I dove in here years ago and haven’t yet come up for air. Or maybe the tentacles are holding me down. I’m not sure any more. Anyway, welcome! You’re lucky enough to have avoided being selected for The Questionnaire, but that just means we have to think up something else. ---

I much prefer the **April R.** “dive in if you have something to say” approach. Well I am so new I thought it was something that normally happens but I missed out when I first got here. If I am wrong, sorry for the needless thread. ---

**April** , ignore the sour grapes, you’ve done nothing against S.D,s conventions. Some do, some don’t. Some are shy, some lurk for ages, some others jump in . You’re totally welcome, and we’re glad to have a new participant. Don’t be a stranger ! ---

I for one never made an introductory thread like this. Is it too late for me now, or should I just hijack this one? 😃 Just teasing of course, April R. You’re an alright gal from what I can gather! I certainly know you and recognize your posts and username… so that’s something! ---

Hello April and welcome! I hope you and your little munchkin in the oven are feeling better now. Thank you for the OP. Contrary to some, I enjoy the “hey, I’m new” threads so it’s all good. ---
