<p>early txtng.</p>
<p>I agree with poetgrl.</p>
<p>^poetgrl, your house thread is so entertaining!!!</p>
<p>Good morning everyone, and belated birthday greenies to confetti!! Hope not too many of you are in the path of that monster storm. S2 appears to have a bulls eye on his fair city once again…</p>
<p>tell him to stock up on batteries and food and water.</p>
<p>It seems to me that the storms are getting later in the year these last few years. We get tricked into thinking it’s a mild winter, and then, bam!</p>
<p>Big storm a-brewin!! Stock up on alcohol and poptarts… I mean bread and milk :)</p>
<p>Should anyone care, Hebrew does have vowel points [Introduction</a> to Hebrew Vowels](<a href=“http://www.hebrew4christians.com/Grammar/Unit_Two/Introduction/introduction.html]Introduction”>Introduction to Hebrew Vowels) but in places like the torah, the Hebrew is written without them.</p>
<p>So interesting, the different perceptions of playing the green game. To me, it was a fun diversion, but I also repped a LOT of people that weren’t playing the game, because I either enjoyed their posts or found them insightful.</p>
<p>I signed on tonight after not being on for several days. I noticed the green boxes were gone. I was not into the whole green box “thing”. I do sympathize with those bothered by it. I felt it was a bit too “middle school”, and did feel like there was an in crowd. </p>
<p>But reading the entries of those who participated, it sounds like you guys were just having fun. Did you really include everyone? And I mean by that, did everyone who posted get a green square? Or did you have to be cleaver or funny or deep?</p>
<p>I started a thread a few weeks ago. The thread got positive feedback and I received several PMs supporting the thread. I noticed another green box after this thread started. (it has since died, haha–50 and over moderate diet/exercise thread or maybe it was over 50 moderate diet/exercise). Whatever.</p>
<p>I thought to myself that earning a box felt better than gaming it, which I felt this thread did. </p>
<p>But if you guys had fun and made friends, more power to you.</p>
<p>But I was still distracted by all the green.</p>
<p>morrismm - everyone got squares. Just about everyone who posted got the kind of welcome at the door that middle school students dream of getting at parties… (really? you’re glad <em>I’m</em> here?? :D). </p>
<p>It was also cool getting recognition IRCC (in real CC, as opposed to real life). But it was only a matter of time until everyone who stayed around for awhile had lots of squares – we just sped it up a little and used it to be happy.</p>
<p>It was definitely a distracting time-suck. But so are a lot of other threads. Do I really need to read 42 pages on the audition process for a fine art that my kids don’t participate in? Only if it’s interesting or makes me feel good…</p>
<p>Hi all! I was one who played the game in its somewhat earlier stages. In fact, I started reading the prestigiosity thread because it was so funny, then it all of a sudden changed! So I repped and asked for reps enough to get to 2000, and then stopped. I DID, however, as others have mentioned, rep posts in other threads that I liked as well. In fact, the green box game got me started on doing that. It was as close to a “like” button as we had! </p>
<p>It was fun on other threads noticing peoples’ green box lines grow, because I knew they had been over here! I guess it didn’t feel like middle school to me because no matter who you were, if you came here, you’d get greened. :)</p>
<p>And I too still have a scrap piece of printer paper on the desk in front of me now as I type (no cleaning lady here!) with about 40 usernames on it! :D</p>
<p>Hello, everyone. Hope your recoveries have not been too difficult. </p>
<p>In case you haven’t seen p. 112 of Today’s NYT Style Magazine, it’s worth checking out. States that, according to Pantone, the Color of the Year for 2013 is…Emerald. </p>
<p>We were clearly ahead of the curve.</p>
<p>I never had any doubt of our fashion forwardness.</p>
<p>I miss my fashionable virtual friends.
I actually check my fb more than cc these days.</p>
<p>LOL, I ran across something in passing a few days ago (can’t recall where-- maybe main sign in screen page from my ISP) that said the big “in” fashion color was green. Thought of everyone here :)</p>
<p>Glad to hear we were green before green was cool! :)</p>
