Hi – this is Thumper from the Other Place. Could not use that name here. Good to see so many familiar folks here! And thanks, Honey, for setting this up.

I am still a bit dumbfounded as to why the old forum was locked.

I want to see them throw in a few pot stickers, a KC steak & baked potato, Cheryl’s cookies and Mrs Prindable.

Give it a quick whirr.

Serve to Dave the Glutton as a full-course meal.

Yum yum face.

Happy Dance! Happy Dance!

Hi everyone! It’s great to see everybody again. Thanks to Honey for setting us up. I, too, thought Carolyn looked great today. Her hair was gorgeous.

Hi Thumper, it’s good to see you here. This board must already have a Thumper. Did you try Thumper1?

New monthly theme alert on ITKWD! No more Piiiies and Siiiiiides. On to Holiday Sweets. Does the total Happy Dance count go up or down this month?

All I know for sure is that with DV’s kind of sweets, I’m bound to lose at least four teeth just watching. Yikes!

Can’t bear to watch ITKWD. Anyway, I already know my colors.

Benchwarmer and others, good to see you here. Hope to see more joining.

Without Mac & Cheese and bacon, the count goes down.

Thank you so much for setting up this board Honey! The other place was getting a little too out there for me.

Honey,  
I read the posting rules. What exactly is considered “a jerk?”

Are we in a nunnery or is this Animal House?

I don’t want to be an inconsiderate guest.

One more thing…Honey, as hostess, will you be serving chips and dip?

But, but…what if they get a NEW one?! Here’s “your” Evergreen for Christmas. Well, we’re calling it Jungle Teal, but it’s really Evergreen like a Christmas tree. We’re just calling it Jungle Teal. [double tap]

It would be very limited _and_ popular, you wouldn’t want to miss out! :eek:

As a fairly new member, I can vouch that the SDMB initiation process isn’t that bad.

The doctor says I’m healing nicely.

No, but that would have been a good idea. Oh well … too late now. I can just restate all my opinions and you’ll all think “hmmm that sounds familiar.”

Not watching Q tonight. Did a drive-by and it was Keurig. ACKKKKKK.

What the…?! Gone a few days, and… Not surprising, though, as I’d gotten caught in the switches some time back and had to come up with a workaround (I was a veteran of the old-OLD place, too). Just as well, don’t wanna have to walk on eggshells. Thanks, Honey, for this, and glad to see everyone again!
