_Drags in cooler. Stops. Mops brow dramatically. Motions to contents as she kicks cooler open_

Um…anybody thirsty? Help yourself. Somebody else’ll have to get the nachos.

well, aside from this little shindig, nothing much. Thanks for the nachos. And thanks for asking. We’ll all have to do this more often. I don’t drink beer and somebody’s got to drink it, so help yourselves. Just save me a coke.

Call me a midlifecrisis-bie. Been around a bit, post infrequently, hungry for respect, lookin’ for love in all the wrong places … No, wait. Not that.

Anyone else prefer the term ‘neophyte’?

That ‘newbie’ thingie smacks of ‘Weebles’, don’t you think?

I hate the whole essence of sneer attached to “newbie” ! I mean, it’s never said in a complimentary way! Maybe “outsider” is more what they’re thinking.

Better count me in now, I’ll forget later. At the rate I post, I’ll be a newbie a long time, so I’d better be on the list.
