greystreak98 March 31, 2014 Share March 31, 2014 It's so nice to see so many familiar faces! I was on TWOP (or I at least started lurking) around the BSG and Veronica Mars days. I'm tremendously sad to be losing access to all the recaps, but I'm so glad there is still a sane and civil place to discuss the show. That's what twitter and tumblr lack, I think. Cheers!

MedievalGirl April 1, 2014 Share April 1, 2014 I love in threads like this to see how our favorite shows intersect in real life. Today I was at times delighted and a wee bit scared to see my 8 year old daughter's Once fandom come out. At her Brownie scout meeting they are working on a badge where they need to change a story and make a presentation of it. They decided on a play but the vote was tied between The Three Little Pigs, Frozen and Rumplestilskin. My daughter lobbied hard for Rumplestlskin and she really wants to play him. They decided to do a mashup which should be ... interesting and very Once-like. I can't wait. I think I might be doing costumes. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1921-small-talk-aka-the-meet-market/page/3/#findComment-14609

Whenever I watch a show on DVD, I always go to the TWOP forums and read the episode threads after each episode to see what the initial reaction was. I've done this for Season 1-4 of "24", all the seasons of "Fringe", etc. And I was planning to do this for a number of different TV series I've been wanting to see on DVD.

No spoilers!), and recently purchased the last season to 'watch along' with the forum and read the recaps.

Last Time Lord April 6, 2014 Share April 6, 2014 So, my dad, who has for the past few years been woefully underemployed after getting laid off, as finally gotten a job offer for a much better paying job. All he needs is the drug screen and physical, and he can give his notice to his current job. The thing is I'm currently living with my parents and help them out with stuff from time to time (mostly buying food and stuff), and this job is pretty far away. By which I mean, more than 50 miles away, so a closer move is going to be happening, though not right away. The problem I'm facing is I make very little. Last year I got a promotion, which, after the pay raise I got from that and my yearly evaluation, caused me to gain $1.40/hour, I still just barely ended up making over $20,000 for the entire year, so it's unlikely that I would be able to afford living on my own, and if I go with my parents, I'm going to need to either find a new job, or transfer to a store that is closer to that area. So, yeah. The next few months are going to be real interesting. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1921-small-talk-aka-the-meet-market/page/3/#findComment-23599

ShellinKL April 6, 2014 Share April 6, 2014 Hi, am another refugee (love that term by the way....) from TWOP. Had been registered there since 2002 when we were living in Maylasia - thus the handle. TWOP recaps kept me in touch with my favourite show when we didn't really have TV. Almost as good as seeing them. Lurked a lot & posted occasionally. Have enjoyed a variety of shows through out the years .... Charmed, Buffy, West Wing, and on and on but I loved the forum of OUAT & would read it often. Whilst, I can't comment on the moderators at TWOP (I did get a warning from Glark tho - couldn't work out how to use the quote bars....was ashamed for weeks), I did like the fact that there were rules & etiquette and the emphasis was on intelligent conversation & not "fan girl" craziness.....

Or will I need to use my How I Met Your Mother pitchfork on them? ShellinKL -- I think the good thing is that we are so used to TWoP moderation that we will bring the good things -- real discussions and proper grammar -- over without the fear of warnings at any point for quote boxes and such.

Last Time Lord April 6, 2014 Share April 6, 2014 Okay, so remember that little venting I did about the state of my job, last night? Well, it may have resolved itself. I worked today -- which is a rarity in itself. They don't give Department Managers shifts on Sunday very often due to it being time and a half -- and April, the shift supervisor who has been in charge of the store since our store manager was thrown under the bus (and believe me, nobody was happy about that.) told me that she thought that I would be a good fits for Claims Supervisor. Claims is what we call the position of processing the damaged and stolen merchandise, and determining if it gets sent back to the manufacturer or thrown out. Well, I applied for it, and it's a pay grade higher than where I currently in as Department Manager. It's no guarantee that I'll get it, but I think since a manager in such a high position suggested I go for it puts me in a better position than if I just applied on my own.

I am here under the same name, and I am going to pep-talk myself out of my posting shyness to be a part of the OUAT discussions. I started watching the show when it premiered, but I missed most of season three due to the absolute head trip that occurred after a completely unexpected (and unexplained) heart attack in September. I am feeling more myself these days, and I decided to catch up. Wow. So glad that I did, because I LOVED that finale. I am so fortunate to have a 13-year old boy who actually wants to experience it with me, and it's really fun to watch HIM watch it, too.
