On the advice of **Q.E.D.** , I’m here to introduce myself. I’m slice. I am a full time college student finishing up my second junior year (after discovering the subtle difference between credits that _transfer_ and credits that _apply_). My degree will (eventually) be in communication, with concentrations in ethics and sports pr. I just quit my job in the public relations department of a large corporation in order to devote more time to coursework (well, allegedly anyway. That’s a different thread entirely). Also, I understand that I will need lots of free time once the addiction to the SDMB fully sets in. My interests are cooking, writing (I do some freelance), traveling, painting, and many more things ending in -ing. I especially like remodeling and decorating (and I love shows like Trading Spaces) so you’ll probably see a lot of me in Cafe Society, if they’ll have me. Since I’m living in my first actual house (no more apartments!) and have a yard, I’d like to take up gardening and would welcome any help in that area. I also have two cats and recently adopted my first dog a little over two months ago. Anyway, I’m glad to be here, and I promise not to act like a jerk. ---

Welcome to the SDMB, **slice**! The not-acting-like-a-jerk things is a really fine idea. You’ll do just fine here, 😃 Don’t let those Cafe Society people scare you. They’re pretty opionated, but mostly a nice bunch. 😉 If you can get to 100 posts without being Pitted, you can consider yourself a success. 😃 ---

Hi, there, slice. As long as you don’t act like a jerk, you should be just fine. I’m well on my way to 1,000 posts, and while I don’t seem to garner the respect that, say, **Scotticher** and **Libertarian** do, I’ve never been pitted. So I’ll probably sticking around for some length of time, and I for one am glad to have you aboard. ---

I did indeed bring cookies, **LifeOnWry** , but you should probably finish your spinach casserole first. We wouldn’t want to offend **lel**. ---

Spinach casserole in no way compares to cookies – I’d say toss the casserole and eat the cookies. 😃_peers over_ What kind of cookies do you have there, **slice**? ---

They are DOUBLE chocolate chip, in fact. (Please. Is there any other kind?!) And I’m a she, for purposes of correct pronoun usage.🙂 ---

Oh. Well, I just came here to give you Imaginary Welcome Cookies, **slice** , but I see you already HAVE cookies. Fine. I didn’t want to give _you_ my damn cookies, anyway. _sulking_ _done sulking, happy again_ How 'bout some pie? Do you like pie? Welcome to the SDMB!
