Coffee Shop Forever, It's time to kick bottom and drink coffee! Options

[Wolfie]

These places get destroyed awful fast by you rowdy people...

This is meant to be a place where you can talk about anything without having to stay on topic. Feel free to ask questions, to talk about the things in your life you like to share with your fellow-members. Or just step inside for a while, have a coffe and a good chat!
You may feel free to post whatever you like as long as it is within the rules of the forum.
But if the conversation degrades to spam, you will be treated as though you are spamming anywhere else on the forum. This is a thread where you can relax and talk about personal things, but it is not to be used as an excuse to make pointless posts.
Please help to keep this alive and well and a place where we can meet and share.
Enjoy your stay here!!!

We had intended the coffee shop to be a nice place where people could talk about their daily activities and such, kinda like the Lurkers Lair on the Official Forums.
It didn't quite turn out that way though, people have been taking advantage of their freedoms in here, there has been a lot of spamming and even some flaming. We will not tolerate that any longer.
So unfortunately we've had to decide to increase the rules for this thread. Of course the normal forum rules still apply, but we'll elaborate here.:
1. No spamming.
We consider double posting and posting posts with only a few words to be spam. If you do that your post will be deleter or moved, do it too often and you might receive a warning for it.
We also consider chit-chat spam. This forum has a special chat channel for chatting, you're welcome to go there, and chat with other members or with the staff as we're always there, doing it in here is not allowed.
The address to that chatroom is:
W4O chat
And for assistence to use a chat like this, I recommend looking over this thread:
http://chorrol.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=248
Or contacting one of the Administrators.
2. No discussion of accounts or warnings.
There shall be no more discussion about members, about accounts, about how many warnings you've gotten or anything like that.
3. No trolling.
No posting of random nonsense, no posting of irrelevant things, no posting the same thing over and over just to get it noticed, no swearing or flaming.
4. No religion or politics.
No discussion about religion or politics is to be had in these threads. If you want to discuss religion or politics, please do make another thread, or if another such thread already exists, please post in it.
If you have a question about the rules of the forums, feel free to ask it to either a Global Moderator or an Administrator.
If you're unsure if something is fit to post here, it might be. Again best to ask a Global Moderator or Administrator.
If you're wondering how we think a Lair or the Coffee Shop should look like, what we do allow, then I recommend taking a look at the Lurkers Lair at the Official Forums.

It's been around that long? Holy crabcakes.

I wasn't a member of any TES related stuff Tim around Skyrim release, but I still played the older games.

Holy cow. Still. 12 years? I don't know a lot of online communities that have been around that long.

Still a chorrol noob. ><

Think the real question is, how old *is* Chorrol?

... Think the real question is, how old *is* Chorrol?

Chorrol was started/formed in Feb 2005 by Alexander and stargelman in anticipation of Oblivion.

The forum saw a significant influx of new fanfic writers in the spring of 2010 in response to some undesirable format changes by the Bethesda official forums that were unfriendly to fic writers. At that time, treydog belonged to both forums and invited us to join chorrol. Hence, you may sometimes hear the term 'trey-babies' in reference to that influx. We are identified by the join date of mid March 2010 that we all share.

I see.

Yeah there's been a lot of changes at the official forums over the years. I've not been back since Haven. I can only imagine what horrors they did to the fic writers.

And now for something completely different..... a shameless product plug.

For years, I suffered from dandruff and itchy scalp. I'd shower and shampoo in the morning, then by the time I reported for work my shoulders were caked in dandruff. Very noticeable. So much so people would occasionally 'brush me off'. My scalp constantly itched. I was forever scratching it, which of course did my dandruff problem no good. This went on from before I entered the military until some years after my military retirement. I tried lots of shampoos and shampoo / conditioner combos. Including specialty dandruff shampoos like Head & Shoulders and Selsun Blue. Not only didn't they help, but Head & Shoulders made my scalp more itchy than it normally was. At some point I gave up the quest, realizing that it was my lot in life to put up with dandruff until the day I died.

Then, during a Walmart grocery run maybe two decades ago, I noticed a hair care produce previously unknown to me. It's name: Equate Extra Strength Anti-Dandruff Formula Therapeutic Shampoo, 5% Coal Tar topical. It wasn't all that expensive. I decided to give it a try, expecting nothing. To my utter amazement dandruff and itchy scalp vanished after either its first or second application. They never returned! Long lasting too. Instructions say to use it twice a week, two applications during each use. I find I usually need to apply it only once per shower (rather than twice) for full effect, though occasionally do need a second application. Being fully retired and a stay-at-home who seldom ventures among the public, I don't shower all that frequently. Twice a week is usually sufficient. Occasionally once a week. (I will of course shower more often when the situation demands it.) Anyway, even during those weeks I take but one shower the shampoo remains effective!

Word of warning. it comes in two strength. The one I use, and one with half its tar value. The boxes are very to confuse. On those occasions Walmart has been out of the Extra Strength, I find the Regular version keeps me dandruff-free but leaves my scalp slightly itchy. Maybe not right away. But I notice it before my next shower.

For those who don't have a Walmart close by (or prefer to shop elsewhere, which I fully understand) the label states: Compares to Neutrogena T/Gel Therapeutic Shampoo Extra Strength. (It's of course more expensive.)

There you have it. I've sold out to Big Coal-Tar. Be that as it may, if you are someone you know suffers from dandruff and/or itchy scalp you might want to give it a try. As all product endorsements must state, your mileage my vary. It might do nothing for you.

Heh, so was he saying he has only used that particular soap for bathing or that he hasn’t had a bath in 2 years?

[Sakiri]

hehe..

I found the cause of my scalp issues to be perfumed shampoo.

I switched to a perfume free and my scalp itch and stuff stopped. My skin is weird. I'm allergic to hair dye, and can't use perfumed stuff on my scalp, but that's it. Perfumed laundry detergent gets me, but lotions and shower gels don't.

Strange.

Also, khajiit, I think he hasn't bathed in 2 years. I mean, look at him.

Thanks to Rider's sound recommendation and reviews, I spent quite a bit of time researching her gaming chair. After much consideration I just ordered a slightly different model by the same company. The main diffs I went for is the model I ordered has a bit deeper seat (for longer legs) and a built in adjustable lumbar support (via knob) instead of a movable pillow. I expect it'll take awhile to get here but will provide my impressions after arrival, assembly and some time using it.

Sounds great!

Speaking of chairs, take a gander at this thing! It may or may not be worth the asking price, but boy does it look the part! (Actually, in the color shown the material looks sort of cheap to me, but what do I know?)

Everyone seems to be getting new chairs now. I think H-E-R started a thing here!



As Acadian and Goofy would probably say; Gosh!

Ah the ye oldie Bethesda Forums. Met a lot of people there, shared ideas for future Elder Scrolls game and then there was that My Little Pony Friendship is Magic Thread that was popular for awhile but eventually puttered out as the sight began to shut down and migrate over to Bethesda.Net.
Good times .

Happy Thanksgiving!
