Cheesecokes go back to the early days along with stump cozies and Duffs.

I never knew what cheesecokes or stump cozies were supposed to be. I don't get the giraffe thing either.
Probably good I retired that site...

Cheesecoke = accidental misspelling of cheesecake that took on a life of its own.
Stump cozy = Someone posted about meeting an amputee that had left their appendage uncovered. Someone else posted the solution of a stump cozy (ie, similar to a nose cozy).
In both cases, ya had to be there.

Not a Giraffe hater but I don't get the whole Giraffe obsession either. It all eludes me but better off not knowing as I do not want to be obsessed. Mike, you have done and or doing a fantastic job...give or take a Giraffe or two Ha Ha...couldn't pass on that one...

Whenever someone mentions cheesecokes, I get an image of someone shooting Cheese Whiz into a glass of Coke. Sounds revolting, but I admit I’ve never tried it.

You sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese atop a glass of ice cold Coca Cola and then quickly pass a torch over it, a la caramelizing the sugar atop a creme brulee.
Delicious and refreshing!

I'm still not onboard with the Giraffe thing... We could start a *Conifer* thing and see if it catches.

Thanks for doing a great job on this place! It’s much appreciated. And I’m OK with giraffes. Actually, it’s the cheesecoke thing I don’t understand. I must have dozed off for a while at the old site. You just need t'get "cheescoke woke".

Yep, congrats on the site. Nice job setting it up. It's been running smooth and was a very easy transition at least from this point of view. I'd still like to see more incoming new members but if the average of 1 newbie per day holds, that's certainly good enough.
No giraffes were harmed in the creation of this post.

It's not an average one one a day, its at least one a day. Many days have been more than that. That said, it looks to me that about 50 people are driving the conversation and a whole bunch are just along for the ride. As a non-pay site, as long as the conversation is flowing, I'm not sure our membership number really matters.

It feels like the old place. That's a good thing.
Thanks Mike.

Doing a great job! Seems like there is much more traffic here than in the last year of the FDP. Guess everybody got woke up.

Not really. Actually, traffic is far lighter here but it's doing fine nonetheless.

really do appreciate the work involved in making this place. I had been active at the old site a long time ago. This place has the same feel as the old one and the same fantastic cast of characters +/- a few. I'm so glad to be a part of the conversation.
Giraffes are tall I am not. The spots on the sides are completely unique (like a fingerprint). The ossicones on their heads are covered with fur. They can run as fast as 35 mph.
Giraffes are Okay by me.

Just to annoy Chris
I never thought of the FDP a a girl.
And an ‘ol’’ girl.!
I’m off to think about gender. And websites. The website gender thing is new to me. I thought this was a website that identified as geezer
