The Shangri-la Clubhouse

In that it appears that the Monster Thread has died a quiet but noble death, I propose that this thread take it's place. Hopefully, it shall contain all that was good about the Monster Thread -- a thread of peace and tranquility, of humor/humour, wit, satire,and silliness. It was an oasis from all the troubling news that is all too real in the world "beyond the horizon". It provided all who came a cool drink of water and a momentary respite.

Personally, the Monster Thread was a place where I could wish you all a peaceful good night, or greet you with a smile and a cup of freshly brewed coffee.

We cannot recreate the Monster Thread, just like it is not possible to recreate the original Woodstock. It is something that just happened, with no overt plan, no rhyme or reason. Yet, in my honest and sincere opinion, it served a valuable purpose for our community. Friendships were made in this thread, and only concerns and worries were lost, albeit momentarily.

Thus, I propose that this thread inherit all the good qualities of the Monster Thread, and, as the Phoenix before it, rise out of the ashes of technological "flames". I would also propose that the Shangri-la clubhouse have no leader (sorry Kosh for your one-term in office postion). Let it be free to wander where it might go, free from the talk of more serious and relevant matters that have their open debates in all the other threads.

RIP Monster Thread. You were of, by and for the people of ehMacLand.

In the words of William Wordsworth

"What though the radiance which was once so bright
Be now for ever taken from my sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;

We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind;
In the primal sympathy
Which having been must ever be."

Afternoon, Margaret. Would you care for a cup of hot tea?

Morning, I have to get my fridge cleaned out - it seems to keep a steady temp of 20°C no matter what setting it's on. The freezer part is working though so I don't know what's wrong with it. It was new when I moved in here, so maybe it was defective from the get-go.

sigh

Take care, Margaret
Sounds like the themostat is pooched...hopefully it's an easy to remove and replace part.

(Or is that the thermocouple? Thermo-something, thermothingy:D

I live in an apartment and they're really good about fridges - they'll wheel a temporary one in here and then probably next week, I'll get a new one. There are some benefits to renting :clap::clap:

I got the fridge all cleaned out/off and once I discarded all the stuff that was past it's due date, there's not much left!!

Take care, Margaret

Whoa!!

Hi Don:

Top 'o the morning to you! Thanks for the bagel. I took the chocolate chip version with a ton of butter. Yumm-cholesterol! Was in your site tonite and loved the little video of the kid and his mom. priceless!

well, to compliment your morning buffet, I've added some omelettes with green onions, spinach, and cheddar. Help yourselves everyone!! I'm going to sleep soon and yes, it is 6:10 a.m.. i'm an insomniac without a cause. Always have been so I'm vampiric with my hours. night is day, day is nite. my dad used to say that to me all the time. So, everyone, keep the coffee perking until i rise again, say noon-ish?

Morning, Don. Thanks for the coffee and bagels. Guess with the temps you are reporting, I shall not complain about the -4C temps and -12C windchill. -33F has been the coldest I have ever experienced, and that was on a Boxing Day afternoon waiting for the light to change on Portage and Main in Winnipeg. Thought I was going to die.

Morning, Warren. Now we may begin our day off right with your greeting. A fine tradition here in The Shang.

Morning, Steve. You also need something to eat to help you study, so sit down and have a bagel or some cereal. Doctor's order.

Good morning Shang!

Thanks for the oatmeal and coffee Don. I'll take it with a bit o'butter and brown sugar.....er, the oatmeal...not the coffee:)

Yes, it's COLD in ALberta today. Brrrrrr...very hard on a recent ex-Texan....this winter seems like eternal damnation to me...My husband's in Houston today...it's going to be 28 degrees there today. WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

I'm ready for Spring. Tomorrow? Pullease?:D

Morning all, would someone turn the heat up please. I can't believe how cold it got, I thought spring was almost here?

About the middle of last week my wife took the kids up to her father's cabin for a couple of days to go ice fishing, sledding, etc. On Saturday she called me to say our daughter (age 5) burned her hand and they were taking her to the nearest hospital (1.5 hours away) and coming home. Luckily it wasn't serious, no 3rd degree burns, but she has two large blistered areas on her palm (one under her thumb and one under her pinky) and a good portion of red on her hand. There is a wood burning stove there we assumed she touched but she insists up and down she didn't. Her story is that she was sitting on the couch when she noticed her hand was really hot and she started crying. All I can think is that she touched the stove and the burn/pain didn't register with her until later.

Good morning everyone! Thanks for the bagels and coffee Don. I pinched some of Vicki's cheese for the omelets and had a yummy cheese bagel.
We are having a cold spell here - but nothing like Alberta, so I'm not complaining. I hope it warms up quickly.
