Title: You Have a Great Site!
Post by: kdfrawg on June 13, 2007, 01:06:06 PM
I was doing research for my Kansas Website this morning when I came across your community site. I have rarely seen such an active and enlightening community site in the entire state of Kansas. I can't tell you how happy it makes me to see your site flourishing.

I joined just so I could tell you all that. I have placed a link to your site on the draft Howard page on my site. It occurrs to me that you may not necessarily want that. The page is at:

http://www.genuinekansas.com/gk/city_howard_kansas.htm

If you would like me to remove the link to your site, please contact me at kdfrawg AT genuinekansas.com.

Again, I love your site and forum and wish you every success in the world.

Thank you so much.  We really like our site and it has almost become addicting.  I do not have a problem with you making us a link on your site.  I don't know what the owners will say, but I think they will say yes.

By putting us as a link on your site we will have more people looking at us and joining us, so my vote is yes, do it.

I agree - link away. As for the the double posts, our terrific owners will take care of that.  ;)

But, Janet - why post under "great" instead of "wonderful" ?   ???

And, kdfrawg, you have a pretty good site yourself. I took a look at it - and had some fun reading. Well done!

So, Teresa, if you want us to vote on whether or not to keep the link - I vote yes!  :)

Thank you, kdfrawg.  If you have been reading this site, you know who to thank for it.  Kjell and Teresa keep us in line, but I for one really enjoy the fun.  Besides it is informational.  And welcome as a new member, altho I will also start a welcome thread for you if no one beats me to it.

Awesome..and thanks for adding the link. I appreciate it.
The more the merrier, I always say.
Maybe someone that lives in a big city will join us and be able to grab a taste of small town living through us.

And who knows, we all might make some new friends..
( And some of us.. like Ta Ta.. really need it.

I want everyone to know that I did not give that smiley face a black eye just because of what Ms. T said.  I want her to know that I have friends.  Her, as a matter of fact.  ha ha

Oh, oh - be very nice to Janet. She starts work next week and we do NOT want her to make new friends there.  :laugh:

Well, maybe, some new friends, but only from the right side of the bars.  :D   :D   :D

Thank you all for being so hospitable. That is just an example of what I mean about this site and its members. And heck, Teresa, it seems to me like all of you are doing pretty much everything right. This is just an outstanding example of what forum software is supposed to be all about.

I have to admit to a lot of the big city part, though. I was born in Omaha, but spent most of my life in the San Francisco Bay area, as close to the ocean as I could get. I'll have to admit, though,  that the best place I lived there was a town called Moss Beach, which at the time had 229 residents, despite being just 20 miles from downtown San Francisco.

Finally, though, the raw quantity of people around me start to weigh heavily. I finally started working my way back to the Midwest about 1990, via Las Vegas and Austin, ending up in Lenexa in Johnson County. I discovered fairly quickly that I was not a Johnson County kind of guy, and have been living happily in Lawrence since 1999.

Well, Teresa, all I can say is that you're right! I can certainly see the logic behind that.

So I did as I was told, even before I saw this, and wrote up a post for the Roll Call Thread. It is there now, in all of its radiant glory. Well that's going a little too far, I just got carried away.

Well, I don't know about everyone else, but after reading your posts, I can tell that you just BELONG here.  HA!  Glad to have you around, and do keep on posting!

In truth, I feel pretty much at home here. Although, to be honest, I feel a little bit like a party crasher.
Title: Re: You Have a Great Site!
Post by: Teresa on June 14, 2007, 10:27:31 PM

(http://www.cascity.com/howard/animations/baahum.gif)   Nonsense!
There is no such thing as a party crasher in this place.
The door is unlocked and open to anyone 24 hours a day.

And I feel like you have been here forever and are already an old friend..
I mean.. the way you have written those loooong posts and gone on and on and on..
** ::) rolling my eyes  ::) ***
Ohhh yeah~~ you fit right in with all the rest of us wind bags...

LOL! I guess the reason I call myself a writer is that I write. You'll notice that I don't call myself a stopper. That's because I don't know when to stop.

ROFL!

Yep.  Ms. T.  She named it right.  A bunch of wind bags.  Some of us young.  Some of us old.  Some of us that just say what we mean and everything else be damned.  ha ha

Saying what you mean makes life so much easier for everybody anyway, Janet. That way nobody has to guess and probably guess wrong. People that hide their feelings behind polite smiles while they finger their daggers may be fashionably inscrutible, but they're also a pain in the patoot!

That is so funny, kdfrawg, because everyone that knows me knows that I usually will say, right up front, what I think.  I am so notorious for this that after I have my say, my friends will look at me and say, "Tell us what you really think" or "Whatever you do, don't hold back your feelings"  My friends are so funny.  ha ha

I have a feeling, Janet, that we are going to get along just fine.

;D

ps - I'm not really following you around. I'm just waiting for my Web host to do their job and that gives me time to post. Just now, you and I are the only ones typing away, so I'm answering those that apply to me. If I was following you, I'd be trying to figure out a way to get some of that pie.
