Thread killer

[jerrygarcia]

Ever seem to post in a particular thread and it dies? I feel like a repeat offender.


:cool:

[Dave1983]

Ive had that happen as well. Maybe we should start a support group.:D

[jerrygarcia]

It would be appropriate that this thread will die then.

Maybe instead of posting in some of these threads, I will just come here to post.

This could become the blog thread of nothingness.

:cool:

[Dave1983]

Ok then, from this point forward, this shall be known as...

Jerry's Thread aka The Abyss :D :D

[jerrygarcia]

Well then, welcome to the Abyss!

Discussion is open! If you have nothing to say, say it here.

Hi Gary - have a fig newton . . . ;)

[Weruj1]

hello everyone ..........and welcome ........

[Dave1983]

back my friends to the show that never ends...

[Ltmdepas3280]

Sigh... :( I cried when old yeller was shot...:o And I too have killed a thread..or two...

[Rossco]

I thought it was me. Sometimes the post reply button should read limit discussion.

[WTFD10]

Don't worry...even if you seem to have killed a thread, in a few years Weruj will bump it and stir it up all over again. ;)

[hwoods]

Happens to me too. All too often, I think. And, has anyone else noticed that we're now on page 2, and Weruj1 has not stepped up to the mike with a link to a prior thread on this topic? Sometimes, I'm just underwhelmed at all this. :p :p :p :p :p

[Weruj1]

Harve I was over in the EMS forums doin some dredgin ..........you callin me out man ? ;) :cool: :D

[ROOKIELZ]

Is this where the thread killers meet?
Of course, I probably won't get a response...

Fig newtons; I have always wondered about them. Does the recycling logo on the package refer to the package or the newtons?:rolleyes: :D

[PattyV]

Hi my name is Pat, and i havent killed a thread since 6 minutes ago.

[GeorgeWendtCFI]

I don't worry when I kill a thread. It only means that I was right and that no one has anything else to say.

[dmleblanc]

Hi, my name is Dwayne and I'm an occassional thread killer.....

George, however, is in denial. The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem....:p

[PattyV]

Now if you would just admit you have a problem, we can maybe break this awful habit.

I readily admit that all you guys have a problem.

[PattyV]

touche ;)

[stillPSFB]

I'm surprised that nobody on here has awarded me a certificate for thread killing yet, as I seem to kill more threads than anyone else.

[PattyV]

I find it funny when people bumb up a topic, only to watch it fall down the list again without anyone else writing in it. :D

[skyraider]

BUMP! ;)

[dmleblanc]

This looks like the start of another 10-pager......:cool:

[reeveo]

I offer these 12 simple steps to posting freedom...

The twelve steps for Thread Killas Anonymous are as follows.

1 We admit that we are powerless over threads -- that our posts have become insignificant.
2. We have come to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
3. We have made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of (insert name here) as we understand Him/Her.
4. We have made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
5. We have admitted to (insert name here), to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
6. We are entirely ready to have (insert name here) remove all these defects of character.
7. We humbly asked Him/Her to remove our shortcomings.
8. We have made a list of all posts we have killed, and become willing to make amends for them all.
9. We have made direct amends for such wherever possible, except when to do so would kill a thread or others.
10. We continue to take personal inventory and when we are wrong promptly admit it.
11. We will seek through prayer and meditation to improve our Posts, as we understand them, praying only for the knowledge and the power to carry that out.
12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we shall try to carry this message to thread killas, and to practice these principles in all of our affairs. :rolleyes:

[dmleblanc]

Ironic, isn't it? Here we have a thread about killing threads, posted to by people who kill threads, and I'll bet this thing will go on forever...:rolleyes:

[tanker5117]

I'll bet this thing will go on forever...

Just think a year from now when we all forget this thread weruj will stumble upon it and bring it back from the grasp of death.

Is a thread killer worse than a thread never replied to?

[BFDNJFF]

Is a thread killer worse than a thread never replied to?

Hmm wow i wouldnt want to be that guy ! Talk about feeling useless!

[jerrygarcia]

It seems to me that they should put in a button next to 'New Thread' and 'Post Reply'. It should read 'Nevermind'.

