I'd like to talk about myself a little bit

Again, thanks everyone for the warm welcome. emekthian it was the Boy Scouts that ultimately led to my name, but I was a Girl Scout myself as a child, and an Explorer.

FairyChatMom, your chocolate shipment is safe from twickster’s depredations. note to self: order extra chocolate. Yes, it was generous of Brynda to share this board with me. Let’s hope she doesn’t live to regret it, though.

Ponder Stibbons: I’m doin’ fine. How you doin’?

**iampuhna ** and Starving Artist I’ve already been warned about the “taking over your life” aspect of this board and I’m not afraid for now. Is it a bad sign if one starts composing posts in one’s sleep? Not that I’m doing that or anything. No, really, I’m not.

Harmless thank you for being so kind. nano the other board is really nothing like this, a strictly local forum with no real intelligence. Is my tinfoil hat on straight?

Q.E.D. I am just flattered you stopped by.

Still no Brynda, however.

'ssup? Being slowly hooked and reeled in as we speak? :wink:

’surreptitious’‘depredation’: oh yeah, she’ll fit right in.
Welcome to what will eventually (and sooner that you might expect) become your…only home.

Welcome too, CM. I’m not sure whether you’re going to lure Brynda in, except if she does a vanity search. I took the liberty of checking her last month of posts, and she doesn’t seem to visit introduction threads (well, maybe she lurks, though). It would be far more interesting if you would start visiting threads that she posts to, and reply to her posts without indicating who you are. How long would it take her to notice something familiar?

Are you still flying under Brynda’s radar? Maybe posters from this thread should start dropping hints in threads that she is in.

Ooooooooo, good call Tusculan. I’ll give it a few more days, then I’ll try your suggestion. Meanwhile, I’ll just hide and watch.

Hello Cub Mistress, and welcome. I’m just passing through for 2 or 3 hours today. :slight_smile:
It can get the best of you. (…and your dishes and your vacuuming, and your dusting, if you get my drift) But, don’t worry about such things, just enjoy your stay. We will, of course, do everything we can to make it memorable.
Now, sit up, relax and type/ read away.

Welcome aboard!

DYB DYB DYB DOB DOB DOB! :slight_smile:

Hat’s on straight, your CubNess; thanks for the reply, but I doubt that anywhere you hang out has “no real intelligence.”

Thanks for the vote of confidence, **nano **. This is a great place to hang out!

Hi, Celyn and picunurse.

I found out that Brynda and RickQ have been out of town for a few days and presumably don’t have their computer with them so we’ll have to be patient a bit longer. I hope I don’t have to pull some big drama queen stunt to get her attention. Not that I am above doing so, mind you, but it takes a lot of energy to work up a good hissy fit.

Hmm, and Eve’s out of town. Tell ya what, send me FairyChatMom’s chocolate, and she should be able to get up a head of steam that will inspire you to hissy-fit greatness.

Welcome to the boards, Cub Mistress!

And FairyChatMom, is it too late for me to send the customary chocolate?

I’ve gotta stop lurking so much, all these ‘newbies’ are slaughtering my own post count.

I don’t have hissy fits - I have enforcers.

:smiley:

And LtningBug, tributes of chocolate are never too late. They can be too stale or too melted, but never too late! :wink:

Smart-ass? I never saw it do any tricks.
:smiley:

Yeah, and you don’t want to, either! :smiley:

Maybe we should nominate this thread for threadspotting just to make Brynda feel even sillier.

Welcome to the boards.
Zebra, making pranks eviler since 1977.

Ok, I’ll admit this post is a shameless bump, but I’m making one last try before I go to desperate measures. **Brynda ** and RickQ are back in town and I’m sure they’ll be checking in today. The hints start tomorrow.

Thanks for the welcome **don’t ask, omni-not, LtningBug ** and everyone else. Zebra, the threadspotting idea is great and I love your sig.

What’s “threadspotting”?

bump-ditty-bump, bump
:wink:

See??? See what I get for being nice and introducing my sister to the SDMB? Nuttin’ but humiliation. Can you tell she is my older sister and has had a lifetime of teasing me?

:slight_smile:

Well, I guess this proves that I don’t do vanity searches. Now I think I will–I found another thread that said I was hot!!! Ok, so he said all the wimmen dopers he had met were hot, but still…

Welcome, Cub Mistress. I shoulda known you would pick a name with “mistress” in it. :smiley:

Glad you finally found me, sis. I was beginning to think you didn’t welcome newbies.

Welcome, Cub Mistress! Just so you know, new members should do at least one of three things:

[ol]
[li]Post a photo.[/li][li]When come back, bring pie.[/li][li]Say hi to OpalCat. (Hi Opal!)[/li][/ol]

(Come to think of it, longtime members do these things also.)
