If you see any thread with no replies do you sometimes reply just so the OP

[Maraya1969]

doesn't feel bad that no one replied?

I do. And I bet someone has done it for me and so thank you.

I think it is a nice thing to remember. Some people are more sensitive than others and I have read some people stating that the never get replies.

1. My dear Maraya1969...

I do, sometimes...

Especially if I know the person...

I know how bad I feel if it takes a long time for anyone to reply to my threads!

:pals:

[Maraya1969]

3. Thanks Peggy. It's nice to see someone reply so quickly to my thread!

:hug:

[qnr]

2. All the time. Except for song lyric threads.... I never quite know how

to respond to those.

[Maraya1969]

4. Me too. All I can ever think of is: "Build me up buttercup" by Bobby Sherman

:shrug:

[qnr]

6. Nice. I didn't know Bobby Sherman had a version, I always think

of The Foundations when I hear that. Whenever I think of Bobby Sherman, I think of the song Seattle, from the TV show Here Come The Brides

[Suich]

10. Oh no!

You mean "the bluest skies you'll ever see" nonsense? I never understood that song because everyone knows it rains here all the time!

Thanks for the ear worm...:hi:

[qnr]

11. My pleasure! And I know what you mean, having been homeported in Seattle for years

:hi: ... I know just how you feel, it took me 8 or 9 days to get rid of the earworm after watching Underdog

[Suich]

15. You went from Seattle to CC? That's quite a change.

Haven't watched "Underdog" but I'm somewhat of an expert on earworms:

MacArthur Park

Afternoon Delight

Enjoy!

:evilgrin:

[qnr]

16. heheh, that's nothing really, I'm always moving - there were about

15 cities between those two.

I like Donna Summer, but I've always preferred the Richard Harris version of MacArthur Park. Then I start to get an earworm, but my thoughts turn to Professor Dumbledore and I get distracted.

Afternoon Delight doesn't really stick with me for that long.

I tend to get stuck with ones like

Reflections Of My Life
Atlantis
In The Year 2525
Brandy

It's strange actually. Even though I like many genres of music, and listen to music from many decades, those above are the type that I get earworms over.

7. why not like this?

:headbang:

or this

:yourock:

[qnr]

8. Well, I'm not much of a smiley person for one thing, aside from the

occasional :hi: or :)

[hfojvt]

19. smileys are the only things that keep me alive

:hide:

[hfojvt]

5. boy, that would be nice

Violet: Charlie Brown, I feel bad for not giving you a Valentine, so here is a used one you can have.

Schroeder: How dare you!! A used Valentine. You don't care about Charlie Brown, you just don't wanna feel bad about yourself. Well, let me tell you, Charlie Brown doesn't need your pity. Charl ---

Charlie Brown: Don't interfere Schroeder. I'll take it!

9. Way too many options for this hour of the night.. But I've bookmarked

it for perusal tom... um - later today.

[hfojvt]

17. I thought somebody would be interested in those

or be knowledgeable about them.

[qnr]

18. To be honest, I'm only familiar with 5 of the groups (well 6 but 2 are listed together) - I'll

rectify that situation later.

[Suich]

12. Sorry you didn't get any responses, hfojvt

The 1st president I voted for was JFK. Someone decided that for the 2008 election, the earlier the campaign started, the better. I disagree. The election is 14 months away and a lot of things can happen in that time. I haven't decided yet who I'm going to vote for, so I don't usually weigh in on political threads. Please don't let the lack of responses discourage you...ok?

:)

[grace0418]

13. Yes, I try to because I know how much it sucks when you think you've come up

with an interesting topic of discussion and everyone ignores it. But some stupid thread about absolutely nothing gets a zillion replies.

[qnr]

14. So true. n/t

[The Straight Story]

20. I try to reply to all that I can

Just depends on what I am doing - but YES I do try to give a kick to someone with no replies as I think it is the polite thing to do.

[FreedRadical]

21. It's even worse when you have low post #'s.

Then it's like being the uncool kid in high school.

You are not in the IN crowd, so no one even sees you.

[The Straight Story]

22. I can grok that, been there myself

I try to kick as I can and reply, just depends on when I am online, what I am doing at the time, etc.

[raccoon]

23. Yes. nt

[MissMillie]

24. yes, if I can think of something to say

I don't often have trouble of thinking of something to say.

[triguy46]

25. People are supposed to reply to your threads? I view it as a diary...

just my thoughts put online for my perusal. I post about 10 for every one that gets a response.

[Blue-Jay]

26. Not if that person has already posted 20 threads in the past hour.
