I hope dualstow is staying safe and is having fun on his travels.


How about you??!!!

I just realized we'd not heard from you for quite a while!

It will be four weeks this Friday.

First Dualstow and now you! Two of the forum's stalwarts...

hey guys

What began as a real but brief trip has turned into an extended break from the forum.
Just checking in to say that I’m still lurking, and often. Granted, it’s mostly to see what town Mark Leavy’s in. O0
Not all exits are dramatic. Nobody pissed me off. On the contrary, I’ve learned so much from so many people here.
Sometimes it just feels good to hang back and see how the forum progresses from a distance.
Might start posting again sometime, might not.
Hope you’re all doing well.

Good to hear from you dualstow. I just assumed that once you started traveling, you never stopped.

I'm stuck on Hawai'i with my gal for a few more weeks. She's still plotting where to try and kill me next month, so I'm just as curious as you are as to the future.

Cheers,
Mark

The 21st day of the 21st week doesn't make sense, but still pretty cool.

Yes. Plus, the cooler date time groupings were 12:12, 12 December 1212, 11:11, 11 November 1111, etc.

I was here for a different reason but it seemed odd to discover that no one had written in this "Daily" topic for nearly four months!

Inquiring minds want to know: I have a question for those who are avid “green new deal” supporters. Do you use both sides of a sheet of toilet paper, or just one? If you don’t practice using both sides yourself, do you advocate it for the masses, or is it more proper to refer asses of the masses? Should AOC push it for the green agenda, or start with a new brown agenda with a new slogan like “tear, wipe, flip, wipe, flush brown down, butt only weekly” (got to save water too).

I know that Costco is completely out of toilet paper and thought maybe the greens could write the CEO who could perhaps use this vital information in an ad campaign, maybe something like “AOC is for brown down - wipe for All On Costco”.

By the way, isn't south a funny looking word? Just look at it. It doesn't look like how it sounds.
