FFF

Yeah, I mean...most nights I don't really have much to add to the conversation, because I don't really watch any TV.  And I was sure my talking about my class and stress and stuff was boring after awhile.  One can only pretend to be interested in that for so long.  I was boring even myself.

<div>See, I never think it's weird when people jump in and throw something new out there in a chat thread. I think it's strange people get flamed for that. </div><div>
</div><div>Actually, I think it's weird when people come to the thread 10 pages in and start addressing topics that ended by page 2, ya know?</div>

I'm on the fence about Pete and Repeat but this definitely is not appropriate.  Unless you want your kid to grow up with self-esteem issues. And if that is the case, you probably should rethink your parenting strategy.

It isn't that they don't matter, I just don't think its necessary in order to jump in when the chit chat has a natural ebb and flow of different topics.

Posted by musicalsunlight[/QUOTE]

I get what you're saying. I usually read the last page of the thread and jump in. I certainly don't read 800 pages of chat before joining in.

willywally5

I always feel the need to catch up and acknowledge things in the chatty threads. Maybe I'm just a weirdo. 

We are going to Fargo in bit and I'm dinking around on the computer. H is gonna be not happy with me. Oh well. 

Habs2Hart

I go away for one client and we move up like 6 pages.  WTF.  Talking about Toms. 




















Toms are super Fug.  That is all.

This is how I roll too. Usually just to make sure I don't jump in with something inane in the middle of a conversation about, say, a family member's illness.

musicalsunlight

Yeah I am like you Erin, and Daff. But if the thread is already 500 pages long of chatter? no, I don't feel that it is necessary to read all of it first.

I like evening threads because during the week I often feel isolated because I live so far from any of my family and friends and because J is gone during the week. So having people to chat with is enjoyable. Even if it is about "menial" things like tv shows.

LDYGTR13

I dont consider "catching up" reading an enormous thread. I consider it maybe going back to where the topic currently being discussed started. 2 pages, probably?

[Deleted User]

Yeah the kid already has issues. I feel for both of them (both the kids, the girl is older, about 13 or so). I try to be the cool big sister and do the oposite of what the parents do.

I read the last page of chat threads too, or the last couple just to get the gist of things. Half the time I have nothing new to contribute anyway so I just piggyback off of those posts.

ahhhitsshannyn

I feel like I don't know anyone in evening threads. It's like a completely different culture at night. I miss the drunk girls.

I am never in night threads.  I don't even think I would know anyone in them.

If I'm in a night thread, chances are I'm drunk.

musicalsunlight

I enjoyed the old night thread culture too but I guess I'm fine with adjusting. And really the people in the night threads aren't super newbs or anything either. But I guess I'm one of those people that doesn't mind talking to new people.

Lizzieyounce

I like the night threads becaue I have more time to participate since FI works evening shift and the kids are off doing their thing.

Who were/are the drunk girls?

heb557

The evening is the only time I get to post. In the morning I get up way too early to start a thread and I don't post while at work.  When I do read a morning/afternoon/wtf thread it doesn't have any more or less content then an evening thread IMO.

musicalsunlight

Its not like these random posters come out of the woodwork JUST at night. There are like 5 on this page that frequent them.

GloriosusEtLiber

Shan, since I'm sure you're dying to know, I nicknamed Flirty Boy when I was under my old SN because the SN was my real name and his initials would have made him easy to track down through my facebook.

<div>Me too! I miss being around people now that I'm retired and silly as it sounds. I actually like some of you goofs. I skim the thread to catch the big stuff and try to acknowledge the things going on with the poeple I like. Some, I give nonefucks about, so I just don't say anytihing.</div>

angelstar975

I feel like most of the people who currently post in the evening threads are also people who post at some point during the day, so I don't think there would be too many unknown people. I haven't participated in more than the beginning or the end of the evening thread for a little while though, so I'm not positive.

LDYGTR13

Wally, I get a weird opposites vibe from you - sometimes you're all motherly and stuff and now you said nonefucks and tresses.
