Well, as long as you took the shot, you didn’t fail. However, you may have missed.
But since there is now here and I’m slow to catch up on my required reading (again)* might I ask if the previous here was Great Debates?
Yeah, didn’t happen for me, either. But, then again, I broke protocol and just posted some responses and a question that turned into a flamestorm.
So people know little about me and only from what they glean from my exceedingly colorful posts.
In any case, [COLOR=DarkGreen]Wilkommen Fraulein![/COLOR]
–G!
*Which is why I thought the ice scream was choco-late. But perhaps that was last week.
Well, I definitely failed to obtain the better side of that 50%. Oh well, at least I tried!
Not exactly sure what you mean by Great Debates, but this is my first time joining this board.
Thank you for the warm welcome. I look forward to reading your colorful posts!
Sorry to hear that. I lost my sister a couple of years ago, and then my brother last year. Most recently, my brother-in-law a couple of weeks ago, and now it looks like my first cousin is going to cash in his chips very soon. Too much in too short a time.
So very, very sorry to hear that. My heart goes out to you. Losses like that are so freaking tough. There are no words. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts.
In addition to my Dad, I have had other family members too that have recently suffered from cancer, and have unfortunately not won their battles either. Got to love genetics sometimes.
Too much in a short time is so hard, you’re right.
Sorry about the ice scream… That was a weird auto-correct, I think because my keyboard was set to French. The dessert is frisky but harmless. Well, mostly harmless.
And I’m so sorry to hear of the deaths in your families. I went through a period like that, and it’s rough.
Heh, oh it is OK, those pesky keyboards have a mind of their own sometimes!
And thank you for your kind words. It has been very rough, indeed. Sorry that you have had to go through it as well.
Good morning, Libbey, and welcome to the Straight Dope! I am relatively new here, and there are many Dopers who have been here a long time. I hope you enjoy being an active participant here, it is a good place to learn and grow. It has for me.
Good afternoon! Thank you for the warm welcome, it is nice to “meet” another new person, though you are not as new as me! From all the reading I did, I can tell this is a great place. Just have to get completely out of lurking mode and start posting more. I am getting there!
