As the title states, I am a longtime lurker and finally registered. I have been reading the boards for maybe 3 years off and on and stayed quiet over many of the various traumas. I have left for months at a time but I seem to come back.
I also posted here because I don’t want my first post to be in the barbeque pit. It seems that the moderators have some type of negative bias towards that place.
I love all the Mary’s!

Welcome to the SDMB! I’m like you: lurked for a long time, finally registered and posted.
Here’s to a long and enjoyable stay on the board!
Cheers!
Welcome to the both of you! I’m sort of the opposite; I registered long ago but don’t really post much. Sort of an ‘out’ lurker. LOL!
Newbies of the Board unite! You have nothing to lose but your lurker status.
Thanks for the welcome.

Now too plot the demise of milk drinking Mary’s everywhere. Aims her udders at those who oppose her

I thought this post was going to be about hiding in bushes and stealing stuff off of peoples washing lines.
I was quite disappointed.
