Topic 71 of 82: Why do you keep coming back?

Wed, Jul 29, 1998 (17:40) | wer (KitchenManager)
What makes us return? Is it for information, entertainment, and/or
socialization/comraderie? Or somethings else? And, if you come back
for more than one reason, rank each reason by percentage, please...
In order to help this place, and specifically my conferences, grow
I would love to know why everyone keeps coming back so I can provide
more "services" in that direction.

I miss you a *lot*!

And I'm missig Riette, since she went on her trip.

I notice the main screen lists the number of logins but it says "web hits" instead. I wonder if we can change that, I wonder who wrote cool piece of Yapp code. Wer? Kaylene?

Or maybe I just never noticed it before.

I did it...the variable in the instructions is defined as a
"read only web variable"...so I figured it just counted web hits...
and it does increment that way at least some of the time...I was
the only one on at a certain time yesterday, and it did in fact
count my page hits...will re-word it later...

Cool. Yeah, I'm glad you discovered it and it would be great if you could re-word it to say "logins"! ... if that in fact is what it counts.

I'm really glad someone else is learning the system and getting a fresh mind on things!

I keep coming back hoping we'll grow as a community, I love it when new
folks show up. Rollerblade postering service is plastering all the
bulletin boards in town with Spring flyers. If you see one, give me some
feedback on how to make them better, they're reprints of the Spring main
page.

I don't love being away, but I love coming back without it occurring to me for a moment that anyone will have noticed, and then finding that they did. It is peculiar, but lovely.

I go back to my 'real job' tomorrow but it has been kinda fun to have such regular access to a working computer. And I can just keep a telnet link open all the time. When I'm printing, or downloading, or slacking off, I can just stop in!

Wandered by the art conference yesterday (through a browser so I could see all the groovy pics!) and it looks REALLY great! I love the new wallpaper (guess it's not so new anymore but it sure was something I hadn't seen before!)

Wolf, I have always been a firm believer that one can't do much about the way one is put together. I am just the same. Although I never put on weight (I am not small sized though, more sort of medium), excercise changes NOTHING about the way I am put together. I don't acquire more shapely legs - they always just look the way they look, and that's that. I even see it with my girls. Isa, the eldest is probably one of the most active children you'll ever see - constantly jumping and running and climbing;
yet her legs already look just the same as mine! The little one sits around all day, sipping on a milk bottle and pestering me to carry her, yet she has these incredibly sporty little legs, and when they run (lazy as she is!)m Isa (with over a year's age advantage, plus ALOT fitter) has BIG trouble keeping up with the little bugger. Unfair, hey?
I say, stop giving yourself a hard time. Keep fit by doing things you enjoy - whether that be working out in the gym, or going for long walks or whatever - don't suffer unneccessarily.

tis true....my kids are different too. my son is tall and lanky, really long-limbed, small boned, much too fair for a boy and my daughter is stocky, tough
little girl, small boned but more athletic in build....and yes, i see my husband
and me in both of them. we can pick out the feet, hands, ears, noses, etc. etc.

Apart from Isa's legs, my kids have absolutely NOTHING of me in their looks. Isa looks just like her dad, and Elza looks kind of Swedish with her white hair and blue eyes (Chris has very dark hair!). I once had tea with a Swedish guy in Namibia - about nine months before she was born!!! - and now I keep thinking: perhaps getting pregnant is easier than one thinks!!!

i much rather take tea....tried cappucinno and, though it smelled good, tasted
much differently. why is it that coffee smells better than it tastes?

That's just what I say! I just find it awfully bitter, even though I love the smell of coffee. Whereas I've not yet found a tea that doesn't taste better than it smells! My favourite is South African Rooibos.

I keep coming back because I'm infatuated with the "last 50" feature. I use it all the time now. Being able to see all these lets you see what the login patterns are, like Riette logging in at night, etc. and you can quickly find what interests you the most. I had to put it on the main page.

I'd like to see a last 100, a last 500 page also. That would be awesome! Or maybe a page where you could specify the number of last responses to see. Theoretically you could even call up all the responses for the last month, or year, or since the beginning of the Spring. In descending order!

You're talking coffee? Kona, Arabicas... The little demitasse I had at Lil' Italy was a great capoff to a great meal. That brione . . . hey, I'll finish this in the restaurant conference in the Italian restaurant topic.

You can buy it at any gourmet-style coffee place. It's VERY expensive (because those mules have to schlepp it down mountains with 20,000 foot altitude), so look for the little sample packages that only makes a couple pots.

Sonja here:

I arrived on Tuesday morning. I wanted to come on earlier, but we had alot of catching up to do. Travelling only consists of day trips this time, I'm afraid - she has too much work.

She created a topic about me??? I dread to discover the contents!! I let her out of my sight for a year, and she just goes wild - I don't know!

I'm baaaccckk...

Hi fellow Bronte fans -- it's me, Amy, your hostess, returned after
many months of being away. Truth to tell, I couldn't find this Board
until Mick kindly gave me the new URL. I think part of the confusion
was that I had changed my e-mail address. So please check in & let
me know you're still there! I hope we can continue your excellent
discussions on the Bronte's lives & works.

Hi Amy, - Nice to see something stirring on this conference once
again: when I re-discovered it, at its new URL, it was looking like a
long-deserted ghost town! Now all we need is everybody else . . .


Now, he's back. I hope Amy does a mail to the bronte ulist (list of folks
who've visited the Bronte Sisters Conference with their emails, available
to every host).
