With complete deference with : D: I went to look at the Master List only to discover that there are people there like Democritus, who may have considered himself a newbie at one point, but is now checking in at well over 2,000 posts! Because of the way the post count is updated on all of our posts regardless of when it was made, the newbies in the thread looks kind of oldbie-ish after a while…
Hence this thread. I’d love to welcome newbies in a nice seasonal summer thread, where I don’t have to go to the fifth page to find out who posted recently.
So!! If you’re a newbie, please post here and say hi!! A huge big ALOHA to ya!!
DISCLAIMER: SOME OF THE PREVIOUS HOSTILE OVERBEARING OPINIONS EXPRESSED BY MOJO57 ARE IN NO WAY AN ACCURATE PORTRAYAL OF CINDI WHO IS REALLY A VERY, VERY EXTREMELY NICE, PERSON. ANY OUTLANDISH STATEMENTS ARE MERELY AN ACTING-OUT OF REPRESSED BEHAVIOR THAT IS BETTER VENTED IN PRINT THAN ON PERSONS WHO WILL BE NAMED LATER. IT HAS NEVER BEEN PROVEN THAT CINDI HAS SECRETED A WHOLE ROAST PIG, A TORCH,BODY PARTS,DEAD MAN’S ARM OR EVEN GODZILLA IN HER BRA. FURTHERMORE, CINDI HAS NEVER ADMITTED TO USING ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED ITEMS IN A VIOLENT OR INAPPROPRIATE MANNER. THANK YOU.
I’m a 43 year old registered nurse, married, 2 grown kids. who is realy quite normal. I love this site, it is one of the few places I’ve found where intelligence and humor are valued and represented. I’ll try not to annoy you long time dopers as I strive find my niche.
little*bit asked: I think maybe you should give some kind of perameters explaining what constitutes a newbie.
Is it post count?
Registration date?
Well, since I called this the SUMMER list, let’s say:
Registration date: Anything from June of this year on Post count: Definitely under 1,000. Preferably under 500. Under 100?Fresh meat! Come on by and introduce yourself!!!
Well, I fit the bill. Sometimes I feel like a newbie and sometimes I don’t. Almond Joy’s got newbies, Mounds don’t. I do, however, always feel like a nut.
I believe that I fall into the newbie catagory. Are we supposed to introduce ourselves, give our history, how many wives/kids/boyfriends/girlfriends/dogs/cats etc that we have? Would someone explain what were are supposed to do? Bonus 5000 doper points if you know where my name comes from.
