I am not entirely sure where to post this, so I hope here is acceptable!
I have been lurking here for a bit, and decided to come out of the shadows and finally join! This seems like a great place, so a big hello to everyone!

Usually delurking posts go in the Mundane Pointless Stuff I Must Share forum. No big deal. I’ll report this thread so a mod can move it for you. There might be references to squids and goats. Not sure if that stuff still happens or not.

Ah! I was debating between there and here. I had a 50/50 shot, but I failed!
Thank you for letting me know! 🙂

Thank you so much for the kind words and welcome! From all of my lurking, I have certainly read and learned a lot, and hope to be able to contribute some of the same too.

Thank you for the warm welcome! 🙂
I have been in insomnia city all night, and the reading I have been doing here has kept me going!

A geiger counter measures radiation, and the correct response is: Mine is in the shop.
Since you’re new, you get a pass on this one. Welcome in.

Haha. I wondered if that was a trick question. I blame the insomnia! But hey, thanks for the warm welcome!

Welcome, **Libbey**.
