Goodness me… I never expected such a warm welcome! Thankyou one and all. There are so many posts I want to acknowledge but that’s boring and I don’t want to “waffle” on… may I just say, though, thanks to hanza, I read the thread you included in your post… but I am seriously not one to want to be creating threads expecting responses, for me just coming in and reading and perhaps responding to threads that interest me is all I’m after! I really don’t get a lot of time online just lately (work and home commitments are seriously taking precedence!)… Woohoo- Darkhold - I’ve NEVER received a fruit basket in any other forum I’ve joined… this place truly MUST be special!! LOL As far as Rugby goes, Capt, sorry… that’s definately NOT my scene!!! And hey there Ice Wolf! Nice to see someone in a similar time-zone to me! _rolls eyes and thinks to oneself_… “OMG - I wanted to come in here and just read and post little posts… but you members seem all so welcoming and warm” … thanks to you all - _grins appreciatively_ Puh-leeze don’t give me a hard time about Slim Dusty or Waltzing Matilda! I don’t get into Mr Dusty or Ms Matilda - even though I’m Aussie! I do like Crocodile Dundee tho’!!! LOL Radar ralf - I don’t quite understand about “those regulations of mine” Jeez mate! I never demand anything but simple respect and civil conversations! _grins in a friendly manner_ Anyway I’m afraid I’m lookin’ too much like some loud “Aussie Chick” so I’ll shut-up for now, and I’ll just read and get to feel my way around this forum… 😃 ---

spogga… whoo-hooo - you ARE a charmer… flowers AND chocs, you say!!! Hehehe thanks matey! I just need time to find my way around this HUGE place! It might take me a while - I don’t seem to have a lot of time online just at the mo’… but when I do have my free-space time - I’m gonna be here… _munches on the chokky treats and plonks the gorgeous flowers into the crystal vase_😃 ---

Wendy’s is quite possibly the best fast food restaurant ever. I’m hopelessly addicted to Jr. Bacon Cheeseburgers, and the chicken is awesome, too. So, **wendyrules** , you like Wendy’s, don’t you? ---

Wendy’s is OK if there’s nothing else around to eat! Actually my nic is in honour of an Aussie singer who I adore - her name is Wendy Rule. Thanks also to WomanofScorn and Jonmarzie for your welcomes! I can’t believe how friendly everyone is in this place. 🙂 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by wendyrules \* > **Radar ralf - I don’t quite understand about "those regulations of mine"** It was a pun off your screen name – **radar ralf** was perhaps imagining you imposing a long list of commandments headlined “The Wendy Rules”. Wordplay reigns on this board, even when you’re being showered with praise. So are you tattooed like [your namesake](http://www.wendyrule.com/)? ---

wolf\_meister - thankx for your welcome and NO! … I definately hope that the party isn’t over just yet! I wanna get to know all you wonderful folk and keep on partying (when I get to come online, that is!!) And Sternvogel… as much as I think I might disappoint radar ralf, I would NEVER impose any kind of list of commandments! That’s just NOT my style!! And moving right along… Nup I’m not tattooed like her… although it won’t be long and I reckon I will be! (BTW, have you heard any of her music?) ---

\*\* wendyrules \*\* PLEASE no tats, they will not suit a woman of your intelligence,charm,rapier like wit and so forth. You may however have your navel pierced and a bone through your nose. ---

Hehehe spogga! I reckon I’m gonna get a tatt… I won’t tell you the details… but it WILL happen, when I have the dollars!!! But I can assure you, there will be no navel piercing nor nasal marrow-bits!
