Posting Ruts - Best ways to get out of them, etc.
« on: May 18, 2015, 10:59:44 AM »
I have been in a posting rut for much of the last year.  I've had plenty of stuff keeping me busy and on my toe's in my personal life, but it's more than that....I just haven't been inspired.  The oscar Weber saga, my lack of optimism about the 2015 football cats and Bill's progressing dementia can really get a guy into a posting funk.

I am going to try and pull this sucker up out of a decline.  I am open to ideas on how best to do this, but I think I'll just throw myself into combo fanning.

i'm with you pete -- feel like i've been rutting around for a few years, really.  i've often thought about "hanging it up," rather than continuing to sully my once proud posting record.  i need a kick in the ass to really get me back on track.

the bbs handbook says the most reliable solution is to start a thread where you ask people to ask you questions which you then answer.

When the best posters post things like this, it makes me question my own existence.

Pete, remember when we had the thread that was "_______'s typical post" and we couldn't come up with one for you? Maybe you need a schtick.

I think pete's schtick is that he is the voice of reason. Not really a ratings grabber, ya know?

Hmmmm, then how did you reconcile the "Best ways to get out of them" part of the thread title?  Did you think I was being coerced into nut roasts?

Did you also think I was being forced to roast nuts against my will?

pick an active poster and follow them around until they flip out on you and then continue following them around but say that you arent until they flip out on you even more and then admit you are following them around but say it in a way like you are being sarcastic but really you are following them around

Maybe they thought you meant "best way to get them out of the shells after you roast them".
