I’m new, too. I’ve also been reading the boards for years so I sort of sneaked in and tried to keep my head down. But I did make one post of my own and it got responses! 😃 Thanks for starting this thread, leviathon713, and letting us other newbies say hello, too. ---

Welcome, newbies! Two questions: Which way do you hang your toilet-paper roll? And how do you feel about declawing cats? Answer these questions, er two, ere the other side he see. ---

My mistake. And I never got chevon or calamari, but now I want some for lunch. I ducked out of the ceremony when I heard it was going to be a social affair. Anywho, welcome to the board! ---

Wow, I didn’t expect that kind of reaction. Glad I could help anyone in the process of my idiocy 🙂 Whether or not I killed the other 712 would have to be determined by a jury of my peers 😉 ---

I’ve been mostly a lurker too, as I appear to kill whatever threads I post on. Good to know there’s another member of that club. 🙂 Google is what originally brought me here, thaks for asking. 🙂 The difference is that a leviathan is a mythical creature from christianity, and a leviathon is a mythical creature from Baltimore. > [@Siam\_Sam](#): > > Welcome, newbies! > > Two questions: Which way do you hang your toilet-paper roll?

I don’t personally feel cats should be declawed. However, it is assumed if they are near me, they have ceased to be and I don’t think they care at that point. Thanks everyone! Love this place already. 🙂 ---

It seems incredible to me, but I’ve actually been posting here for over a year. So I feel able to offer a couple of tips. 1. According to my stats I have been posting 0.87 posts a day. This habit of “partial” posting is clearly my downfall. So I would advise you to make only whole and complete posts 2. It is absolutely vital, that under no circumstances whatsoever, even if you feel a most urgent and pressing need, that you shou ---
