Q: Do you look back at old posts?

I ask this because I am showing my drinking pal this website. I want him to join.

 

He is from the UK and he is general manager of a factory here. To persuade him to join, I have been going back through old posts to show him how this site can be a good outlet to BCDS. I have told him how I have met great people through this   Site.  I want him to join.

 

When I look through my old posts, I can still feel the frustration of that moment.  I am showing my mate posts I made 2 years ago and he is laughing at me for being a socialist. 

 

Do you look at your old posts? Has your outlook and attitude changed?

I look back like earlier in the day or day before to see if anyone is carrying on whatever conversation, but nope, I don't look at the 'past'.  didn't even really know u could, but wouldn't want to even if I could.  My memory is about 24 hours and that's the way I like it.  surprise

diverdude1:

and yes, your friend should join the site.

I just done a random " vote up" page back thing. Back to my bad china days. I can remember all off them. And I can remember how drunk or how sober I was.

 

The political world is changing faster than ever before. Our attitudes and our patience change day by day.

 

Its good to sometimes look at our old selfs.

Yeh, I have done, and yeh, plenty has changed. I don't drink a half bottle of Chinese brandy every night and start acting up for a start.

ScotsAlan:

Nor do I. I can afford real Scotch.

I never have.  As per the diver, I didn't know you could.  But I suppose I thought it would be possible, just never thought about it.

Sometimes I notice an old post of some random nature on the side of the page and I might have a look at that if it sounds interesting.

When I becomes so bored with looking out the window that I consider taking the plunge I might remind myself that it's possible to have a look at how uninformed, opinionated, anti-everything... I have been in the past and have a good laugh.

ScotsAlan:

On the right hand side, under your avatar ( oh, your non avatar), there is a button "my profile". Click and you get a list of all your answers.

 

I think it is interesting to see how ones posts can change as you go through more stressful or happier times. I can trace my "Mr Angry" and "Mr Mellow" posts to things going on in the background. It's amusing after a few beers....

How do you put up an avatar anyway?  Can it be your real head?

No.  Though like Royce, i will notice the old posts on the right. but damn it's funny what's considered a 'related' post sometimes! Tongue

 

What could be more interesting than seeing your BCDs, is seeing the predictions people have made in the past. OMG.. WWIII is coming!!!! Again... and again... and....

royceH:

Wait for it........ wait for it........  waaaait.  Just a bit longer now.....  Yes, there's something there.  I can hear it now.  I think it's coming.  It's COMING!

RUN, YOU FOOLS!!!

The old CFTU threads can be fun to read on a slow afternoon. Get a few giggles from them.