:cool:

[tyler101]

What about an "Ignore Thread" button.

[FlyingKiwi]

I want a button that says, "Stuff the Spelling"

It would...

1. Remove all punctuation
2. Combine all sentences and paragraphs into one blob
3. Use as much TXT abbreviation replacement on words as possible.
4. Misspell as many words names place names as practical.

Then at least some people would understand what it was I wrote.

[tyler101]

So if a button did all that, would it correct your posts to proper english?

[Bones42]

I put myself on my own ignore list. Now if I can get the little voices to go away...

ROFLMFAO!! :D :D :D

[coldfront]

Fruitcake, much maligned, the butt of many jokes and practical jokes - and yet much esteemed by many, and an important part of many folks' holiday tradition and ritual.

It's fruitcake weather! so i am at the national fruitcake preservation institute to partake in the annual fruitcake ritual. as you can see, all the ingredients of a good fruitcake have been assembled.
Fruit cake always tastes better when prepared on a table that is covered with a plastic christmas table cloth on it. non-christian fruitcake aficionados use a festive table cloths related to joyous occasions such a hanukkah, kwanza, winter solstice or the japanese emperors birthday.
This is the most important ingredient - a copy of truman capote's "a christmas memory." omitting this vital ingredient renders the fruitcake inedible. this is the flaw with many commercial fruitcakes. these doomed fruitcakes remain unopened and circle the worldwide postal system never finding a home.No fan fare heralds the start of the ceremony. the ritual begins with the lining of the baking pan. butter secures the wax paper to the special fruitcake pan that has been handed down through the ages.
I have the important task of creaming together the sugar and butter. the goodness of this fruitcake depends on how well i do this. i will live up to this challenge.the careful sifting of the secret dry ingredients reminds me of a gentle winter snow fall,an enchanting snow globe or baby powder on a hot summer day. don't you think so?
Yummy nuts, candied fruit, holiday colored cherries, raisins and cute little currents are all mixed together in another bowl.
I had better taste a walnut to make sure that is tasty enough for this special fruitcake. yep. it is.
Bedecked in the ceremonial floral apron, the fruitcake master whips all the ingredients together with my creamed butter and sugar. What a stirring momentthe melange or fruits and nuts are then gingerly folded into the rich and creamy batter.it is always appropriate to taste the mixture at this point of the ceremony. I take just a little taste being mindful not to drool on the spoon. Accompanied by the humming of a cheerful improvised tune, the batter is poured into the fruitcake pan.
Spreading the batter carefully in the pan assures that the cake will bake evenly and be attractive.
oh! look! this wooden spoon looks like it needs to be licked clean. I am always happy to offer my services to such a task.
Now, the solemn moment comes when the cake is placed in the preheated oven.
A moment of silence is observed then the oven timer is set.
All the ritual implements are now washed, dried and put away for use next year.
The guardian of the fireplace has started a lovely roaring fire and the comfy chair is pulled close to the hearth.
buzzzzz! the fruitcake is cooked! The aroma is over whelming and the lovely golden brown color is so stunning that it brings tears to my eyes.
Using the traditional festive holiday potholder, the hot and friendly cake is placed on a cooling rack.

Then we wait for the cake to cool. this takes forever.... after a while, the fruitcake is removed from the pan and the protective wax paper is peeled off to expose the attractive character of the warm fruitcake.we wait some more for the cake to cool completely. this gives me an opportunity to admire the beautiful cake and ponder its mysteries just as the monks from the abbey of gethsemani do when they make their scrumptious fruit cakes.
a hush falls over the room as the fruitcake is lowered into its new home. How calm and aromatic the fruitcake is during all this attention.
now that the fruitcake is hermetically sealed in the high tech fruitcake vault. We must now wait for it to age to perfection before we open the container to taste it.
the other guests have left, but, i am going to stick around so that i can be the first to greet the fruit cake when it comes out of the tin.

It sucks and I toss the **** away!Now lets cut the Cherry pie.

The thread is stable lets move it up to ICU and monitor the thread for a while.

