I am starting a new thread that is about other threads. You can talk about other discussions taking a place in Archinect and make cross references to a particular link, picture, response and whatever else you deem necessary or entertaining or thought provoking about the other thread. thus the name: Thread Central
here are some examples of comments that comes to mind:
* hey did you read on --------- thread ------- thinks frank gehry is good. hahahaharhar..
or,
*i can't believe he said that. how stupid of him. asshole.on top of it he is got hundreds of posts. gimme a break.
or,

or,
*****Thread Alert******

or,
* yeaah, i don't read that thread either. its kind a boring.
or,
*i am thinking about starting a discussion about ------------- ---- ---- will you guys in Thread Central post in it and say wow it a great thread?. it was about time 'somebody' (insert my name please) picked up on it.. and discuss it?

No they definitely did not cancel it, I almost ran over about 10 kids last night whilst running. Most of them were too old to be trick or treating too. Which is annoying.

wow, so I can make it through a day without posting to archinect! but it was hard. Had to rest on my laurels for the benchmark ratio of 50/900, so thanks to all those who noticed or cared... (LL)
Last night didn't get as many rugrats as expected, still have a huge bowl full of bubblegum- maybe I'll try for a record... &

I got one trick or treater, he rang the doorbell and he JUST STOOD THERE. I asked him, "Well, whaddya want?"
Kids these days, can't even say "trick or treat".

Well I had fun out with my little owl and our neighbor friend Peter Pan. Then trouble started as they had to race each other to be "first" at each door, and would shove the other out of the way if they felt it was their turn to be first, Boys - I love them so much, but they never stop being boys, do they?
Peter Pan's dad was dressed as a pirate, but his wig made him look a little like Dee Snider. I was dressed as a working-mom-who-doesn't-have-time-to-even-take-off-her-high-heels-before-the-trick-or-treating-starts. Luckily 3yo legs wear out within a couple of blocks.
tk, that tongue is either grossing me out or turning me on and frankly I'm not sure which.

Nov 1, 06 3:44 pm
when looking for bubbles, I passed by that tongue and then had to backtrack to it because it was seared into my head. I feel the same way- either grossed out or turned on. But then we do have the Cod-Piece thread going, so I figure a little tongue wouldn't hurt- we're adults. Right?

The cod piece thread is a wonderful gift to the archinect community and a thread on which I should be much more active.
Also, not to gloat, but I got my new Architecture Sucks tshort ordered, an yone else? I got baby blue, match my eyes and alittle less aggressive than the read, which I really wanted, but I'm still a bit nervous about wearing a shirt that says "sucks" on it so big.
liberty bell
Nov 1, 06 4:35 pm
Dammit, I always seem to type "Tshort" instead of "Tshirt" - like I'm gonna wear something that says "arch sucks" around my mid-section like a pair of shorts!
Also, that should say the red one was actually my first choice.

I baked a pan of 12 oatmeal muffins this morning, from a mix. but you add 1 beaten egg and 1 c. water to 3 1/4 cups of mix. I baked them in paper cups in a muffin pan for 19-22 mins at 425. nothing cd be easier!
liberty bell
Nov 2, 06 1:03 pm
farmer, I'm guessing muffin baking for you typically means starting from scratch, including, perhaps, getting the flour directly from a local mill?
As a working mom, Trader Joe's is practically my entire pantry. That said, I always upgrade with fresh/other ingredients. So their banana bread mix gets made with the addition of a real banana, white chocolate chips, and dried cherries. Delish.
treekiller
Nov 2, 06 1:13 pm
LB- what did you do before trader joes entered the midwest???? we can thank the german grocery giant, aldi, for the priveledge of being able to enjoy the california shopping experience...
so does you local tj carry wine, beer, or liquor?
I enjoy making messes by baking from scratch - scattering a dusting of flour, baking soda, yeast and other powders over the countertop is the highlight of my weekend... pouring a mix out of an overpriced box is too much of a spoil to my fun. thinking bout making soup this afternoon- let's see what leftovers are in the fridge.
enjoy being a muffin.
liberty bell
Nov 2, 06 1:20 pm
TJ's entered the world of Philadelphia at almost exactly the same time as my son did - so I was never a working mom w/o Trader Joes.
I also *usually* bake from scratch, except breads. Post Thanksgiving I'll spend a week solid making dozens of Christmas cookies for my gifts to family, neighbors, etc. I look forward to the disaster the kitchen for that one week will be all year!

Going to go complain about "Architect" some more.

Don't worry, but thanks for your concern.
it's been, hmmm, almost 2 months of full time posting to architect- I should add that to my resume, just in case I'm asked what I was doing between jobs... went from #450 to #950+ pretty niffty. ~30 posts/day isn't to shabby.

I have been working on an organic food store and deli called Fiddle Heads. It has everyone excited in the community. Then there is the other project. Taking apart an 1800's Barn which was the Local Black Smiths Shop and adding another dismantled 1800's Barn with a few modern touches, like a new wood stove on the lower level which is all dry laid field stone, cause the barn is set into the hillside. The owners will be selling organic foods and locally produced crafts durning three seasons of the year. The grand opening is just a teaser so everyone will come back in the Spring to The Smithys!

i just got my ticket to go to izmir. leaving thanksgiving day for three weeks.
la to dc to franfurt to istanbul to izmir to istanbul to munich to chicago to la. all airports except izmir and la.
maybe i'll catch up with homer of symirna and find out what really happened in troy and ask him if brad pitt was a good achilli. in my childhood events like that happened to me, like artemis coming out of wood work and asking me suck vine from one of her many breasts. experiences like that might happen to you on those shores of aegean sea.
oh, pope benedict is also will be paying a visit to izmir while i am there. if his holliness passes by front of our dense urban apartment, i'd be sure to snap a picture and say amen for all you guys.
who knows, if the gods decide to talk to me and if my childhood friends have new tales to tell me about the city, there will be a mini feature in archinect about this 4000 y.o city.
my favorite pass time to go to coastal beach towns and fisherman's villages during winter when 80% of everything is boarded up and the sounds of the sea is the most relaxing medicine. ie; the town of ayvalik below.

Fantastic, Orhan. Glad you are getting home. I also love resort towns in the off season, the beach in cold weather is wonderfully bare.
I fear that I am becoming repetitive: I have used the phrase "That said, ..." at least three times on Archinect today. That said, I intend to use it again tomorrow too. Goodnight all.
