Lounges are overrated. Couldn't we have more patios. I mean, then we'd have more room for giant lizards... as well as convenient access to the parking lot for any tailgators.
The outdoor Lounge will have a huge patio, botanical garden, and pond. We are trying to track down a good tiki band. Depending on the crowd reaction, we might have a reggae band, but it's all in rough draft phase at the moment.

I would have to wholeheartedly agree with this. My mother even told my first serious boyfriend (high school) that I am something only a mother can love. :geek: Thanks, Mom! Lol.

In all seriousness, I haven't replied to this thread except when summoned on purpose.

Kinda has posted many, many times in several of the many, many of the threads I've written over the years that he absolutely hates threads about relationships, and that's kind of my gig here. He'll often write something like, "Oh great, yet ANOTHER thread about relationships, just what we all want to talk about!" Lol! And that's perfectly fine because we're all different. But I certainly can't see myself not talking about relationships in the near future, so we all gotta do what we each gots to do.

So I've stayed away from this thread and would also keep my distance from any Lounge Forum he would have simply out of respect for kinda's wishes to avoid any and all talk about relationships -- because chances are, I would probably somehow gravitate back towards that subject. It just seems to be how I'm built, because that's what most people talk to me about -- even when I'm not in one myself.

A long time ago, a Singles Forum regular at the time wrote and told me that the threads here in Singles were what kept him going. This was back when CC was a lot busier than it is now, somewhere around 2015. He said that everyday he would come to Singles and look for new threads to answer, because that interaction was getting him through each day. I've never forgotten that, or how the interaction in the threads can mean a world of difference to people without us knowing. And it's one of the reasons why I keep writing threads, though at a much slower pace, due to the busy-ness of real life.

But I've always promoted that the forum is plenty big enough for people to carry on about each of their own topics that interest them in their own space, and it's a very healthy thing that different people want to talk about different things.

So, I'll stick to talking about things that interest me, even if that means mostly covering The Most Dreaded And Disgusting topic of relationships, heh.

And it's good to see a wide enough space for others to talk about what they want to discuss, especially for those who want to take a break from, or wish to completely avoid discussions about relationships altogether.

Best wishes to the new lounge!

Seoulsearch doesn't have to give the oath of the Lounge Forum, she is grandfathered in.

We will have a bunch of Beagles at the Lounge, so hopefully that will keep her entertained, after her long work hours at the hair salon.

Don't worry.

The only thing killer about me is my awful sense of humor.

Thanks for making me smile btw!

Life is hard for all of us.

I really appreciate even just a moment of escape. 🙂

I'm glad you like the Lounge Forum, wait until the grand opening of our new facility, you are gonna love it!

Did I mention the beagles will be waiting for in the botanical garden after work?

Have I ever mentioned that I'm not a dog person?

*Loud gasps from the audience, vowing never to read SS posts again.* 🤣

But plenty of other people here are, so I'm sure that will go over splendidly with several others.

I wonder how members will be chosen as part of the cleanup committee that will follow all those beagles.

I won't be able to attend, but I hope your grand opening is a barking success. 👍

is theres a sign above the door to the lounge

'abandon all hope ye who enter here'

or perhaps something a bit more welcoming

'you are entering the mission field'

or 'masks for on stage only' :unsure:

or maybe 'this is the wifi password....'

the singles forum sign just says

'Christian and single? seek (or give) advice here

it doesnt say anything much about donuts. I mean advice is cool but I dont like giving too much advice cos then I feel like its either working in the CAB or going to one and being overwhlmed with the little pamphlets that say

'Your rights as a single person'

'how to stop being scammed by online dating'

'why your ex boyfirend or girlfriend was scum'

Got to have a wifi password. Please make a note of it. CCLoungeForumfora11

Until we got the sign above the door figured, a Wallmart Greeter has showed interest, and willing to step in for welcoming people.

cats are expert loungers, just sayin'

O.k. cats are in, but there is strict rule of no smoking inside the Lounge.

Government will shut us down, if any violations are reported. lol

OH BOY!!!!!!!!!!
I haven't seen a true Walmart greeter in a looooooong time.
Lately it's been these young "kids" staring down at their devices while mumbling (without looking up at you) "welummmmm to Allmert" (I think they're trying to say "Welcome to Walmart" )
