There is also the big pot of chilli simmering on the stove. Will let it simmer
until about 6 - 6:30. It is truly a pot of five-alarm chilli! Any current
or former firefighter would love it. And the stew and soup is ready for anyone
who wants some of either. Have the cornbread and crackers ready.

Spbecial ed,

Take your stupid drivel elsewhere. You are not welcome here. If this were a real diner I would have taken you out in the parking lot and socked you up a bit. Mabee that would sink in because reasoning with you is a waste of time. You are a childish little troll and I think it's safe to say no one here likes you. And It's even safer to say no one wants to read your constant berage of usless posts. Yes we can skip right over them but they DO GET IN OUR WAY and we don't like that. You are a disrespectfull ignorant little troll and nothing you do or say will have any redeeming effect.

Get it?

NO= you truly are mentaly handicaped
yes=you know you are a jerk and aspire to be more of a jerk

Looking forward to the soup and stew for lunch/dinner, I don't think it's going to get above 40 today, so a good, hot, hearty meal will be nice.

H'mm i would think you would be suprised of my analysis of who posts in this thread & how many posts they make.Doi you have any idea how many posts one of the five star generals made in a 10 pages of this thread. If you compute that out to his total he would not even be a 5 star general if that is his average thru out the tread

Also calling other people names is really uncouth &* shows the type of person you are.

Telling someone to leave is CENSORSHIP of the highest order. You may think differentky but if you think of it by telling someone to depart you are CENSORING their opinions in a very public forum & most public thread. How do you know that others out that are not enjoying my threads. Here is a Email I received.

Keep up the information on the 'waste of space coffee thread'!
Entertains me endlessly.Since they are so interested in talking about
nothing,maybe you could introduce local prices on coffee and cakes.

Again I cannot stress strongly enough that you pass my posts by so that you can stay oc cool frame of mind & smile a ton!

Please also keep this on a civil tone. Thanks [:o)]

Hey mutt, it's Saturday. We need to allow the poor working stiffs at least one day to sleep in late. Let's just say we throw a nice buffet style brunch on Saturdays and Sundays say from 9 to 2. Give everybody flexibility to work around weekend errands, rail fan trips, fishing, baseball, church AND sleeping late.

No, suggesting you shut up and leave is not censorship...just common sense and good taste.
Altering what you write, without your permission, on the other hand, would be.
Dont care to alter what you write...not worth the effort, and I dont like handling trash..it smells.
Do mind having to read your inane postings in your usless attempt to get the most stars...
Stars count for nothing here, especially those earned at the expense of others, or those earned through trash postings.

Most of us could care less about how many stars we have, and repeatedly ask the admins to do away with the stars altogether.
We already know the posters with the most knowledge, and the ones who are trolls.
You fit the latter catagory.

So, once again, go back to the trainorders site...the National Enquirer style of forum seems better suited to you....you know, over there, the boy with the most postings wins....

Sounds almost like the guy who had the right to be in your yard to take a few photos, doesn't it?

If somebody came into my establishment, claiming he had a right to be there, then proceeded to antagonize all (and I do mean all) of the other patrons and staff, and challenged us to just ignore him, I'd use means to remove him that couldn't be ignored.

This "diner" was once a pleasant place to chat. Why not establish your own CNN/Weather thread and just leave us fun-loving people alone?

Good morning, everyone. What a night here. The building where part of
the roof collapsed was the Blatz Paint Building in the eastern part of the
downtown area.

Got the train layouts running this morning, along with the railroad songs
playing on the CD. Breakfast this morning will be a hearty one of bacon,
sausage, biscuits and gravy, grits, oatmeal and cream of wheat. Also have
toast for anyone who doesn't want biscuits.

Joe, thanks for getting the juice and coffee ready. This afternoon, I'll get a
big pot of chilli started for tomorrow. Everyone have a good day.

Since you addressed me personally I will reply to you. 1st if you do not like the tone or context of my posts then attempting to debase or deframe somebody my suggestion would be just pass them by especially since they seem to upset you greatly. That way your blood pressure will stay low & your chances of getting ill from something said in a forum will greatly diminish. While I do not know you personally nor do wi***o generalize I would have say you are a quite angry person. At least that is what you portray in your posts. A forum is not a english class so short & sweet in my opinion is far better then long & wordy. Again my past suggestion to you is to no longer read my posts since they seem to disturb you greatly. [:o)][:D][:p]

Oh, and when I used to chase storms with my dad, we had lemonade when we returned. I guess because it was usually a warm muggy day. So, please one lemonade with ice for me.

Joe,
Thanks for fixing juice and coffee this morning.
The soup and stew for lunch sounds really good,
we're "supposed" to have just cooler weather today,
and not "supposed" to have that four letter word until
overnight,or tomorrow morning.

One lemonade coming up.(with ice)

We get a tad bit upset about storms. And I know they happen all the time.
WE did get some damage from storms last year;
and I mean US ,not just the local area.
Tonight,with the NWS radio,scanner,and TV,I've not gotten
much else done.(had hoped to get some modelling
projects worked on,oh well.)

Not exactly sure how much a 'loco' weighs,but it's "several" tons.

We've had a good time tonight: around 6 p.m., we had a tornado
warning for our area. Had some wind damage in the eastern part
of the city. The corner of a building had part of the roof colapse. Looked
like a water pipe burst: had a big spray of water raining down the corner
of the building. Had several funnel clouds spotted, but none confirmed.
Looks like the worst is over for us.
