Crepes, Oh LA LA

[Lucky1]

This happened?? I do not know the history. I do know that there were nice comments about a crepe place in Wolfboro that I had never heard of before today. I planned to try it and maybe even to go and get a gift card for a friend who lives in Wolfboro for a Christmas present.

Then for reasons unknown to me, the owner had her behavior questioned. Why? It's Christmas. I am going to celebrate by having an ice cream crepe of some kind........

It's sunny and wonderful outside. Need to get raking done.

So because it's Christmas, I'm not supposed to ask a question or two? Whoops... just did it again.

I made my motives clear - "just wondering". Honest.

You have to admit that asking this group for an opinion is kind of like juggling dynamite. You can't really be certain it will turn out well... or as you had hoped.

I gave Crepes Oh La La the benefit of the doubt due to the risk taken. It could have quickly turned bad in a single post.

AW is correct. The post by ms oohlala was in November and it was the first post in the thread. I thought it was unusual as the first post in the thread. The threads were then combined. However, if you look at the dates, the last comment in the thread started by, I believe, Meredith Weekender was in August. The next comment in the combined thread was by ms oohlala in November. On the internet a new comment in an old thread is called a "bump" and brings the thread at the front of the line again. Whether the thread was started by ms oohlala or she bumped it in November, I agree with the posters who felt it was unusual and somwwhat self serving. I have nothing against Msoohlala or the restaurant and this forum can be rough . In this case, however, I think the comments about msoohlala starting or restarting thhe thread are valid and not mean spirited.

Have learned of this lovely sounding spot and hope to visit it soon! Days like yesterday and today make one drool for what the posts here described as delicious crepes.

Now I am the one who is curious...............Are the members here always so serious about these little things? Sort of scary.

AW and I are friends, and I apologize to her if it appears I was criticizing her curiosity. I was just looking at the 1st post as not being msoohlalla and was unaware of the threads being combined.

But to answer your question. Yes we are very serious about where we spend our hard earned monies, and we want you and others to have the best experience you can possibly have at any dining establishment in the Lakes Region. Don't be scared, join in and speak your mind. We're just a bunch of loveable fuzzballs really.

And I think it is important to note that this forum would be much less useful or pleasant if what might appear to be self-advertisement was not questioned, in order to give others a head's up that this is not an advertising forum.

I have been to Ohlala, and I adore crepes, they are good people and do a nice job. Just to throw in my perspective : )

Pretty simple questions I've asked, really. And serious? Me? Not really... but always curious. My posts are short because I know people will read a few sentences vs. a 'once upon a time..." type of post. Additionally, I don't have a lot of time to spend writing a tome - I have young 'ens to chase. But this is a 'cold' medium, these internet forums. You don't see my face, gestures, or smile and can't hear my voice like a face-to-face conversation. There is much lacking from this medium vs. a conversation in a bookstore or coffeeshop and I agree it could sound "serious". I'm not a frilly-girl and my posts are generally pretty concise... (probably from my background doing technical writing.)

Pineneedles - No offense taken at all... but thanks for thinking of me. To me, it's all fodder for questions and learning and exchanges. I didn't take it as any ill-will intended.

I callem Lazarus Threads. You think they're dead...and BOOM, there they are amongst the living again. But sometimes only to walk amongst the lepers

Reminds me of something Alexander Pope penned...If I'd had more time, I'd have written a shorter letter.

This forum isn't as briskly posted as some others, so I'm more likely to read a longer post. But on others where there are more posts per minute, I'm inclined to be more selective and skim over or scroll past wordier entries.

How does a thread end? Is what one writes here forever of what happens to these notes?

[Newbiesaukee]

It ends when no one posts

Funny: I skipped this thread because I'd never heard of Crepes Ooh La La—now I find it's right across the street from my favorite hardware store!

Some large, well-managed forums, such as this one, retain nearly everything written for here "indefinitely". (In Internet terms, that could mean as far back as 1995 )

"Archived" comments made at this forum can still be found dating from 2001. This forum pre-dates 2001, but I've never been inclined to look for threads earlier than that. Those may even be "disappeared".
