Totv
Sometimes I read this forum and think I have entered the Twilight Zone and sometimes it just seems like Groundhog Day.

Just watching people go round and round, over and over again with absolutely no possibility of a consensus.

I haven't participated in a year or so. Does anyone still care whether or not a cyclist stops at a stop sign? [Niagara Falls]

I admit to being rather embarrassed by that 2007 date you see up there in the corner of my posts — and my ridiculous number of posts. I found TOTV a few years before we bought. I had been searching for a site that would give me “the word on the street” regarding TV. I wanted info, anecdotal evidence. This is where I found it. In the old days (says Boomer with a nostalgic, far-away look in her eyes) there was a much smaller number of posters. Tony, who was one of the original owners, kept his eye on the day-to-day operations and saw to it that the place was comfortable and fun. I always thought his career as a newspaper editor was what helped him to have just the right touch. He let us “converse” but he sure could spot a troll or trouble brewing and would “nip it in the bud.” He was “the man behind the curtain.” I had signed on to TOTV for information, got that, and stayed around for the fun. The site sold in 2011 and is something different now. It is a numbers game mostly but there are a few hidden gems to be found along the way. There are a few of those “old” posters here still and I have wondered if others are out there reading here once in a while. I have tried to stop looking in, but now and then, I see a post, (like the first one in this thread) and I have to respond (usually with a dissertation) or I see a question I think I can help with. Or I am just avoiding work I should be doing — like I am now. Most people probably have migrated to Facebook. I am the only person in the world not on Facebook, though some of my friends give me s%#t about that. But I have no need to have thousands of faceless “friends.” I know far too much now about people’s politics, etc. I do not want to know more. I do not need to see a picture of somebody’s dinner, nor do I need to read or pass along some platitudinous, c#@p. But TOTV still pulls me in. I can see what I want and leave the rest. And maybe help somebody out once in a while. And, though rarely, give somebody a little sass. Anyway, I guess I am here for a while. I laugh sometimes because I imagine I hear a stage direction like, “Enter, stage right, (insert name here)” because some of us are characters and I know where a thread will go. Nice to meetcha, fw. And if you are still reading my post — thank you. Sincerely, Boomer (who has “stayed too long at the fair.”) |

You are quoting Snagglepuss not Betty Boop or Popeye. You can't be that old.
