Summertime weekends maybe....

Re: Where Have All The Loyal Chordians Gone ?

Wow , doesn't seem right does it?

According to the link in this post, we are posting less and less. Unless I misunderstood the info.

Re: Where Have All The Loyal Chordians Gone ?

I'll go with Pix and the Summertime thing.  Everybody is out doing things with friends & family while the weather is nice and before school resumes in the Fall.

A few of us are still checking in regularly, but that's because we're too old or too broke to go.....  Ok, maybe it's just me.

Re: Where Have All The Loyal Chordians Gone ?

No, I agree Doug. After making sure the bills are paid, the teenagers get their allowance, and the wife gets the house money,there just isn't too much left to go do things. I've been checking in but haven't had a lot of free time what with work and home maintenance. And zguitar, I wouldn't say we've gone downhill, I've been on another site that really has gone downhill. Less posting is probably due to time constraints. Chordie is still number one

Re: Where Have All The Loyal Chordians Gone ?

It has been spooky quiet in here this weekend.  Maybe a bunch of chordians were done in by zombies on Friday the 13th?  lol

Re: Where Have All The Loyal Chordians Gone ?

I've just been working and away from my uke all summer, so far.  I usually get back into it in the late fall/early winter and spend a lot of time perusing the posts.  Contrary to what some of you might think (from some of my dopey threads) I don't like to post when there's nothing to say!

Me with my first ukulele, a Junior Beatles model, in 1966.  After Mom threw it down the stairs in a fit of rage, I became a drummer for life.  At age 43, I bought my second uke...

I have noticed that Saturday is usually the quieter day in here.

Re: Where Have All The Loyal Chordians Gone ?

I've always noticed that it's a little slower on weekends, but I'm guessing some of the others are right about doing other things with it being summer and with school out...Old Doll, is it really 22 degrees there? We've had 90+ degree's here seems like all summer.

Re: Where Have All The Loyal Chordians Gone ?

Cam, don't forget Helena (Old Doll) will be using Centigrade (22C =71.6F) and you will be using Fahrenheit (90F = 32.2C).

I too have noticed weekends are very quiet and I guess it is the holidays and warm weather that is getting folk out and about and not stuck inside on their PC's. I am sure it will get busier when schools are open again.

Re: Where Have All The Loyal Chordians Gone ?

Were so used to getting rain and more rain.
It was lovely today, so hot. Its hotter in more sheltered places also or in the midlands.

90 degrees ! yikes id melt sir.  are you able to enjoy that kind of heat ?

Here's a link to our weather for the week. Look at the rain predicted for
Tuesday / Wednesday/ Thursdays/ [ groans }. Our weather can change very quickly due to the proximity of the Atlantic ocean. Or so the experts tell us. I happen to live on the edge of the Dublin Mountains. Some days the mist off the hills stays low which blots out the sunshine. A real pain in the swisser i tell you. But today from early morn it was divine. not a cloud or mist in sight.

Re: Where Have All The Loyal Chordians Gone ?

Hi Helena,

For the past 6 weeks it has been in the upper 30's here and too hot to get to sleep at nights, the warmest summer since 1880, but I am loving it and you are welcome to come and share some.

Re: Where Have All The Loyal Chordians Gone ?

Old Doll,

  Here in the Southeast of the US it get's pretty humid, so it can seem hotter than it actually is. I guess it's what you get use to but I love hot weather or at least warm weather, I'm not much on cold weather, I tend to hibernate during the winter.

Re: Where Have All The Loyal Chordians Gone ?

This is a a slow weekend down here in the Heart of Dixie because schools open tomorrow and everybody has been splurging on school supplies.
I look forward to cooler temperatures after a record setting hot summer with 100's (F) or high 30's (C). No fun to be outside and not enough wind for a sail - even at night.
Summer temps in Ireland are similar to Alabama's winter temperatures. Bikini season here is eight months long so local ladies diet all year 'round.

We pronounce it "Guf Coast".
Ya'll wanna go down to the Guf?

Re: Where Have All The Loyal Chordians Gone ?

Cam and Toots, we've had a touch of your summer this year... high 90's all of July and just horribly humid all summer long.  Would you like to take my winter this year and I'll take yours?  lol

Old Doll - Although you have all that rain, you don't have amazingly hot summers, and you don't get too much snow either.  I don't know how well I'd fair with rain all the time but I could do without the very extreme 4 seasons we have in NY.

Re: Where Have All The Loyal Chordians Gone ?

I agree with the summer time thing! I do check in every day M-F. I won't post if I have nothing to say or add to the discission.

Re: Where Have All The Loyal Chordians Gone ?

I'm always checking in on here. But I haven't posted much because there hasn't been much posted I could contribute to. I've posted a few topics in the past month though I spend most of my free time playing (When I can find any)

I miss the 4 seasons of home (NY).
Here in Maryland we have 2 seasons...

Winter...then straight into Summer.

No spring...no fall.
Just blazing hot or freezing cold.

I swear, if it wasn't for my awesome church I'd be lookin for somewhere else to work and lay my head.

Same here, I don't come on here as much as I did because there is far less discussion going on, even since I've been a member, it's a vicious circle really.   We should all make a pact to post more often.
