Forum: Chat at the Old China Teapot Cafe

How about a thread for all those small things in your life that bring you joy or satisfaction? I keep a Sierra Club engagement calendar as my organizer every year. I don't know how successful the organizing is, but I just love to flip the page every week and find another beautiful...

Post things here that really make your inner grumpy old man/woman come out! Here are a few: People eating gum outside of their private property. People disposing of gum in an illegal or immoral way. Schools that don't require a uniform. Schools that let pupils wear makeup. Schools that...

We have a good morning thread, so now here is a goodnight thread. Now since some of us have admitted to being compulsively attached to this wonderful forum, we can rest assured that within the next eight, seven, six, hopefully not much less than six, hours someone wont be posting (and we then...

What do y'all have planned for the weekend? I might be going to see the Brooklyn Philharmonic in Park Slope tonight. Tomorrow I'm looking at apartments in Brooklyn (contemplating a move)...then either heading up to Queens, orrrrr going the total opposite directions to Jersey to help a friend...

Perhaps we could discuss our desire to send or receive postcards here. Then, people can PM their addresses to those members who want to send postcards. Just be sure not to post your address here in this thread, that's probably a bad idea. I'm not sure if it makes sense to do it this way. But we...

if all goes well, me and my boyfriend will be going to a wedding next Friday - my boyfriend's collegue is getting married and though we know the couple, we don't know them well enough to buy them something personal (like the cups or the heart-shaped pillow we made for the wedding last year). the...

I'm not sure if there is currently a thread for stuff like this? On google maps you can get walking directions . . . to anywhere! So if you want, it can give you walking directions (on smaller streets rather than national highways) across the entire US (41 days, 16 hours). Heehee. I haven't...

It seems like a very good thread idea to me (well, at least, to me). I re-read what I had entered for the last year and it was nice to re-connect with thoughts of a year ago. Not to mention, nice to remember what I did. So, what will you remember year 2009 by?

Well, here we have reinstated our member interviews. Go ahead and ask Phantom Paragrapher whatever strikes your fancy! Just remember: please just ask one question per post. Have another question? Post again. (That's how we did it before, right?). And Phantom, feel free not to answer any...

And welcome to our next member interview thread. This time our guest is thelastmelon and she has agreed to answer our questions :) Due to holidays, I think we shall prolong the interview till 7th of January (or maybe even 14th), so feel free to ask melon things you feel like asking :)

I know we have a thread somewhere where we can post what country we are from. So, I decided to ask (and, better, post a poll) - what continent each member is from. Since there are many versions of how continents can be divided, I am going to use Wikipedia's suggested "7 continents" - North America,...

What perfume(s), cologne(s) and other scents, like body mists, that sort of thing, do you wear? What kind of scents do you use at your place? And what perfumes, cologne do you like? Laundry scents too. I have not only a thing for clothing (of which I would elevate it's status to a fetish)...
