Thread Of The Day

ThreadOfTheDay.com will be offline for about a week as I am going on vacation.

So today’s thread goes to a forum about my destination, Isla Mujeres, Mexico. It’s a small island off the coast of Cancun.

The topic in this one is a dramatic dolphin rescue. The dolphin appears to have been injured in a fight with another dolphin. Because of it’s injuries and exhaustion, the dolphin got beached. Luckily, islanders spotted it and were able to save the dolphin.

Here is the thread:

ThreadOfTheDay.com will be back in about a week, maybe sooner if I have extra time and an internet connection at the airports.

Have a safe Memorial Day weekend.

Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial start to grilling season.

The members of the forum at TheSmokeRing.com are ready. In this thread a member is bored and experiments with rubs and marinades on hot dogs.

Sounds weird, but I bet some of them are actually pretty good. If not, at least he only ruined a hot dog and not a steak.

High school graduation is upon us. For college bound seniors, it is time to think about who you want your college roommate to be.

Should it be a friend you already know, or should you take a chance on a stranger? Both have pros and cons.  Living with a friend often ruins the relationship. On the other hand, you never know what you will get with a complete stranger.

In today’s Thread of the Day, the members of CollegeConfidential.com discuss this topic.

I didn’t realize people in prison were even allowed to get married. They are, and I guess there is no reason they shouldn’t be able to, as long as it isn’t his cellmate forcing him with a shiv.

That isn’t the case in today’s Thread of the Day. The fiance is his girlfriend on the outside. But, what should a prisoner’s bride wear? Prisons don’t allow formal dresses and have many other regulations on the dress code for visitors.

In this thread at the PrisonTalk.com forum, a future bride is asking for fashion advice for her wedding.

The groom is lucky. His wedding suit has already been picked out for him.

I wonder what Martha Stewart would advise?

The waitresses of BitterWaitress.net vent their frustrations in this thread.

They are writing nasty letters to the annoying customers and their headings aren’t quite as nice as my title for this post.

Too bad the objects of their affection will never see these letters.

Don’t forget to tip your waitress!

 A man on eHealthForum.com is asking what could be wrong with him. He couldn’t go, passed out, and had to go to the ER. The other members offer their medical opinions.

This website is not a substitute for seeing a doctor in person, but it is a good place to get information.

Today’s Thread Of The Day is at a forum entirely dedicated to Jack The Ripper.

The members of casebook.org are debating if Jack The Ripper existed today, would he get caught?

I think as long as The Who provided the theme music, he wouldn’t have a chance.

Anybody can find discussions on numerous important subjects such as global warming, the presidential election, natural disaters in China and Burma, etc.

Instead, I present to you a chat on a subject that may not be quite as important; nose hair. Everybody’s got it.

What should you do with them? Pluck? Trim? Trim with what?

The members of StyleForum.net tackle this issue.

Today’s thread is at the scouter.com forum.

Scouting, in this case Boy Scouts or Cub Scouts or something similar, can be a great learning and growing experience for a young man.

The original poster is concerned that a dad is too involved in his son’s troop. The dad means well, and doesn’t seem to be trying to interfere, but maybe the son relies on him as sort of a security blanket on outings. He isn’t able to become dependent which is one of the objectives of the trips.

This thread is a very good discussion on whether this is actually a problem or not.

The magicians at TheMagicCafe.com forum discuss and review a new fixed deck of cards available on the market.

The person being tricked picks a card and a time of day. With this special deck, that looks like an ordinary deck, the time the person picked magically appears to be hand written by the magician.

Here is the Thread Of The Day.

This forum is a great place to learn tricks if you are a magician or just curious.
