I'll know when it's time. We are now about 84 hours and counting.
I have the thread on trace, so even if it expires, I can revive it when it's appropriate.

I'm alright, thanks for your concern, and the time really is not about me. But when it is over you will know...and hopefully it will never be over.

Is it the time since your last cigarette, or something similar, John?

I've not had a cigarette for over 35 years. I have temporarily stopped smoking, but may light up tomorrow without breaking a vow.
To remind you all, this has nothing particularly to do with me.

Is it some major change near to where you live perhaps? (I'm assuming it's the Western Coast of USA) When you say 'hopefully it will never be over' is it something much needed and long awaited, which is at this moment being put in place?

Subject: RE: BS: 48 hours

Date: 09 Jun 13 - 12:16 PM

Sounds to me like a stretch of good weather, or a certain amount of time during which something bad hasn't happened (or something good has). I'm pretty sure it's not world peace, though (more's the pity).

"But when it is over you will know..."
Seems to me he's saying it's a noteworthy enough thing that we won't need him to tell us it has ended; we'll either notice ourselves, or it will be in the news.

Most intriguing...

John are you just curious about how many flies you can trap in this web?

Am I just curious about how many flies I can trap in this web? I guess sort of or I would have been more specific. I am just counting the time until something happens here at Mudcat again.

You are a one, John, cos I'm now thinking hard about what this could be. As a fly, I'm well caught in your trap. Could you be waiting for a thread to go on for 48hrs with nobody being nasty or insulting, no vituperative insults being thrown and no long and boring slanging match between two or three sworn enemies? Or waiting for someone to say something nice? If the latter, I find there are dozens and dozens of lovely people here who are interesting and kind, and nice things are to be read daily. (PS Glad you're not in any difficulties or serious problems in your life. Thank you for reassuring me!)

I think he's being snarky and whining at the same time... unless I'm mistaken. I could post in that thread if it makes you feel better, JotSC... or maybe post in a couple threads to make it more interesting.

It had crossed my mind that this might refer to a time during which some specific kind of post/thread (prolly not a positive one), or maybe one by a certain person, has not occurred on Mudcat.

Guess JotSC is the only one who's noticed, so far (although it sounds like Jeri may have guessed).