[ROOKIELZ]

I just heard someone shout "Death to the thread."
Don't know who it was, the elevator door closed just as I turned to look.
The thread is tucked into a bed in I SEE YOU which is why it won't die; it's too curious.
Others will point out that curiosity kills.
Bookies are laying odds at 50/50 for the thread.

[jerrygarcia]

How about a little of a run I had yesterday. Normal(?) day, EMS CEU classes in the A.M. in another district, large Anhydrous Ammonia leak in our second alarm district(of course we were at class). Released from class for coverage.

Now it gets strange. I work in a triple house. Six man Heavy Rescue, 3 man Pumper(there were 4 + 1 probie yesterday) and my Tiller(4 + 1 probie). The truck usually gets around 20 EMS calls/year with the other rigs running EMS first.

We beat the ambulance to the scene. Apartment building that you could smell from the street. Rodents and other nasty insects all over the place and about 95 degrees inside. Crap piled waist high, our patient was in the very back room. 'Bill' was laying on his side on a make-shift bed of blankets and pillows on the floor. No initial complaints.......he had a stoma so I had to start lip reading through his silent distressful crying. No feelings anywhere and paralyzed for some reason.

Pulse - 80
Resp - 28
BP - unknown(damn probie)
PERL
and a very useless ALS crew. They didn't want to touch him or anything in the apt.

At this point the ALS(metro ambulance or MAST) crew was trying to figure out how to extract him from the apt. through all of the crap. As they stood idle, we boarded 'Bill' and moved him to the cot awaiting in the front of the building. The ALS crew was turning to return to the ambulance without touching the patient when I had had enough. I told them to wait a second. I recalled my guys to pick up their equipment for them so that they could have their hands free to actually do their job.

This was a vent for frustration over a very poor ALS unit. There are more parts that I left out or omitted, this was just the high/lowlights.

We're a career department that is BLS only, with the ALS ambulance in private sector funded by the city. Non-profit organization staffed by a for profit company. Things that make you go hmmmm.....

Jerry I work with a couple of KC guys, and they have told their crew that if ever hurt severely to toss them in the cab of the fire truck and take them to the hospital themselves.

They also concede that there are very good(MAST) crews roaming the streets of KC ( and surrounding areas). Trouble is, its a crapshoot on who you get each call.

Be safe !

Theres a good point. If you create a new thread that no one replies to, did you kill that thread?
Is it just like having a baby then drowning it?

Cheffie, i feel so sorry for you, i hate studying sustainable development. I used to be really interested in it before i had to study it.

Some years ago, I was in the hospital and my roommate was an elderly guy, who had some sort of dementia.

I like black forest cake myself. For a deep chocolate fix though, nothing beats one of those upside down chocolate cakes - I have a recipe somewhere at home for it. I'll try and find it and post it later.

I love chocolate and your cake sounds great, any possibility you could make it without the coconut? If so you could have a hard time pulling it away from me. Either way I want a piece.

Does anyone else find the philosophical question 'a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?' extremely stupid?
Of course it would make a sound, it would make vibrations that would most certainly be within the hearable spectrum of humans.

[PattyV]

yes, but where did the dinosaur who laid the egg come from?

Well thats a whole new question isnt it?

The egg still came first.

Lets go back to the chicken and the egg, putting aside the fact that eggs have been around longer.
The egg came first because the parent of the egg was not technically a chicken. If evolution is right that is. (yes i know, bible, etc...) Lets call the species before the chicken a 'nekcihc'. A nekcihc is on the brink of evolving into a chicken, however this certain foul was born a nekcihc. Its kids however are pushed just over the line to become chickens.

I'm one of those that just never caught on to the whole metric thing ... we switched over when I was at just the right age to not have yet learned everything needed about Imperial, so it was really hard to grasp learning the Metric :rolleyes: Basically what I'm saying is I don't have a clear understanding of either HAHAHA!

I'll always be 5 feet f'all. I'll always know my weight in pounds only. Temps in Metric mostly though, unless I have to convert for our Yank friends :D

The only beer we have over here that is truly still a stubbie is VB but we call all bottles around the 375mL mark stubbies now. I suppose its the same as no matter what brand it is you still call 'cling wrap' 'Glad Wrap'.
