Have you noticed she doesn't even respond in her "what's for dinner" threads even though another primitive will ask her directly what she is having?
You know, I have to remind again that dear old sweet Lu is a monumental improvement over the vile hate-filled hippywife primitive Mrs. Alfred Packer, who was, informally, the "leader" of the cooking and baking primitives until DU3 came into being, and hippyhubby Wild Bill, jealous because she was paying more attention to her fellow primitives than to him, made her close her account on Skins's island.
But as hostess of the cooking and baking forum, dear old sweet Lu is an abysmal flop. It appears all she wanted was the title and the homage one pays to a boss; that she didn't expect to have to
work too.
Traffic is down, way down, in the cooking and baking forum, and it gets worse every month. Long-time posters have gone elsewhere. The place used to collect recipes; now it collects cobwebs.
It's because dear old sweet Lu is
lazy; she thinks that as hostess, all she has to do is regally sit on her ample ass all day long, and have the drone primitives do all the work.
Imagine what the DUmpster would be like, if the main moderators SGT Snuggle Bunny and Freeper had the same attitude; the DUmpster'd probably be the smallest forum on conservativecave, little used and little noted.
But because they're who they are, they're very active here, posting and commenting all the time, providing an example for members to follow. They're engaged, they're involved, and they care.....and since SGT Snuggle Bunny and Freeper care, the rest of us care too.

It's been occasionally mentioned that dear old sweet Lu has been ill, but one fails to understand why this would interfere with her doing her job. There's lots of primitives who allege themselves very ill, near death, but that doesn't stop them from racking up posts approaching 100,000. When I had pneumonia two years ago, I still found it easier than strawberries-and-cream, to post here. I mean, it doesn't take a whole lot to just sit in a chair in front of a computer.....
In case one's not aware, dear old sweet Lu doesn't work outside the home; befuddled bewhiskered Bill, he with the countenance of a Pennsylvania Dutch farmer, brings home the bacon, and all she has to do is cook it. And unlike Mrs. Alfred Packer's Wild Bill, befuddled bewhiskered Bill caters to every whim and caprice of
his wife. Anything and everything dear old sweet Lu wants, befuddled bewhiskered Bill gets it for her.
With that sort of domestic arrangement,
how hard is it, to post something more than just a "what's for supper thread?" (title only, no content);
how hard is it, to spend more than a minute every day hanging around Skins's island?

And dear old sweet Lu's got lots and lots of good material for writing; she lives in the mountains and forests of western North Carolina-eastern Tennessee. She does the witchcraft and sorcery thing. She's got a rather, uh, colorful character of a husband, who deserves written about. She's afflicted with piles. She probaby has pets. &c., &c., &c.
<<<could easily and effortlessly write volumes about such things, if knew anything about them.
It'd be nice--and encourage primitives to post more--if, for example, dear old sweet Lu, when asking what's for supper, at the same time tells the other primitives what she made for befuddled bewhiskered Bill, who works the night shift at the local sawmill, and "brown-bags" it, although his lunch-box is a handled Karo syrup can, not a sack. She could illuminate the other primitives how to make such delicacies themselves, and as a "human interest" angle, describe what befuddled bewhiskered Bill thought of it.
The cooking and baking forum obviously needs a new hostess, a hostess who
cares.
