the great idea that struck me at Village Inn

Posted by giveawayboy on July 20, 2001 at 17:27:51:

Today, while I was about one third of the way through my pancakes, I suddenly realized that many of us have entire interests that we are truly excited about. each of us is an armchair expert in lots of little things. i was thinking how we go through life living our lives in layers and how we often know people without knowing about their layers of interest. I guess what I'm proposing here is a sort of information sharing concept. If anyone has a field of knowledge or area of expertise that they would like to share with another, here is an idea. Why don't you make a list of what those areas are, and then others can look and see if there is anything that they might want to learn about, or share with you. for instance, there might be two people on the board here who have real thing for SHRINKY-DINKS, and unless there is a forum to get this interest known, you might go your whole lives missing out on that common link. It could be LONE RANGER TRIVIA or HOW TO BUILD GEODESIC EXOTIC PET-HOUSES......who knows? Why don't we post our lists.....just think of these lists as tools for us to get to know each other better....conversation starters....
