Re: Where Have All The Loyal Chordians Gone ?

I manage to get on here everyday to at least read what you fine folks have to offer in the way of musical expertise and entertainment, but I don't usually post unless I have something to offer and most days I don't feel I have; choosing to just enjoy the reading.  In my case, being retired, I have to sneek in my time on here around my guitar playing, golfing, fishing, motorcycle riding, yardwork, chasing grandkids and watching high school sports.  I know, I know, life is tough, but I just can't understand how I used to get everything done before I retired to such a hectic paced life.  Still, I am not sure I could go for very long without some input from you folks; as I have become a little addicted to Pete's look back at the Oldies, Old Dolls pearls of wisdom, Amy's songs and stories and the solid advice offered up by Roger, Toots, Doug, Pix, Russell and the insights of Zurf, Cam and others.  Can't leave out the writings and/or songs of Wayne, Jason, Phil and DaddyCool.   It is starting to feel a little bit like family at times; maybe a disfunctional one, but still a family.  And families must check up on each other every now and then, so let's all get busy.

Find a Path or Make One    This is a motto I have been following my entire life and one I am currently using with my music.

Re: Where Have All The Loyal Chordians Gone ?

Hi all

Being quite a new member I have been going through a lot of older posts to see what was happening around here back when.  One of the things I have noticed is that there a lot less posts nowadays concerning problems and I hate to say this but the moderators seem to be doing a great job keeping things in order.  Another thing I have picked up on is that while some posts don'r attract a lot of comment ALL of them get plenty of attention judging by the amount of views each topic gets.  I assume everybody is interested enough to read what is going on but just don't have a contribution to make at the time.

Re: Where Have All The Loyal Chordians Gone ?

I think I sometimes suffer from computer burn out. With 3 forums, 2 e-mail addresses, facebook, craigs list and checking to see if I am listed in the obituaries I just get lax sometimes. I delete a lot of e-mails without opening them. I'll be more involved in the winter months. Like others though I do check in nearly every day to see if I can be of help.

Re: Where Have All The Loyal Chordians Gone ?

I get on here a few times every day to see what is going on.  We all check out most of the posts, but are not always interested in all of them.  It's pretty common.

Re: Where Have All The Loyal Chordians Gone ?

I've been trying to get moved into a new house.   Coincidently, it ended up being the hottest weekend on record here.  So I got to hump furniture is blazing heat.

All done now, mostly.

Someday we'll win this thing...

Re: Where Have All The Loyal Chordians Gone ?

Rhythmnpik - As a moderator, I couldn't care less whether you log out or not.  It's helpful to you because then you get to see what's happened since you've been there.  I know what you mean about daughters, but I was never all that tough of a guy to start.  I think I was knocked out in about ten seconds in my last brawl, which was a long, long time ago.  My buddies won it for me though.  Good buds.

Re: Where Have All The Loyal Chordians Gone ?

Big Jim, you are sweet!  smile

Ian - it all comes and goes in waves it seems.  There is a bit that we do which a lot of members don't see though.  Sometimes I feel like a spy, sneaking in and taking down a spammer quietly after a first naughty post and banning them then deleting their message as though they were never here.

RhythmNpik - Zurf's right, doesn't bother us if you never log out!  It's good for you, cuz you never have to remember a password to log in!  smile

Re: Where Have All The Loyal Chordians Gone ?

As a mod I'm on Chordie most days much as Mekids says keeping eye on the forums. I haven't posted much recently for various reasons but I still count myself a loyal Chordian and long may I be so.......

Re: Where Have All The Loyal Chordians Gone ?

Yes Pete she does, and she is very good at it, Amy caught one in my About Chordie for me earlier today. Thank you Amy.

Badeye, I visit 2 or three times a day, partly to moderate but mainly because I am addicted to Chordie. I am giving my 12er a good work out since I repaired her but I will be playing alone tonight.

Re: Where Have All The Loyal Chordians Gone ?

Well, you guys keep up the good work.  Although, I must be honest.  I like a little turmoil once in awhile.

Re: Where Have All The Loyal Chordians Gone ?

Ha ha... how many times have you come to Chordie and looked to see if I was logged in?  I think I am here checking on things 10 times a day or more!  LOL!  Chordie Junkie for sure!  Maybe we need to talk to Per about selling "Chordie Junkie" bumper stickers!

You are welcome Roger smile  I hope your repair proves to be a fantastic success!  Enjoy your time with her tonight.

Badeye, I will be at a little party tonight at my Dad's after a quick stop at the cemetery.  My guitar is coming along, and here's hopes that my Dad's guitar comes out of hiding too!

Pete, I don't mind a little turmoil or drama myself as long as I'm not a big part of it.  I've personally had enough this week though.  A friend of the family passed away and I went to his calling hours last night, I coached and watched my dear friend give birth to a healthy baby boy on Tuesday, and today I morn 7 years since my own daughter was born still (fetal demise as the docs prefer to say).  I'm ready for a quiet party with some Woodchuck Ale (or perhaps some Jack and Coke) and my guitar.  wink

The question is where have you gone? I still visit / check chordie everyday. I may not post as many questions - but that's because YOU are not here to answer them. Sure, I know.. a newborn kid and a toddler, lessons and a busy gigging schedule - no more time for us regular folks.

So - what is the strumming pattern to Margaritaville?

Way to go Wayne !!! You're gonna be SOOO happy with the worlds' finest instrument ever made( in this posters' humble and extremely biased opinion!!). You might wanna have a few lint free clothes at hand when you play your first chords on your J-45 to clean up the drool !!!! Congrats my man !

Give everything but up.

Re: Where Have All The Loyal Chordians Gone ?

Wayne, you bugger.  You beat me to it.  Do hurry and post pics and let us know how she plays.  That is my next purchase, if I can swing it, but not for awhile.  Meanwhile, let's hear about it.

Re: Where Have All The Loyal Chordians Gone ?

I'm on here all the time but I don't post near as much as I did in the past. Lots of "stuff" going on in my life now that I'm dealing with. I check my moderator forums when I'm on but I admit I'm pretty easy on the posts.
