I just want to say hi to you guys. I’ve been lurking on here for some time, I find it a very intelligent and interesting board. Hope this is OK to post here, I’d hate to make a mistake with my first post! I’m just getting to learn how things work with the forums and stuff. 
Hi hon…welcome to the board and have fun!
Of course it’s OK. A “just saying hi” definitely goes in MPSIMS. Welcome! 
If you understand why this doesn’t belong in GQ, you’re probably ahead of a lot of newbies.
Anyway, I really do hope you have fun here. It’s a fun place.
Hi and welcome, IrishMeg, from one newbie to another! I think you’re gonna love it here. As you know from lurking, straightdopers are some of the best people that you’ll find anywhere!
Hi IrishMeg. Welcome! I just visited my sister in Fairmont, WV a couple of weeks ago. Small world!
Greetings from one of the SDMB’s southern contingent, IrishMeg. Hope you enjoy your stay on the boards.
Hello Meg. Are you actually Irish, or just descended from Irish stock?
Hi, welcome, try not to track mud on the carpet.
Actually, I don’t have to clean up, so track in all the mud you want.
Welcome! Have fun!
