.
Stop with the acronyms. Not everyone knows what every letter combination means.
Shorten your responses and get to the point a little faster.
Some of the humor presented is childish and unnecessary. Grow up.
And what's with the responder who just puts these symbols for a comment: //// What do they even mean?
And yes, I don't normally comment on this forum as show by my number of posts, but I thought it was about time to say something.

My pet peeve is when a comment is written then another comment starts without a period being entered and a new sentence indicated by a Capital letter it becomes just one long string of unrelated BS as if some people slept through all the English classes in grade school and high school and then they change subjects to something like the sex lives of butterflies without a period or a starting sentence capital letter when I see that I know that the content will be very weak so I just roll by it just like you should have done with THIS.

LOL, says the guy with 8 posts over 4 years.
IDKWAYTA (I don't know what acronyms you're talking about).
/// is what one posts when one deletes a post because the system won't let you delete a post and three characters are the minimum sized post permitted by the system.
I love humor, don't intend to cease operations for the one guy who posts every 6 months. Okay, did I get to the point fast enough?

And mine is when somebody posts exactly the same thing that was already posted 17 times because they are either too lazy to read the thread or think that whatever they spout out is so clever that it must be an original idea.

Get an induction range. Great temp control and will brings water to a boil faster than anything else except for, maybe, a commercial range, surface does not get hot and no problem associated with the explosive nature of gas and you now have a good excuse to buy new pots and pans. They need to have steel in them

God Bless the work that you and others are doing to help. A couple days ago I watched a YouTube video of a man who lives in Virginia who has been going every weekend to help these folks. He said he has a Go Fund Me page for them and people have donated (as of Christmas Eve) over 800K. He purchased RV's with the money for 25 families. He's looking for more RV's.

You mean like you just wrote. Very funny, no periods will get ex teachers rallied up. But we all need cause to control others with our opinions.

Then again some have comprehension problems and can’t figure out simple b—-s.

Thanks, I thought the same thing. Also, some of us are quant jockeys that can crunch numbers with the best of them, but could care less about grammar. And we might be old, but still dread the day we actually grow up : )

One person's ORIGINAL idea might be another person's non-ORIGINAL idea. Like they say, "different strokes for different folks". And anyway, the point of a FORUM is DIFFERENT opinions. VIVA la differencia !

Buy electric golf carts! Even though I don't own a golf cart, I am insistent that everyone else buy one so I don't have to smell your gas cart exhaust.

Like that?
