Title: staying on topic Post by: RecycleMichael on March 13, 2010, 05:53:55 pm We sure are a bunch of ADD posters on TulsaNow.
I am just as guilty as everyone else, but I notice lately we seem to have gotten worse. Topics about Sarah Palin turn into discussions about local beer and topics about chinese food turn into words about pizza. Pizza talk becomes two people talking about bus services to the suburbs and PlaniTulsa threads all become about streetlights. I admit, sometimes the conversation needs to be changed or ended. But we can't seem to ever stay on topic for more than a couple of thoughts. Just observing...how bout them Packers?

Title: Re: staying on topic Post by: RecycleMichael on March 13, 2010, 09:11:06 pm I don't think there should be any punishment, but we should each at least try to occassionally get back to the topic.
I think of these threads as conversations between a few people that has many other people listening. When we hear from different points of view on an interesting topic, we tend to learn from each other and usually even come up with a few good ideas or solutions. That is the thing I like best about TulsaNow. Take that, you Obama spooners. Title: Re: staying on topic Post by: rwarn17588 on March 14, 2010, 12:11:30 am I had spaghetti for lunch today!!!

Even half decent alterations are usually identifiable by spending 5 seconds looking at the photo and thinking about where the light is coming from. In that case, it's not necessary at all.

That is $.0025 cheaper per PopTart. Title: Re: staying on topic Post by: Red Arrow on March 17, 2010, 09:38:16 pm Pretty clever of Target to build a store 5 miles closer to me (111th & Memorial) than Reasor's so I won't get pulled in by Reasor's sale. I don't eat PopTarts. If I did, I could claim to be doing the environmentally correct thing by buying PopTarts at the closer store, Target. I would actually be spending $.34 more for the PopTarts but saving $.67 in (91 Octane) gas. Living out here in a foreign country has taught us to plan our shopping more carefully than just getting PopTarts.

Should be interesting to see a foot of snow rippling across the surface of the pool. Might make a good picture or video. Especially if you have kids to take picture of jumping or diving in!
